Entering January 2022, the European new energy sales data came out, because it has just passed the December shopping tide, consumer enthusiasm has declined, so in January each model has declined month-on-month, which is indeed a normal phenomenon, and there is no need to worry too much, after all, the European market has launched a variety of preferential policies for new energy vehicles, and consumer acceptance of new energy vehicles is relatively high. So what are the top 10 models on the list? Let's take stock today. In January, Europe's best selling "top ten new energy vehicles": Kia ranked first, Tesla did not make the list
NO.1: Kia Niro EV
Sales: 4,035 units
The Kia Niro EV is a compact SUV with a lot of concept car elements in its exterior that looks different from the existing Kia models. In particular, the heterochromatic treatment of the C column looks very stylish.
The interior is driver-centric, with two large LCD screens and a new double-spoke steering wheel looking novel. In terms of power, it provides three options: hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and pure electricity. In the future, this car may be introduced to domestic sales, and if the price is right, it may help the Kia brand in the downturn in China.
NO.2: Peugeot 3008 PHEV
Sales: 3,615 units
The Peugeot 3008 PHEV won the second place in the European market, with sales of 3,615 units in January. The car is also sold domestically, but the name was changed to 4008 PHEV. In terms of power, it is equipped with a plug-in and mixing system composed of 1.6T+ electric motors, with a combined maximum power of 221kW and a peak torque of 520Nm, and the transmission system matches 8AT. However, because the price of the car is too high, the starting price is 249,700 yuan, which also deters many consumers.
NO.3: Audi Q4e-tron
Sales: 3,585 units
The Q4e-tron is another pure electric SUV based on Audi's MEB platform, which continues Audi's consistent family design language in appearance, and the matrix headlights on both sides have a very high degree of recognition after being lit. The interior part uses a digital cockpit, which has a prominent sense of layering, but after watching more, it does not feel much fresh. In terms of power, in the future, Q4e-tron will be introduced to China, and it is expected to provide three kinds of power: 35 e-tron, 40 e-tron, and 50 e-tron quattro.
NO.4: Renault Zoe
Sales: 3,432 units
Although Renault has withdrawn from the Chinese market early, it is still relatively popular in its own European region. For example, this Renault Zoe, with its super high cost performance, has won the love of consumers, and once won the best-selling electric vehicle in Europe with sales of more than 100,000 in 2020.
NO.5: Volvo XC40 PHEV
Sales: 3,425 units
The concept of the Volvo brand is also in line with the current new energy trend, and its XC40 PHEV model has received quite good feedback in the European market. In China, although the XC40 does not have a PHEV model, it has a pure electric model. However, the starting price of 257,000 yuan after the subsidy does not seem to be much competitive.
NO.6: Modern Ioniq 5
Sales: 3407 units
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 was born out of hyundai's E-GMP all-electric architecture and was the first car on the platform. The exterior is sci-fi, simple and not avant-garde. The sharp line cut gives it a bit of retro. In terms of power, the hyundai Ioniq 5 has a total of three power versions of long-endurance rear-drive, standard endurance front-drive and long-endurance four-wheel drive, with a top-endurance NEDC mileage of 600 kilometers, with a battery of 72.6KW/h, the maximum power is 225KW, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 5.2 seconds.
NO.7: Hyundai Kona EV
Sales: 3,371 units
Kona EV can be seen as a pure electric version of Onsino, this kind of oil-to-electricity products in the country is a dead end, but consumers in Europe do not seem to think so, so the car also ranked seventh on the list.
NO.8: Fiat 500e
Sales: 3,339 units
As a small car loved by mass consumers, Fiat will have a following in any era. In the era of electric vehicles, this small car is also changing with the trend, the most obvious is that the front grille adopts a closed treatment, and the lower surround is a ventilation hole that helps the motor dissipate heat.
NO.9: Dacia Spring
Sales: 3,275 units
Dacia has always been a cost-effective brand in Europe, such as this Dacia Spring, equivalent to less than 100,000 yuan, which is particularly different in the context of the generally high price of cars in Europe. Of course, the cheap price means that the product will be relatively flat, the maximum power of the motor is only 33kW, the peak torque is 125Nm, and the WLTP cruising range is 305km.
NO.10: Volkswagen ID.4
Sales: 3247 units
Volkswagen is one of the fastest car companies to lay out the new energy track, and in the period when others are still engaged in oil and electricity perfunctory, Volkswagen has created a MEB platform. With the ID.4 born of MEB, Volkswagen has gained consumer recognition, with sales of 3247 vehicles in January. At the same time, in China, its sales are also rising steadily.
summary
The above is the top 10 of the new energy vehicle sales list in Europe in January, which has many unfamiliar models, which is also the difference between Chinese and foreign consumers. It is believed that in the future, with the gradual growth of independent brands, there is a high probability that domestic cars can be seen on the European market rankings.
