Foreign media Clean Technica has just counted the new energy vehicle sales list for the whole year of 2021, and the global car sales list in the past is not very meaningful to us, because many models cannot be bought or popular in China (Ford F series pickup trucks sold more than one million vehicles a year at the peak of the year, can you believe?). ）。 But in the era of new energy vehicles, It is different, China is already the world's largest new energy vehicle market, the top ten models are all sold in China, and many of them are only available in China.
Well, without further ado, let's take a look at which models are on the list.
10th Volkswagen ID.3
Global sales in 2021: 76,278 domestic guide price: 159,900-17.39 million yuan
Volkswagen is undoubtedly the hegemon of the fuel car era, and in Volkswagen's models, golf has always been the global sales leader. The ID.3 aligns with the Golf in terms of size, power and configuration, but sales are far less than golf.
After test-driving the SAIC Volkswagen ID.3 last year, I was very impressed with the car. Compared with the new power model at the same price, the ID.3's driving texture is obviously better, but it is obviously inferior in endurance and intelligent systems.
The domestic ID.3 was only launched in October last year, so China only accounted for more than 5,000 of the more than 70,000 vehicles sold, and it will sell better in about 22 years.
The question is, will you like the ID.3 type of "traditional new energy vehicle"? Talk about it in the comments section.
Ninth Place Changan Ben E-Star 2021 Global Sales: 76,454 Vehicles Guidance Price: 4.98-7.48 Million Yuan
The car is called "Benni EV" in Clean Technica's data, and although it is not 100% certain, it should be the Ben E-Star.
The Ben E-Star is a cheap pure electric grocery cart (well, it's the old man' music), but at a price of 50,000-70,000 yuan, it offers 4 seats and a NEDC endurance of just over 300km, and the carriage is much stronger than the early real old man.
There are really not many models similar to the Ben E-Star, and the Euler Black Cat is one. But the 75-horsepower motor of the Ben E-Star is significantly stronger than the black cat, with a slightly worse battery life and a lot cheaper price. This is probably the reason why its appearance is worse than that of a white cat, but its sales can exceed that of a black cat, right? Instead, would you choose the more practical Ben E-Star? Or is it a cuteer black cat?
Eighth place BYD Song PRO + Song Plus DM-i Global sales in 2021: 78,973 vehicles Guidance price: 13.58-160,800 yuan (Song Pro DM-i) 14.98-2028,800 yuan (Song Plus DM-i)
BYD appeared! Do you remember? At the end of last year, Xiaopeng managed to achieve a cumulative sales of 90,000 vehicles, and BYD announced very sparingly, "Our sales figures lost a little to Xiaopeng, but it was monthly sales."
The DM-i models of the Song family SUVs contributed to many of these sales.
The reason why Song Plus DM-i and Song PRO DM-i are only ranked eighth together is that I think it is mainly because of BYD's lack of production capacity. Because after upgrading from the old DM to the new DM-i, in fact, the two brothers are very strong, and the price range from 130,000 to 200,000 is exactly the range that most compact SUV consumers can accept.
By the way, although the name only changed from "DM" to "DM-i", in fact, the structure of the whole hybrid system is completely different, and the feeder fuel consumption of DM-i is significantly lower than that of DM, so these two cars are actually bug-like in restricted cities.
Seventh place BYD Han EV global sales in 2021: 86,901 units
Guidance price: 21.48-28.45 million yuan
Honestly, when Han EV went public, I didn't think it could sell that much because it wasn't priced cheaply!
Of course, it is not cheap is relative, and the Xiaopeng P7, which is close to it, sells more expensive.
HanEV is available in two power configurations: single motor and dual motor. Single motor main long endurance, with a large battery pack can reach 605km NEDC endurance. Dual motors are naturally aimed at performance, with 100 km/h acceleration reaching 3.9s and endurance also 550 km.
It is worth mentioning that no matter which configuration, Han EV uses BYD's blade battery, that is, lithium iron phosphate battery. Many people think that the performance of lithium iron phosphate is not as good as ternary lithium, but HanEV's four-wheel drive high-performance version of the blade battery, whether it is output power or fast charging time, is not lost to ternary lithium battery, which is really hin powerful.
