As one of the most important auto markets in the world, the US car market is also the existence of a weather vane, and the preferences of American consumers also directly affect the product planning of manufacturers. In terms of fuel vehicles, pickup truck models occupy half of the US market, while Tesla is thriving in the field of new energy.
According to the data of goodcarbadcar, a car sales tracking agency, the US market sold 14.954 million new cars in 2021, and the total amount has been far exceeded by the mainland, but what are the characteristics of the US auto market in the whole year of 2021, and look at the analysis of Yiche.
2021 U.S. full-year fuel vehicle sales
Ford F-Series pickup
Dodge RAM pickup
Chevrolet Sorod
From the list of fuel vehicles, it can be seen that the status of pickup truck models in the hearts of American consumers is unshakable, and the top three sales are pickup truck models all year round, and 2021 is no exception. This is directly related to the demand for cars used by American consumers, and the wide diaspora makes car owners prefer to buy enough daily necessities at one time, and the practicality of pickup truck models is highlighted.
In the purchase of Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge and other American local brands are deeply rooted in the hearts of local consumers, of course, there are some Japanese brand pickup trucks also occupy a part of the market, but the overall total amount is far less than the American brand pickup trucks.
Pickup trucks are often the image of tool cars in the minds of Chinese consumers, and only users in specific regions and specific industries will prefer pickup truck models, which is different from the motivation of American consumers to buy cars. With the increase in the popularity of the Great Wall Cannon in recent years, pickup trucks have also gained a little more playful attributes in China, and have also attracted a group of car owners.
Toyota RAV4
Honda CR-V
In addition to this pickup model, in fact, the preferences of American consumers and Chinese consumers are consistent to a certain extent, and SUV models are also quite popular. For example, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and other models are selling quite well in the United States, and the above models are also favored in the Chinese market. The slight difference is that in addition to the two compact SUVs, medium and large SUVs such as the Grand Cherokee and Explorer are actually selling well in the United States, which is different from the Chinese market.
Although Chinese consumers also favor SUV with more space, domestic sales are not as hot as in the United States in terms of sales, and compact SUVs still dominate. In addition, in the list, you can see that the Wrangler, an SUV model with playful attributes, is also selling well in the United States.
Toyota Camry
Honda Civic
Toyota Corolla
Compared with pickup trucks and SUVs, the proportion of cars is much smaller, and only four of the top 20 models sold are on the list. All four models are Japanese brands, Camry, Civic, Corolla, Accord, and the new cars are also popular in China.
Subaru Foresters
Subaru Is Proud
As can be seen from the list, none of the best-selling German brands in China has entered the top 20 sales list. American consumers are quite fond of Japanese brands, and even subaru, which is more niche in China, has two cars on the list. Judging from the sales of the two cars, on average, each car can sell 12,000 units per month, which is quite good.
Annual sales of new energy vehicles in the United States in 2021
It can be seen from the new energy list that the environment of the NEW ENERGY VEHICLE market in the United States and the Environment in the Chinese market are more obvious, which is not only reflected in the total amount of the new energy market, but also in the richness of the brand and the richness of the products. Judging from the list, among the top 20 models of new energy, there are pure electric, plug-in hybrid models and hydrogen-powered models, which seem to be very rich in power types. But if you look closely, in addition to the sales of the first few is indeed enough, the data of the last few is not so beautiful, which can see the difference in the overall sales volume of different markets.
Tesla Model 3
Tesla Model Y
In the new energy list, Tesla Model Y/3 became the first and second, which is not surprising, the above two cars are not only in the United States, but also in China are also good sales products in new energy models. However, as Tesla's competitor Lucid begins to deliver new cars, and another new energy vehicle company, RICIIAN, is also eyeing the tiger, the pattern of the new energy market in the United States will change.
The Ford Mustang Mach E has been on the market in the U.S. for more than a year, and sales are gaining momentum. Although the gap between the data and the top three is still obvious, the ranking has caught up with the star products in the subdivision listing. In addition, ford mustang Mach E, as a pioneer of traditional car brands entering the new energy market, can achieve such results in one year, which is already quite good.
Volkswagen ID.4
Among the many new energy models, although the total sales of the Volkswagen ID.4 are not high, only 16,745 units. However, the ID.4 has not been on the market in the United States for a long time, and according to the data, the sales volume of the car is still in the climbing stage, and there may be better performance in the future.
Toyota Mirai
In addition, the categories of products in the US new energy market are also different from other markets, although the same is dominated by pure electric, but often the sales of plug-in hybrid products in other markets will not be less. However, in the list, plug-in hybrid models are much less, and plug-in hybrid models and sales are counted as tails in major markets around the world.
In addition, hydrogen energy vehicles, which are rare in China, can also enter the top 20 sales list. For example, the Toyota Mirai, although the data point of view 2629 units is not beautiful, but it is already higher than the sales in Japan. Although hydrogen energy is environmentally friendly enough, hydrogen refueling stations are far less popular than gas stations, which also limits their development.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
Toyota Prius
Toyota Leaf
Modern Ani Kr
In the data of new energy vehicles, some different versions of models are uniformly grouped together. For example, in the list of Toyota Prius, Hyundai Ani Kr and Nissan Leaf, some products are pure electric models, there are also plug-in hybrid versions, but the sales data is uniformly drawn together.
