At present, although the influx of new brands has not yet significantly promoted the overall growth of the MPV market, there are still many highlights in the November sales list.
The former "god car" Baojun 730 did not make the list
"Four cars become three cars". In November, the Baojun 730 has fallen out of the top 15 list, and looking back at October, there are as many as four Models on the List of Wuling Series, namely Wuling Hongguang, Capgemini, Wuling Zhengcheng and Baojun 730. It can be seen that the current low-end MPV market is continuing to shrink, although the representative model Wuling Hongguang still ranks first in sales, but in recent months the data has declined by double digits continuously.

The association said that this year's domestic high-end business MPV to intelligent, networked, electric, ecological and other directions of development, 221 is the start of the high-end business sub-market of MPV manufacturers. In the future, the wind direction of MPV has shifted to large- and high-end, commercial and energy-saving.
Trumpchi, Mercedes-Benz and Chase all made the list on both sides
Contrary to the trend of the Wuling series, it is Trumpchi, Chase, Mercedes-Benz and other brands, the above brands have two models on the list in November and stable sales, of which Trumpchi M8 rose strongly throughout the year, November sales increased by 49.9% year-on-year to 7118 vehicles, 1-11 months, its cumulative sales increased by 124.2% year-on-year. In contrast, Trumpchi M6 has a slightly inferior growth rate, but it is also very high, ranking very high, and in November Trumpchi M8 and M6 ranked 3rd and 4th respectively.
Since the second half of 220, Mercedes-Benz's V-Class and Vito have begun to exert efforts and frequently appear on the list, and the two models have performed steadily this year, with cumulative sales of 18,049 and 14,459 units in the first 11 months, an increase of 20.6% and 11.0% year-on-year.

For Chase, it is not common for the two-car list, with the Chase G50 and G10 ranking 9th and 13th respectively in November, with G50 sales down 10.5% year-on-year to 2735 units and G10 down 0.4% to 1836 units.

Korean power MPV Kusway is on the list
Another highlight of the November list is the inclusion of the Korean car Hyundai Kus-tu. Since its listing in September, after two months of adapting to the market, Kustu rushed to the 12th position in the MPV sales list, which is enviable, with new cars priced at 169,800-218,800 yuan and 1,883 units sold in November.

Along with Kustu's "China Special Car", which was launched in September, there is also a "global model" that has long been tested by foreign markets- Kia Kahua, but the sales of the louder Kahua in November have not yet broken through.
However, it is foreseeable that the domestic high-end MPV market will become more and more lively in the future, and at the Guangzhou Auto Show held in November, new brands are still entering the game, such as Lantu's first MPV Dreamer officially listed, and Fengxing's first 7-seat family MPV yacht debut. At the same time, the "old players" in the MPV field seem to have launched new models, such as the new GAC Honda Odyssey, Roewe iMAX8 four-seat genesis version, kangaroo version, etc., Buick GL8 is a flagship concept car with a sense of science fiction, showing the MPV leader style.

With the liberalization of the three-child policy, the enthusiasm of car companies for the MPV market can be described as an increase, although the market is still delayed in ushering in the outbreak period, but from the perspective of the monthly trend of MPV this year, the overall market demand is rising, the Federation said that from June, the domestic MPV sales volume is rising, due to seasonal fluctuations in demand in the car market, the improvement of the awareness of self-protection of the epidemic, the stimulation of new products into the market, etc., it is expected that the sales volume of the MPV market in the fourth quarter will continue to rise.
