把時間撥回一千年前嘅泉州港。彼時桅牆如林、蕃商雲集,碼頭邊碼放住即將裝船嘅景德鎮瓷器、杭州絲綢與武夷茶葉,佢哋將乘着季風一路向南,穿過南洋,轉戰抵達萬里之外嘅羅馬。
時間來到二零二六年,一支比亞迪車隊從西安大唐西市發車,沿住亳州香藥、景德鎮瓷器、杭州絲綢、武夷山茶葉四條千年文脈一路南下,經泉州、潮州,最終抵達深圳完成出海儀式。

瓷器、絲綢、茶葉。這些係一千年前我哋對外貿易嘅「硬通貨」。而來到一千年後,深圳港一艘艘滾裝巨輪緩緩離泊,船艙裏整齊排列嘅不係絲綢瓷器,而係成千上萬輛新能源汽車,目的地同千年前出奇地一致,依舊係歐洲同東南亞。
有些朋友可能會把比亞迪呢場「絲路萬里行」活動認為係一場單純嘅品牌宣發。但如果深挖其內涵,會發現佢實際上係一場跨越咗千年嘅文化接力。點解咁講?讓我哋從千年前嗰條古老商路開始講起。
絲綢之路,一張中國嘅千年名片
提起絲綢之路,好多人腦海裏浮現嘅係駝鈴聲聲、黃沙漫天嘅陸上通道。
但實際上,古絲綢之路從來都係雙線並行。陸上絲路自西安啟程,一路向西翻山越嶺,直抵羅馬;海上絲路則以泉州為起點,揚帆遠航、穿行南洋。這兩條路途迥異嘅通道殊途同歸,成為咗古代中國同世界貿易嘅橋樑。

通讀歷史嘅朋友肯定知道,喺呢條貿易通道上我哋輸出嘅,就係亳州香藥、景德鎮瓷器、杭州絲綢、武夷茶葉等古中國特產。雖然話係「特產」,但這些產品嘅分量喺當時遠比我哋想象中要重。
瓷器就係那個時代嘅「高科技產品」,歐洲人直到十八世紀先破譯出硬質瓷嘅燒製密碼,喺此之前嘅幾百年入面,中國白瓷喺歐洲被視為「白色黃金」。絲綢與茶葉同樣係稀缺嘅「硬通貨」,喺羅馬,絲綢嘅價格幾乎與等重嘅黃金相當。
換句話說,千年前嘅中國產品出海,輸出嘅唔只係商品,而係當時世界頂級嘅工藝同技術。

而來到千年後嘅今天,比亞迪車隊重走嘅唔只係地理意義上嘅古道,而係一條將「中國好產品贏得世界」嘅路徑。只不過,比亞迪嘅貨單上係世界前列嘅新能源汽車、動力電池、仲有一整套補能體系。
從賣產品到建體系,出海嘅含金量正越來越高
看中國車企出海,銷量永遠係最直觀嘅切口。
比亞迪嘅海外銷量已經突破百萬輛,同比增長超過 140%,產品覆蓋全球超過 120 個國家同地區。從開始規模化出海到銷量百萬輛,比亞迪只係用咗短短幾年。呢個速度放喺之前任何一家跨國車企嘅歷史上都唔尋常。即使是豐田同大眾,完成類似嘅全球布局,都用咗幾十年嘅時間。
當然,銷量只係一個片面數據,只盯着銷量看,嗰可能仲把比亞迪出海嘅格局看淺咗。

今日嘅比亞迪出海,最值得注意嘅反而係「體系」二字。8 艘自有滾裝船常態化穿梭於全球航線,把整車直接送达歐美同東南亞港口;泰國羅勇工廠呢座比亞迪海外首座乘用車基地,把零部件同員工都進行咗本土化,整車就地生產、再出口歐洲。除咗泰國工廠之外,比亞迪仲有巴西、烏茲別克斯坦、匈牙利等多基地同步布局,形成咗「國內研發 + 海外本地化生產 + 全球海運」嘅完整閉環。
技術嘅輸出更為重要。第二代刀片電池、閃充補能體系,正隨著整車同步落地海外。歐洲嘅首座閃充站已經建成,烏茲別克斯坦嘅專屬補能網絡正喺鋪設,甚至「光儲充」一體化電站方案已經進入咗中亞市場。
千年前嘅瓷器商船裝嘅係成品,今日嘅滾裝巨輪裝嘅唔只係成品車,仲有工廠、技術同標準。出海嘅載體變咗,出海嘅深度,也完全變咗。
新海上絲路,把最好嘅中國造送去全世界
喺呢次比亞迪「絲綢萬里行」活動入面,其實有一個細節值得玩味,那就係泉州一站嘅分量被明顯加重咗。
車隊喺呢度探訪海交史博物館,喺提線木偶嘅絲線間睇千年技藝,喺僑批館裏讀一封封漂洋過海嘅家書。點解特地選擇泉州呢?因為呢座城市保存住海上絲綢之路最完整嘅記憶。佢既係中國同世界通過海洋深度交往嘅原點,亦係理解今日中國出海邏輯嘅一把鑰匙。

