Xpeng has brought its next-generation P7 to Europe, just as deliveries of the electric sedan have begun in its home market of China.

This marks the sixth consecutive month since March that China's passenger NEV retail sales have seen a slowdown in year-on-year growth.

The Sealion 06 sold 35,483 units within 39 days of its market entry, including 30,483 units in August.

The Tai 7 is expected to be priced between RMB 250,000 ($34,990) and RMB 300,000, overlapping with the Bao 5.

CATL and BYD collectively installed 326.4 GWh of EV batteries in January-July 2025, accounting for 55.3 percent of the global total.

In the January to August period, China's NEV wholesale sales are estimated at 8.93 million units, a 34 percent year-on-year increase.

Chinese customers who currently order the Model Y L are expected to get their vehicles in October.

The new pattern aims to establish an automaker-led framework with Huawei's deep involvement.

The BYD Qin family models sold 62,561 units in August, remaining BYD's top-selling lineup.

This marks Li Auto's third consecutive month of year-on-year delivery declines, resulting in an 8.64 percent year-to-date decrease in deliveries.
