Like the "BBA" of the first-line brand in the luxury car market, "Wei Xiaoli" is also the first echelon among the new car manufacturers.
As the name suggests, "Wei Xiaoli" refers to the three car companies of Weilai Automobile, Xiaopeng Automobile and Ideal Automobile.
However, with the decline in sales of Weilai Automobile in recent months, the "Wei Xiaoli" pattern in the new car-making forces seems to be changing.
On March 31, at the communication meeting of the annual report of GAC Group, Feng Xingya, general manager of GAC Group, made it clear that GAC Aean's goal is to make "Wei Xiaoli" become "An Xiaoli".
It is clear that Aeon is going to replace Nio Cars.
Judging from the sales volume of domestic new energy vehicle companies in February this year, WEILAI Automobile sold 6131 vehicles, an increase of 9.9% year-on-year, and its market share was 2.2%.
Ideal Auto mainly surpassed Xiaopeng Automobile and became the sales champion of the new car manufacturer, selling 8414 vehicles, an increase of 265.8% year-on-year, and the market share was 3.1%.
Xiaopeng Motors, which ranked second, sold only 6,225 units in February, an increase of 180% year-on-year, and the market share was 2.3%.
Gac Aeon sold 8,526 units in February, up 163.2% year-on-year and 3.1% of the market share.
Overall, GAC Aean and Ideal Automobile sales are basically the same, and Xiaopeng Automobile and Weilai Automobile are relatively poor.
Could it be that the general manager of GAC Group only wanted to replace NIO because GAC Aeon's sales in February far exceeded that of NIO?
In the opinion of Che Kuai, this should be one of the reasons. Beyond that, there are deeper factors.
Judging from the overall sales volume in 2021, gac and Company Safety's cumulative annual sales exceeded 120,000 vehicles, an increase of 101.8% year-on-year.
At the same time, GAC Aegon also integrated the pure electric vehicle research and development business of gac research institute in 2021 to complete the asset restructuring.
According to the plan, GAC Aeon is expected to complete the A round of financing this year, and it is likely to submit an IPO next year.
According to Feng Xingya, general manager of GAC Group, there are already many institutions interested in GAC Ean's A round of financing.
Including in the technical level, GAC Aean has also launched magazine batteries and graphene super batteries. This is crucial for gagae Aeon's competitiveness in the field of new energy vehicles in the future.
It is expected that in 2025, GAC Ae-An will build more than 2,000 superchargering stations and 16,000 substations in more than 300 cities across the country.
Weilai Automobile is one of the few car companies that mainly promotes the replacement of electricity among the new energy vehicle companies.
At present, from the brand influence, there is still a big gap between GAC Aean and Weilai Automobile.
However, in terms of overall strength, GAC Aean should not be underestimated.
After all, it is backed by gac group.
As for whether "Wei Xiaoli" can become "An Xiaoli" in the future, let us wait and see.
