"On the National Day, I was so busy that I didn’t even have time for lunch." The salesperson said that there were too many customers to see and test drive the car. Although the delivery time of the car has been extended, there are still many new customers willing to wait. "If you want to pick up the car earlier, it is recommended to make an order as soon as possible."

Intelligence becomes the focus of competition
On October 13, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers released a brief analysis of the production and sales of new energy vehicles in September 2023.
Data show that in September 2023, the production and sales of new energy vehicles were completed 879,000 and 904,000, respectively, an increase of 4.3% and 6.8%, respectively, an increase of 16.1% and 27.7% year-on-year. From January to September, the production and sales of new energy vehicles were completed 6.313 million and 6.278 million, respectively, an increase of 33.7% and 37.5% year-on-year.
In September 2023, among the main varieties of new energy vehicles, compared with the previous month, the output of pure electric vehicles decreased slightly and the sales volume increased slightly. The production and sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles increased by double digits, and the output of fuel cell vehicles increased rapidly and the sales volume decreased significantly. Compared with the same period of the previous year, the production and sales of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles increased to varying degrees, and the production and sales of fuel cell vehicles decreased significantly. From January to September 2023, among the main varieties of new energy vehicles, the production and sales of the three major categories of vehicles all increased by double digits compared with the same period of the previous year.
At present, intelligence has become the focus of competition for new energy vehicles.
"Connected and intelligent vehicles are increasingly being recognised by everyone, especially as assisted driving is becoming an important factor for consumers to consider when buying a car," said Xu Lin, rotating president of Cyrus Automotive.
Market analysis points out that after years of cultivation, China has the ability to lead the world in the field of automotive electrification. In recent years, our country’s automotive industry has made breakthroughs in high-performance on-board chips and intelligent driving systems, which has strongly promoted the improvement of the level of automotive intelligence. After electrification, intelligence is becoming the "second half" of competition. As the focus of user attention, intelligence will also become the focus of competition among car companies.
