2021 has passed a long time, so the major sales data statistics have already been released. Take the mid-size SUV sales list that I pay more attention to, the 10 best-selling models in 2021 are: Tesla Model Y (first), Volkswagen Tiguan L (second), Mercedes-Benz GRC (third), Hongqi HS5, BMW X3, Audi Q5L, Chery Tiggo 8, Buick Encore, Toyota Highlander and Jetto X70.
I'm not trying to dismiss the sales results of these models last year, but rather to talk to you about what I think of as the "10 best-selling mid-size SUVs" in 2021. I won't say more about it below, so let's look down together.
Tenth place: BMW X3
The BMW X3 sold 131287 new cars last year, ranking fifth on the sales charts. But in my opinion, the BMW X3 is completely ineligible for the top five in the sales list of mid-size SUVs. First, the price of BMW X3 is too high, the starting price has come to 390,000, and the terminal discount is only about 20,000, so the cost performance is not good. Second, the space of the BMW X3 is very average, even if the wheelbase reaches 2864mm, but the actual ride is still not outstanding, so it is not worth the price.
Finally, even if the BMW X3 has excellent road handling, in my opinion, that's not something that most people need. After all, controlling that thing can't be seen or touched, but it requires people to drive and feel, so I don't think it's worth it to put on a home medium-sized SUV with more than 400,000 landings. Therefore, it can only rank tenth in my mind.
Ninth place: Mercedes-Benz GRC
The Mercedes-Benz GRC sold 140155 new car in 2021 and ranked third on the midsize SUV sales charts. However, like the BMW X3, the Mercedes-Benz GRC is essentially a medium-sized SUV with a high premium, you know, its price has come to the range of 40.25-47.12 million yuan, so in terms of cost performance, I think the Mercedes-Benz GLC is completely absent.
Of course, to talk about the cost performance of luxury SUVs, it is a bit unworthy of "Wude", after all, Mercedes-Benz has always earned money from the rich. In short, spend more than 400,000 to buy a Mercedes-Benz GLC, the engine sounds the same as a tractor, I don't know why so many people are willing to buy it, is it for the big standard of Mercedes-Benz, and the status symbol brought by Mercedes-Benz?
Eighth place: Audi Q5L
The Audi Q5L sold 123427 new cars last year, ranking sixth on the midsize SUV sales list. In my mind, this generation of Audi Q5L ranks only slightly higher than the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC. One is that although this generation of Audi Q5L is equipped with a full-time all-wheel drive and 8AT gearbox, and there is no Towson differential, people are really down in terms of price.
You know, after the discount, the lowest price of the Audi Q5L model came to the early 300,000, so in terms of cost performance, the Audi Q5L is higher than the other two German luxury SUVs. The second is that the space of the Audi Q5L is obviously larger than that of bmw X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, not only the wheelbase reaches 2907mm, but also the actual sitting is more spacious. Therefore, in my mind, the audi Q5L ranking should be better than the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC.
Seventh place: Tesla Model Y
It's no secret that the Tesla Model Y will be the best-selling car in the mid-size SUV market in 2021. You know, this car sold 198533 new car in one go last year, and the reason why so many people are willing to buy it is mainly because of the fashion avant-garde personality it represents and its new energy vehicle.
Putting aside the brand bonus and the unique personality of the model, the Tesla Model Y does not have much of a bright spot in terms of hardware technology. The endurance is only 545 km, 615 km and 660 km three versions, and the interior is also very simple. Coupled with the fact that the price went to start at 316,900, it seems to me that the people who bought the Tesla Model Y are actually buying a tone and label. Finally, although Tesla always emphasizes their strong software strength, in fact, the Internet is full of news of various brake failures and automatic assisted driving failures. Therefore, it can only rank seventh in my mind.
Sixth place: Buick Encore
Oncover is an American mid-size SUV, its main focus is cost-effective, and it is precisely because of this that Oncovi sold a total of 107931 new cars in 2021, ranking eighth in the mid-size SUV sales list. However, in my opinion, Oncovi's sales performance should be better, at least in line with its strength to be able to rank sixth.
Why? First, Oncovi's car can indeed be said to be constantly catering to consumers. People want a lot of space, and it gives you a longer, larger size, and a more luxurious 6-seater version. Second, after each new listing of Oncovi, it will not take long for the terminal to have a great deal, and the original guidance price looks expensive on Oncovi, after the discount is almost the same as the compact SUV, which you say is not rude? Therefore, I think that Oncovi's sales in 2021 should not only be ranked eighth, on the contrary, the sixth place is more suitable for its product strength.
Fifth place, Jetway X70
Jietu X70 is a Chinese brand medium-sized SUV, in 2021, this car sold 96867 new cars in one go, and successfully entered the tenth place in medium-sized SUV sales, which shows that the Chinese people love and recognize the Jietu X70. Speaking of Jietu X70, I personally recognize it, after all, the people only need to spend 6.99-15.59 million yuan in the price range to buy a good-looking, large space medium-sized SUV, this cost performance in addition to Jietu can give, there should be no one.
