"Are Chinese car brands really on the rise?"
I believe that for the majority of consumers, this is a common question. After all, China's auto industry has been developing for more than two decades, but the current market is still dominated by foreign brands, so that many people have doubtful views. It is undeniable that the overall level of Chinese brands is polarized, but it cannot be blinded by Taishan.
As the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are shining, and sales are the best evidence. The latest data show that the sales of chinese brands have surpassed many foreign brands, and the most popular one is an average of 2.5 vehicles sold every minute! So let's take a look at which brands are there, and what new cars are worth looking forward to in 2022?
If it is said that which Chinese brand is the TOP 1 in the hearts of consumers, then Geely believes that it will be the answer for many people, which is reflected in sales. According to the data, Geely Automobile will sell more than 1.328 million units in 2021, with an average of 2.5 units sold in 1 minute! And for five consecutive years, the production and sales exceeded one million vehicles, which is a well-deserved holder, and this is mainly due to its excellent product strength and multi-brand strategy.
Gilli Boyue
In terms of models, the Geely Boyue family is the biggest contributor, and its annual sales exceeded 220,000 vehicles. It was followed by Geely's "China Star" series, which included The Star-Yue L, Star-Etsu S, Star-Ray and other models, with annual sales of more than 210,000 units. The Emgrand family also performed well, selling more than 200,000 vehicles a year, and the sales performance of these models was even better than that of the Toyota Camry, which is known as the "Evergreen of the B-Class Car".
Lynk & Co 03+
The performance of the Lynk & Co brand is also eye-catching, with the stable performance of many models such as Lynk & Co 01 and 03, the brand's annual sales reached 220516 vehicles, which refreshed the brand's historical sales in one fell swoop, nearly 50,000 vehicles higher than Dongfeng Yueda Kia's 2021 sales, which fully proves that consumers now love Chinese brands.
Geometry A
In terms of new energy, Geely's sales in 2021 will be 100126 units, an increase of 47% year-on-year, which is mainly composed of Emgrand EV, Geometry A, Geometry C, And Extreme Kr 001 models.
And Geely in 2021 to open up a new southeast Asia, South America and other regional countries sales network, and the effect is also more significant, the annual achievement of 115008 export sales, an increase of 58% year-on-year, the facts prove that China's automobile exports can also be hot sales.
Hoshigoku L Thunder Divine Intelligence Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version
In the next 2022, Geely Automobile will also have a number of new products launched or listed, including a hybrid version of the Hoshikoshi L, a new geometric A, a new compact SUV with CMA architecture, and the first pure electric SUV of Lynk & Co. The professor can be said to be full of expectations.
Great Wall Motor's performance in 2021 is also more eye-catching, its annual sales reached 1.28 million units, an average of 2.4 vehicles sold per minute, and achieved a year-on-year increase of 15.24%, under the influence of the epidemic and lack of cores, it is naturally valuable to achieve such a good performance.
Haval H6
From a specific point of view, Great Wall Motors' brands have developed in a growth trend, of which the haval brand has accumulated sales of more than 770,000 vehicles, an increase of 2.64% year-on-year, while the Great Wall pickup truck models have also sold more than 230,000 vehicles. As in the past, the Haval H6 remains the biggest contributor, with annual sales of more than 370,000 units, ranking first in the list of SUV models. The difference is that the new models launched in 2021, such as Haval Big Dog, First Love, And Red Rabbit, have also contributed good results, and are no longer the situation of Haval H6 fighting alone.
Tank 300
However, the most surprising thing is the two young brands of Euler and Tank, the former with its extremely high cost performance, sold 135028 vehicles in 2021, achieving a year-on-year increase of 140%, almost double the sales of the Volkswagen ID. family, which is also pure electricity. The tank has achieved sales of 84,600 vehicles with only one tank 300, which is equivalent to four times the annual sales of GAC FCA, which is the main Jeep model.
Tank 500
It is worth mentioning that 2022 is still the big year of great wall motor new products, first of all, the Haval brand will have cool dog, H6 hybrid version, and Euler has prepared a ballet cat, lightning cat, WEY will have the first car dream, and finally the tank side will have a tank 500 hybrid version and a tank 400, etc., in terms of lineup, it is basically full coverage of all levels, combined with the completion of the past new products, it seems that it is still worth looking forward to.
Also belonging to the "domestic million sales club" is Changan Automobile, which sold more than 1.2 million new cars in 2021, an increase of 23.1% year-on-year. And because Changan Automobile Group is a big business, this refers to the annual sales of its Chinese passenger car brand, and does not include data on commercial vehicles and joint venture brands, if you count its other brands, then the sales volume will reach 2.3 million.
Changan CS75PLUS
Different from Geely and Great Wall, Changan Automobile's independent brand lineup is more concise, and its sales data composition is more from the distinction of models. Among them, the Changan CS75 series is the biggest contributor to millions of sales, with cumulative sales of 280,000 vehicles in the whole year, with an average of one sold every 1.8 minutes, fully demonstrating consumers' love for it.
Changan UNI-K
In addition, the CS55 series and the CS35 series also achieved good sales results last year, with 140,000 vehicles and 80,000 vehicles respectively, of which the former's sales volume has been nearly 40,000 more than the annual sales of DPCA. The annual sales of the UNI family in the high-end market also exceeded 120,000 vehicles, and the growing trend also reflects that consumers are still willing to use wallets to support good products.
Chang'an is moving
In addition to SUVs, Changan Yidong is also sought after by consumers as an entry-level sedan, selling more than 170,000 units in 2021, almost twice the sales of GUANGQI Honda Fit at the same price, and as of now, the cumulative sales of Changan Yiyi EMU have exceeded 1.2 million units.
Changan UNI-V
In addition, in terms of new products in 2022, I believe that the UNI-V that has begun to be booked will be the most anticipated model for the majority of consumers, after all, the positioning of the "civilian version A7" is enough to make people love. Not only that, the second-generation CS75PLUS of Changan's ace model will also be listed this year, and the successive addition of a number of new products will surely bring the sales volume of the Changan Automobile brand to a new height.
Facts have proved that in order to really impress consumers, it is still necessary to rely on hard power, and the three "million-level sales" Chinese brands in this inventory have their own core technologies, and have achieved a balance in price and positioning, which is more affordable and easy to use than joint ventures, who does not love it?
In addition to the three million-level sales members of this inventory, Chinese brands such as BYD, Chery, and SAIC Passenger Vehicle also have relatively bright results, and the development momentum is significantly better than that of most joint venture brands, which just proves that Chinese brands are indeed rising!