Sixth place Ideal ONE
Global sales in 2021: 90,491 units
Guidance price: 338,000 yuan
Ideal ONE has recently been a bit drifty, do not want to put themselves in the field of new energy vehicles, and directly compete with Highlander for the crown of "medium and large SUV models".
On the one hand, just by the sales volume of the Chinese market, it can reach the sixth place in the world, and the ideal ONE is indeed a good seller.
On the other hand, the ideal ONE is indeed an "alternative" in new energy vehicles. In The Clean Technica report, the ideal ONE is highlighted as erev, or range-extended electric vehicle.
Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of range-extending electric vehicle technology, the ideal CEO Li Xiang himself has also debated with other bosses for a long time, and it will not be long here. But I think I can borrow Uncle Deng's famous quote, "Whether it is a black cat or a white cat, a good cat can catch a mouse."
Anyway, from the perspective of the use of the feeling, the ideal ONE as long as more than 300,000, it provides seven comfortable seats and intelligent driving experience, can be green card, but also refueling. At least to this day, only the Lynk & Co 09 PHEV can barely compare with it.
So the range extension or pure electricity, is this important? What do you think?
Fifth place BYD Qin Plus DM-i
Global sales in 2021: 111,553 units
Guidance price: 10.88-14.88 million yuan
BYD's Qin Plus has two series: plug-in hybrid Qin Plus DM-i and pure electric Qin Plus EV. But unlike the Song brothers above, just by relying on the sales of Qin Plus DM-i, it has ranked among the top 5 global sales!
One of the reasons for this is, of course, the high value for money. The entry price of Qin Plus DM-i is only 108,800 yuan, and it can be green carded and exempted from purchase tax. Because of the DM-i system, the actual fuel consumption of this car's feed is about 4 o'clock.
That is to say, the Qin Plus DM-i can fully become a replacement for the Toyota Corolla/Leiling dual engine. Note that I am talking about dual engine, not dual engine E+, although this car can be charged like double engine E+, but the price is much cheaper than double engine E+.
Now you should be able to guess another reason why Qin Plus DM-i is selling well, it is too suitable for running online ride-hailing cars. Why? This topic can be expanded a lot, and I will write an article to tell you more about it next time.
Fourth place Volkswagen ID.4 Global sales in 2021: 121,631 units
Domestic guide price: 19.79-27.79 (including North and South Volkswagen models)
When Volkswagen first came out of the ID series, many people were not optimistic (in fact, it is still there), but ID.4 tells everyone by strength that it is OK.
However, among the more than 120,000 sales, in fact, FAW-Volkswagen's ID.4 CROZZ and SAIC-Volkswagen's ID.4 X combined, which also contributed more than 20,000, so nearly 100,000 sales occurred in overseas markets.
What do you think of this situation?
I think on the one hand, it shows that the ID series is still unsatisfactory in China and does not have an appetite for Chinese consumers. But on the other hand, the overseas market has more than 100,000 single models, even in the Chinese market, which accounts for 60% of the world's new energy vehicle sales in 21 years, it is also the top five hot models, so when China's new forces want to sell cars to the country, can they win Volkswagen's ID series?
Third place Tesla Model Y 2021 global sales: 410,517 domestic guidance price: 30.184-387,900 yuan (basic models do not include optional)
For Volkswagen, the new forces do not have to worry too much, because they should worry more about Tesla.
The Model Y, the third-best-selling model in the world in 21 years, sold more than 410,000 units per model, of which 169,800 units were sold in the Chinese market.
Although the negative is continuous, whether at home or overseas, Model Y still maintains the momentum of rising sales.
The reason is actually very simple, if you look at a certain aspect, there are always better models than the Model Y, but as long as you think about it, the Model Y is still the best "hexagon warrior".
But why is such a good car only in third place? Because the first two are so special.
Second place Goryo Hiroko MiniEV
Global sales in 2021: 424,138 units
Guidance price: 2.88-48,600 yuan
Unfortunately, the Wuling Hongguang MiniEV ranked second with sales of 424,000 units.
