Today is the last issue of the "2021 Domestic Best Selling" series, let's take a look at how the domestic MPV market performed last year. Although major car companies have launched their own new MPV models in recent years, from the list point of view, it is still the old faces, and the status of the champion and runner-up is unbreakable, which are Wuling Hongguang series and Buick GL8. The suspense began with the battle for the third place, and finally the Trumpchi M8 overwhelmed Capgemini with an advantage of less than 4,000 units to grab the last seat of the top three. However, it is worth mentioning that although Capgemini ranks fourth, its sales have only doubled by 3.5 times, which is the largest year-on-year increase (345.8%).

The first place, Wuling Hongguang, sold 252214 vehicles
In fact, there is still some controversy about Wuling Hongguang's inclusion in the MPV ranking, because some people think that Wuling Hongguang is a micro-surface type. But then again, the MPV model is ultimately an evolution of the early van, so it is acceptable to say that Wuling Hiroshi is an MPV here. However, this has led to the suspense of the champion in the MPV list is basically gone, you can see the annual sales of Wuling Hongguang 250,000 levels, nearly 100,000 units ahead of the second place GL8, and 200,000 units beyond other follow-up models, which is not an order of magnitude competition at all.
The second place, the Buick GL8, sold 161308 units
The same second-place GL8 also has no suspense, and in China GL8 has almost become synonymous with MPV. Any MPV came out, more or less with some gimmicks calling GL8, but from the sales point of view, GL8 has not yet encountered a competitor that can bring real threats to itself. In fact, GL8 is only sold in the domestic market, or it is currently only sold in China, because overseas markets have been discontinued. In order to consolidate the domestic market, Buick has continuously launched new models of GL8 in the past year, including GL8 Evia, GL8 ES Luzun Edition and GL8 Land Business Class Edition. Although the Buick brand, or the entire American brand, has continued to decline in the domestic market in recent years, these seem to have little impact on GL8, and it still achieved a year-on-year growth of 2.9% in 2021.
The third place, Trumpchi M8, sold 66,153 vehicles
In fact, the MPV competition really started from the third place, and the Trumpchi M8 rose to the third place with a growth rate of 95.2%. Today, it is also a benchmark model of the autonomous MPV. At the end of last year (December 26), GAC Trumpchi M8 also added a master flagship model priced at 289,800 yuan, becoming a new luxury choice for the M8 family. On the basis of the master version, the new car adopts a two-color body with a stronger sense of exclusivity, and is optimized for the front grille, front bumper and rear bumper, equipped with exclusive PVD rims, with an exclusive "Master" LOGO, highlighting the noble status of the model.
The fourth place, Wuling Capgemini, sold 62,616 vehicles
In November 2020, Wuling Capgemini, the first "big four-seat household MPV" under Wuling Silver Label, was officially listed, and by November 2021, the cumulative sales volume exceeded 90,000 units. Last year's year-on-year sales increased by a staggering 345.8% year-on-year, and sales increased by nearly 3.5 times. Not surprisingly, by the end of this year's MPV rankings, Capgemini may shake the position of big brother Trumpchi M8, and may even approach GL8. In fact, this is Wuling's MPV model in the strict sense. Perhaps deliberately distinguished from Wuling Hongguang, Capgemini not only replaced the new silver label, but also adopted the latest "wing movement aesthetics" design concept in the styling design, with the original "big four-seat" design, with a "4 + X" three rows of 6 seats of smart seat layout. At the same time, Capgemini also adopts the highest standards of BIQ-4 level of the general global manufacturing system, including the selection of large areas of high-strength steel materials and thermoformed parts, and strives to bring safe and reliable quality to every home user.
The fifth place, Dongfeng Honda Ai Lishen, sold 52214 vehicles
When it comes to Honda's MPV, the first thing that comes to mind is whether it is hired by Hiromoto Odyssey, in fact, in terms of sales, Higashimoto Airison is the best-selling Honda MPV. On December 30 last year, Dongfeng Honda carried out a mid-term redesign and listing of Alishen, and the new car has significantly upgraded the internal and external design details and configurations. Its realized model has performed very well, the stable temperament of the more business complements the style of the own appearance kit, allowing you to drive a very face, but the new Alissen is upgraded on this basis, the first of which is the new matrix grille, supplemented by chrome embellishment, making it more visually impactful, as well as the fully renovated front/rear headlights, the new structure and the addition of a fashionable flowing water turn signal effect, more eye-catching than the current model.
The 6-10 places are the Dongfeng Fengxing Series, Trumpchi M6, Odyssey, JAC Ruifeng and Baojun 730. Among them, Trumpchi M6 can be seen as a miniature version of Trumpchi M8, and Odyssey and Alexandra can also be regarded as brothers on the same stage. With the launch of Wuling Capgemini, Baojun 730's own Internet celebrity explosive attributes have also been replaced, and the ranking has also slipped to 10th.
In fact, last year there were still a lot of new MPV products launched, including GAC Toyota's Xena, Beijing Hyundai Kustu, Dongfeng Yueda Kia Kahua and SAIC Roewe iMAX8, it can be said that each is a heavyweight player, we have previously conducted a detailed inventory of these cars, interested netizens can click to jump to read. This also leads to this year's 2022 MPV may stage a fairy fight, whether the veteran is still holding his position, or the newcomer can achieve the dark horse counter-killing, let us reveal the answer in next year's MPV sales inventory.