直到今日,全球八成以上嘅貨物貿易依然依賴海運,海上航線就係全球化嘅血管。中國汽車出海嘅主戰場:歐洲、東南亞、拉美,其實全都需要海航先至可以更具經濟效益地到達。比亞迪自建 8 艘滾裝船,本質上就係把呢條「血管」握係自己手裏。
這也是為咗咩喺之前嘅「雙絲路敘事」入面,海上絲路其實先係重頭戲。從泉州港到深圳港,從宋元時期嘅市舶司到今日嘅滾裝碼頭,中國同世界嘅海上通道從未關閉,只係船上嘅貨,從絲綢瓷器變成咗電池、整車同光儲方案,也就係今日常講嘅出海「新三樣」。
而呢張新名片嘅分量,絲毫不亞於千年前嘅瓷器。當沿線國家用上中國嘅新能源汽車、中國嘅閃充站、中國嘅光儲充方案時,中國輸出嘅就不只係產品,而係一整套綠色、可持續嘅發展路徑。

當比亞迪車隊駛離深圳港嗰一刻,我哋看到嘅唔只係一家車企嘅遠航,而係一次跨越千年嘅交棒。古絲路嘅香藥、瓷器、絲綢、茶葉,同新時代嘅電池、整車、補能體系,喺同一片海域完成交接。載體確實在變,但內核卻冇有改變:把最好嘅中國造,送去全世界。

8 月 12 日,奇瑞風雲 T7 正式開啟預售。這次發布會的主題是「慢工造好車,久等了」。能看出奇瑞沒有跟風行業快速造車的節奏,反而花足時間打磨一台面向普通家庭、經得起全球路況檢驗的純電 SUV。新車一共推出三款版型,預售區間卡在 10.99 萬 -12.99 萬元,訂車還能疊加七重購車權益,整體定價剛好卡在家用純電 SUV 競爭最激烈的價位段。

說說這台車最核心的底層邏輯,它不是一台只針對國內路況開發的代步車。奇瑞有 23 年全球化造車積累,這台車走的是反向出海驗證再回歸國內的路線。
同源車型 Lepas L6 已經在南非、泰國上市,還登上過米蘭設計週,提前經過海外市場真實用戶檢驗。研發週期足足五年,兩年策劃、三年完整研發,投入 81 台專屬耐久車同步路試,整車累計測試里程突破 600 萬公里,光是耐久專項測試就跑了 145 萬公里。東南亞雨季、中東高溫、北歐極寒、巴西爛路,全球上百種極限環境全部完整試煉一遍,這也是它敢打出「全球品質」標籤的底氣。

現在很多家用電車外觀要么過於浮誇,要么內飾用料廉價,開兩三年就顯舊。風雲 T7 在設計上避開了這個短板。外觀由奇瑞全球十大設計中心、五千多名海內外用戶共創,御風前臉、流線型絲綢車身搭配貫穿式霞光尾燈,線條簡約耐看,不會有過時的風險。車漆一共提供六款東方意境配色,其中熾焰橙採用豪車級三層噴塗工藝,全車漆面同步海外耐候標準,長期暴曬、冷熱交替也不容易褪色失光。

內飾分溫暖黑棕、極夜黑曜兩種風格,整個座艙叫雲翼環抱設計,大面積軟包覆鋪滿車內。鵝卵石造型懸浮揚聲器、菱格縫紉座椅細節提升精緻度,內飾皮革、塑料件都做了抗老化處理,不用擔心用久了發硬發白,兼顧家用溫馨和長期質感。
安全是家庭用戶選電車最看重的一點,風雲 T7 的安全規格放在 10 萬級車裡幾乎沒有對手。

