There is no consumer price: it is a robotaxi service vehicle, not sold to consumers. It is built on a 100% automotive-grade autonomous-driving kit designed for a 600,000-km product lifecycle, with bill-of-materials cost reduced about 70% versus prior generations, and is produced in partnership with Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (BAIC) and Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC).

Pony AI is NASDAQ-listed (PONY), which gives its disclosures a stronger public-company verification posture than private Chinese operators. It is a Chinese commercial-at-scale anchor of the robotaxi cluster.