In addition, the choices offered by the Jetway X70 to consumers are also very rich. There are two versions of power, 1.5T and 1.6T, and there are also many manual transmission models to choose from. In addition, in terms of seat layout, Jietu X70 also has three forms of 5, 6 and 7 seats, which can be said to fully meet the needs of consumers for different seat layouts. Finally, since the launch of the Jietu X70, there has never been any major problem in terms of product quality, which shows that Chery makes cars with a real conscience. In short, in my heart, the Jietu X70 should be able to rank fifth in the sales list of medium-sized SUVs, and last year it just entered the top ten, so our chinese people still need to fight more.
4th place: Red Flag HS5
Faw-hongqi HS5 is a luxury medium-sized SUV built by FAW-hongqi, and in 2021, Faw-hongqi HS5 sold a total of 132,610 new cars, ranking fourth in the mid-size SUV sales list. A bit coincidentally, the Hongqi HS5 sales ranking in my mind is also the fourth, after all, this domestic luxury SUV has a more affordable price, the appearance is also very good, so it belongs to the typical model that has both cost performance and aura.
In addition, the Entire Hongqi HS5 series is equipped with a 2.0T engine, and the maximum power has reached 224 horsepower. In addition, the new car configuration is very high and the space is large enough, so there is no problem at all to meet the needs of the family. In short, The Hongqi HS5 is a rare model in the 200,000-class medium-sized SUV, and in the future, we also hope that FAW Hongqi can be better when replacing it, so that sales may further climb.
Third place: Chery Tiggo 8
Chery Tiggo 8 is a domestic medium-sized SUV that has "sprung up" in the past two years, and in 2021, the Tiggo 8 has sold a total of 117058 new cars, ranking 7th in the sales list of medium-sized SUVs. To be honest, as Chery's current best-selling SUV model, I think the sales volume of the Tiggo 8 can be better, and even in my mind, the Tiggo 8 is a model that can be ranked third.
You know, the shape of the Tiggo 8 is highly recognizable, which is very rare in the domestic brand SUV model that has not been highly original for a long time. Secondly, Tiggo 8 also has three power forms of 1.5T, 1.6T and 2.0T, as well as two seat layouts of 5 and 7 seats, so in terms of taking care of consumer selectivity, Tiggo 8 is doing a very good job. Finally, the price of the Tiggo 8 is only 9.58-16.88888 million, and the price of spending less than 150,000 to buy a domestic medium-sized SUV with a strong comprehensive price performance is obviously worth it. So, the Tiggo 8 is the top three models in my mind.
Second place: Toyota Highlander
What people did not expect was that Toyota Highlander, which has always had a good reputation in the mid-size SUV market, only sold 107449 new cars in 2021, and such achievements have also made Highlander rank in the mid-size SUV market to ninth, only ahead of the domestic brand Jietu X70. To be honest, with Highlander's strength, in my opinion, it can completely rank in the top two, and the reason why its sales in 2021 are only ranked ninth, I think it is also related to its limited production capacity.
After all, according to the official statement of GAC Toyota, the 2.0T engine of the previous generation highlander model has always been imported and used, so there are only more than 8,000 units per month in terms of production capacity. Therefore, this factor is also the reason why Highlander's sales have not gone up. Finally, Highlander's space is really large, equipped with 7 seats is also a real 7-seat layout, coupled with the 2.0T engine is easy to open, durable, low fuel consumption, the new 2.5L hybrid system is enough fuel saving, so highlander car series is completely ranked in the top two in the mid-size SUV market.
1st Place: Volkswagen Tiguan L
Although many people say that the Tiguan L is not a standard medium-sized SUV, but to carefully compare its body size and interior space performance, it is worthy of the identity of a medium-sized SUV, can you bear it? You know, in 2021, Tiguan L sold 170587 new cars in one go, which made it the second best seller in the mid-size SUV market, second only to Tesla Model Y.
In terms of product strength, Tiguan L provides two seat layouts of 5 seats and 7 seats, and the power is a fully matched 2.0T engine, but it is divided into two versions of high and low power. In addition, Tiguan L is very large in the terminal discount, the shape also looks more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people, is a medium-sized SUV with a "moral flavor", so this is also the reason why many people buy it. Finally, it is precisely because of the combination of these factors that Tiguan L sold second in the sales list of mid-size SUVs last year. And in my heart, it is also the well-deserved first place in the mid-size SUV, I don't know what you think?
Well, the above is what I think of as the top ten mid-size SUV sales in 2021, for this ranking, I don't know what your opinions and opinions are? Leave a message in the comment area to talk about it, let's exchange and discuss it together. (Text/Univision Auto Dazhuo)
