According to the latest data released by the Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the past February, due to a series of factors such as the Spring Festival holiday and chip shortage, China's auto market has experienced a sharp decline from the previous month.
After careful data analysis and comparison, the cover news reporter found that in addition to the decline in sales, there were also a number of unexpected events in the car market in February, such as BYD surpassing SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC GM and other giants to ascend to the second place in single-month sales; Haval H6 fell to the altar, and single-month sales fell to the fourth.
BYD finished runners-up
According to the data, BYD sold 89,102 vehicles in February, surpassing SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC-GM, Dongfeng Nissan, Geely, Changan and other car companies in one fell swoop, and ascending to the throne of the runner-up in sales in the month. It is worth mentioning that in January this year, BYD was only ranked 9th in the monthly sales list.
Relevant data show that since the release of DM-i super hybrid technology in January last year, BYD's sales have been bullish. According to the data, at present, the technology has been applied to byBYD's Qin, Song, Tang and other models, and has been well received by users. At the same time, this year is also a big year for BYD's products, at present, the yuan PLUS, Song MAX DM-i, destroyer 05 three new cars have been listed, follow-up seals, frigate 07 and so on put on the market, they will also help BYD to sprint to a higher goal.
The Haval H6 fell to the altar
H6 can be described as a myth in the Chinese car market, has occupied the throne of SUV sales champion for N consecutive months, and it is precisely because of its outstanding performance that Great Wall Motors has independently become a car brand focusing on SUVs.
But just this past February, the Haval H6 finally fell off the altar, with a monthly sales of less than 20,000 vehicles, surpassed by Honda CR-V and BYD Song, and only ranked third in the SUV sales list that month. At the same time, in terms of data, the sales volume of Haval H6 in February is nearly 6,000 vehicles compared with the first-place BYD Song. It seems that if the Haval H6 wants to return to its championship throne, it needs to spend more effort and effort on products and marketing.
Chinese brands dominate the list
Finally, let's talk about the hottest new energy vehicle market at present. According to the data, in February, a total of 5 car companies sold more than 10,000 new energy vehicles, of which BYD, SAIC-GM-Wuling, and Tesla China ranked in the top three of the list with 86,669 units, 28,713 vehicles, and 23,200 vehicles, respectively.
At the same time, we also noticed that among the top ten car companies in the new energy sales list in February, Chinese brands occupied nine seats, which were BYD, Wuling, Geely, Chery, GAC Eian, Ideal, Nezha, Great Wall and Xiaopeng. The three major brands of Weilai, Changan and SAIC Passenger Vehicle also entered the top 15 of this list. In view of the excellent performance of these brands, we have reason to believe that with the increasing popularity of new energy vehicles, Chinese car companies will achieve "curve overtaking" and will turn from ideals to reality.
