0926 GMT - XPeng's G7 model is expected to sell around 8,000 to 10,000 units per month, Citi analysts write in a note. The company launched the mid-size SUV G7 last week, with prices ranging from CNY195,800 to CNY225,800. The model received over 10,000 non-refundable orders within nine minutes of its launch. Citi notes that investors should monitor the G7's order growth trend at a later stage, they say. The performance of the G7 model is likely to be middle-of-the-road, as its size is smaller than Xiaomi's YU7 and it comes only in a two-wheel drive with a maximum of 296 horsepower, significantly lower than Zeekr's 7X model. The G7's main selling point lies in its autonomous driving features and smart cockpit, Citi says, though these are unlikely to make it as popular as Xiaomi's YU7.
