With less than 10 days to go, 2021 is coming to an end, and with the average sales performance of major manufacturers in the last few months, the dust will also settle on the top models of all levels. Today, CAR brother takes you to review the domestic SUV market situation 5 years ago, so that everyone knows how cruel the competition is.
The Haval H6 has established its absolute dominance in 2016, selling more than 580,000 vehicles a year, and even in 2015, the annual sales volume was more than the second place in 2016. Up to now, although the Haval H6 does not have nearly twenty configurations as it did in the past, the second and third generations of people sell in the same house, and there are collateral lines like H6S, and the strength goes up at once.
The Trumpchi GS4 of that year was still very capable of playing, the original value of the face value has reached the peak level at that time, coupled with the chassis control is also outstanding, so the haval H6, which soon became the second and chased the top of the list. It was not until the open fire after the crash test and the tearing and disintegration of the body caused by the speeding collision with the road divider that the sales of the Trumpchi GS4, which was in the limelight, suffered Waterloo. After the launch of the second-generation GS4, it has improved slightly, but it has not yet returned to its peak, and it is currently hovering around 20.
As for the 3rd place Baojun 560, it can be said that it is a big dark horse after trumpchi GS4, which has been given high hopes to impact the throne of Haval H6. Unfortunately, the lack of staying power, waiting for the automatic gear to improve the quality of life, but also dragged down by the iAMT semi-automatic transmission and the dual-clutch transmission with obvious frustration, compared with its own Baojun 510 and 530. Although it has been discontinued for several years, it can still encounter Baojun 560 in second- and third-tier cities.
Buick Encore, which was no. 4 that year, was also a strong joint venture medium-sized SUV, with the majestic design of the American SUV and the interior that looked quite classy, with the title of "Highlander Terminator", and soon after the listing, the Honda CR-V and Volkswagen Tiguan and other strength joint venture SUVs were cut off. At present, the Oncovey family has derived models such as the Oncovey S and the Oncovey PLUS, but the overall sales volume cannot go back to the peak of that year.
The VW Tiguan, which was no. 5 that year, was also one of the strongest, and embarked on the road of price increase sales with CR-V. Decent design, spacious and practical space and durable leather quality have made Tiguan brilliant for many years. Later, because the market competition gradually became fierce, the old Tiguan's own product strength was insufficient, and the replacement was also slower than the opponent. The new generation of Tiguan L after the extended treatment folded in the crash test, which also added uncertainty to the increase in Tiguan L sales, and this year's Tiguan L sales are also extremely unstable, occasionally in the top ten performance.
As for the 6th place Changan CS75 after undergoing "replacement", the launch of CS75 PLUS began to get better, ranking second in the sales version. The 7th-place Ruifeng S3 was slowly eliminated due to its own body corrosion, weak product strength and fierce market competition. The 8th Haval H2 has a large overlap with its own M6, which has a larger space size, so the H2 is also discontinued due to the manufacturer's adjustment strategy. The 9th-place Honda CR-V has maintained a good competitiveness after undergoing replacements and rebrandings, and can often be seen in the top ten sales. The 10th nissan X-Trail, which was also a large mobile sofa that was also built and fuel-efficient, after undergoing a replacement of the entire series of 3-cylinder turbo engines this year, sales plummeted, and recently resurrected the previous generation of X-Trail, and sold in the same generation as X-Trail and glory.
The 11th-ranked Hyundai Touring was also a small fresh meat, with a younger and sportier look than the mature ix35, but after the THAAD incident, sales of the entire Korean series have declined, and in November this year, Touring's sales slipped to 70 outside. Changan CS35, which was 12th in that year, like the big brother CS75, launched the CS35 PLUS model after completing the "replacement", and the strength increased but did not counterattack, ranking 89th last month. The next three Japanese players with similar positioning are still in similar positions and have steadily entered the top 15.
Back this year, in addition to some of the above models in the top 15 of the SUV sales list, strong independent brand SUVs such as Chery Tiggo 8 and BYD Song have been added, as well as strong "foreign enemies" such as Tesla Model Y. If you want to get a piece of the cake of the SUV, in addition to working your own product strength, you must also keep up with the trend of the times.
