Electric-car maker Xpeng Inc priced its latest G6 sport utility vehicle about 20 per cent lower than Tesla's Model Y in China, sending its U.S.-listed shares up 7.6 per cent in premarket trading on Friday.
Warren Buffett-backed BYD dominates the Chinese market and U.S. automaker Tesla is set to hit another record quarter in China, with sales in the country expected to increase 13 per cent from the previous three months, analysts said. Xpeng is pinning hopes on the new SUV to help turnaround its sales, after the company reported lackluster deliveries in May.
"We do admit the G6 pricing strategy created a unique product segment of BEV SUV at the 200,000-230,000 yuan range which attracts customers wanting an entry level mid-sized BEV SUV but cannot afford a Tesla model-Y or Xpeng P7i," Citigroup analysts wrote in a note.

How Shein's influencer trip to a Chinese factory backfiredAs Shein eyes an IPO, the company's image needs a serious makeover. From stealing indie designers' work, to violating local labor laws, Shein has fallen out of vogue on social media, so the company invited a group of influencers to tour one of its factories in Guangzhou, China. In a now-deleted video, fashion influencer Dani (itsdanidmc) reflected on her trip with Shein by saying that 'there is a narrative fed to us in the U.S' about Shein, but that her biggest takeaway from the trip was to be an 'independent thinker, get the facts, and see it with your own two eyes.'
