May 9 news, there are recent reports that Evergrande Automobile's Hengchi brand recently opened pre-sale, "blind booking" within 10 hours of the order reached 50,000 vehicles.
As soon as the news was exposed, it caused widespread discussion among netizens, and some netizens said that they did not see the booking entrance of Hengchi 5, and questioned the data of "50,000 blind bookings in 10 hours". After all, even phenomenal products such as Wuling Hongguang MINI EV and Tesla Model Y did not have such an exaggerated order volume after the pre-sale was opened at that time.
Subsequently, some media intended to seek verification from Evergrande Automobile, but the official Hengchi new energy vehicle telephone and related numbers were in an empty or unreachable state.
By logging on to the official website of Hengchi Automobile, we found that the website only has a "book now" button for Hengchi 5 models, but the reservation method only needs to leave personal information such as contact information, and there is no content related to ordering and payment. Therefore, from the current situation, the news of "Hengchi Automobile Pre-sale 10 Hours Explosion 50,000 Units" on the Internet does not have any data support, nor does it have any official news that Hengchi Automobile has opened pre-sale.
According to the previous plan, Hengchi brand's first mass-produced SUV Hengchi 5 will open pre-sale in the first half of this year, and the mass production car is scheduled to roll off the production line on June 22. The new car is positioned as a pure electric compact SUV, CLTC has a working life of 602 kilometers, and will compete with luxury brands such as Audi Q3 entry-level SUVs after listing, and the starting price is expected to exceed 150,000 yuan.
In March this year, Hengchi's first batch of exhibition experience centers and sales centers were opened in China. In April, Evergrande Automobile openly recruited authorized agents from the society, requiring the registered capital of the registered company to be no less than 5 million yuan, and at the same time meeting the needs of venues such as exhibition halls with more than 200 square meters.
Hengchi Automobile said that in the future, new cars will adopt the way of national unified retail prices to carry out order-based sales to ensure sales profits, which is similar to the model adopted by many new car manufacturers at present.
