New Car Summary:

To be honest, the price of aito asking the M5 is not expensive, and it is a little more expensive than BYD Tang. But as a new brand that has not been tested by the market, I personally feel that such a pricing is really a bit abrupt. Even if Huawei does a good job in the pure electric drive range extender platform and car machine system, its partner Jin kang cyricus is only a novice in professional automobile manufacturing, and the combination of the two is not a strong combination at all. And at the press conference, the link of the new car PK opponent also made me feel a little funny: as a range extended electric vehicle, it is actually more fuel consumption than fuel vehicles, NVH, 100 km acceleration, and pure electric vehicles, which means "Tianji horse racing". Perhaps, Huawei's move is just to practice and pay some tuition by the way?
