Recently, the Association of Automobile Manufacturers released the new car sales data for February this year, with a total of 1.25 million new cars sold, an increase year-on-year, but due to the Factors of the Spring Festival holiday, the month-on-month decline was obvious. At the same time, the association announced the SUV sales ranking in February, which is very interesting that the Haval H6 is not the champion.
February SUV sales rankings
As can be seen from the list, BYD's Song models ranked first in the list, with monthly sales of 24,532 units, up nearly 300% from February last year. The second-ranked Honda CR-V sold 22,260 units, which is very close to Song and has a year-on-year increase of nearly 50%. The Haval H6 sold only 18,790 units, a significant year-on-year decline. The fourth-ranked Tesla Model Y also performed well, almost the same as the H6. There is also BYD's Tang model on the list, which sold more than 10,000 units. H6's old rival, CS75, also performed weakly, ranking sixth with a monthly sales of 12,297 units.
H6 lost its laurels
Combined with haval's own sales data, it explained: Because of the ESP chips supplied by Bosch, the sales data has declined significantly. At the same time, February is the Spring Festival period, and it is normal for sales to decline, but the year-on-year decline is so much, which may really be the reason for the chip shortage.
Haval H6 currently on sale includes the national tide version, the third generation of H6, H6S in the statistics of sales should also be included. There are nearly 20 models, priced from less than 100,000 yuan to more than 150,000 yuan. There is also a special edition of Supreme+, which has a more exaggerated exterior shape.
BYD "killed crazy"
In the February sales rankings, BYD occupied 2 seats, and the Song model won the crown. The Song series includes Song, Song Pro, Song PLUS, Song MAX and other models. To a certain extent, it is advantageous, after all, there are many models.
We guess that in the Song series, the DM-i models of Song Pro and Song PLUS have made a great contribution, and since the listing, they have been in a state of being difficult to find, and if the production capacity keeps up, then the surge in sales is also a natural thing. Previously, BYD's sales can now get a commission of 20,000, 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a month, and the true or false is unknown, but it is enough to prove the hot sales degree of BYD.
In terms of products, since the DM-i system was launched, it has received a lot of attention, and in some areas, it can obtain a license quota as a new energy source. At the same time, the fuel consumption under the condition of power loss is not high, taking Song Pro as an example, the fuel consumption in the lowest charge state is 4.4-4.5L/100km.
GO Chejun comments: BYD's product strength improvement is obvious to all, so it is well deserved to win the championship. The probability of Haval H6 being affected by the chip is also very high, if it can be solved, then the sales in March will pick up, and who can rank first at that time is very worth looking forward to.