整車按照 2026 版 E-NCAP 五星標準開發,功能安全達到 ASILD 最高等級。車身 80% 高強度鋼、18.84% 熱成型鋼,九橫五縱籠式車身搭配同級獨有的 Shotgun 結構、雙框副車架加電池防撞梁,前後一共 15 條碰撞傳力通道,最大程度分散撞擊力度,守住乘員艙生存空間。
全系標配 9 個安全氣囊,包含 48L 大容積遠端氣囊、後排側氣囊,360 度覆蓋車內每一位乘客。電池方面搭載犀牛 6D 防護電池,31 層鎖子甲防護結構,側邊抗擠壓能力是國標兩倍,IP68 防水等級達到國標 96 倍,城市內澇、雨天涉水不用擔憂電池短路。更有行業少見的兩大兜底保障,首任非營運車主如果電池自身問題引發熱失控,直接賠付同款新車;一年內智駕輔助系統故障引發事故,最高 500 萬賠付,直接打消大家對電車安全的後顧之憂。
目前市面上多數同價位純電 SUV,入門款只會給到四百多公里續航,想要長續航就得加錢上高配。風雲 T7 直接打破這種分級溢價套路,三款車款全部標配 65.05kWh 犀牛電池,CLTC 續航 600 公里,實測續航能跑到 667 公里,屬於行業少見的「反向虛標」。

充電速度也很實用,電量 30% 充到 80% 僅需 20 分鐘,日常逛商場、喝咖啡的空檔就能補能三百公里。
針對南北方不同氣候,標配全域雙源寬溫域熱泵空調加高壓 PTC,工作溫域覆蓋 -30℃到 55℃。北方冬季低溫制熱省電,高溫地區散熱穩定,再配合 AGS 智能進氣格柵和 14 項低風阻優化,不管高速還是市區,能耗表現都很穩定,不會出現冬天續航大幅縮水的情況。電池循環壽命超 2500 次,家用十五年基本不用更換電池,長期用車成本更低。
智能配置是這台車的另一大越級亮點,同級首發 4nm 製程 8775 艙駕一體晶片,72TOPS 高算力,系統響應僅 80 毫秒,開機速度提升三成,車機操作順滑不卡頓。
座艙配備 15.6 英寸 2.5K 防眩光大屏,無線 CarPlay、華為 HiCar 全部支持,適配市面上絕大多數手機。靈犀智艙 2.0 接入豆包大模型,提供六種真人感語音人設,還有小憩、露營、寵物、醒神六大一鍵場景模式,駐車場景不用反覆調節設定。

智駕搭載獵鷹 500 輔助系統,全車 22 顆高精度傳感器,包含 3 顆毫米波雷達、7 顆攝像頭。最實用的跨樓層記憶泊車,三百多種全場景自動泊車全部標配,支持兩公里內跨樓層記憶、斷頭路泊車、一鍵循跡倒車,過去只在二十萬級高端車款上才有的泊車功能,十萬價位就能落地,對新手、女性車主十分友好。
車身尺寸 4570×1852×1694mm,軸距 2700mm,車內得房率高達 84%,後排純平地台,腿部空間達到 911mm,高個子乘客乘坐也不會局促。後排座椅放倒之後,能形成 1955mm 純平大床,常規行李箱 450L,拓展後可達 1550L,露營裝備、大件行李都能輕鬆收納。

座椅採用九層雲感複合結構,軟而不塌陷,同時標配三檔加熱、吸風式通風。零下二十度環境五分鐘就能加熱到 30℃,夏天通風不悶後背。車內設計 38 處儲物空間,行李箱四個承重 300kg 鉚環、兩個掛鉤,戶外裝載、居家收納都很方便。
底盤由瑪莎拉蒂前底盤調校專家帶隊的國際化團隊打磨,50.8:49.2 黃金軸荷比,高速不飄、過彎不推頭甩尾,再加上奇瑞二十六年底盤研發功底,城市通勤、山路自駕、長途高速都能保持平穩舒適。

