SAIC Volkswagen:
Sales in February were 90,600 units
In February, SAIC Volkswagen sold 90,600 units, up 79.4% year-on-year.

At the same time, although the market image of passat has declined due to crash tests and other events, the monthly sales performance of the model is still very good, coupled with the hot sales of Volkswagen Tiguan L, Volkswagen Tuon and other models, which eventually made saic-Volkswagen's monthly sales reach 90,000 vehicles.

Uncle Che summed up
From the current sales performance, BYD's market performance is the most worthy of affirmation, of course, no matter which car brand, behind its sales growth, it must be excellent product performance, and now the elimination of the automobile market is accelerating, some car companies have been marginalized, and even have been eliminated, so only companies that adhere to research and development and seriously build cars can stand out in the cruel competition. 2022 has just begun, there will be a variety of opportunities and challenges, who can stand out in the market competition, it depends on how the major car companies move, let's wait and see.
