In addition, Zhao Changjiang also pointed out that Teng Teng will seize some of the market segments in the hands of BBA, and strive to reach 15-20% of the market segment in the future.

In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car uses the "π-Motion" potential energy aesthetic design language similar to the Tengli D9, with a closed grille with flat headlights on both sides, which looks very sharp as a whole. In addition, the new car also offers double front face styling for consumers to choose from. The main difference between the two models lies in the LED daytime driving lights. One model uses LED daytime driving lights similar to boomerang style, which makes the new car more recognizable, while the other version uses two more concise LED light belts, which makes the visual effect more concise.

But unlike the Tengli D9, the new car adds an entertainment screen in the co-driver area and uses a stepped layout around it.

According to the data, Tengli was founded in 2010 and is 50% each owned by BYD and Mercedes-Benz. At the end of 2021, the two sides decided that BYD would take back 40% of Mercedes-Benz and operate independently. After the brand revived in May 2022, a series of "reforms" have taken place in the dominant position of the brand. At present, the two major shareholders of the brand are BYD and Daimler, which own 90% and 10% respectively. In short, the current strategic development of the trend is mainly led by BYD and supported by Mercedes-Benz. The "Tengli D9" is the first model after BYD dominates the brand, and it also becomes the first model to reverse the trend. The car was officially launched on August 23, positioning as a medium-and large-scale high-end MPV, with a total of DM-i super hybrid version and pure electric power options, priced between 32.98 and 459800 yuan.

For the follow-up product development, Tencent plans to launch seven new cars in the next three years. In addition to D9 and N7, it will also launch two SUV and three sedan products with a price range of 30-800000. Among them, the Tengli N8 will launch the Teng Teng N8 MAX version, with a wheelbase of 3 meters. As for the sales forecast of the Tengli N7, Zhao Changjiang said that the Teng Teng N7 wants to achieve monthly sales of 5000-10000 vehicles. According to the plan, it is expected to deliver about 3000 vehicles in July and 6000 in August, with monthly delivery stable at around 10, 000 in the fourth quarter of this year.