當下十萬到十三萬純電緊湊型 SUV,是新能源市場競爭最白熱化的賽道。
比亞迪元 PLUS、長安啟源 Q05、零跑 B10、廣汽鉑智 3X 幾款主流車款各有側重,但普遍存在明顯短板。比如元 PLUS 入門續航僅五百多公里,高配車款價格突破 14 萬;零跑 B10 低續航版本配置縮水,高階智駕需要選裝;長安啟源 Q05 在車身鋼材、氣囊數量、底盤調校上存在降級,多數車款只有六氣囊,缺少遠端氣囊;合資鉑智 3X 雖然有品牌加持,但底盤調校、車內空間拓展能力偏弱,也沒有終身質保這類長期保障政策。
大部分競爭對手都在做配置取捨:要么犧牲續航換低價,要么縮減安全配置控制成本,智駕、舒適、安全很難做到全系均衡。風雲 T7 剛好踩中市場空白,打出了「全系無縮水」的產品路線。
短期來看,這台車會直接分流原本考慮元 PLUS、啟源 Q05、零跑 B10 的潛在客戶;長期而言,它樹立了十萬級純電 SUV 全新價值標尺,倒逼同價位競爭對手提升安全、續航、智駕的基礎配置,未來在 10-13 萬細分市場,會成為極具競爭力的黑馬車款。

7 月 29 日,五菱 Aira ev 喺印度尼西亚國際汽車展覽會正式上陣。新車提供標準續航同長續航兩個版本,CLTC 續航分別係 205 公里同 301 公里,雅加達地區售價分別係 1.55 億同 1.75 億印尼盾(約合 3.9 萬同 4.5 萬人民幣)。針對長續航版,五菱同步推出“Deal n Drive”計劃,符合條件嘅消費者完成購車手續後,可以喺當天提車。

1.55 億印尼盾嘅起售價,令一款四門純電動車進入咗當地更大眾化嘅價格區間。Aira ev 延續第五代宏光 MINIEV 嘅產品基礎,並針對印尼市場完成右舵、充電接口同內飾配色等適配,成為五菱繼續深耕城市純電市場嘅新產品。
Aira ev 睇落只係一款入門電動車,但它背後連接住五菱進入印尼九年來形成嘅本地工廠、供應鏈、渠道同用戶基礎。同 Air ev 最初進入一個尚未成熟嘅純電市場唔同,Aira ev 面對嘅係品牌更多、產品更豐富嘅競爭環境。五菱要繼續擴大喺當地嘅市場份額位置,靠嘅已經唔止係一款爆款,而係一整套能夠持續推出、生產同交付新產品嘅本土化運營體系。
九年扎根
五菱建立嘅唔只係一座工廠
2017 年,五菱正式喺印尼推出首款車型。其後,五菱不斷強化芝卡朗工廠同本地供應鏈,並擴展銷售同售後服務網絡。截至 2026 年 7 月,五菱已喺印尼累計生產 20 萬輛汽車,獲得 18 萬名當地用戶,印尼製造車型累計出口 1 萬輛,並曾進入當地乘用車品牌前十。五菱仲係首家喺印尼本地組裝電動車電池嘅中國汽車企業。
2025 年,五菱喺印尼嘅零售銷量達到 20607 輛。過去九年,五菱唔單止完成咗由產品導入到本地生產嘅跨越,亦喺一個長期由豐田、大發、本田、三菱同鈴木等眾多日系品牌主導嘅市場中,穩步爭取到屬於中國品牌嘅一塊份額。
截至 2025 年 7 月,五菱喺印尼擁有 150 家經銷商,覆蓋銷售同售後服務。本地工廠唔單止生產燃油車、混動車同純電動車,亦承擔面向其他同其他國家同地區嘅出口任務。對於後來進入印尼嘅中國品牌而言,工廠、渠道同消費者認知仍需要由頭建設;對五菱而言,呢啲環節已經組成咗一套能夠持續支援產品導入同市場擴張嘅經營體系。
五菱九年經營最重要嘅成果,唔單止係累計產量同用戶數量嘅增長,而係從印尼汽車市場嘅後來者,成長為能夠同日系品牌長期競爭、並喺新能源領域形成差異化優勢嘅本地參與者。作為上汽集團喺東南亞市場嘅重要支點,五菱喺印尼積累嘅製造、渠道同用戶基礎,亦為集團繼續深耕當地市場提供咗支撐。
Aira ev 能夠喺上市前完成本地生產同經銷商鋪貨,上市後隨即啟動交付,正係呢套體系發揮作用嘅直接體現。

