Following the inventory of the best-selling cars in China in 2021, today let's take a look at the performance of SUVs in China last year. It is worth mentioning that Honda did not make any of the top 10 sedans, but it won three seats in the SUV list, of which the CR-V once again pressed the RAV4 to become the best-selling joint venture SUV of the year. The first SUV sales are still the Haval H6 that dominates the list for many years, although it has declined year-on-year compared with 2020, but it is still riding the dust. (The following data source: China Association of Passenger Vehicles)
The first place, the Haval H6, sold 352857 units
The reason why Haval H6 can dominate the SUV list for many years, in addition to the extremely high cost performance, the rich and wide variety of H6 product lines is also its key. Haval H6 currently adopts the sales strategy of the second and third generations, of which the second-generation model is mainly in the price range of 100,000, while the third-generation Haval H6 is positioned between 130,000 and 150,000 yuan. Not only that, the Haval H6 has also launched a number of derivative models such as the red and blue label version and the latest Haval H6S Sports Edition to fully meet the needs of different consumer groups. If Volkswagen has only one car called the Golf, then Haval also has only one car called the H6.
The second place, Changan CS75, sold 274742 vehicles
Compared with the "old fritters" Haval H6, the Second Rank Changan CS75 is still shallow. However, the annual sales that have risen year by year have slowly approached the throne of H6. It is worth mentioning that Changan just launched the second-generation CS75 model on February 28, which means that the new car product strength will be further improved. At present, the second generation of CS75PLUS pre-sale orders have exceeded 23575 units. Maybe this year's SUV list will produce a new champion.
The third place, Dongfeng Honda CR-V, sold 222325 units
The third-place CR-V is also the Ivy League in the domestic SUV list, selling more than 220,000 units in 2021, although it fell by 8.5% year-on-year, but it still does not affect it becoming the hottest joint venture SUV. Like Changan CS75, CR-V is also about to usher in its own replacement node, and at present, foreign netizens have drawn a hypothetical map of a new generation of CR-V, which refers to the new generation vezel (domestic counterpart Binzhi /XR-V) model, synchronizing Honda's latest family design style.
In the fourth place, FAW Toyota RAV4 was released, with sales of 203,410 units
Although the 2021 joint venture SUV brother is still the Honda CR-V next door, the Sales Gap of the Toyota RAV4 Rongfang is not large, only less than 20,000 units, and it is worth mentioning that it increased by 17.3% year-on-year. In fact, the growth of Toyota products in recent years is very rapid, since the replacement of the TNGA architecture, Toyota products to make up for the original mediocre appearance, weak power of the short board, coupled with the full popularity of hybrid dual engine, toyota's economic and durable characteristics to further enhance. Take the RAV4 Rongfang dual engine as an example, its tank of oil can run 1000 kilometers!
The fifth place, BYD Song series, sold 201682 vehicles
BYD Song series includes Song, Song PLUS, Song Pro and other models, involving power also covers including traditional power, plug-in hybrid, pure electric and many other categories, it sold 201682 vehicles in 2021, an increase of 12.7% year-on-year. Among them, the hottest model of the Song series is BYD Song PLUS DM-i, as one of the first new cars equipped with BYD DM-i technology, Song PLUS DM-i has become an unparalleled model in the same class with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.5L/100km and a pure electric mileage of 110km, and has naturally become one of the hottest hybrid SUVs in 2021.
In the sixth place, the Geely Boyue family, sold 191512 vehicles
Boyue was originally also a frequent visitor to the top three SUV lists, together with the Haval H6 and Changan CS75, which were called the three independent SUV masters. But now Bo Yue is gradually falling behind, and the gap with the other two is getting bigger and bigger. In terms of sales, it has slipped from fourth place last year to sixth place, and is only less than 100 XR-Vs ahead of seventh place. This may be due to Geely's recent few product upgrades to Boyue. However, the good news is that in October last year, Geely launched boyue X, with the addition of new models, I believe that boyue family sales will be able to stop the downward trend, with the new car aura, I hope to be able to return to the top of the SUV list this year.
In seventh place, Dongfeng Honda XR-V, with sales of 191417 units
XR-V and Binzhi (10th) are the only two small SUVs in the top ten models, which is not easy for Chinese people who like large spaces to achieve such results. Of course, this is mainly due to Honda's unique "magic seat" space layout, which maximizes the seating space in the car, and achieves the leapfrog performance of the compact SUV space that can be experienced in the size of a small SUV. On December 10, 2021, Dongfeng Honda XR-V also launched a more personalized obsidian version, further bringing more personalized choices to young consumers.
The eighth place, SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L, sold 185914 vehicles
After the extended wheelbase, Tiguan L promoted its positioning from a compact SUV to a mid-level SUV, which also made the original old rivals CR-V and RAV4 Rongfang no longer compete in the same level, of course, from the sales point of view, Tiguan L also opened a certain gap with these two. Despite this, Tiguan L is still the most capable European SUV, and as a product with an overall price range of 210,000-280,000 yuan, Tiguan L is also the second-highest-priced model on the list.
In the ninth place, the Tesla Model Y, sales 169853
On January 1, 2021, Tesla Model Y was officially listed in the Chinese market, and its rookie year achieved a good result of 169853 vehicles per year, ranking in the top ten of China's SUV sales list, and is the only pure electric SUV on the list. Tesla Model Y in the past year can be described as a scandal, in addition to its own internal work of the official price adjustment, the external public opinion is also emerging in an endless stream, but it is in this seemingly "internal and external troubles" environment, Tesla Model Y sales did not fall but rose, in September single month sales reached a staggering 33,000 vehicles, a record high. What's even more frightening is that Model Y not only won the honor of the best-selling new energy SUV, but also won the top spot in the high-end SUV market by beating the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC. As a newcomer who came out of nowhere, Model Y debuted on the first airborne, dare not say that it is a no-comer, but it is definitely unprecedented.
In the tenth place, Guangqi Honda Binzhi, sold 167815 vehicles
Somehow, as the big brother, Binzhi's sales in China are not as good as those of his brother XR-V. It should be noted that Binzhi has retained the design of honda Vezel intact, while the XR-V has undergone some localization. In fact, let's open the pattern, whether it is Binzhi or XR-V, the palms of the hands are meat, and in the final analysis, it is the Honda Vezel. If the two domestic cars are merged into vezel, its total sales will reach 359232, even surpassing the first Haval H6. Globally, since the launch of the first vezel in 2013, the cumulative global sales have reached 3.84 million. At present, Honda Vezel has launched the second generation of products in Japan, and it is expected that the new car will be completed and updated by the end of the year. At that time, it will also sell two vehicles through the two joint ventures of Dongfeng/Guangqi Honda.
Summary: Unlike the domestic car list, which is almost all joint venture cars, we can see many independent brands in the SUV list, and the ranking is very high. However, there is no single big scene, basically a car company only on the list of one model situation. Toyota Honda can still be seen in the joint venture camp, of which Honda has a total of three models in the top ten rankings, which is afraid to become the biggest winner. In fact, Haoying, which ranks 11th, is also a product of the Honda family. In addition, after the Model 3 entered the top ten of the car, the Tesla Model Y also successfully squeezed into the top ten of SUVs.
