Uncle Che summed up
Although sales of most of the MPV models on the list declined year-on-year in November, cumulative sales from January to November this year reached 982,000 units, up 3.1% year-on-year. Compared with the sedan and SUV markets, the MPV market has relatively few models to choose from, but with the recent listing of new cars such as Hyundai Kustu, Toyota Xena and Kia Kahua, coupled with the peak period for consumers to choose and buy cars before the Spring Festival, I believe that the market is still good in December. In 2021, there is less than a month to go, how the MPV market will change, let's look forward to it together.
