As we all know, generally speaking, minor changes should be made every year and major changes should be made in about ten years. Manufacturers constantly upgrade their original models to ensure the competitiveness of their products, but some models have not been updated for ten years. These models are often very classic or super durable. For example, Santana, which was made in China in 365,438+0, is the memories of youth of many people, and the land cruiser LC70, which is still in production, is a sacred object for off-road vehicle fans.

Brother Gang came to take stock of the top ten models with the longest production time in the world, and many of them are still in production.

Renault 12 production time: 1969-2006 total production time: 37 years.

Speaking of Renault 12, everyone must be unfamiliar, but if you eat chicken, you will find that this is not the Dacia car in the Jedi survival. Renault 12 is a global model, which was produced in Europe as early as 69 years ago.

After 12 years of production, Dacia's logo has been hung in Romania for 26 years. During the period, the sports car version, hatchback version and pickup version were also derived, which was better than Santana in China. It was not until 2006 that it was officially discontinued, and the sales in Romania alone were at least 2.5 million. Mercedes-Benz G-class production time: 1979-20 17 Total production time: 38 years.

Everyone has heard of the name Mercedes-Benz G-Class. As an enduring off-road vehicle, the G-class has gone through 38 years. From the beginning, it has gradually become a must-have for celebrity stars. As the flagship SUV of Mercedes-Benz, the G-Class is the perfect combination of luxury, toughness and performance. A new generation of Mercedes-Benz G-Class will be unveiled in north american auto show, with a brand-new differential lock and AMG-made front suspension. The new generation G-Class is bound to continue the classics of the old models. Production time of Peugeot 504:1968-Total production time in 2006: 38 years.

Peugeot 504 can be regarded as the brother model of domestic Peugeot 505, but its failure experience in China is different. This car not only won the European model of the year award, but also won the title of "King of Africa" in the African market with extremely abnormal durability.

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has a Peugeot 504 of 1977. It is reported that the car was auctioned at 20 10 for 2.5 million dollars, which can be said to be one of the most expensive Peugeot cars, which is enough to see its classic degree. Mini production time: 1959-2000 Total production time: 4 1 year.

This Mini is not a Mini, this is the real Mini before BMW acquired it. There is no fancy version, and there is no huge body that matches the A-class car. Only cars that weigh less than one ton and have disproportionate space and size are models of small cars. Although the design time of the original Mini is only 27 months, it definitely has more than 27 stars. Fortunately for the British, the Mini didn't stop production until 2000. After that, the Mini is just the predecessor of BMW.

Radaniva production time: 1977- up to now

Total production time: 4 1 year

Niva is certainly the most durable Russian car, if not the most famous. Although Niva's technology mostly comes from the 1970s, its performance is not worse than today's SUV. Niva conquered the Siberian plain and became a support tool for the Russian Antarctic base. Although LADA officials claim that they have designed the next generation Niva, we all know that Niva's ability will not be a problem in the next decade.

Production time of Citroen 2CV: 1948- 1990

Total production time: 42 years

Citroen 2CV can be said to be a living fossil in antiques. Although it was produced in 48 years, its design was completely a product before World War II. However, there are many innovations in its design. For example, its roof is a canvas convertible. In the era when there is no panoramic skylight, it is a panoramic skylight. Its car seat can be disassembled on site and can be used as a chair for camping. As a French national car, the total sales volume of Citroen 2CV exceeds 9 million.

Ambassador Hindustan's date of production: 1958-2007

Total production time: 49 years

Brother Gang still remembers complaining to his teacher when he was studying, why foreigners wanted to sell us technology that was eliminated in the 1980s. Now look at India, I feel balanced. The technology of Indian ambassador car comes from British BMC car in 1950s. This car has hardly been upgraded in its 49-year life cycle. If Santana is the memory of one generation in China, then Ambassador Stan is the memory of three generations in India.

Morgan 4/4 Production Time: 1955- Up to now

Total production time: 63 years

As a century-old automobile brand, Morgan's technology seems to be a hundred years ago. Why do you say that? Because Morgan 4/4 is still made of wood today, their production line has no ABB welding robot and no automatic transmission device. Just a few carpenters made Morgan's car body out of wood, and the connection of wood mainly depended on resin bonding technology. This is a car that Brother Gang really wants to test drive. I wonder what it's like to drive a car made of wood.

Production time of Volkswagen van T2: 1949-20 13

Total production time: 64 years

Volkswagen T-series van can be said to be one of the most influential models in the world, which not only opened the foundation of the van in the future, but also led the popularity of hippie culture. T2 van has been popular in Europe and North America for a long time, and moved to Brazil and other South American markets in 1980s. In fact, even at 20 10, this car still has good sales in South America. If Volkswagen is unwilling to deploy ABS and airbags, we may still see it now.

Production time of Volkswagen Beetle: 1938-2003

Total production time: 65 years

The 65-year-old Volkswagen Beetle witnessed the whole process of the last century, from Hitler's deception tool to the pillar of the public, to becoming the originator of hippie culture and ATV, and to having its own independent film in the 1990s. Beetle was produced in 15 country, and its global sales reached 22.3 million, until it was discontinued in Mexico in 2003.