But don't forget that Hongguang MiniEV is only sold in the Chinese market, in a sense, Wuling is the winner of Tesla.
There is no doubt that Hongguang MiniEV has created a miracle, before Hongguang MiniEV, the consensus of the industry is that there are only two ways for new energy vehicles: either to sell high-end and high-priced, like Tesla; or to desperately suppress low costs to do old man music, such as Zhidou. But Wuling is desperately trying to reduce the cost to make a high-end looking boutique car.
The result was a hit.
But the explosive model is a hit, Hongguang MiniEV after all, does not have its own advantages in technology, so chery immediately launched a comprehensive benchmarking QQ ice cream, whether it is technical parameters and shape design style, or price and marketing strategy, are the same as Hongguang MiniEV or even a good loss.
Will your words pick Wuling or Chery?
First Tesla Model 3 2021 global sales: 500,713 units
Domestic guidance price: 265,700-399,900 yuan (basic models do not include optional)
It is reasonable to expect that Tesla Model 3 will become the king of new energy vehicles in 2021 with sales of just over 500,000 vehicles.
I thought the championship position would be model Y or Wuling Hongguang MiniEV, because the model Y is more practical than the Model Y, and the price is not much more expensive. Domestic consumers voted with money like me, the Model 3 sold 150,000 units in China last year, almost 20,000 fewer than the Model Y.
The Model 3 in the global market has surpassed 90,000 units, which is very interesting.
Although the Model Y has a shorter time to market, it is essentially the same as the Model 3, and the two cars share 70% of the components in production, even the seats are the same (the Model Y simply and rudely raises the seats with a shelf). For consumers, there are only three differences: the Model 3 is a little cheaper, a little more drivable (because of the low center of gravity), but a little less practical (small space in the rear and tail compartment).
So the Model 3 is more popular overseas because it's cheaper? Or is it because it's better to open? What do you think?
After counting the list, let's go back and look at the results from the corporate level. Tesla is already an unquestionably thriving, Wuling Motors seems to be the champion of the Chinese market, but as long as all the models are added up, BYD' strength player will surface.
Last year in the domestic market, Wuling's total sales of new energy vehicles were 431,130, excluding MiniEV, there were only more than 10,000, including the NanoEV launched by Wuling to copy the MiniEV myth. On the other hand, the Baojun E100 and KiWi EV, as their brothers, are completely unable to rub a little successful dander from the Hongguang MiniEV.
This can only be summed up in an idiom that is cruel to marketers – "victory over the end".
And BYD? Although no model has become a "god car", the total sales of all new energy vehicles have reached 584,020 units, whether it is the most popular SUV Song series, or the entry-level car Qin series, flagship sedan Han series, all of which have annual sales of more than 100,000.
Among them, the DM-i plug-in hybrid system is a well-deserved contributor, which provides a choice for many consumers who want to buy new energy vehicles but do not have the conditions for charging.
Of course, this market opportunity will not only be discovered by BYD, the Great Wall's lemon DHT, Geely's Thor Power, and Chery's Xingtu Power will also be supplied on a large scale this year.
On the other hand, although most of the new power brands have achieved double-digit sales growth, the absolute sales of a single model are only xiaopeng P7 that can squeeze into the top 20 after the ideal ONE, and the total sales of the brand are not very high. This year, in the face of the decline of subsidies for new energy vehicles, the catch-up of traditional brands, and the outbreak of plug-in hybrid/extended range vehicles, it is not a sentence of pressure that is enough to describe.
To borrow a phrase from Mark Twain, this is the best era, this is the worst era, new energy vehicles to replace fuel vehicles is a foregone conclusion, but there are still many internal differences.
Is ternary lithium battery good or lithium iron phosphate good? Is pure electricity good or hybrid good? Is radar laser or millimeter wave good? Should the driving experience be more intelligent or more performance-oriented?
None of these contradictions are likely to be finalized within this year, but if you want to buy a car you have to make a choice.
Pay attention to the tram man EVman, I will clear the fog for you and help you choose the most suitable car for yourself in the melee new energy vehicle market.
