On August 26, Caixin reported (Reporter Zhang Yipeng). Within a month, Hongmeng Smart Driving held its second new product launch. Against the background of new product releases, "selling cars at a loss" has become the focus of attention.
On August 26, the Wanjie M7 series, which single-handedly "saved" Huawei's smart car business last year, welcomed a new model. "Since the launch of the Wanjie new M7 in September 2023, the cumulative sales have exceeded 0.24 million, and it has consistently ranked first in sales of SUV models over 0.3 million in the Chinese market, becoming a phenomenon-level explosive model." Yu Chengdong, Executive Director and Chairman of the Terminal BG and Chairman of the Intelligent Car Solutions BU of Huawei, announced the starting price of the Wanjie new M7 Pro is 0.2498 million yuan, and shouted the slogan of "the best SUV in the 0.25 million level".

Recently, the topic of "Xiaomi sells one car at a loss of over 0.06 million" has continued to appear on Weibo's hot search for several days, causing quite a stir. "Making cars is hard, but success is definitely cool. Xiaomi's car business is still in the investment period, and I hope everyone can understand." Lei Jun, Chairman and CEO of Xiaomi, responded to this.
At the scene of the Hongmeng Smart Driving new product launch, Yu Chengdong also revealed the current situation of "selling cars at a loss". According to him, the starting price of the Wanjie new M7 Pro is 0.2498 million yuan, and selling one car will lose nearly 0.03 million yuan. "(Wanjie new M7 Pro) The cost is there, and the materials used are very solid. It can be said that money is spent in invisible places." Yu Chengdong said.
The Wanjie new M7 Pro is equipped with the ADS basic version. Although it is slightly inferior to the ADS advanced version in terms of functions such as urban NCA, forward active safety, front and rear misstep pedal reminder/brake, and lacks lidar, it is consistent with the latter in terms of side active safety, high-speed urban fast NCA, urban LCC+ (supports traffic light recognition), and urban LCC, and adopts a homologous architecture as the ADS advanced version.
"The Wanjie new M7 Pro is equipped with the ADS basic version, which has industry-leading active safety capabilities, industry-leading high-speed urban fast intelligent driving capabilities, and industry-leading parking capabilities, allowing more users to enjoy the convenience of the intelligent driving era." Yu Chengdong said.
As the protagonist of this press conference, Wanjie's delivery performance in August was not as strong as before, which also sparked many speculations in the industry. "We haven't had anything happen, we're just preparing for creating new speed and records in the future." He Liyang, the president of Chongqing Sokon Industry Group Stock, said that the peak monthly production capacity of Wanjie M7 series exceeded 0.03 million units, and the high-temperature technical modification was launched in August, resulting in fluctuations in delivery. "We promise that the delivery volume of 3,000 units in the first week of the launch of the new Wanjie M7 Pro, and the delivery volume in the first month of the launch will exceed 0.01 million units, with a delivery cycle of 2-4 weeks."
