The post-subsidy prices of the four new variants fall in the range of 218,800-253,800 yuan ($32,134-$37,274). Notably, the new models expanded the αS from three trim levels to five, while lowering the starting price to 223,800 yuan ($32,868). Meanwhile, the αT lineup was expanded from four trim levels to five, with its starting price lowered to 218,800 ($32,134).

The automaker also formulated several sales promotion schemes for consumers, including a zero-interest three-year payment plan of 150,000 yuan ($22,030), a maximum vehicle replacement subsidy of 15,000 yuan ($2,203), free charging piles, and lifetime warranty.

The four new trims feature the same range as the existing models with similar configurations. However, despite the price drop, the new variants offer improved experience in electric motor performance and battery energy capacity. 

Specifically, the electric motor can churn out a maximum power of 175kW versus the previous 160kW, with a 360 N·m peak torque. Meanwhile, the new 183.3Wh/kg high-energy-density battery pack enables a longer range.
