在具体的场景中,看见真实的人、车和生活。 汽车行业日益残酷的销量竞赛浓缩在 2025 年的上海车展:这里聚集了约 100 款新车、1000 家公司。 车企请明星、发礼物或者让机器人现场表演,希望争夺更多关注和订单。 一些车企调整了传播策略,除了讲技术、做对比,也更重视从用户视角展示体验,有的车企直接将行 李箱、滑板或高尔夫球包放进后备箱、证明空间足够或者为儿童乘客设计了调节高度的空调出风口。 为了展示多人出行时怎么放行李,一位 CEO 直接坐在了前备箱里表演钓鱼。 新车密集上市,但用户注意力有限,所有车企都希望比对手更快接近、更早说服用户——关键前提是 找准核心用户,理解他们是什么样的人。 车逐渐承载了人们对理想生活的投射,所有的性能、参数和品质最终落在每一个人的具体生活。一些 用户把车当作 "移动的家",要带父母孩子周末出行,在乎舒适性、娱乐性,也有用户短途出差频繁, 常需要车内办公、开会,所以车内最好有小桌板、也要够静谧。 关键是聚集丰富的创作者。汽车博主分享测评、对比或改装经验,普通用户讲真实体验,这里还吸引 了了大多数中国汽车公司的销售、工程师、产品经理和 CEO。他们在摸索更适宜小红书的表达,解释 ...

智驾宣传急刹车,有厂商连夜改传播物料丨2025 上海车展
晚点Auto· 2025-04-24 01:19
此前,智能驾驶之所以在市场宣传层面过于激进,和中国汽车市场的销量竞赛直接相关。为了说服消 费者买车,车企的市场部门和一线销售人员都有动力强调自家智能驾驶技术的先进性。 随着工信部等监管部门从官方层面收紧对于智能驾驶的宣传口径,风向大调整。一些平时耳熟能详的 词语忽然从车企和智驾供应商的物料上消失,"安全" 成为大多数厂商在市场营销层面的关键词 —— 这些在 2025 年上海车展上体现得淋漓尽致。 智驾普遍成 "辅助驾驶", "安全" 成宣传关键词 工信部监管新规发布后,"安全" "辅助驾驶" 成为车展智驾宣传关键词。 文 丨 赵宇 郭瑞婵 曾兴 魏冰 编辑 丨 龚方毅 像往届上海车展一样,在本届车展媒体日第一天最早举办发布会的车企,依旧是 "本土作战" 的上汽集 团。上汽集团总裁贾健旭说,上汽要 "All in 尚界",并得到华为终端 BG 董事长余承东的到场支持。 但这一次,余承东全程没有提及智能驾驶,只说尚界的第一款车为了加强被动安全,研发团队把车身 质量增加了 100 多公斤。 前一天晚上,华为与央视新闻共同举办了一场智能技术大会。会上,华为车 BU CEO 靳玉志宣布推出 ADS 4 方案,称其已在云 ...
对谈理想汽车汤靖:要有产品定力,让喜欢 MEGA 的人更喜欢
晚点Auto· 2025-04-22 15:52
当敢和李想博弈的人将精力放在建设流程和体系中,而不是全力以赴为自己心中的产品而战时,李想 自然成为了产品的天花板。 这是去年 MEGA 上市前理想的内部状态之一。理想汽车第一产品线总裁汤靖对我们说,当时 MEGA 产品团队成员背景优秀,但没有跟李想一起打过胜仗,缺少对他说 "不" 的底气。 而打过胜仗的 "老前辈" 被调去负责组织建设、无暇顾及产品细节,导致了之后的种种争议,比如理想 L9 配了零重力座椅、电吸门却缺席旗舰车款。 在空间更大的 MEGA 上延续 L 系列的设计,让对理想 旗舰有更多期待的潜在用户感到失望。 在 2025 年 4 月 23 日开幕的上海国际车展上, 理想汽车将推出 MEGA Home 家庭特别版 —— 李想 说这是 "一个带大客厅的移动空间"。 敢和李想 battle 的人,回来重新 "装修" 了 MEGA。 文 丨 王笑渔 编辑 丨 龚方毅 去年理想调整组织架构,将车型产品开发团队和产品商业团队合并成 "产品线",并按价格带划分三个产品 线。汤靖负责售价 40 万元以上的第一产品线。 MEGA Home 内饰。(左右滑动查看) 汤靖主导了 MEGA Home 家庭特别版的开发, ...
蔚来李斌、金舸:萤火虫永远瞄着 MINI,不会让销量躺平,但也不那么卷

萤火虫总裁金舸说,销量是水到渠成的事情,短期更关注首批车辆的试驾反馈和用户满意度。 文 丨 龚方毅 赵宇 编辑 丨 龚方毅 上海车展开始前夕,蔚来旗下萤火虫品牌正式发布首款新车售价,11.98 万元的起售价较此前预售价 低 20% 左右。发布会次日(4 月 20 日),萤火虫在位于上海中心的蔚来中心举行小范围沟通会,蔚 来董事长李斌和 firefly 萤火虫总裁金舸出席。 沟通会主要聚焦萤火虫,但两位高管还是借这个机会对外释放公司近期更务实的变化,比如李斌说发 布会取消了原来想做的品牌示范站、沟通会选在蔚来中心而不是租酒店会议室等。"咱们现在变得比较 务实,就不搞那些花活了。" 李斌说。 去年蔚来净亏 224 亿元。李斌在今年 3 月的业绩会上还提醒市场,因为乐道还在投入期,今年一季度 现金流将继续承压。为了减轻外界对于第三品牌拖累运营效率的质疑,李斌和金舸介绍了三个品牌在 销售渠道、销售人员、研发方面的资源复用,意在传递轻量化运营、管控成本支出的信号。 提问 :从 14.88 万到 11.98 万,这中间经历过什么,最后是怎么定出来的价格? 围绕萤火虫的问答主要集中在定价选择、品牌定位、市场战略等。 大概受 ...
