Weilai ES8 takes the luxury route, obviously with the Xiaopeng G9 is not a positioning, Weilai has been benchmarking the BBA, Xiaopeng tends to benchmark Tesla, Volkswagen route. The Tesla Model Y is positioned as medium-sized, inferior in size and space. The Volkswagen ID.6 is a medium and large SUV like the G9, but the level of intelligence of the ID.6 is far less than that of the G9. Therefore, after the Listing of Xiaopeng G9, it will be a strong existence of comprehensive product strength.
