As we all know, in the domestic auto market, German cars and Japanese cars are "fighting" inextricably, and the strong market performance has captured a lot of sales, resulting in a serious compression of the share of American, Korean and French cars. So if you look at the global market, which brands stand out? Today, Xiaobian will take stock of the top 5 global car companies in 2021.
In the first place, Toyota Motor, global sales increased to 10.5 million units. There is a saying in the automobile industry, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will be a Toyota car if there is a road." After all, Toyota is indeed a giant in the global car companies and is very popular in various places, otherwise it will not always be the first in global sales. From the Sahara Desert to your backyard, Toyota is everywhere. And it's been around longer than most of its own competitors.
In second place, Volkswagen, sold 8.9 million units worldwide. In 2021, there are still some regrets for the Volkswagen Group, which has not been able to regain the position of the crown from Toyota, and can only hope for 2022. Of course, Volkswagen is also a big move this year, especially in the Chinese market, it will bring about a medium-term redesign of Langyi, a new generation of Lingdu L and other new cars, as long as it can capture the hearts of domestic consumers, the power of Volkswagen is still not to be underestimated, after all, "the world's Toyota, China's Volkswagen" is not nonsense.
In third place, the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, with global sales of 7.68 million units. As the world's largest automaker, the highlight of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance was undoubtedly in 2017, when it beat Toyota and Volkswagen with annual sales of 10.61 million vehicles and successfully won the top sales of global car companies. Although the alliance has later reached a shaky point due to the impact of the Ghosn incident, after all, the foundation of the people is still there, so the sales volume has also developed steadily and sat firmly in the top 3 position.
In fourth place, Hyundai Motor Group, sold more than 6.6 million units worldwide. Many people may not expect that the Korean cars that do not sell well can actually rank fourth on the list. But we have to admit that Korean cars are indeed very competitive in the global market, hyundai and Kia are also one of the few car companies with complete R & D and production capabilities of three major automotive parts, which we still need to recognize. Therefore, if Korean cars can spend some effort in the domestic market, it is not impossible to make a comeback.
In fifth place, General Motors, sold about 6 million units worldwide. Although this is the only U.S. brand to enter the top five, General Motors has shown a downward trend for the fifth consecutive year. It is worth mentioning that in its own HOME field in the United States, GM was also robbed of the annual car company sales crown by Toyota for the first time, and the locals were "rubbed on the ground by "foreigners", presumably GM is very uncomfortable now.
The auto groups in 6-10 are: Stellantis, Honda, Ford, Suzuki and BMW. From the sales data, it can be seen that Japanese cars have a strong competitiveness in the global market, and Honda, which ranks sixth, needless to say, even Suzuki, which has withdrawn from the Chinese market, has also lived in other markets.
It must be said that luxury brand BMW has also squeezed into the top ten positions, with global sales of 2.52 million units in 2021. There is no doubt that BMW did sell crazy last year, 3 Series, 5 Series, BMW X3 and other models, are the leaders of their respective market segments, and BMW's sales in the Chinese market last year also reached 846,000 vehicles, so BMW can have the current results, the contribution of the Chinese people is indispensable.
Editor's note
Judging from the sales results of global car companies last year, it is a pity that we did not see the figure of domestic cars. Although domestic cars have indeed improved very fast over the years, if you want to go abroad, the acceptance of domestic cars by foreigners still needs to be slow. Waiting for the day when we can also see the figure of domestic cars in the top ten sales of global car companies, it will be really proud.
