According to the latest retail sales statistics of the Automobile Market Research Branch of the China Automobile Dealers Association (CCIRC), the retail sales of the domestic passenger car market reached 1.246 million units in February 2022, an increase of 4.2% year-on-year, a decrease of 40.0% month-on-month, and a cumulative retail sales of 3.324 million units from January to February.
Sales in February have dropped significantly compared with January, the production lines of major manufacturers will be reduced during the Spring Festival holiday, and consumers will usually complete car purchases on the eve of the Spring Festival, which will lead to a significant decline in sales in February compared to January. With the return to normalcy after the Spring Festival in various places, this decline in sales is only a short-term problem.
Top 30 in fuel vehicle sales in February
As can be seen from the February sales list, the sales of most models have dropped significantly compared with January, and although Xuanyi is still at the top of the list, it has less than 30,000 vehicles. In addition, the Haval H6, which has long dominated the sales list of SUV models, also gave up its own seat, and the Honda CR-V rose to the top of the SUV model sales with a record of 21745 units.
Not surprisingly, Xuanyi is sitting firmly in the top spot, although the data of 28519 vehicles in February has dropped sharply compared with January, which is mainly related to the market environment, and the overall market sales of Chinese automobiles in February have decreased compared with the previous month, and Xuanyi is naturally affected by it.
Langyi's sales like Xuanyi have also decreased significantly compared with January, but they still rank second, which means not only in the field of cars, but also in the overall automobile market, it is second only to Xuanyi.
The overall decline in the market has also affected the sales of luxury cars, of which the sales of the 5 series and the E-class have dropped sharply in February. In addition, it can be seen from the sales volume that in this environment, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Audi A4L are the best-selling models among their respective brands.
Honda CR-V is also an example of contrarian growth, compared with January, the growth rate is more than the Song PLUS new energy series, although in recent years, Honda CR-V's monthly sales have not reached the top of the list, but its stable sales performance has made it a best-seller.
I haven't seen Haval H6 sales below 20,000 units in a long time, and although 18,790 units is also a beautiful enough number, it is somewhat inferior compared to before. As a benchmark of the same level of Chinese brands, haval H6's hard power and mass base are still there, and it is hoped that it can win back another city in the future.
In January, Changan CS75PLUS rushed to the second place in the SUV list with sales of more than 30,000, while February sales were not satisfactory compared with the previous one. However, the second-generation CS75PLUS was officially listed at the end of February, which means that the February sales data is only the result of short-term adjustments, and there will inevitably be new sales growth points after the new product is listed.
Buick GL8 sales of 9,090 units in February have also been affected by the overall decline in the market, and I believe this is only a short-term adjustment. First of all, in the MPV market, the product richness is much lower than other markets, and there are not so many products that can directly affect GL8.
In February, sales of the Trumpchi M8 reached 5,001 units, doubling compared to January. The sales of the same brother Trumpchi M6 have declined, and the sales of the two cars have almost reversed compared with before.
Xena's sales in February were not much different from the previous month, reaching 4120 units, which can be said to be unaffected by the market environment. Sai Na was just listed at the end of October last year, and in just a few months, it was able to break into the top three in the MPV field, and its overall strength should not be underestimated.
In February, the sales volume of new energy vehicles was TOP30
According to data from the Association of Passenger Vehicles, retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles reached 272,000 units in February, also down from January. However, among them, the sales of BYD products showed a firm trend, although the sales of individual models also declined slightly, but the overall level remained at a high level.
Hongguang MINIEV in the overall sales ranking of the market can enter the top three, in the new energy market for the first, as the second, third place replacement, so far no one can really shake the status of Hongguang MINIEV. February's sales showed a relatively stable performance compared with January, and the difference between the two is not much, although this is not comparable to the sales volume of Hongguang MINIEV at its peak, but the heat of the car has not decreased.
If Song PLUS New Energy is placed in a separate new energy market, it may not have the same high attention as Hongguang MINIEV and Model 3, but the monthly sales have been in a state of steady rise, inadvertently rushing to the second position, muffled and making a fortune.
Song PLUS new energy compared with January sales have a slight increase, February sales of 22754 vehicles, in the overall car market sales cooling in February, can rise against the trend, it can be seen that Song PLUS new energy in the domestic consumers in the heart of the weight is constantly increasing. Moreover, as a new energy vehicle, it is even more difficult.
Qin PLUS New Energy is the same as Song PLUS New Energy, it also belongs to the kind of dew that is not the same as the mountain dew, but the sales volume has always been at the forefront of the market. The overall sales volume of BYD products is a stable word, no matter how the market changes, its sales are not directly affected.
Similar to the steady performance of BYD's car system, the ideal ONE still handed over a sales report card of 8414 vehicles in February in the overall decline of the car market, which also showed a stable character. In addition, this number is also a fairly good achievement in the new forces to build cars.
In addition, there is another data worth looking at, AITO asked the M5 to sell 1061 vehicles in February, such a sales figure does not seem to be surprising. However, it should be known that the M5 was only officially announced at the end of February, and the mass delivery was officially started on March 5. From this dimension, the figure of 1061 vehicles is not light.
