DoNews Auto January 12 news (Zhang Peng) New energy vehicle subsidies have become an established fact, starting from January 1, new energy vehicle subsidies will be reduced by 30% on the basis of 2021, which also means that consumers need to buy a car more money. However, the price increase is only for models below 300,000 yuan, because at present, only models with a price of less than 300,000 yuan can enjoy subsidies, and models with a price of more than 300,000 yuan cannot enjoy subsidies.
Previously, Tesla officials have announced an increase in the price of its Model 3 and Model Y, with the highest increase reaching 21,000 yuan. Today, Xiaopeng Motors has also announced an increase in the price of its models.
Specifically, the price increase of Xiaopeng P7 ranges from 4300 yuan to 5900 yuan, and the adjusted official guidance price range is 224,200 yuan to 409,900 yuan. The price increase of Xiaopeng P5 ranges from 4800 yuan to 5400 yuan, and the adjusted official guidance price range is 162,700 yuan to 229,300 yuan. The price increase of Xiaopeng G3i also ranges from 4800 yuan to 5400 yuan, and the adjusted official guidance price range is 154,600 yuan to 193,200 yuan. However, it should be noted that this price increase only involves price adjustments, and there is no change in appearance, interior and configuration.
In fact, the new policy has long been implemented from New Year's Day 2022, and the reason why Xiaopeng Motors did not announce the latest price until today is because its official announced at the end of December 2021 that it was decided before 24:00 on January 10, 2022, and it can also enjoy the 2021 standard subsidy, and January 11 has just passed this time node.
As one of the earliest new car-making forces, Xiaopeng Automobile's sales performance last year has increased significantly, Xiaopeng Automobile delivered a total of 98,155 models in 2021, which is 3.6 times that of 2020, of which the main force of wanting to sell is Xiaopeng P7, with a total of 60,569 units delivered throughout the year, accounting for 62% of the total delivery volume of the year. The cumulative annual delivery volume of Xiaopeng G3 series was 29,721 units, an increase of 148% year-on-year. The Xiaopeng P5 just began delivery in October, the production capacity is still in a state of climbing, delivery of 5030 units in December, and it is likely to surpass the Xiaopeng P7 to become the main model this year.
It is worth mentioning that the Xiaopeng P5 in October last year due to the shortage of millimeter-wave radar supply, affecting the production and delivery time of some models, for customers who choose to pick up the radar delivery plan after lifting, Xiaopeng officially expects to start the reload radar in batches from March 31, 2022. For customers who reload radar, Xiaopeng Automobile will give away XPILOT (3.0/3.5) software for free to car owners, which is worth about 20,000-30,000 yuan. However, this series of riotous operations also made many netizens at that time complain that they had booked a car but could not mention it, and only the car without radar was mentioned.
With the decline of new energy subsidies, electric vehicles have ushered in a difficult hurdle this year, and the resistance to buying a car for consumers has increased by one point, and it is time for car companies to fight with opponents to fight bayonets, at this juncture, only excellent strength can survive.
epilogue:
With the decline of new energy subsidies, Xiaopeng Automobile, as a car company with more models of less than 300,000 yuan among the new forces, has raised the price of almost all its models this time, which has deterred many consumers who are willing to buy a car, which will also usher in a difficult year for Xiaopeng Automobile. At present, its Xiaopeng G9 has not yet announced the price, and it will certainly use the latest subsidy policy as a reference when it is listed in the future. As for whether it will affect the sales of Xiaopeng Automobile, we may wish to look forward to it.
