Recently, the Association announced the overall sales volume of the domestic automobile market in December, and the sales volume of the SUV market in December was 959,000 units, down 11.4% year-on-year and 14.1% month-on-month. Among them, the unfavorable factors are still mainly the sporadic and recurrence of the epidemic, which has a greater impact on the volume of stores, coupled with the high sales base at the end of December 2020, resulting in a decline in the year-on-year growth. Compared with November, the early start of the homecoming tide before the Spring Festival brought about a peak sales season and achieved an upward trend in terminal retail. Let's take a look at the specific vehicle sales rankings of the SUV market in December 2021.
TOP5: GUANGQI Honda Binzhi
Sales in December: 20,478 units
GUANGQI Honda Binzhi is definitely an evergreen tree in the SUV market, mainly because Binzhi has always been able to maintain its own advantages while meeting the needs of consumers through facelifts. For example, the new SPORT style bracketing kit of the current Binzhi effectively enhances the sense of sportiness of the appearance, and at the same time replaces the 1.8L naturally aspirated engine of the old model with a 1.5T Earth Dream turbo engine, which can further open up the market for young consumers.
Although positioned as a small SUV, Binzhi is still a product that is known for its spatial performance. Excellent practicality, low car costs, coupled with Guangqi Honda's golden signboard, naturally will also allow Binzhi to be active in the top of the SUV sales list all year round.
TOP4: Dongfeng Honda XR-V
Sales in December: 20,897 units
Under Honda's twin-car strategy, Binzhi also has a sister model in the Chinese market - Dongfeng Honda XR-V. Overall, dongfeng Honda XR-V and GAC Honda Binzhi are not fundamentally different, similar prices, the same powertrain, but the former will be younger in the design. In particular, the Dongfeng Honda XR-V obsidian version of the model, the blackened design of the whole car with the black STYLE exclusive logo, are more in line with the aesthetics of young users.
Of course, Dongfeng Honda XR-V also has great advantages in space practicality and powertrain, the maximum power of the 1.5L version is 131Ps, the peak torque is 155N·m, matching 6-speed manual and CVT gearbox, very suitable for home transportation; the maximum power of the 1.5T version is 177Ps, the peak torque is 220N·m, and the transmission system is CVT gearbox, which can meet the young people's pursuit of driving passion.
TOP3: BYD Song
Sales in December: 22,340 units
To say that the most critically received SUV model in 2021, the BYD Song family is absolutely second to none. With the joint efforts of Song PLUS and Song Pro, the sales of the BYD Song family have risen all the way this year, and in December, they also broke into the top three of the SUV sales list with a score of 22340 units.
Of course, the biggest contributor to the BYD Song family's excellent results must be DM-i technology. With excellent fuel consumption control performance, models equipped with DM-i technology have seen a hard-to-find event this year. We take BYD Song PLUS DM-i as an example, Song PLUS DM-i's 51km endurance version of the model achieves an acceleration time of 8.5 seconds 0-100km/h at the same time, the power loss fuel consumption is only 4.4L/100km, and the comprehensive cruising range can reach 1150km when full of fuel; the acceleration time of the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the 110km endurance version model is increased to 7.9s, and the fuel consumption is 4.5L/100km. The comprehensive cruising range can reach a staggering 1200km with full fuel and full electricity. It can not only be a short-distance pure electric transportation, but also eliminate mileage anxiety, and the success of BYD Song is no accident.
TOP2: Tesla Model Y
Sales in December: 40,500 units
As the champion of new energy SUV sales, Tesla Model Y is placed in the full category market and can also rank second. But combined with Tesla's negative entanglement in the past year, it is actually quite surprising that Model Y can still achieve such results. It can only be said that everyone criticizes Tesla, but the body is still very honest.
In fact, in July 2021, Tesla's sales in the domestic market fell by 69% month-on-month. But then, the launch of the Model Y standard endurance version instantly detonated Tesla's sales data. After the subsidy, the price of only 276,000 yuan plus the 525km NEDC cruising range and the 5.6-second 0-100km/h acceleration time have attracted the attention of many consumers. However, the current estimated delivery date of the Model Y Standard Endurance Edition has been adjusted to 10 to 16 weeks (that is, 2.5 months to 4 months), which does not rule out the occurrence of future unsubscribes.
TOP1: Haval H6
Sales in December: 41,456 units
The top position of Haval H6 is still very stable, and the Haval H6, which has now come to the third generation, has adopted the strategy of selling new and old models together, and the national tide version created based on the second-generation Haval H6 and the third-generation Haval H6 have contributed 41456 units of sales data to Haval.
At the 2010 Guangzhou Auto Show, the Haval H6 attracted the attention of many consumers with its satisfactory spatial performance and rich configuration for the first time, coupled with the starting price of 95,800 yuan, domestic consumers finally have a cost-effective and powerful model to choose from. With a deep mass base and a sales champion aura, how long can the title be maintained in the future of the high-flowered, white-hot compact SUV market? We'll see!
Uncle Che summed up
Although the year-on-year sales figures have declined, the SUV market in December 2021 still maintained a month-on-month upward trend. The continuous development of Chinese brand SUVs is affecting the entire SUV market. At the same time, new energy models are also gradually rising. In addition, the old models in the joint venture brands also maintain strong competitiveness. In the first month of 2022, which flagship models will achieve further sales increases? It's worth looking forward to!
