The automotive circle in 2021 is not exaggerated to describe the ups and downs, with chip shortages, repeated epidemics and other factors, even BBA can not be overwhelmed, need to use production cuts to stop losses. It was also clear at last year's major international auto shows that the excitement of the new car was far less exciting than the previous two years.
However, there is a market segment in the car circle that is an exception, that is, new energy, and various new energy vehicle companies have been marching forward, especially the new energy vehicles created by traditional car companies, which have not been affected by chips and the epidemic.
In the past 2021, what are the highlights of new energy vehicle companies, let's take a look at the top five traditional car companies with the strongest growth trend.
BYD: Pure electricity and hybrid go hand in hand
To say who is the biggest winner in the new energy market in 2021, it is undoubtedly BYD, which has sold 730,000 vehicles in the whole year, of which new energy vehicles accounted for 593,700 vehicles, an increase of 231.6% year-on-year, occupying the first place in the annual list.
As the biggest contributor to BYD's highlight moments, BYD's pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles sold 320,000 and 273,000 vehicles respectively, especially DM-i models, such as Qin PLUS DM-i, which have a pick-up cycle of more than three months.
Driven by blade battery and DM-i super hybrid system technology, almost all models are best-selling models, and BYD's full blossoming has also triggered the era of the entire independent brand to open a hybrid inner volume, great wall, Geely, Changan have quickly launched their own hybrid models, ask you BYD is not terrible.

This year, Wuling will also launch an open-top version of the Hongguang MINIEV and a large-sized Hongguang MINIEV, which are personalized products co-created with users, and to talk about the circle, we have to serve the Hongguang MINIEV.
Great Wall Euler: Focus on the female market
This year, Great Wall Motor's new energy sales have also achieved substantial growth, with a cumulative sales of 137,000 vehicles in 2021, an increase of 138.5% year-on-year, of which it has to be mentioned that its Euler Automobile, a model of Euler Good Cat alone, has achieved a cumulative sales volume of 50,931 vehicles for the whole year.
In fact, in the price range of 70,000-160,000 yuan where Euler Good Cat is located, competition is particularly motivated, but thanks to The Great Wall Motor's ability to accurately identify consumer groups, the cute and exquisite Euler Automobile has become the favorite of female users in an instant.
Of course, not only the product is good enough, Euler Automobile has also extended around the product to other aspects, through interactive activities and women to build a deep emotional resonance, to put it bluntly what female users are interested in, they specialize in what they do, so today's Euler Automobile has also become a women's endorsement brand.
GAC Aeon: Many black technology blessings
GAC Group's cumulative terminal sales of 2.173 million vehicles in 2021 increased by 6.4% year-on-year, but the best performance still came from its subsidiary GAC Aeon, with cumulative terminal sales reaching 123,660 units in 2021, up 119% year-on-year.
At present, GAC AEG has four models, AION Y, AION S Plus, AION V Plus, and AION LX Plus, covering a price range of 100,000 to 400,000, including segments such as cars, compact SUVs, and mid-size SUVs.
Rich product matrix is only one of the factors behind the success of GAC Aean, firmly grasping the core technology in their own hands is their secret weapon, from the magazine battery to the NDA intelligent pilot assist to the second generation of lidar, at present, GAC Aeon has been able to do 1008km, intelligent assisted driving to the L3 level, are the highest in the same level, so the future potential of GAC Aean is unfathomable.
SAIC Passenger Vehicle: Exports are soaring, standing firmly in the C position of the national tide
Of course, selling well is not the only indicator of excellent product strength, if it can go global, it is more indicative that the product strength is enough to fight, and SAIC Passenger Car is such a brand that is going international.
In 2021, SAIC's passenger cars, including Roewe and MG MG, exceeded 800,000 units for the first time in the year, an increase of 22% year-on-year. Among them, the export volume reached 290,000 vehicles, an increase of 68% year-on-year, and the annual hot sales of new energy reached 161,000 units, an increase of 107% year-on-year.
In fact, to achieve such impressive results, but also rely on the value of the product technology, SAIC Passenger Vehicle has been committed to independent development of the latest technology, in the new generation of pure electric architecture and SIGMA architecture after the birth of the birth, SAIC Passenger Vehicle will usher in a period of rapid growth in product iteration.
It is expected that this year, roewe whale based on the SIGMA architecture and the new generation of RX5, based on the new generation of pure electric architecture to build a pure electric small steel cannon and pure electric coupe MG Cyberster and many other models.
Therefore, in the new year of 2022, I believe that there will be more traditional car companies in the field of new energy to concentrate on the force, we may wish to wait and see!
