I really didn't expect that after a month, the change in sales ranking would be so big!
After entering March, car companies have begun a new round of "hard work", always hoping to compete through sales. Recently, the Association released the latest car sales statistics. According to the data, China's auto retail sales in February 2022 were 1.246 million units, an increase of 4.2% year-on-year and a 40% month-on-month decline, which should be the worst month of the year, of course, this is also understandable, after all, february has fewer days and a New Year's holiday.
However, it is worth mentioning that the performance of the new energy market is quite excellent, with sales of 272,000 vehicles in February, an increase of 180.5% year-on-year, which shows that consumer demand for new energy vehicles is rising. From the specific data point of view, the ranking of car companies in February can be called "shuffling", of which the first place is still FAW-Volkswagen, February sales reached 104,940 vehicles, becoming the only manufacturer in the list to break through 100,000 vehicles, it seems that the position of this champion is really no one can shake.
Surprisingly, BYD rose to the second place in February, its February sold a total of 89102 vehicles, a year-on-year surge of 340.4%, this achievement can be said to be very scary, and the reason why it can achieve such good results, its new energy products are indispensable, especially the DM-i series models are in short supply, it is reported that BYD will launch more new models equipped with DM-i system, so will it create a greater sales miracle?
In contrast, SAIC Volkswagen and SAIC-GM are somewhat depressed, year-on-year decline, of which SAIC Volkswagen fell by 19.0%, the only relief is that it has retained the third place position, but with its strength in the new energy market, it is still expected to regain the second place position. As for SAIC-GM, it was directly squeezed out of the top three by BYD, and the sales volume in November was only 73,021 vehicles, which should surprise many people!
Also "unambitious" is Geely Automobile, the title of "independent brother" was directly robbed, Geely Automobile sales in February was 68627 vehicles, sales are only equivalent to about half of last month, down 1.8% year-on-year. Compared with BYD, it is also not strong enough in the field of new energy, although the new energy part has Geely, Geometry, Lynk & Co, Extreme Krypton, Ruilan Automobile, but it always feels that none of them is particularly "sharp", so it is reasonable to be pulled down by BYD.
In terms of Japanese brands, there are Dongfeng Nissan and FAW Toyota in the top ten list, of which Dongfeng Nissan sold 63211 vehicles, Xuanyi is still its biggest contributor to sales of 28519 vehicles, Xintianlai sales of 10268 vehicles, Qashqai sales of 9743 vehicles, the failure of the new generation of X-Trail, is one of the main reasons for the decline in Dongfeng Nissan sales. On the contrary, FAW Toyota benefited from the ultra-high market recognition of its models, and its sales increased by 23.0% year-on-year, successfully exceeding 50,000 units.
In the camp of independent brands, in addition to BYD and Geely Automobile on the list, there are Changan Automobile in seventh place, SAIC-GM-Wuling in ninth place and Great Wall Motors in tenth place. Among them, Due to the shortage of chips, many car owners are waiting in line to pick up the car; while SAIC-GM-Wuling can always remain in the top 10, and Hongguang MINI EV is the first to take the lead; as for Great Wall Motors, it relies on multi-brand and multi-model models and gradually stands in a position.
Finally, none of the luxury brands were on the list in February, and there was a significant decline compared with the previous month's performance, which was the economic reason? Or are consumers more rational? But no matter what, the changes in February are obvious to all, and the competition in the market is becoming more and more intense, let's witness it together!
