At the beginning of 2025, an unprecedented automobile price war broke out in the Chinese auto market. More than 19 automakers have joined the battle, trying to attract more consumers by lowering prices. In this war, seven new car companies such as Wei, Xiaoli, and Li Auto have chosen to use state subsidies as support to ensure the interests of consumers. At the same time, seven independent brands such as BYD and Geely have attracted consumers through limited-time discounts. In addition, five joint venture brands such as Toyota, Volkswagen, and Audi and some luxury brands have chosen to directly reduce prices.
