Neta Auto, the electric vehicle (EV) brand of Hozon Auto, has begun deliveries of its electric sports car Neta GT, less than a month after the model's official launch, to capitalize on the initial hype.

Neta held a delivery ceremony in Shanghai on May 13 to deliver the first Neta GT EVs to owners, it announced on May 14.

Notably, the two-door, four-seat Neta GT electric sports car was only officially launched on the first day of the Shanghai auto show on April 18, with starting prices of RMB 178,800 ($25,700) to 227,800.

Neta's move to have the Neta GT begin deliveries within a month of its launch demonstrates the desire of EV makers to capture initial consumer enthusiasm and avoid losing potential orders in the increasingly competitive Chinese EV market.

The fact that Neta GT deliveries began shortly after launch validates the company's comprehensive strengths in vehicle development and design, manufacturing, and channel building, Neta said.

Neta has been seen as a budget EV maker since its inception, as its vehicles are priced primarily at the lower end of the market, with previous mainstay models Neta V and Neta U priced at around RMB 100,000 to RMB 150,000 in China.

The Neta S is Neta's first effort in the high-end market, priced at around RMB 300,000, and the launch of the Neta GT is expected to further start changing the brand's low-end perception among consumers.

The Neta GT is Neta's second model based on the Shanhai platform after the flagship sedan Neta S. It measures 4,715 mm in length, 1,979 mm in width and 1,415 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,770 mm.

The Neta GT is available in single-motor and dual-motor versions, with the single-motor version having a maximum motor power of 170 kW and the dual-motor version having a maximum total power of 340 kW.

The car's battery pack is available in three options -- 64.24 kWh, 74.48 kWh and 77.9 kWh -- and the CLTC range includes three versions -- 560 km, 580 km and 660 km.

In addition to the Neta GT, Neta also gave a debut to a model called Neta GT Speedster, a convertible based on the Neta GT, at the Shanghai auto show.

The Neta V and Neta U are priced in China at around 100,000 yuan ($14,390) to 150,000 yuan. The company is looking to enter the higher end of the market in China with the higher-priced Neta S flagship sedan.

Prior to entering Malaysia, Neta's efforts in Southeast Asia were focused on Thailand.

On August 24, 2022, the right-hand drive version of the Neta V was launched in Thailand, its first model offered there.

On March 10 this year, Neta laid the foundation stone for its plant in Bangkok, Thailand, which will be its main manufacturing base for building right-hand-drive EVs for export to ASEAN.

The plant, Neta's first overseas plant, will have a capacity of 20,000 units/year when completed and is expected to be operational by the end of January 2024.

Neta plans to expand its overseas business to more regions such as the Middle East and the European Union, making it a brand recognized and trusted by consumers around the world, said Zhang Yong, co-founder and CEO of the company, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Thai plant.

To date, Neta already has a European division, a Thai subsidiary and has launched three products for overseas markets, including the Neta V right-hand drive version, it said in the press release yesterday.

Neta delivered 11,080 vehicles in April, which was up 25.72 percent from 8,813 units in the same month last year and up 9.84 percent from 10,087 units in March, the company announced on May 1.

The flagship Neta S delivered 2,237 units in April, up 1.41 percent from 2,206 units in March, according to the company.

Neta has a sales target of 300,000 units in 2023, local media China Securities Journal reported on February 7.

The EV maker sold 152,073 units in 2022, up 118 percent year-on-year, including 3,456 units delivered overseas, according to data it previously announced.

Price cuts are tricky in China's electric vehicle (EV) market, as they can spark protests from existing owners. So, launching lower-priced versions based on existing models has become one option for EV makers that need to boost sales.

Neta Auto, the EV brand owned by Hozon Auto, today launched two new variants of its flagship sedan, the Neta S, bringing the model's starting price down by 13,000 yuan ($1,880) to under RMB 200,000.

The new variants -- the all-electric Neta S 520 Lite and Neta S 520 -- start at RMB 189,800 and RMB 199,800 respectively.

As a comparison, the least expensive version of the Neta S previously on sale was a model with extended-range technology, starting at RMB 202,800.

The lowest-priced version of the pure electric Neta S was previously available in a version with a CLTC range of 715 km, starting at RMB 248,800.

The Neta S 520 Lite and Neta S 520 both have a CLTC range of 520 km and use a lithium iron phosphate battery pack with a capacity of 64.46 kWh.

These lower-priced Neta S BEVs can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds.

For comparison, the least expensive Neta S BEV with a range of 715 km uses a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 84.50 kWh and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds.

The Neta S 520 Lite and Neta S 520 are also weaker than the previously available Neta S BEV in some other specifications, such as the absence of a hands-free power tailgate.

Neta has been considered a budget EV maker since its inception, as its vehicles are priced primarily at the lower end of the market, with the Neta V and Neta U priced at around RMB 100,000 to RMB 150,000.

The Neta S is its first effort at the premium end of the market, officially launched in China on July 31, 2022.

Neta delivered 11,080 vehicles in April, up 25.72 percent from 8,813 in the same month last year and up 9.84 percent from 10,087 in March, according to data released earlier this month.

Neta S delivered 2,237 units in April, up 1.41 percent from 2,206 units in March.

In January-April, Neta delivered 37,256 vehicles, down 4.39 percent from 38,965 in the same period last year.

NIO's weak performance may be because it is on the eve of multiple product switches, as it will begin deliveries of the new ET7, new ES6, EC7 in May and will begin deliveries of the new ES8 in June.
