Xiaomi su7 suspected price exposed

priced at 361,400 yuan

Recently, some netizens exposed a suspected price of some models of Xiaomi su7 on domestic social platforms, which may be 361,400 yuan. His basis was based on inquiries from the insurance company about the Xiaomi su7, which has already been licensed, and found that the policy price was 361,400 yuan. I have to admit, today’s netizens are really smart. However, regarding the price news, Xiaomi Motors has previously stated that "unofficial news is not true."

At the same time, Wang Hua, general manager of the public relations department of Xiaomi Group, responded that he should have seen internal vehicle registration in recent days. This is also to test all the processes of "sales, delivery and service". Everyone knows that sales, delivery and service are The process includes getting a license and buying insurance. Buying insurance requires a price, so the price is only internal.

Regarding the price of Xiaomi su7, it has always been a matter of great concern to the majority of netizens. Some netizens even complained on their personal social platforms because Lei Jun, the founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi, did not announce the price at the launch.

For this reason, Lei Jun repeatedly emphasized in interviews with the media that Xiaomi su7 is equivalent to the performance of a traditional fuel vehicle with a luxury car worth at least two to three million yuan. The configuration is very powerful and the cost is also very high. Everyone calls it 99,000 or 149,000. , or even 199,000, I think it’s all a joke. The price may indeed be a bit expensive, and it will make everyone think that the price is reasonable. He has repeatedly stated that "within 500,000 yuan, Xiaomi su7 has no rivals."

In addition, according to Lei Jun, Xiaomi su7 is expected to be launched in the first half of 2024 and is currently undergoing small-scale mass production. The final price will only be announced at Xiaomi Auto’s official product launch.

Comment: From the current point of view, whether Xiaomi su7 can become a hit, price becomes the key. I hope Lei Jun can give consumers an unexpected surprise in terms of price.

Li Auto released the latest sales list

Wenjie continues to lead

A few days ago, Li Auto officially released the sales situation for the latest week (4th week of 2024/January 22-January 28). Data shows that Li Auto's weekly sales are 8,500 units. Although it maintains an upward trend, it is obviously much bleaker than last year's weekly sales of tens of thousands of units.

And it is understood that these 8,500 units were obtained through substantial price reductions, and the gold content has also been reduced. If this trend continues, will Li Auto achieve the annual sales target of 800,000 units, let alone achieve last year’s high of 370,000 units? Still a problem.

Compared with Ideal, Wenjie has a stronger and more stable momentum, and its weekly sales continue to rise. The latest weekly sales exceeded the 8,000 mark. As of the 28th of this month, Wenjie has delivered a total of 28,100 vehicles, which is 1,000 more than Ideal. vehicle and continue to maintain its lead.

It is worth mentioning that the current sales limit of Wenjie Weekly depends entirely on the production capacity limit. Previously, Cyrus official said: "The factory that put into production the new m7 of Wenjie is operating in two shifts. The current of the factory Nissan's capacity has been increased to 1,200 units."

NIO has risen to third place, but its weekly sales volume is only 3,300 units, which is far behind the top two. NIO has a rich model matrix, with as many as 8 models on sale. , this sales volume is indeed unsatisfactory. Jikrypton started delivery based on the new model 007, and sales continued to rise, returning to the ranks of 0.3 million units again.

However, the performance of Xiaopeng is still very decadent, with weekly sales of only 2,200 units. As of the 28th of this month, the cumulative delivery volume is only 6,800 units. It is unknown whether the delivery volume this month can exceed 10,000. Deep Blue has performed stably as always , the weekly sales volume remained at more than 3,000 units, and the same was true for Zero Run , with weekly sales of 2,700 units, the same as last week.

comments: The list released by Li Auto only provides a clearer reference value. What is the actual situation? We will wait for February 1st, when major car companies will announce their own results.

Toyota's global sales in 2023 will be 1,130 vehicles

China's market share is only 16.7%

Recently, Toyota Motor announced that the group's global sales (including subsidiaries Daihatsu and Hino Motors) in 2023 will be 11.3 million vehicles, setting a new record, with a year-on-year increase of 7.2% . Judging from the data, even though Toyota is slow to transform in the new energy field and deploy pure electric products slowly, relying on the fuel and hybrid market and the reputation accumulated over the years, it still ranks first in the world and has ranked first in the world for four consecutive years. .

It is worth mentioning that although the Volkswagen Group ranks second, its cumulative deliveries in 2023 will increase by 12% year-on-year to 9.24 million vehicles. The growth momentum is still stronger than Toyota, thanks to the strong growth in the new energy field.

Domestically, in 2023, FAW Toyota's annual retail sales volume was 800,018 units, a year-on-year increase of 4.1%; GAC Toyota's annual sales volume was 901,025 units, a year-on-year decrease of 5.47%; the high-end brand Lexus 's annual sales volume in China was 18.14 million units, almost the same as in 2022 (183,900 units), with sales declining for three consecutive years.

comments: Judging from sales data, sales in the Chinese market only account for 16.7% of Toyota's global sales, less than 20%, and the degree of dependence on the Chinese market is not that great. Perhaps this is why Akio Toyoda has repeatedly denounced pure electric vehicles and said: No matter how much progress electric vehicles make, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel vehicles will still account for 70% of market sales."This means that Toyoda Akio concludes that pure electric vehicles will only account for 30% of the total sales in the future automobile market.

a year-on-year increase of more than 70%

Although competition in the industry has become more intense, the company has relied on its continuous improvement in brand power, rapid growth in overseas sales, continued expansion of scale advantages and strong industry chain cost control capabilities, profitability has been significantly improved, demonstrating strong resilience.

Honda China will optimize a large number of personnel

to cope with market changes and competitive pressures of price reductions

Recently, according to Nikkei Chinese website, Honda China Headquarters Masaki Igarashi was interviewed At that time, he said: "Large-scale personnel optimization will be implemented in China." He said that in 2024, the transformation to new energy vehicles will continue and respond to price reduction competition, and said that "affected by price reductions, it is difficult for fuel vehicles, including hybrids, to have Before fully electrifying, Honda will use previous profits and profits from fuel vehicles to get through."

Masayuki Igarashi said that in the face of the overall overcapacity problem, Honda will consider how to effectively utilize these new factories while optimizing personnel. He also It was revealed that Honda plans to introduce more than two electric models to the market every year to speed up the electrification process.

Comments: In 2023, Honda will deliver a total of 3.97 million new cars globally, a year-on-year increase of 6.4%, ranking among the global car brand sales rankings Ranked seventh. However, in the Chinese market, Honda's full-year sales were 1.2342 million vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of 10.1%, which was in sharp contrast to the growth of the global market. The main reason is that the domestic market competition pressure is high, coupled with Honda's slow transformation to new energy vehicles, it is unable to form new sales growth points. This is also the main reason why Honda China implements the personnel optimization strategy.
