尊界 S800 上市:如何打破超豪华市场的刻板印象?
晚点LatePost· 2025-06-02 06:15
不拘传统,用创新科技塑造 "超豪华"。 任何产业向金字塔尖迈进,往往伴随着对既有格局的挑战与重塑。国产汽车进军超豪华市场,也是如 此。 2023 年 12 月,华为与江淮宣布,在此前四年合作的基础上建立全面战略合作伙伴关系,启动 "尊界" 品牌。双方随后设立尊界上海设计中心、组建超过 5000 人的专属研发与制造团队,并新建了专属工 厂。江汽集团董事长项兴初称,截至目前,该项目累计投入已逾百亿元。 在发布会次日举行的未来汽车先行者大会上,余承东说,尊界 S800 上市一小时,大定超过 1000 台, 其中售价 101.8 万元的最高配置订单占比达 70% 以上。 尊界 S800 的推出,得益于新能源浪潮下中国汽车产业在智能化和电动化领域的技术进步,同时也延 续了华为之前在消费电子领域的成功战略——通过洞察高端用户需求,以持续的研发投入构建技术壁 垒,将复杂的技术创新转化为简洁易用的用户价值,并围绕核心价值构建强大的品牌认同。 这一切背后所遵循的,依然是以技术创新驱动市场突破的底层逻辑。 科技与奢华融合,百万级豪华车市场的新叙事 作为鸿蒙智行进军百万级汽车市场的首款产品,尊界 S800 有像超豪华品牌那样 "传 ...