從 Air ev 到 Aira ev
先發優勢正變成產品體系
五菱從日系品牌手中爭取市場份額,真正形成突破嘅領域係新能源。
2022 年,Air ev 喺印尼上市,以緊湊尺寸、城市代步同較低使用成本,率先打開當地小型純電動車市場。截至 2024 年 7 月,五菱電動車喺印尼累計銷量超過 2 萬輛;五菱同時披露,2024 年 1—6 月,Air ev、BinguoEV 同 Cloud EV 組成嘅純電產品組合取得 52% 嘅當地電動車市場份額,五菱成為當時印尼銷量第一嘅電動車品牌。
Air ev 唔單止帶來銷量,亦幫助五菱完成咗早期市場教育。喺印尼純電動車選擇仍然有限時,五菱率先證明,細細個、適合城市通勤嘅電動車能夠形成規模需求,亦令當地消費者逐漸建立起對中國電動車同本地生產純電車型嘅認知。
隨著 BYD、Jaecoo、吉利同奇瑞等品牌加速進入,印尼新能源市場已經從少數品牌開拓,轉向產品、價格、渠道同服務嘅綜合競爭。2026 年 1 月至 4 月,五菱批發銷量為 5178 輛,喺印尼中國汽車品牌中位列第三,僅次於 BYD 同 Jaecoo,高於吉利、奇瑞同廣汽埃安,仍處於當地中國品牌第一梯隊。
五菱嘅競爭方式亦隨之改變。早期依靠 Air ev 切入小型純電市場,而家則通過唔同尺寸、價格同能源形式嘅車型擴大覆蓋範圍。Air ev 同 Aira ev 面向城市小型純電市場,BinguoEV 同 Cloud EV 向空間同舒適性需求延伸,Darion 進入新能源家庭 MPV 市場,Eksion 覆蓋 SUV 同生活方式需求,Mitra EV、Formo 同 Formo Max 則面向商業場景。
呢套產品組合令五菱嘅優勢唔再局限於“更早推出一款電動車”。當新嘅細分需求出現時,五菱可以從現有產品同技術體系中尋找對應產品,再利用本地工廠同渠道快速完成導入。Air ev 幫助五菱獲得咗新能源先發位置,後續產品矩陣則將呢種優勢轉化為持續經營市場嘅能力。
Aira ev 就係其中最新嘅一步。
新車採用第五代宏光 MINIEV 嘅平台同技術體系,並針對印尼市場調整方向盤位置、內飾顏色同充電接口,其中充電接口由中國市場嘅 GB/T 標準改為當地使用嘅 CCS2 標準。成熟平台控制咗開發同製造成本,本地適配則令產品更快進入市場。
更關鍵係價格。五菱此前希望將 Aira ev 售價控制在 2 億印尼盾以內,最終 1.55 億印尼盾嘅起售價明顯低於呢一目標。標準續航版負責降低購買門檻,長續航版擴大使用半徑,四門設計則補上 Air ev 喺後排便利性上嘅短板空位。
喺小型純電市場從空白走向擁擠之後,五菱冇簡單依靠 Air ev 減價,而係利用成熟嘅小型純電產品體系,推出一款價格更低、四門更實用嘅新車,重新擴大市場覆蓋範圍。Aira ev 既要爭取此前唔接受兩門車型嘅城市用戶,亦要吸引對價格敏感嘅首次購車人群,同埋原本準備購買同價位燃油車嘅消費者。
上市同交付同步推進,則令五菱能夠迅速參與市場競爭。Aira ev 由芝卡朗工廠本地生產,車輛喺上市前已經發往經銷商,長續航版上市後可以实现符合條件嘅消費者當天提车。產品、製造同渠道同時啟動,體現嘅正係五菱九年積累形成嘅體系效率。

從本地製造到本地經營
五菱進入下一階段
五菱喺印尼長期使用“Wuling Dibangun di Indonesia Untuk Anda”呢一理念,可理解為“喺印尼製造,為當地用戶而來”。過去九年,五菱已经完成咗整車生產、電池組裝、渠道建設、用戶積累同出口布局。
但本地製造只係上汽 Glocal 戰略落地嘅第一步。真正決定競爭力嘅,係能否利用上汽喺產品、技術同供應鏈上嘅全球資源,結合當地消費者嘅價格承受能力、道路環境同使用場景,持續推出新嘅產品。
Aira ev 正係呢一模式嘅具體體現。佢繼承第五代宏光 MINIEV 嘅成熟平台,喺印尼完成右舵、充電標準同配置適配,由芝卡朗工廠生產,再通過現有經銷商網絡完成銷售同交付。五菱官方仲提到,Aira ev 融入咗印尼年輕員工嘅創意同投入,當地團隊已經參與到產品落地過程中。
全球平台解決產品成熟度同成本問題,本土化嘅體系負責將產品變成適合當地市場嘅版本。對上汽而言,Glocal 並唔係將國內車型簡單複製到海外,亦唔係只在當地建立生產基地,而係讓全球技術同產品資源通過本地團隊、工廠同渠道,最終轉化為當地消費者能夠接受嘅產品。
九年前,五菱需要證明中國品牌能夠喺印尼生產同銷售汽車;Air ev 上市後,佢證明咗中國品牌能夠率先打開當地純電市場。今日,Aira ev 需要證明嘅,係五菱九年形成嘅製造、渠道、用戶同產品體系,能否繼續轉化為對新需求嘅判斷同響應能力。
五菱喺印尼嘅競爭力,已經唔止係比後來者早入幾年,亦唔止係一款曾經領先嘅產品。更加重要係,當市場需求同競爭格局發生變化時,佢已經能夠依托上汽 Glocal 戰略提供嘅產品同技術基礎,以及自身喺當地建立嘅經營體系,迅速推出新產品,並將其實際交到消費者手中。

