Recently, the Association announced the ranking of car sales in December and January-December, and the retail sales of narrow passenger cars reached 2.105 million units in December, down 7.9% year-on-year and 15.9% month-on-month. Cumulative sales for the full year of 2021 reached 20.146 million units, up 4.4% year-on-year. In terms of cars, a total of 1.049 million units were sold in December, down 1.7% year-on-year and up 17.6% month-on-month, and the cumulative sales volume for the whole year of 2021 was 9.846 million units, up 6.4% year-on-year.
From the specific ranking situation, in December, the top five in the sedan list were Hongguang MINI EV, a total of 50561 units, an increase of 42.9%; Nissan Xuanyi, retail sales of 50492 units, down 19.7% year-on-year; Volkswagen Langyi, retail sales of 42919 units, down 12.1% year-on-year; Toyota Corolla, retail sales of 39565 units, an increase of 5.5%; Tesla Model 3, retail sales of 30102 units, an increase of 26.5% year-on-year.
In December 2021, Hongguang MINIEV surpassed the no. 1 Nissan Xuanyi and regained the monthly sales championship. The Tesla Model 3 squeezed into the top five, and the strength can be seen. Toyota Corolla became more and more courageous, from the 5th place last month to another promotion.
Throughout the year, in the sales ranking of cars from January to December, Nissan Xuanyi won the first car sales in 2021 with 513207 units without suspense, although there was a 5.1% year-on-year decline, but its status was still unshaked. Hongguang MINIEV ranked third in the year with the sales performance of 395451 units. In addition, models like Geely Emgrand, BYD Qin, and Chinese brand models also ranked in the top 15 in annual sales, and their achievements were not bad; while among other rankings, overseas brand models still accounted for the majority.
The above is the sales performance of the car market in December 2021 and January-December, with some good and some sad results. Or because many places in China are plagued by the mutation of the epidemic and the impact of the spread of the epidemic, the sales volume at the end of the year in some regions has been quite impacted. However, with the start of the wave of homecoming before the Spring Festival, the overall retail sales of the overall car market improved significantly in December. In terms of major categories, there is a situation in which the shrinkage of traditional fuel vehicles and the large increase in new energy vehicles coexist. Moreover, the annual sales of passenger cars in 2021 also showed a positive growth trend, ending the decline since 2018.
Looking back at the market characteristics of this year, the market concentration and the threshold for entering the list are both improving; electric vehicles and intelligent networked vehicles have become market highlights; new car-making forces have entered the 10,000-vehicle club, and traditional car companies are in the rapid transformation, and the domestic car market in 2022 will be a big arena for new energy vehicles.
