Overview
- Several manufacturers unveiled or opened presales for new models on November 13–14, including AITO M8 (family flagship, ¥379,800–¥469,800), Voyah Zhiyin 896‑line版 (limited ¥197,900), BYD third‑gen Tang (presales ¥225,000–¥260,000) and Li Auto's i9 Home reporting over 10,000 cumulative deliveries.
- Multiple brands announced standard fitment or major integration of Huawei's 乾崑 ADS 5 and high‑resolution lidar such as 896‑line dual‑path units, signaling a shift toward L3‑capable sensor and software stacks across segments.
- Manufacturers highlighted very large CLTC range claims and ultra‑fast charging as key selling points, for example BYD's third‑gen Tang listing CLTC ranges to 850 km and BYD saying Fangchengbao Ti9 will offer five‑to‑nine‑minute 'flash charge' performance when it launches on November 19.
- Over‑the‑air software rollouts are being used to add driving and cabin features after sale, with Qijing GT7 receiving a large OTA that delivers Huawei ADS 5.0.2, HarmonySpace6 cockpit upgrades and battery/charging improvements.
- For buyers this means more shared hardware and software across brands but also the need for caution because CLTC range figures differ from WLTP or EPA tests and real‑world charging results will depend on battery chemistry, 800V platforms and charging network access.
