Why is the Jingyi X5 not selling?
2 Answers
The reasons why the Jingyi X5 is not selling are as follows: 1. According to data from the car quality network, the older models of the Jingyi X5 have a relatively high number of fault complaints, with issues concentrated in unstable engine idle speed, engine noise, brake system noise, and transmission noise. Noise issues account for a large proportion of the faults. Although noise may seem like a minor problem, it is indeed very bothersome for the majority of car owners in their daily use. 2. The Jingyi X5 offers three power options, including a 1.5T, 1.6L, and 2.0L engine. Among these, the 1.5T and 1.6L engines are both from the Mitsubishi 4A9 series produced by Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi, while only the 2.0L engine is their own DFMB20 engine. Mitsubishi engines are widely used in domestic low-priced models. While their important contribution to the development of China's automotive industry cannot be denied, from the perspective of current industry development, Mitsubishi engines undoubtedly cannot keep up with the pace of progress. Based on user feedback, the Jingyi X5's power performance has issues such as sluggish acceleration and noise.
I've driven domestic SUVs for several years, and I feel the biggest issue preventing the Jingyi X5 from selling well lies in its quality and reliability. Owners frequently report numerous minor problems with this vehicle, such as frequent engine noises and severe transmission jerking, making daily driving frustrating. Repairs aren't hassle-free either, with parts often out of stock, sometimes taking weeks to arrive. Additionally, the brand lacks recognition—people don't even recognize it on the road. Consumers tend to favor well-regarded competitors like the Geely Boyue or Haval H6, which offer cheaper maintenance and better fuel efficiency. Poor sales create a vicious cycle, further diminishing its value in the used car market—no one wants to be stuck with a lemon. Isn't buying a car supposed to be about peace of mind and saving money? But constantly running to the repair shop drains both energy and finances, naturally deterring buyers. My advice? Spend a bit more on a mainstream brand—at least you'll drive with pride.
