Wuling Hongguang MINIEV costs 280,000 yuan in the United States, which is more expensive than Tesla Model 3, who will buy it?

A few days ago, a netizen shared the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV seen in Utah, USA, saying that the price directly doubled. Subsequently, Zhou Yu, deputy general manager of SAIC-GM-Wuling brand division, commented on the dynamic, saying that "it is roughly more than 40,000 US dollars", which is about 280,000 yuan, which is about 7 times higher than the domestic price.

In addition to the price of the car itself, the export of automobiles also includes tariffs, freight, etc., but this price also really surprised many domestic netizens.

You must know that the price of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV in China starts at more than 30,000 yuan, and the highest price does not exceed 100,000 yuan. In the two markets of Vietnam and Thailand, the price of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV is only about 80,000 yuan. In the U.S. market, it costs about 280,000, which is more expensive than Tesla's Model 3.

With the fading of the mini car market dividend, the sales momentum of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV is not as good as its peak, with annual sales of 237,900 units in 2023, a year-on-year decline of 41%, but the volume is still huge in the entire market, and the attraction in the Chinese auto market is still large.

As for the price of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV in the U.S. market, do you think it is reasonable?
