According to the latest statistics of the Association of Passenger Vehicles, domestic narrow passenger car sales in December 2021 were 2.105 million units, an increase of 15.9% month-on-month. Sales for the full year 2021 reached 20.146 million units, up 4.4% year-on-year.
To say that this year's luxury car field is also more difficult, let's look at the specific sales situation.
December limousine sales list: Mercedes-Benz models continue to rise, Hongqi two models on the list
In December, two models of luxury cars sold more than 10,000 copies, namely the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Audi A6.
Specifically, Mercedes-Benz sales continued to rise in December, with Mercedes-Benz E-class 13904 units ranking first, an increase of 20.7% year-on-year, and Mercedes-Benz C-class sales reaching 9530 vehicles, although still not as good as the same period in previous years, but significantly better than in previous months.
In terms of Audi, the Audi A6 ranked second with a result of 10123 vehicles; while the Audi A4 sold 8184 vehicles, ranking 6th, and there is still a certain gap with the results of previous years.
The BMW 5 Series and BMW 3 Series sold 9,341 and 9,083 units, respectively, ranking 4th and 5th respectively, but also saw a sharp year-on-year decline.
It is worth mentioning that the independent luxury brand Hongqi 2 models continue to be on the list, Hongqi H9 sold 3891 vehicles, an increase of 20.2% year-on-year; Hongqi E-QM5 sales of 1913 vehicles.
2021 limousine sales list: BMW 5 Series won the championship, and many models declined
We focus on the annual sales ranking of luxury cars, with a total of 3 models selling more than 150,000 vehicles a year, namely the BMW 5 Series, the BMW 3 Series and the Audi A6.
Due to the impact of Mercedes-Benz and Audi for several months, the first and second runners of the 2021 luxury car were won by BMW, bmw 5 series ranked first with 171852, BMW 3 series sold a total of 170249 vehicles, ranking second, the gap between the two is only more than 1,000 vehicles, both show a year-on-year growth trend.
In third place is the Audi A6, with sales of 156304 vehicles in 2021, although the last few months are gradually recovering, but compared with last year's more than 180,000 vehicles to win the championship, there is still a certain gap; Audi's other model, the Audi A4, ranked 6th with a 121767.
In mercedes-benz, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class ranked 4th on the list with annual sales of 141218 vehicles; the Sales volume of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class in 2021 was 130442 units. I hope that at the beginning of the new year, these declining models can be completely freed from the haze of lack of cores, and sales are increasing.
The volvo S90 ranked first in the second camp, ranking 7th with 37,875 units, an increase of 6.3% year-on-year.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that the annual sales volume of The Hongqi H9 reached 34,091 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 202.6%, and the ranking rose to 8th.
The cumulative sales of the Cadillac CT6 in 2021 were 18,922 units, down 16.0% year-on-year, and the model was also the most down-to-decline model on the list.
At the bottom of the list is SAIC Volkswagen Huiang, with an annual performance of 9231 vehicles, a slight decline of 1.2% year-on-year.
Overall, the sales volume of the luxury car field in 2021 has declined compared with previous years; in the BBA, BMW, which is less affected by the lack of core, stands out; and the performance of the Hongqi H9 in the second-tier camp is quite eye-catching. We look forward to further increasing sales of all models in the new year.
Luxury SUV sales list in December: Model Y won the championship with more than 40,000 vehicles, and Mercedes-Benz GRC returned
In December, a total of five models sold more than 10,000 models in the luxury SUV market.
In the last month, the Tesla Model Y was full of energy, selling 40,500 vehicles, surpassing the second ideal ONE is not a star and a half. The Ideal ONE ranked second with 14,087 units, up 130.0% year-on-year.
In addition to these two models, the top of the BBA is the Mercedes-Benz GLC, with a total of 13,072 units sold, an increase of 17.0% year-on-year.
Then there's the Audi Q5L and bmw X3, and the gap between the two is small.
2021 luxury SUV sales list: the ranking has changed greatly, and the BBA has suffered a shock
In the luxury SUV market in 2021, mercedes-benz GRC, Audi Q5L, and BMW X3, which have been in the top three for many years, have suffered an unprecedented impact, that is, Tesla Model Y.
Especially in the last month of 2021, Tesla Model Y's monthly sales reached 40,500 units, helping its cumulative sales to nearly 170,000 vehicles, surpassing the BMW X3 to the first position in the list. Although the monthly supply of domestic quantities is unstable, there are also many negative evaluations, but it still uses a very bright annual total sales volume to prove the love of the Chinese people.
In addition to the Model Y, the 2021 annual sales rankings of the Mercedes-Benz GRC, Audi Q5L and BMW X3 have also changed. With the result of 149742 vehicles, bmw X3 ranked second in the list, an increase of 11.6% year-on-year, which is a good performance.
The annual total sales of the Audi Q5L and Mercedes-Benz GRC are 139909 and 135884, respectively, and the gap between the two is not too large. In 2021, Audi and Mercedes-Benz are due to the lack of core problems, the supply of real cars has been greatly affected, these two SUV models have not been spared, but from the gradual recovery of sales in the last few months of 2021, it can be seen that both are gradually recovering the state, a new year and a new beginning, I hope these models can start again and create brilliance again.
Speaking of which, the BBA is actually quite difficult, before there is Model Y, after there is the ideal ONE, the sales of the ideal ONE in 2021 are really very eye-catching, especially in the last few months of continuous climbing, the annual sales reached 90491 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 177.4%, which is not small to do with the addition of its new models. In the new year, can it break records again?
The second camp after the ideal ONE is expected, with SAIC Volkswagen Tuon and Volvo XC60 selling 67,950 and 65,036 vehicles respectively, both exceeding 60,000 units, ranking 6th and 7th respectively.
Mercedes-Benz GLB, Cadillac XT5 and NIO ES6 ranked 8th, 9th and 10th on the list. Among them, cadillac XT5 annual sales of 51606 units, down 20.5% year-on-year, is also the most serious year-on-year decline on the list.
The above is the total sales volume of the luxury car market in 2021, in general, the sales volume of the luxury car market is still affected by the epidemic, lack of core and other issues, especially mercedes-Benz, Audi models, did not play the due level. However, with the resumption of supply of chips, it is believed that its sales will be further improved.
However, it is still foreseeable that in the new year, the luxury car market, especially the luxury SUV market, will become more and more competitive, which car are you more optimistic about? Welcome to discuss in the comments section.
