With the easing of chip shortages, in February, the peak season of traditional new car sales, the supply of new cars of various brands has also returned to normal, and the overall market has also shown a warming trend. According to the latest data released by the Association of Passenger Vehicles, the domestic narrow passenger car market sales reached 1.250 million units in February, of which 597,000 cars were sold and 587,000 SUVs were sold, and despite the impact of the epidemic, there was still a slight increase of 4.5% year-on-year sales.
Specific to manufacturers, the sales pattern in February has changed a lot. The "North and South Volkswagen", which has long been working together to occupy the top two new car sales in China, was successfully dismantled by BYD, and BYD Automobile successfully won the second place in monthly sales with sales of 89,102 units.
BYD took the second place and doubled its sales
At the same time, BYD also successfully surpassed Changan and became the leader of its own brand in February. Of course, the overall weak performance of SAIC is also an important reason for BYD's success in ascending to the top, we can see that manufacturers like SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC-GM, SAIC-GM Wuling and other manufacturers have experienced a large decline in sales in February.
Byd's success is due to the birth of DM-i super hybrid, which has allowed BYD to successfully harvest a wave of sales and a win-win situation in word of mouth. The strong momentum also allowed BYD to achieve a year-on-year increase of 340.4% in February, several times higher than the same period last year.
In fact, it is not limited to the new energy market, even if it is looking at the entire new car market, BYD's current overall sales are not to be underestimated.
Specific to the segment of the model field, occupying the top five car sales is still the "old face" that everyone is familiar with. They are Xuanyi, Xinlangyi, Hongguang MINI, BYD Qin, and Corolla. But then again, BYD jumped into the top five is also expected.
After all, after the DM-i hybrid upper body, BYD Qin has become the most popular car of its own brand, and entered the fourth place in the car sales list with sales of 24501 units in February, and the sales volume has increased by 1289.7% compared with the same period last year!
However, some people are happy and some people are worried, as a model that once could rank at the top of the sales list, Tianlai actually lagged behind to the 15th place, which is also very surprising to everyone, which also shows that Tianlai and Xuanyi and Langyi are getting farther and farther away, and gradually becoming strangers.
The rise of independent brands, the market share gradually increased
With the rise of a number of independent brand SUVs, the aura of Haval H6 has gradually dimmed, and the dominant sales volume that H6 has shown in the past naturally cease to exist. Therefore, it will appear that BYD Song unconsciously appeared in the first place in the February SUV sales list, ranking first with the sales volume of 24532 vehicles and the year-on-year increase of 298.8%, with sales data to support, it is more proof that BYD Song does have an incomparable charm of the same level in the 100,000-yuan level compact SUV market.
In addition to cars and SUVs, the MPV sales list is also a major concern. Although Wuling Hongguang and Buick GL8 still firmly occupy the first two places in MPV sales. But the performance of Trumpchi M8 is still very amazing, as the model of its own brand high hopes Trumpchi M8 obviously did not disappoint everyone, although January sales are not satisfactory, but in February immediately caught up with back, with 5001 units of sales to occupy the third place in the month's MPV sales list, up 87.5% year-on-year, this is still gratifying.
On the whole, whether it is a car, SUV or MPV independent brand heat is rising, in February independent brand market share reached 29.2%, BYD became the new runner-up, up 340.4% year-on-year, Geely Automobile squeezed into the top five, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Great Wall Motors, Changan Automobile and Chery Automobile also have better performance, especially Chery Automobile rose 21.8%, which shows that independent brands are still expected in the future.
