▪ Competitor analysis
There are not many two-box models on the market today, and even fewer pure electric two-box cars. Therefore, in addition to the Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4 X series models, those that can compete with the Corsair 06GT are medium-sized three-box sedans with sporty features, such as the Deep Blue L07 and the RWD D7. The Corsair 06GT still has an advantage in terms of brand influence, and with its current unique two-box pure electric model, it has few rivals in this market segment.
