2021 has quietly passed, the automotive circle is most concerned about the car sales ranking, in these days, the China Association of Automobiles is also working overtime to count the "China Automobile Sales Ranking List". As far as the Chinese auto market is concerned, the highest voice is the German car and the Japanese car, but after the sales data statistics come out, the German car and the Japanese car have some span, compared with 2020, in addition to the Camry, the sales of the German car and the Japanese car have declined, and the most surprising is the domestic car, its sales show an exponential upward trend, the strong rise of independent brands, but also let many Chinese people be pleased.
Although Japanese car sales are high, sales have declined significantly compared with 2020
As far as the 2021 car sales list is concerned, the most popular is Nissan Xuanyi, with a total sales volume of 513,000 vehicles from January to December, and its performance is nearly 80,000 units higher than that of the second-place Volkswagen Langyi, which shows that Nissan Xuanyi has shown a thriving state in the field of cars. Although Xuanyi's sales are very high, compared with 2020, its total sales have fallen by 5.1% year-on-year, which also makes Nissan unhappy, after all, Xuanyi is now in decline.
In addition to Xuanyi, in the top 15 of the car sales list in the car field, there are 5 Japanese cars, namely Corolla, Leiling, Camry, Accord, Civic 5 models, although their sales are excellent, but except for the Camry, all other Japanese cars, their sales have declined year-on-year, of which the Civic decline is the most serious, the annual sales of the Civic in 2021 is 166,000 units, and its sales in 2020 are 243,000 units, down 31.7% year-on-year.
The decline of the German car is visible to the naked eye
Volkswagen has always been a god-like presence in China, but the Volkswagen in 2021 is a bit confusing, in the top 15 models in the field of cars, Volkswagen only has 3 models listed among them, namely Volkswagen New Langyi, Volkswagen Bora and Volkswagen Sagittarius, while the previous Volkswagen Maiteng, Passat, Santana and other models have long been invisible. Volkswagen in 2021 is very miserable, Volkswagen Langyi in 2021 sales performance is only 432,000 vehicles, down 3.8% year-on-year, Volkswagen Bora sales performance of 250,000 vehicles, down 27.2% year-on-year, and Volkswagen Sagitar sales performance of 234,000 vehicles, down 24.9% year-on-year, how can such a Volkswagen be worthy of the trust of Chinese consumers?
Many people attribute the decline in sales of Japanese and German cars to the shortage of chips, but domestic cars are also produced and sold in the same situation, why can domestic cars achieve good results?
Domestic cars are going through the "rampage" stage
I don't know if you know Wuling Hongguang mini, this is a full of new energy vehicles, the price of the model is very low, the official guidance price of 28,800, because this car is very grounded, resulting in its sales in the Chinese auto market is very high, the total sales in 2021 up to 395,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 250.7%, through this data can make everyone think of its hot trend.
Another domestic car is BYD Qin, which won 189,000 sales results from January to December 2021, compared with 2020, BYD Qin sales soared by 226.8% year-on-year, and its progress is obvious to all. Among them, the most popular is the BYD Qin pro vehicle, 1.5T + 6DCT powertrain, NEDC certified fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km, the official guidance price of the vehicle is 7.98 ~ 9.98 million, the success of BYD Qin also let the independent brand car companies find confidence. Geely Emgrand is still a very competitive model among domestic cars, with total sales of 209,000 units in 2021, but down 9.7% from 2020.
In summary, it is not difficult to see that although the sales of Japanese cars and German cars in China continue to be hot, the sales of Japanese and German cars are gradually declining, and their proportion in the Chinese auto market is shrinking, while independent brand models are rising strongly, and the momentum of their sales growth has impressed Chinese consumers.
