The Association of Automobile Manufacturers released the December car sales data of the Chinese market, and the total retail sales of passenger cars in the narrow sense in China reached 2.105 million units, and the lack of core and the rise of the epidemic in many places fell by 7.9% year-on-year. However, looking closely at the results of various categories of models in December, there are still many surprises. It is mainly reflected in domestic brands, which are more and more progressive than in the past.
In the sedan sector, there are three domestic models with sales of more than 25,000 units, namely Hongguang MINI, Geely Emgrand, and BYD Qin PLUS.
Wuling Hongguang MINI: 2.88-48,600
December sales: 50,561 units up 42.9% yoy-y
Among them, the winner of the December sales championship was Wuling Hongguang MINI, which was unexpected and unexpected. Expected, the sales of Hongguang MINI will not be bad, more than 50,000 vehicles can be imagined, after all, in November the car sales exceeded 40,000, December is the peak sales season, Wuling Hongguang MINI positioning particularity, perhaps there are many companies will be as the annual meeting prize purchase. In addition to the truth, Xuanyi's performance is not bad, with the strong support of the online car market, the sales also exceeded 50,000 vehicles, but still lost to Hongguang MINI. In addition, Hongguang MINI's sales data of breaking 50,000 also refreshed the record high in the history of domestic cars.
Geely Emgrand: 6.28-9.18 million
December sales: 27,798 units up 13.4% yoyph
Geely Emgrand has been selling well in the domestic market for more than 10 years, but it is rare to break through to 27,798 vehicle sales, and it also achieved a year-on-year increase of 13.4% in December. In September, Geely launched the fourth generation of Emgrand, the product power has been greatly upgraded, based on the new architecture to build, the overall design is closer to the high-end series of Xingrui, it looks much more upscale. The simple interior style also looks very comfortable, and the material and workmanship do not look like a model that only costs 60,000-90,000 pieces, which may also be where Geely is more shrewd.
BYD Qin series (Qin: 6.49-8.19 million Qin PLUS: 10.58-17.48 million yuan)
December sales of 25,940 units increased by 485.7% y/y
The table of the association is written by BYD Qin, but in fact it should refer to the Qin series, of course, the main contributor to sales is Qin PLUS, an increase of 485.7% year-on-year, but last December Qin PLUS has not yet been listed, so this huge increase can also be understood. The advantage of Qin PLUS is that the DM-i super hybrid system it is equipped with can be both green card and tax-free, and the power loss and fuel consumption are not high, only 4.6L/100KM. There is no endurance anxiety, when the use of oil trucks is not a big problem, and it is very rare that this car has been a cheap sale at the terminal, which shows the recognition of the Chinese people.
SUV sector, domestic performance is also very strong, there are 6 SUV models squeezed into the top 15 of the list, namely Haval H6 BYD Song, Changan CS75 Geely Boyue, Changan CS55 Ideal ONE.
First place Haval H6: 9.89-15.70 million
Sales: 41,456 units- y/y decrease of 23.9%
Among them, the Haval H6 still won the championship, with sales reaching 41,456 vehicles, but under the violent impact of various competitors, Haval H6 sales still had a 23.9% year-on-year decline. However, it is more difficult to be stable in the first place, and it is necessary for the product itself to be outstanding enough, and the after-sales service and quality cannot be dragged behind, so as to ensure user stickiness and loyalty. Obviously, the Haval H6 did.
Third PLACE BYD Song (including Song, Song Pro/Song Pro New Energy, Song PLUS/Song PLUS New Energy)
Sales: 22,340 units up 5.1% yoY
Today's Song family is getting bigger and bigger, more and more members, the price is also covered from 69,800 yuan to nearly 200,000 yuan, no matter which price consumer chooses the compact SUV model as a family, basically can find the right choice, and Song Pro and Song PLUS new energy have launched a DM-i version, and Qin PLUS hot sales is a principle.
11th Changan CS75 (including CS75 CS75PLUS)
Sales: 14,466 units down 39.6% year-on-year
Although it did not fall out of the top 15 list, the decline of Changan CS75 was a bit serious, and the past ranking could basically reach the top three or top five, but this time it fell to 11th. There is also a possibility that everyone is waiting for the second-generation CS75 PLUS, which is likely to be available in the first quarter. The exterior has been greatly modified, and two different styles are provided, the interior and configuration technology content is also very high, equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T Blue Whale engines, the whole series matches the 8AT transmission, from the design, to the core power has been comprehensively improved, so there should be a lot of people waiting and seeing.
12th Place Gilli Boyue: 9.18-14.28 million
Sales: 14,434 units- y/y decrease of 44.1%
Haval H6 CS75 Geely Boyue these three models, in the past as the domestic compact SUV market three musketeers, but Boyue and CS75, in December sales showed a large decline, on the one hand may be BYD Song PRO, Song PLUS appeared to seize market share, on the other hand, Boyue's product strength does need to be upgraded, It is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, but the performance is basically the same as the 1.5T of Song PLUS, and the design is relatively backward compared with its own Hoshikoshi series.
14th CS55 (i.e. CS55PLUS: 9.29-12.19 million)
Sales: 14,226 units up 40% y/y
CS55 can squeeze into the 14th place of great progress, after the launch of the new model in September last year, the use of borderless design style, more sci-fi futuristic, the atmosphere in the car is also extremely combative, showing Changan's increasingly strong design strength. The Blue Whale 1.5T engine has a maximum horsepower of 180Ps, which meets the pressure of daily driving, and for most young people, the price is also quite close to the people, and it is reasonable to fire.
No. 15 Ideal ONE is priced at 338,000
Sales: 14,087 units up 130% yoyph
Ideal ONE comes from the domestic car new power brand, can squeeze into the top 15 SUV list is undoubtedly quite surprising, more than 14,000 sales is also the highest record since the car was listed, as a range extender car, in the past this form was not optimistic, but the ideal ONE created a miracle of counterattack. In addition to solving the mileage anxiety and ensuring fuel economy, the car has an atmospheric design, a luxurious interior texture, and a configuration that far exceeds other joint venture cars at the same price, and there are still many points to see in the ideal ONE in the product itself.
Summary: Although there are only three cars squeezed into the top 15, the sales base is relatively large, to a certain extent, it still reflects the huge progress of domestic cars, and if there is no accident, there will be many domestic cars that can enter the 10,000 clubs, and the performance of domestic cars in the field of SUVs has always been outstanding. However, from the current ranking and proportion, domestic production is still a certain distance from the joint venture brand, but it does not mean that domestic production does not have the opportunity to surpass. After all, in the past two years, it is not very dare to think that there will be three cars selling more than 20,000 cars in china. And the price level of domestic cars is also slowly rising, no longer completely relying on low prices or preferential treatment to attract customers as in the past. And in fact, from some points of view, domestic cars do do better than joint venture brands, such as in the field of new energy plug-in and mixing, the current market more popular models are basically from domestic production, and in terms of technology, BYD, Great Wall, Geely, Changan have developed the ability to look after the family. So we also have reason to believe that the day when domestic production will fully stand up.
