Following Autohome's release of extreme range test results for new cars conducted on the Fifth Ring Road, doubts emerged among netizens. They contended that the test conditions were "tailor-made" and that the results were riddled with "hidden clauses." Furthermore, there was debate over whether temperatures ranging from 3°C to 13°C could truly be classified as winter testing conditions, with racing driver Chen Zhen dismissing it as a "so-called winter test." After Lei Jun shared these test results, he reacted to netizens' inquiries about "hidden clauses" with an emoji. Late in the evening on October 29, Autohome addressed these doubts, providing a detailed explanation of the test scenario from multiple angles. They disclosed specific test methodologies and data calculation techniques, and announced plans to conduct more comprehensive tests. Earlier, on October 23-24, Autohome carried out real-world tests on three car models, all of which achieved range completion rates significantly surpassing the industry's average benchmark. Moreover, Kataichi Holdings, a subsidiary of Haier Group, has made a strategic investment in Autohome. According to Autohome's financial results for the second quarter and mid-term of 2025, both net revenue and net profit for the second quarter showed a year-on-year decline.
