Just a month ago, Mercedes-Benz lowered the prices of all three versions of the EQE by about RMB 50,000.

The BMW i7 is the fifth all-electric vehicle the automaker has launched in China, after its previous offerings here included the iX, i4, iX3 and i3.

The model could be the first electric SUV from VW's Spanish sports brand Cupra -- the Tavascan -- and is expected to go into production in the second half of 2023.

VW's Spanish sports brand Cupra will produce its first electric SUV, the Tavascan, at its Anhui plant, with the model set to enter the European market in 2024.

Many owners have complained about the blackout of the onboard screens, frequent loss of network connectivity, and various fault codes randomly appearing in VW's ID series electric cars.

BMW is recalling 38 imported BMW iX and i4 electric vehicles and 3 imported BMW older i3 electric vehicles in China due to a battery problem.

BMW dealers are offering up to RMB 105,000 in discounts for i3 buyers in China, possibly to clear inventory ahead of new models' launch, according to local media.

While this may be the act of just one dealer, it demonstrates the low acceptance Audi faces in the Chinese EV market.

Despite the steep price cuts, industry watchers remain pessimistic about the performance of the Mercedes-Benz EQ series in China.

The project is another major investment by BMW Brilliance after the total investment of RMB 15 billion in the Lydia plant.
