On April 19th, Wuling responded to the recent topic of Zhou Hongyi selling his Maybach 600 to purchase a domestically produced smart-connected new energy vehicle, sparking heated discussion among netizens and the industry.
Regarding the recommended car model by netizens, Zhou Hongyi previously stated that the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is a good car, but advised against recommending it to him due to the small space inside. He emphasized his concern for car space.
Tonight, Wuling Motors responded to the incident with an official statement. A video released by Wuling Motors shows:
A Wuling Sunshine minivan was caught by traffic police for overcrowding. Upon inspection at the scene, it was found that a total of 23 people were crammed into the van.
Wuling Motors directly addressed Zhou Hongyi, asking, "Is the space in Wuling vehicles really that small?" At the same time, they mentioned that a Wuling Hongguang was already on its way to the 360 headquarters.
It's reported that since Zhou Hongyi expressed his intention to sell his Maybach and switch to domestically-produced new energy vehicles, and after inviting manufacturers to provide test cars, several domestic automakers have begun to take action.
Yang Xueliang, vice president of Geely, recommended the Geely Jiuke 009 Brilliance to Zhou Hongyi; Yema Automobile plans to deliver the Yema 12 Sunshine Edition with "picture-less" intelligent driving system.
In response to these offers, Zhou Hongyi humorously remarked that with so many manufacturers offering cars, he feels like a mouse in a rice bin, unsure which one to choose.