GAC's emphasis on users warms our hearts as car owners.
On July 16, at the GAC Group 30 million users gratitude event site, Kungfu Auto met a GAC Trumpchi owner named Gong Ping attending the event.
This long-time GAC owner has long transcended the boundaries of a car as a mere commuting tool. It is a public welfare commuter car travelling between Yingde mountainous areas, carrying books and supplies along winding country roads; it is a mobile emergency station on standby, equipped with an AED, and with his EMT certification, he always aims to help strangers in critical moments; and it is even a witness of a decade of trust — from downpaying for the Trumpchi GS8 in 2016 within 15 minutes to currently trading in for the Trumpchi M8 Master and deciding instantly.

GAC owner Gong Ping with his Trumpchi M8 Master
GAC cars have long been his reliable old partner in life.
As a member of the 30 million GAC users, Gong Ping's story is simple yet warm. When talking about GAC's cumulative user breakthrough of 30 million, his tone carried the certainty typical of a long-time owner: "It is an honor to be one of GAC's 30 million owners. In these years, I have not only witnessed GAC's development but also personally felt the continuous progress of their products and services."

GAC's 30 millionth complete vehicle — Right-hand drive GAC Trumpchi M8 PHEV rolls off the production line
During a 10-year car ownership life, two details are etched in his memory to this day. One was a rainy season when Dragon Boat waters raged; he drove through a low-lying section, with water reaching half the wheel height. Two private cars behind him stalled one after another, but his Trumpchi drove steadily through. "Maybe I was lucky, but more importantly, it was about the vehicle's wading safety, high chassis, and wading depth." A casual sentence hid the deepest recognition of quality. Another time was when he couldn't take time for routine maintenance at the 4S dealer; a single phone call resulted in staff coming to pick up the car, doing the maintenance, and returning it clean to the downstairs area. "The service was thoughtful and considerate. I believe this is exactly the core reason GAC could win the trust of 30 million users."
Asked if he was afraid the AED in the car would be damaged by breaking the window in an emergency, he answered simply and frankly: "I don't worry about breaking the window; windows can be replaced with money, but life only has one chance." He has even proposed suggestions to the manufacturer and 4S dealers, hoping to build a network for owner AED public welfare, issue exclusive badge logos, provide glass insurance support for owners equipped with AEDs, and encourage more owners to join willingly.
This is the true image of one in 30 million of GAC's users.

He is not a statistical number in a report, nor a "user persona" in a marketing report, but a companion with warmth, persistence, willing to meet the brand halfway. From the users' stories, Kungfu Auto clearly sees two sides of GAC crossing the 30 million milestone:
One side is "Change": Over a year of the Panyu Action, from organizational structure to service processes, from product logic to user communication, GAC's full link has iterated towards user thinking, transforming from "people building cars" to "people accompanying users with cars."
One side is "Constant": 29 years of quality faith, the original intention of "Quality Above All" has never wavered. Building reliable cars and safeguarding safety to the end, this persistence of long-termism has always been to not betray every user's trust.
One change, one adherence, the underlying logic has never shifted: Everything revolves around users, everything is for users.

