Vehicles under Chery brand were cut by up to RMB31,000, while pricing of the Jetour was lowered as much as RMB42,888.

With a comprehensive discount of RMB40,000, the latest version of CS75 Bluewhale became its most heavily discounted model.

Dongfeng’s promotion started from March 1 to 31 targets 56 models of gasoline-fueled vehicles and new energy vehicles (NEVs) including battery electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

The starting price of Model Y and Model 3 sold in China accordingly were down to new low, about 43% and 30% cheaper than those on sale in U.S. Soon after the move, Tesla lowered prices across the U.S. Europe, the Middle East and Africa by as much as 20% on January 12, expanding its price war globally. Seres Group announced to trim prices by RMB 30,000 for two SUV EV models co-developed with Huawei. Xpeng announced to offer a new round of price cuts between RMB20,000to RMB36,000 for three EV models. Nio Inc. was reported to offer massive price cuts up to RMB100,000 for versions of ES6 and ES8 updated in 2022.

BYD Co., China’s largest electric vehicle (EV) company, followed suit in late February, though without official announcement. The Shenzhen-based company has lowered prices of Dynasty Series sold in China for inventory clearance, Shanghai Securities Journal, the state-run national newspaper, learned. According to salesperson at the Dynasty showroom in Beijing, the price of 2021 version of BYD’s flagship Han was dropped by RMB20,000 the 2021 version of another EV model Qin down by RMB15,000, and the store can offer the discount between RMB6,000 to RMB8,000 for purchases of latest version.

The price war is expected to last beyond China’s Labor Day holiday on May 1st, and the performance in the second quarter of the year will decide life or death of the auto manufacturer, insiders of the traditional auto manufacturing told Chinese digital news media outlet Jiemian.
