In the blink of an eye, the New Year's flavor has begun to fade, and most people are tired after experiencing high-speed traffic jams, and their new work and life are also beginning to be on the right track. In the past few days, some car companies have released the first report card of the Year of the Tiger, and they have basically achieved a good start.
As we all know, in the past 2021, GAC Toyota is the only mainstream joint venture car company to achieve double-digit positive growth, reaching 11%, and finally ending with 840,000 vehicles for the whole year. Earlier, GAC Toyota also officially announced its sales figures for January. According to the data, GAC Toyota sold nearly 100,000 vehicles in a single month in January, reaching 99,900 units, an increase of 11.2% year-on-year. It can be said that at the beginning of 2022, GAC Toyota ushered in a good start.
Specifically, with the support of TNGA's three flagship models, the Camry, Highlander and Xena totaled 46,611 units, accounting for 46.7% of GAC Toyota's sales in the month. Among them, Camry sold 28,023 units in the month, an increase of 39.9% year-on-year. Last year, the Camry topped the sales of the year. In the first month of 2022, it exceeded 25,000 vehicles again, and it is not surprising that the monthly sales crown of the B-class car should also be stable.
Highlander, a product that has been difficult to surpass in the seven-seat SUV segment, sold 13,189 units in January, an increase of 14.7% year-on-year, which is also the fourth consecutive month that Highlander has sold more than 10,000 units. In the past, Highlander's monthly sales were roughly maintained at about 7,000 or 8,000 units, which is a good result for such a medium-sized SUV model. However, since the fourth quarter of last year, Highlander's monthly sales have gradually climbed, and breaking 10,000 has become the norm.
In addition, Xena is definitely one of the most talked about MPVs in 2021. Even, due to the excessive price increase of some terminals, consumer dissatisfaction has been caused, which also reflects how high the degree of favor of Xena by the market is. According to the data, the sales of Sai Na broke through 5,000 that month, which was 5399 vehicles, of which the sales of top models accounted for 40%. Of course, this does not rule out that it is to digest the orders accumulated by insufficient production capacity last year. Whether it can be stabilized and maintained next, we will wait and see.
SUVs are an indispensable product line for a car company, and even a code to get rich, which can be seen from the new models that GAC Toyota has introduced last year. Among them, Veranda sold 17,483 units in January, an increase of 42.5% year-on-year. Although compared to competitors such as Haoying, CR-V and RAV-4, Veranda may not be eye-catching in terms of sales data. However, the annual sales of more than 100,000 vehicles in 2021 are still enough to prove that the car has a certain charm in the market.
According to the plan, in 2022, GAC Toyota will hit the target of annual sales of one million. In the first month of the new year, it handed over nearly 100,000 vehicles at the beginning, and the momentum was indeed as fierce as the Year of the Tiger. In terms of products, in 2021, GAC Toyota has successively introduced 10 models, expanding the MPV and A+ models that were not originally available. And for the medium-sized, medium-sized and large-sized SUV products to upgrade, so that the TNGA family to fully complete the coverage of the mainstream market segments of cars, SUVs, MPVs, these will become a strong player in this year's million target.
Among them, the recently listed Feng Landa and Weisa, a low and a high product positioning, not only fill the market gap between the products, but also bring a certain impact to the market segments to which they belong. Next, for the market performance of Fenglanda and Weisa, it will undoubtedly receive more attention.
In addition, according to the plan, GAC Toyota will also start the launch offensive of pure electric models with e-TNGA architecture this year, and the first new bZ series models are expected to be launched within the year. At that time, gac toyota's product situation will be further broadened.
At the same time, it is reported that GAC Toyota's new plant expanded in Nansha, Guangzhou, is expected to be officially put into operation this year. After completion, the production capacity is expected to be 200,000 vehicles / year, and the total planned production capacity will reach 800,000 vehicles / year, and strive to provide guarantee for the annual sales target of 1 million vehicles.
Public opinion: The first month of the Year of the Tiger opened well, which injected strong confidence into gaga motor Toyota's next market performance. At the same time, the goal of annual sales of one million this year is also on the surface. Of course, the cakes that stare at millions of sales are not far more than just the Guangfeng family. Exactly what gac toyota can achieve in the year of the tiger, we will wait and see how it changes.
