Li Xiang, Chairman and CEO of Li Auto, posted on his social media account stating, "History has shown that collaborators are often more despicable than the occupiers, and the automotive industry is no exception." This statement is widely interpreted as a direct criticism aimed at Dongfeng Nissan. The context involves recent online exposure by an automotive blogger of templated promotional content flooding the internet. The posts share a uniform title: "Thought It Would Be an Easy Choice, But After Test Driving the NX8 and i6, I'm Speechless..." These articles predominantly praise the Dongfeng Nissan NX8 while disparaging the Li Auto i6. Public information indicates that the Dongfeng Nissan NX8 is a mid-to-large five-seat SUV officially launched by Dongfeng Nissan in April this year. It offers both pure electric and extended-range powertrain options, positioning it as a direct competitor to the Li Auto i6.
