In September, the sales volume of GAC Aian exceeded 3 for the first time. 10,000 vehicles.
Judging from the recent sales performance, GAC Aian has always been very good. In the delivery volume in September, GAC Aian is far ahead of the new car-making forces such as “Wei Xiaoli” with the data of 30,000 vehicles. The record of continuous innovation can also be regarded as a company that has performed very well after the independence of the traditional car company’s new energy brand.
At present, GAC AION owns a variety of new energy products, including AION S, AION S Plus, AION V, AION Y, AION LX (configuration|inquiry), etc., covering compact cars, compact SUVs, and mid-size SUVs. more market segments.
At the launch conference of AION Y Plus on September 27, the “small target” of 20,000 units per month set by AION Deputy General Manager Xiao Yong became the focus of attention. For Aion, the sales of AION Y were not bad before, and it often achieved monthly sales of over 10,000. Can AION Y Plus with “Plus” also achieve Plus in sales in the future? The result is possible. Xiao Yong said that as the second intelligent ecological factory is about to be completed and put into production, Aian’s design production capacity has doubled from 200,000 to 400,000, continuing to lead the market.
In March, at the financial report conference of GAC Aian, Feng Xingya, general manager of the group, set three goals: one is to become a leading brand of new energy vehicles; the other is to make the current “Wei Xiaoli” pattern Changed to “Ai Xiaowei”; the third is to challenge the sales target of 240,000 vehicles in 2022.
Among them, the sales target of challenging 240,000 vehicles was once considered impossible by the outside world, but from the current point of view, it is only less than 60,000 vehicles away from completing the target. It should be very easy in the next three months, and the annual sales volume should exceed 300,000 vehicles. Not a problem.
In addition, in order to enhance the brand image and rush to the high-end, GAC Aian has also made frequent moves recently. On September 15, at the GAC Aian brand press conference, a new brand LOGO – “AI Shenjian” was released. At the same time, the first model of the new high-end product series of Ai An was also unveiled, and the new car was named Hyper SSR. According to the plan, the Hyper SSR will start mass production and delivery in October 2023.
It can be seen that GAC Aeon continues to make efforts in the field of new energy, not only in terms of technology and products, but also in terms of brands, and the future can be expected.

In fact, the sales performance of Nezha cars has been good mainly because of the higher cost-effectiveness of the products, especially the Nezha V and Nezha U, which have become the main sales force of Nezha cars and are very popular in third- and fourth-tier cities. .
Among them, Nezha V is priced at around 100,000 yuan, which is very attractive to home users; while Nezha U is more inclined to those who have high requirements for intelligence, and the shape is also very fashionable.

