With the development of the times, our lives have become more and more abundant. Users' pursuit of luxury cars is also getting higher and higher. Recently, the sales list of first-line luxury brands in 2021 was released, and on this list, we can find that several major luxury brands have performed very well in the Chinese market.
In 2021, BMW will sell more than 820,000 vehicles in China, Mercedes-Benz will sell more than 730,000 vehicles, and Audi will sell more than 690,000 vehicles. These three brands still firmly occupy the top three positions.
The 4th place was won by Tesla, with sales of 320,000 vehicles, and the 5th place was the Chinese brand Hongqi Automobile, with sales of 270,000 vehicles.
Cadillac, Lexus, Volvo and Jaguar Land Rover also sell around 100,000 to 200,000. Lincoln Motors, Ideal Cars, and NIO Cars also sold more than 90,000 vehicles. So from the perspective of the entire list, the total number of these luxury brands has reached 3.94 million. I think that's a good example of how Chinese're really getting richer.
And on this list, although there are also some brands of sales declined, but the decline is very small, Mercedes-Benz fell by 3.6% year-on-year, Audi fell 5.5% year-on-year, Lexus is a relatively large decline, down 6.9% year-on-year, while all other luxury brands of sales have increased year-on-year, of which the growth is more obvious is the ideal car, an increase of 172.6%, followed by Tesla, an increase of 118.7%, Weilai automobile increased by 109.6%. The growth is very pronounced.
In addition to the new power companies, among the traditional fuel luxury brands, the growth rate of Hongqi Automobile and Lincoln Automobile is relatively large, Hongqi increased by 42.2% year-on-year, Lincoln increased by 46.4% year-on-year.
Therefore, the development trend is already very obvious, that is, luxury brands are also transforming in the direction of new energy, and the brands that have taken the lead in entering the new energy market can preemptively harvest a wave of dividends. Therefore, it is estimated that more luxury brands will enter the new energy market this year.
And among all the luxury brand models, the sales volume is better, instead of the cheap luxury brand car, but the more expensive car.
For example, BMW 5 Series sales exceeded 180,000 units in 2021, an increase of 8% year-on-year, and BMW 3 Series sales also increased by 9.4% year-on-year. However, compared with the Audi A6L, including mercedes-Benz E-class sales are also very good, but it has declined year-on-year.
Although the sales of other luxury brand models have also risen and fallen, we can find that even the last Ranked Mercedes-Benz GLS has a sales volume of more than 16,000 vehicles a year, so it can be found that the entire luxury brand car market is still a very prosperous state of development.
