Shenlan, Changan Automobile's new energy vehicle (NEV) brand, is offering consumers tens of thousands of yuan in incentives to purchase vehicles as the auto price war in China continues.
Shenlan, based in the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing, announced today that it is offering discounts of up to 42,000 yuan ($6,030) on vehicle purchases.
The offer includes an RMB 22,000 cash subsidy and up to RMB 20,000 in option benefits.
The subsidy is valid from March 10 to March 31 and is limited to 10,000 units.
Shenlan, Changan's NEV brand announced in 2022, officially launched the Shenlan SL03 electric sedan on July 25, another strong competitor to the Model 3.
Unlike the Tesla Model 3, the Shenlan SL03 is available in three powertrain variants -- an all-electric version, an extended-range version and a version with a hydrogen fuel cell.
The Shenlan SL03 BEV currently has a starting price of RMB 189,900, lower than the Model 3's starting price of RMB 229,900 in China, and the SL03 EREV starts at RMB 171,900.
Shenlan began deliveries of the SL03 at the end of August 2022 and has delivered a total of 37,328 units as of the end of February this year, including 4,103 units last month.
On March 5, Shenlan officially unveiled its second model, the Shenlan S7, a model similar to the Tesla Model Y crossover, in Shanghai.
In addition to the Shenlan brand, Changan is offering car purchase incentives for its other sub-brands.
Changan announced yesterday that for consumers who buy any of its passenger cars and get a delivery this month, they will receive a coupon for thousands of yuan.

XPeng offers four versions of the P7i with a starting price of RMB 249,900, above the RMB 229,900 for the Tesla Model 3.

XPeng (NYSE: XPEV) today officially launched the P7i, a revamped version of its flagship sedan P7, in China in just four versions to avoid a repeat of the confusion caused by the flagship SUV G9's initial launch last September.
The company's WeChat post announcing the P7i's launch clearly lists the sedan's available variants and their corresponding prices, as well as the benefits the company is offering consumers.
The XPeng P7i is available in four versions -- 702 Pro, 702 Max, 610 Max Performance, and 610 Wing Edition -- with starting prices of RMB 249,900 ($35,890), RMB 269,900, RMB 289,900, and RMB 339,900, respectively.
This is higher than the Model 3 sedan's starting price of RMB 229,900 in China, although the Tesla model is only available in two versions in China, with the other version starting at RMB 329,900.
Consumers who reserve the XPeng P7i by April 30 will receive four years of free charging, up to 1,500 kWh per year, and they will also receive a free Dynaudio upgrade valued at RMB 6,000.
The model's show cars and vehicles for test drives are currently available at XPeng's experience centers, a tightly scheduled rhythm that differs from its previous approach.
The XPeng P7i will continue to be built on the regular 400 V platform, rather than the 800 V high-voltage platform used by the G9.
However, the P7i's maximum charging power has been increased from its predecessor's 90 kW to 175 kW, allowing it to charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in 29 minutes.
The Pro version of the XPeng P7i comes standard with one Nvidia Orin-X smart driving chip with 254 TOPS of computing power. The Max version of the model comes standard with two Orin-X chips as well as two LiDARs.
CnEVPost got an early look at the model at the end of January and learned from the event at the time that the P7i's LiDARs are set near the headlights as in the XPeng G9, and the supplier is RoboSense as in the G9.
The chip driving the in-car infotainment system in the XPeng P7i has been upgraded from the P7's Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A chip to the Snapdragon SA8155P.
The number in the model's name represents the CLTC range, which tops at 702 km.
The two versions of the XPeng P7i with a range of 702 kilometers are rear-drive single-motor, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 6.4 seconds. Its two versions with a range of 610 km are dual-motor four-wheel drive models and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.
For XPeng, the P7i will be the model that will be crucial to boosting sales.
The P7i's predecessor, the P7, was the XPeng's main seller for a long time, selling 59,066 units in 2022, contributing 49 percent of the XPeng's annual sales of 120,757 units, data monitored by CnEVPost show.
Notably, the XPeng P7i's launch comes at a delicate point in time, with Chinese car companies -- both internal combustion engine automakers and new energy vehicle (NEV) makers -- engaged in an unprecedented price war.
On January 6, Tesla sharply lowered the prices of all its China-made models in an attempt to boost demand for its electric vehicles in China, becoming the first automaker to publicly cut prices in the country.
On January 17, XPeng lowered the prices of all models except the G9, with the P7 receiving the largest price cut. After that, a number of other NEV makers also started to reduce prices or offer purchase discounts.
Prior to this month, it was mainly NEV makers that were openly offering price cuts and purchase incentives, but earlier this month, authorities in central China's Hubei province joined forces with a number of local car companies to offer subsidies, with some models offering subsidies of up to RMB 90,000.
BYD also announced yesterday that consumers who order the BYD Song Plus lineup from March 10 to March 31 will receive an RMB 6,800 discount, or RMB 8,800 for the Seal.
While these purchase offers appear to be temporary promotions by car companies, they reflect the overall pressure the Chinese auto industry is currently facing and are bound to allow the impact to be magnified as more brands participate.

As the price war intensifies in China's auto industry, BYD has also started offering discounts for its two models, even though the official prices remain unchanged.
Starting tomorrow, consumers who order BYD's Song Plus lineup can get a discount of RMB 6,800 ($980), or RMB 8,800 for the Seal, according to a BYD Weibo post today.
This is a limited-time marketing campaign valid from March 10 to March 31, BYD said.
BYD did not provide more details, but the Song family, as well as the Seal, are among its best-selling models.
BYD sold 193,655 new energy vehicles (NEVs) in February, including 191,664 passenger cars and 1,991 commercial vehicles, the company said in figures released on March 1.
Song family models sold 52,400 units in February, BYD's highest sales in the month, contributing 27 percent of all its passenger car sales.
Song family models include the hybrid Song Pro and Song Max, both of which are part of BYD's Dynasty lineup.
The family also includes the hybrid Song Plus DM-i and the all-electric Song Plus EV, which are part of BYD's Ocean series.
BYD announced today that the offer is limited to these two Song models in the Ocean series, as well as the Seal.
BYD's Seal sold 7,754 units in February, which was up 17.17 percent from 5,043 units in January. The model went on sale on July 29, 2022.
Since the end of last year, several EV makers have cut prices, including Tesla and XPeng (NYSE: XPEV).
Earlier this month, authorities in central China's Hubei province joined forces with a number of local car companies to offer subsidies for consumers to purchase vehicles, with some models offering subsidies of up to RMB 90,000, marking the open entry of fuel models into the price war.
The first to participate are the Dongfeng Motor family of brands, including Dongfeng Honda, Dongfeng Nissan, Dongfeng Citroen, Dongfeng Peugeot and Dongfeng Aeolus, with the Dongfeng Citroen C6 offering a combined subsidy of up to RMB 90,000.
