ii. Guangdong province ranked first, surpassing Zhejiang province. Negative public opinion before launch affected customer expectations, but demand returned to normal over the weekend and then climbed further.
.
2. Customer Profile: Ages 30-50, male Ratio: 90%, trand-in or additional purchase rate: 100%
Notes:
i. Customers profile span a wide age range, often come from multi-car households, and generally have strong purchasing power, with a relatively high proportion paying in full. They are looking to add or replace with a larger vehicle, are mainly male-led in decision-making, and focus on pure electric range, features, and delivery timing.
ii. The proportion of online-originated customers is relatively high, with Douyin and WeChat Channels being the main sources of awareness. Voluntary referrals from existing owners have also exceeded expectations, accounting for around 10%.
3. Configuration Preferences:
Ratio of REEV:BEV: 6:4
- 500KM REEV 6 Seats: 50%
- 720KM BEV 6 Seats: 30%
- 500KM BEV 7 Seats: 10%
- Option Pacakge:
- Two-tone exterior + aero-style wheels: 65%

• - Smart Cinema Package: 30%
- Preferred Colors:
- Exterior: Black/Silver

Notes:
i. Deliveries of the 500 REEV and the 720 BEV are moving relatively quickly, so orders are highly concentrated on these two configurations. The display vehicles feature a two-tone exterior, and Black and Green have received very positive feedback. The take rate for the Oxygen Cabin package has also exceeded expectations.
ii. In the Yangtze River Delta region, the share of BEV orders is relatively high, as a 500 km range is already sufficient for family use. However, REEV customers say that even if they may use pure electric driving 99% of the time, they would still choose the range-extended version as long as there is even a 1% chance they might need fuel as a backup in an emergency.
4. Competitive Model Analysis:
- AITO M8.: 3/10
- Li Auto L9: 3/10
- ONVO L90: 2/10
-Geely Galaxy M9: 1/10
Notes:
i. Comparison models are relatively fragmented, with a wide price spread. Customers comparing it with Li Auto and AITO are mainly focused on features and pricing, and overall their budgets are relatively sufficient.
ii. Thanks to the model’s broader marketing reach, sources of purely new customers are more diversified. The specific brand comparison mix depends directly on the types of nearby dealerships.