ideal car
September sales: 11,531 units delivered, a year-on-year increase of 62.5%
After halving its sales in August, Li Auto returned to the 10,000-unit club in September. A total of 11,531 new cars were delivered in September, a year-on-year increase of 62.5% and a month-on-month increase of 151.17%.
It is worth noting that the Ideal L9 delivered 10,123 units in the first full month, accounting for 87.79% of the month’s sales. In the third quarter, Lixiang delivered a total of 26,524 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 5.6%. As of September 30, 2022, the cumulative delivery of Li Auto was 211,015 units.
Previously, due to supply chain constraints, Li Auto announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it had lowered its third-quarter delivery forecast. It is expected to deliver about 25,500 vehicles in the third quarter. The number of deliveries fell 5.6% from the lowest guidance, and the current sales volume is not much different from the forecast.
The most noteworthy thing in the sales report is that the ideal L9 delivered more than 10,000 units in the first month. As a Chinese brand model with a price of more than 400,000, the ideal L9 has achieved such excellent performance, which can be regarded as breaking the price range of more than 400,000 abroad. The monopoly of the brand is worthy of praise.
Earlier, Li Xiang also responded to netizens on Weibo. He said that when the L8 is at this stage, don’t buy the ideal ONE. It is necessary to complete the delivery and ramp-up of the L9 first, and the two models can be delivered in the first full month. It is too difficult to ramp up production of Wan’s new models at the same time.
Since the launch of the L9 by the Ideal, the sales of the Ideal ONE have been significantly squeezed. The delivery of the Ideal ONE in September was only 1,408 units, a drop of nearly 70% compared with 4,571 units in August.
Previously, Ideal also stated that due to the launch of the L9 model, the order growth of Ideal ONE was relatively slow. However, the fact is that the ideal ONE has entered the end of the product life cycle, and some consumers have turned to the orders for the new ideal L9 model and waited for the ideal L8 to eat up the delivery volume. In addition, the ideal ONE also ushered in the news of discontinuation, causing many car owners to be dissatisfied.
Due to the obvious decline in sales, the ideal choice was to release two models in one go, and the ideal L8 was released a month earlier. On September 30, the Ideal L8 and the Ideal L7 were officially launched, further enriching the choices of consumers.
Among them, the ideal L8 has two models, namely Pro and MAX models, priced at 359,800 yuan and 399,800 yuan respectively. Pre-orders are open today and delivery will begin in early November.
At the same time, a big “easter egg” appeared at the conference of Li Li L8: Li Li also released a 5-seat SUV L7, which also has two versions of Pro and Max, priced at 339,800 yuan and 379,800 yuan respectively. Pre-orders are now open, and deliveries will begin in February next year.
Li Auto’s brilliant performance in the new energy market with one car has become a thing of the past. At present, Li Li ONE has completed its mission. Driven by Li Li L8 and Li Li L9, Li Auto’s performance in the fourth quarter will be worth looking forward to.

Xiaopeng Motors
September sales: 8,468 units delivered, down 18.7% year-on-year
Xiaopeng Motors delivered 8,468 vehicles in September, a year-on-year decrease of 18.7%; in the third quarter, Xiaopeng delivered a total of 29,570 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 15%. From January to September this year, it delivered a total of 98,553 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 75%, exceeding the full year of 2021. The delivery volume and the annual sales volume breaking the 100,000 mark is a certainty.
Among them, Xiaopeng P7 delivered 4,634 vehicles, Xiaopeng P5 delivered 2,417 vehicles, and Xiaopeng G3i delivered 1,233 vehicles. From the current point of view, although the sales volume of Xiaopeng has fluctuated, with the batch delivery of Xiaopeng G9 (configuration|inquiry), this situation will soon improve.
On September 21, Xiaopeng’s new flagship SUV, the Xpeng G9, was launched. He Xiaopeng called the car “the best SUV within 500,000 yuan”. It is equipped with the latest charging technology, 800V high-voltage SiC, and can be charged for 200 kilometers in 5 minutes. Greatly relieves the anxiety of battery life of pure electric vehicles. In addition, the equipped air suspension and PILOT 4.0 driving assistance system demonstrate the technological performance and meet the needs of current consumers for intelligence.
However, according to several media reports, the higher-than-expected price of Xiaopeng G9 caused controversy, many blind subscribers canceled their subscriptions, and Xpeng Motors US and Hong Kong stock prices both fell by more than 10%. 48 hours after the Xiaopeng G9 was launched, Xiaopeng Motors revised the configuration information and price, with an average price reduction of 30,000 yuan.
In fact, the price reduction of Xiaopeng G9 this time is intriguing. It has a great impact on this model, and it gives consumers the feeling that the price is a big fortune. If the market accepts it, then it can logically increase the profit of bicycles, and no further adjustment is accepted. Well, this is more like an opportunity for trial and error, which leads to a lack of sincerity in the routine.
However, this is just a small mistake by Xpeng Motors. With the implementation of Xpeng’s major achievements in intelligent assisted driving and ultra-fast charging, and the launch of new models in the B- and C-segment markets in 2023, the competitiveness will be further improved. .