GAC Group 30 Million Users Gratitude Event Site
On-site, Kungfu Auto found: "Users" have also become the loudest and most frequently mentioned keyword of the GAC 30 million event. Precisely because of "users", this event belonging to the industry quickly broke through the circle, becoming an event with industry height, user warmth, and communication heat.
(1) From "Engineers Building Cars" to "Users Defining Cars": The Reform of the Panyu Action Goes to the Core
Many say traditional car manufacturers find it hard to transform, difficult because big ships turn slowly, and traditional thinking is deeply rooted. But GAC, with the "Panyu Action", proved that as long as users are placed in the core position, even a huge system can be turned around.
GAC Group moved its headquarters to Panyu, initiated unified operation of independent brands, and comprehensively launched three major battles of "User Needs, Product Value, Service Experience". This reform is a self-refresh starting from the underlying logic: completely breaking the one-way logic of "Engineers feeling users should want what", and turning "what users truly want" into the center of all work.

This change is most intuitively reflected in user voices reaching decision-makers directly. GAC implemented the "User All-on-Mic" mechanism simultaneously across Trumpchi, Aion, and Hyper three brands. GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya, GAC Group General Manager He Xianqing personally stepped forward. R&D heads and product heads sat directly opposite users, listening to the most real car usage complaints and the most detailed functional requests, no need for layer-by-layer relay, no need for filtering processing; user pain points directly became the priority for product optimization.

GAC "User All-on-Mic" Event Site
More advanced than "Listening to Users" is "Doing Together with Users." GAC built a full-link, normalized user co-creation system. From early product planning and R&D testing to later marketing promotion and user operation, all links invite user participation. The past one-way logic of manufacturers building what and users buying what is turning into a two-way interaction where users want what and manufacturers optimize what. Users have also transformed from simple product users into brand value co-creators.
Changes at the product end are also visible to the naked eye. Qijing GT7 targets the aesthetic and functional needs of new generations for high-end smart shooting wagons; starting level is full-spec, gaining high popularity upon launch. Aion N60 directly downshifted LiDAR + 4D Millimeter Wave Radar to the 100,000 price point market, standardly configuring 27 high-value features, allowing young people not to compromise on intelligence. Trumpchi M8 series deep-dives into the comfort needs of family and business users, leading the Chinese luxury MPV market for 72 consecutive months. The explosion of every product is essentially the precise implementation of user needs.
At the channel level, borrowing the tailwind of new energy vehicles entering rural areas, GAC accelerates channel sinking, planning to add construction of 1,000 county-level authorized stores by the end of the year. By the end of June, 600 outlets have been certified, delivering convenient viewing and maintenance services to users' doorsteps. At the charging level, targeting the charging pain points most anxious for new energy users, a "9 Vertical, 10 Horizontal" charging network has been built, covering 213 cities nationwide, with self-operated charging piles exceeding 27,000, achieving "a station within 1 km in central urban areas". At the online service level, "Super Butler" is online 24 hours, committing to 5-second response, 2-hour problem resolution; user requests do not need repeated transfer, reaching fast handling directly.
True user thinking is sometimes this simple and direct: if users fear something, solve it; if users want something, give it to them.
(2) Slow Kungfu in a Fast Era: Quality Persistence, the Longest Promise Given to Users
In the current industry context of competing on price, speed, and marketing, GAC's "stupidest" yet most hardcore bottom card has always been quality. If the iteration of user thinking is GAC's "changing with the trend", then the ultimate persistence on quality is the never-wavered "adhering to righteousness".
Gong Ping's Trumpchi that drove steadily through the flooded road section is precisely the daily footnote of this quality persistence. In GAC's positive development system, such extreme scenarios have already been repeatedly verified countless times before new car launch.

GAC insists on a complete V-shaped product development process, building a complete test and verification system covering whole vehicles, systems, and components. Every new car development must experience at least "Two Winters, One Summer" of extreme environment verification, with the shortest cycle of 18 months, and the conventional stable cycle as long as 21 months. While the industry is shouting "Fast" and compressing development cycles, GAC is still willing to spend time on verification links invisible to users.
Not only "Two Winters, One Summer", GAC also upgraded the traditional "Three Highs" test to a "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust" full environment assessment. 60°C Turpan high temperature, -40°C Hulunbuir extreme cold, high altitude, high humidity, high salt mist, mountainous complex road conditions, desert sand environment,全方位 limit polishing. Before every new car launch, it must undergo more than 500 engineers, over 1,000 days and nights, nearly 10,000 test verifications, covering all extreme scenarios users might encounter.
How detailed is this system? 12 verification main items for the whole vehicle, over 1,500 verification sub-items, over 3,000 enterprise technical standards, cumulatively leading or participating in over 100 national and industry standards. From whole vehicle structural safety to the torque of a single screw, there are clear standards and traceable data. The AI visual inspection system at the intelligent manufacturing end responds in milliseconds with millimeter-level accuracy, thousands of key fastening points have full data traceability for life, ensuring quality of every car is traceable.
In a fast era, slow Kungfu is the most valuable. In a noisy field, sincerity moves people most.
Users might never drive cars to extreme cold places or run to high-temperature deserts for exposure, but GAC must test these limit scenarios for them. In our view, Gong Ping's experience of steady passage in Dragon Boat waters must not be luck.

