The Haval H6, which has dominated the SUV sales list for a long time, finally tasted defeat, and in February, the crown of sales fell to BYD, and the "National God Car" H6 only ranked third, and the runner-up position fell next to Honda CR-V. The excitement does not stop there, Tesla Model Y ranked among the top five, soaring 301.6% year-on-year, with monthly sales of 12499 vehicles surpassing Toyota RAV4, Changan CS75, Honda XR-V, Honda Binzhi and other familiar faces, locking in the fourth place. It is worth mentioning that BYD "good things come in pairs", BYD Tang sold 10,026 vehicles in February, ranking tenth in the sales list.
The master moves, the moves are fatal, and the SUV sales list in February is full of drama, come to see the summit strength of the "new branch", the breakthrough tricks of the "dark horses". (Note: The data comes from the Multiplication Association)
BYD is too fierce to grab the haval H6 pin crown
In the past February, BYD has been in the limelight. BYD Song sold 24,500 units, up 298.8% year-on-year, leaving the Honda CR-V and Haval H6 behind. In fact, it has been a long time since the Haval H6 secured the SUV pin crown, and such a strong opponent has not appeared. Previously, Changan CS75 and Geely Boyue had briefly challenged the championship position, but in the end they did not beat H6.
This time BYD Song can be ranked first, Song PLUS DM-i model continues to sell hard, it is reported that its bicycle sales of nearly 20,000 units. Coupled with the joint efforts of other models such as the Song Pro DM-i, BYD Song has become the best-selling SUV model. It can be seen that BYD has impressed many consumers with its leading technology in the field of new energy.
However, the haval H6's sudden lag is not due to the decline in product strength. Great Wall Motor said that due to the insufficient supply of body electronic stability systems (ESP) caused by limited production capacity, sales of many of its models have been affected. In other words, once the production capacity of H6 keeps up again, it is difficult to say whether the sales champion is still NOT BYD Song.
In addition to BYD Song, BYD Tang also ranked among the top ten in the SUV sales list, with monthly sales of 10,002 units, a year-on-year increase of 677.8%. Compared with 1289 vehicles in the same period last year, BYD Tang's sales data can be said to be quite amazing. This is mainly due to the addition of The Tang DM-i model after BYD's redesign, which meets the needs of the car with reduced fuel consumption and is naturally favored by consumers.
The Tesla Model Y squeezed into the top five, and an uphill battle was inevitable
The advantages of new energy vehicles are constantly emerging, whether it is BYD, which has won two seats in the sales list, or Tesla, which has squeezed into the top five, it seems to be supporting the fact that "those who win the new energy market win the world." ”
In particular, it is worth mentioning that Tesla Model Y not only ranked fourth in the SUV list with monthly sales of 18593 units, but also surpassed Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5, BMW X3 and other models, and won the first place in high-end SUV sales. From January to February this year, Tesla Model Y's cumulative sales of nearly 35,000 vehicles, a year-on-year surge of 457.3%, far behind mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and other brands of hot models.
However, buying a Tesla Model Y is not an easy task. On the one hand, the price of Tesla Model Y is unstable, and the price of the Model Y that has risen again and again has increased by more than 30,000 yuan compared with the end of 2021. When exactly should I get started? What buys will turn into "leeks"? The unpredictable Tesla makes it impossible to start. On the other hand, model Y's long delivery cycle bookings may have to wait for nearly half a year to pick up the car. It can be seen that the sales volume of Tesla Model Y is far from reaching the peak, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future. Will the future crown be an uphill battle between BYD and Tesla? We'll see.
The first two months of defeat, what happened to these models?
Although February was affected by the Spring Festival holiday, some models fell more month-on-month. However, based on the sales data from January to February, it can be found that there are not many models that have declined year-on-year, and only a few cars have performed poorly. So, others are growing, why are these models falling?
As can be seen from the sales list, the previously outstanding Changan CS75, the cumulative sales volume in the first two months of this year was 44419 vehicles, down 39.9% year-on-year, ranking first among the top ten models. Puzzlingly, the Changan CS75 sold 32,000 units in January and only 12,000 units in February. Brother Reel speculated that in addition to the impact of the Spring Festival holiday, the large difference in sales is also related to the listing of the second-generation Changan CS75PLUS at the end of February. Because the new car compared with the previous generation of models, the product strength has been significantly improved, it is said that buying new is not buying old, which will naturally attract some consumers to hold the currency and wait and see. Moreover, since the opening of the pre-sale of Changan CS75PLUS, the orders have exceeded 20,000 units, and once the capacity climb is solved, the follow-up sales performance should also be quite optimistic.
In addition, it is worth noting the Honda CR-V and Honda XR-V, which fell by 9.6% and 6.0% respectively in the first two months of this year, which are also the few models in the sales list to decline. As we all know, Honda CR-V and XR-V market segments of the "evergreen tree", however, perhaps the model has a long time on the market, the current lack of growth momentum. Although the Honda CR-V is also the highest-selling model in the joint venture SUV, in the face of the challenge of autonomous models, it is necessary to speed up the pace of new car introduction, otherwise it is likely to be pulled down!
As the saying goes, there is no eternal winner. Whether it is the Haval H6, or Tiguan and CR-V, they were once the "kings" of sales of independent SUVs and joint venture SUVs, but in the face of the challenges of latecomers, there is still a possibility of failure. Only by continuing to maintain high competitiveness, constantly upgrading their own product strength, and conforming to the trend of electrification can they have a place in the sales list. So, how long can BYD Song stay in the pin crown position? Consumers will tell us the answer.
