Core Viewpoint - The automotive industry is experiencing an intense competition with the introduction of "7-year ultra-low interest" car loans by companies like Tesla, NIO, and Xiaomi, alongside Nissan's "0 down payment, 8-year loan" scheme, reflecting the anxiety and strategic shifts in the market as the penetration rate of new energy vehicles exceeds 54% [1][3]. Group 1: Loan Offerings - Dongfeng Nissan has launched a "0 down payment, 8-year ultra-long low-interest loan" for its Tianlai model, with a total cost of approximately 140,000 yuan and a monthly payment of around 55 yuan [2]. - The 8-year loan option has been extended to all models in Dongfeng Nissan's lineup, with the lowest daily payment for the Xuan Yi model being 27 yuan [2]. - Other automotive companies, including Tesla, NIO, and Xiaopeng, have also begun offering similar long-term loan options, breaking away from the traditional 1 to 5-year loan terms [2][3].
