The former has delivered over 15,000 units for two consecutive months while the latter has accumulated over 20,000 deliveries since its launch two months ago.

Li Auto fell short by just over four hundred vehicles compared to XPeng Motors and lost the title of being the top-selling new car maker after holding it for several months.

It is worth noting that due to factors such as the Spring Festival holiday,the monthly sales volumes of major emerging electric vehicle manufacturers generally showed a month-on-month decline compared to December last year. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers previously pointed out that there were 19 working days in January 2025，which was three days fewer than bothJanuary last year and December last year.The automobile industry usually starts its holiday early before the Spring Festival,hence the short effective production and sales time in January.
