The 3 series Li will be estimated at about 400-500k RMB depending on loadout. 5 series Li will be about 800k-900k RMB. That is why there is a 3 series Li, many people can't afford the 5 series.
There is no hierarchy with regard to cars in China. This is because pretty much everyone who drives a BMW owns their own business. You will probably not know any employees that can afford a 500k RMB car on a salary of 50-100k RMB. If you are an employee forget owning a luxury car in China.
Not even middle executives can afford this, but sometimes they get company owned cars.