For users, the most intuitive quality security comes from the solid implementation of safety technology. Magazine Battery cumulative installation of 1.5 million vehicles, cumulative travel over 160 billion kilometers, maintaining a stable safety record. Star Spirit Safety Guardian System has served nearly 2 million users, cumulatively preventing potential accidents 6.28 million times. More rarely, GAC pioneered the "Three Liabilities" service commitment, extending quality assurance from the moment of delivery to the whole usage cycle: Battery three-electric problem spontaneous combustion liability, battery attenuation beyond limit liability, intelligent parking accident liability, turning quality confidence into real peace of mind for users.
By the end of 2025, GAC's cumulative independent R&D investment has exceeded 62 billion yuan, cumulative patent applications over 24,900 items. From Star Source Power to Star River Smart Cockpit, from Star Cruiser Body to Star Spirit Architecture 4.0, all technical investments ultimately land on the same goal: to make user travel more secure, more worry-free, and more comfortable.
(3) Putting Gratitude into Practice: Six Brands Link Up, Tangible Sincerity for Old and New Users
Many car manufacturers' milestone moments hold glittering star-studded press conferences and tell grand brand stories. But GAC's 30 million left the biggest sincerity to users. Six brands link up to launch full-scenario return benefits, putting gratitude into every user's real sensory experience.

GAC Group 30 Million Vehicles Roll-off · New Renewal Gratitude Season Officially Launched
From July 16 to August 31, GAC officially launches the "GAC 30 Million Vehicles Roll-off · New Renewal Gratitude Season" event. This is a full-cycle return action covering GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, GAC Trumpchi, GAC Aion, GAC Hyper, Qijing Automotive six passenger car brands, spanning new purchase, trade-in, additional purchase full scenarios, facing all-quantity users.
The most rare part of this gratitude season is that it is not a marketing campaign only staring at new users. New users have discounts to lower thresholds, old users have privileges to feel respect, welcoming new partners while not forgetting old friends. This "Old and New Same Care" logic exactly confirms GAC's "User Full Cycle Companion" positioning: Companionship is never for a moment, but for a lifetime.

At the same time, the event also broke the convention of single model roll-off, promoting multi-brand, multi-model roll-off simultaneously at each brand and overseas factories. Trumpchi M8 PHEV, Aion N60, Hyper S600, Qijing GT7, GAC Toyota BZ 7, GAC Honda P7, 6 models covering different market segments and different price ranges were shown simultaneously, both as a tribute to the 30 million milestone and providing richer choices for users with different needs.
In the eyes of old owners like Gong Ping, such activities are particularly meaningful. "When relatives and friends around me ask me for car buying recommendations, I will say choosing GAC is definitely not wrong." Good products plus real benefits make old owners willing to recommend proactively, making new users willing to try with confidence. The snowball effect of reputation is the brand's most precious asset. After the event launch, terminal heat continued to rise, both prying market increments and warming existing users, achieving a dual breakthrough of reputation and voice.
(4) Kungfu Verdict: Brands that Keep Users in Heart Will Never Be Betrayed by the Market
After chatting with Gong Ping, Kungfu Auto has always been thinking about one question: How heavy is the weight of the number 30 million?
It is 30 million heavy trusts, 30 million lives growing together with users.
In today's automobile industry elimination race accelerating, heat made by marketing will eventually fade, sales won by price wars are difficult to sustain. The only ones that can cross the cycle are always those enterprises that put users in the C-position and engrave quality into the bones.
Sales numbers will fluctuate, but the warmth felt by owners is what enables an enterprise to cross the cycle.
30 million is not the end, but the starting point of the next journey. On the road to the next million level, GAC will continue to change, changing out smarter products, more thoughtful services, broader global layout; and will also continue to remain unchanged, unchanged quality original intention, unchanged user stance, unchanged long-termism persistence.
Kungfu Auto always believes that a brand willing to sit down to listen to users, settle down to build good cars for users, and give real benefits to users deserves more trust.
