A Volkswagen joint venture in China has started offering official discounts as the price war in the Chinese auto industry continues.
SAIC-Volkswagen is offering limited-time discounts of up to RMB 50,000 yuan ($7,250) on its entire model lineup, the Volkswagen-SAC joint venture announced yesterday.
The offer has a deadline of April 30, and SAIC-Volkswagen plans to provide up to RMB 3.7 billion in subsidies for car purchases, according to a poster on its website.
The campaign involves 20 SAIC-Volkswagen models, the vast majority of which are conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, that can enjoy discounts ranging from RMB 15,000 to RMB 50,000.
The Volkswagen Phideon, with an official guide price of RMB 343,000 to RMB 449,000, received an RMB 50,000 discount, while most other models received discounts of RMB 25,000 to RMB 30,000.
SAIC-Volkswagen is offering discounts of RMB 20,000 for the ID.3 pure electric vehicle and RMB 30,000 for both the ID.4 X and ID.6 X.
In addition to the cash discounts, SAIC-Volkswagen is also offering trade-in benefits of up to RMB 12,000, as well as a zero-interest entitlement for 2-to-5-year loans.
One of the reasons SAIC-Volkswagen chose to cut prices is that the company is responding positively to China's policies as well as the consumer environment, sources at the automaker were quoted as saying in a report by Beijing News today.
On the other hand, SAIC-Volkswagen was able to get closer to consumers after the marketing changes and respond more quickly to consumer feedback, the source said.
Last week, both SAIC-Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen, another Volkswagen joint venture in China, began offering discounts of up to 40,000 yuan on ID. family models as the price war in China's auto industry intensified.
Volkswagen is one of the top car companies in China in terms of vehicle sales. SAIC-Volkswagen's retail sales in February were 74,013 units, down 7.7 percent from a year earlier, with a 5.3 percent share of the Chinese auto market, according to data released earlier this month by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
FAW-Volkswagen sold 110,511 units in February, up 5.3 percent year-on-year, with an 8 percent share in China.

The price war in China's auto industry continues, with Volkswagen becoming the latest to join in.
FAW-Volkswagen is offering discounts of up to RMB 40,000 yuan ($5,820) on the ID. family of models, with the lineup starting at as low as RMB 174,900 yuan, according to a poster posted on Weibo on March 11 by the Volkswagen joint venture in China.
This is to celebrate the second anniversary of the launch of the ID. family of models, according to the poster.
In addition to the discount, FAW-Volkswagen is offering consumers a free camping kit worth RMB 4,900.
FAW-Volkswagen's poster shows that these offers are for a limited time, but no expiration date is provided.
Currently, FAW-Volkswagen is selling the ID. series of ID.4 Crozz and ID.6 Crozz, two SUVs with suggested retail prices starting at RMB 217,900 and RMB 258,900 respectively.
In addition to FAW-Volkswagen, SAIC-Volkswagen, another Volkswagen joint venture in China, is also offering discounts for the ID. series EVs.
SAIC Volkswagen ID. series pure electric vehicles are offering discounts of up to RMB 30,000, and consumers can also receive up to RMB 10,000 worth of other benefits at dealership stores, according to a poster.
Like FAW-Volkswagen, SAIC-Volkswagen also offers the ID.4 series models, ID.4 X and ID.6 X, with suggested retail prices starting at RMB 195,888 and RMB 259,888, respectively.
In addition to the two ID. series models, SAIC Volkswagen also offers the compact ID.3 model with a suggested retail price starting at RMB 162,888.
Volkswagen had announced monthly sales of the ID. series EVs in late 2021 to early 2022, but then stopped publishing them.
FAW-Volkswagen's retail sales of NEVs in January-February were 9,572 units, down 8.3 percent from 10,442 units in the same period last year, according to a ranking released earlier this month by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). SAIC Volkswagen did not make it into the ranking of top sellers of NEVs in China.
FAW-Volkswagen's January-February retail sales of all vehicles were down 24.9 percent to 221,946 units, according to the CPCA. SAIC-Volkswagen's retail sales of all vehicles for the same period were down 29 percent to 154,631 units.
