On April 3, BYD was a little different from the previous release of last month's sales data on time, this time not only releasing March sales, but also bringing another blockbuster news.
In March, BYD's full line of passenger car sales was 104338, successfully ranking among the 10W+ echelon of monthly sales, which is destined to be a historic month for the entire automobile market, representing a new energy vehicle has reached a new height. Of course, for friends who are familiar with BYD, in fact, this has long been expected, after all, the strong rise in sales has not been a day or two. Another blockbuster news is that BYD officially announced that it will stop the production of fuel vehicles from March 2022, and the following will be a specific interpretation of March sales and discontinued fuel vehicles.
BYD in March passenger car sales of 104338, up 160.9% year-on-year, so far the cumulative sales of new energy models have exceeded 1.79 million, of which the march hybrid (DM) version of the model sales of 50674, pure electric (EV) version of the model sales of 53664, both broke through the 5W mark, still taking a balanced pace in the advance, enough to show that BYD's development vision of forward-looking, adhere to the DM and EV synchronous research and development is a correct development route. And now it has been fully recognized by the market and consumers, sales are the most direct embodiment, let's look at the specific models.
The flagship sedan Han family sold 12,359 units in March, of which the DM version increased by 524.9% month-on-month, and the cumulative sales volume has exceeded 190,000 units. Among them, it is worth noting that in April 10, the new Han DM-i and EV will be listed simultaneously, and at present, Han DM-i has received a large number of orders, especially the top version of pure electric endurance of 121 kilometers is particularly popular, it is estimated that the next monthly sales will reach 2W+, and with the EV version to work together, the monthly sales of the Han family are expected to reach an amazing 3W+, which will be difficult to find a rival in the same level of models.
Flagship SUV Tang family sales in March was 9625 units, of which the sales of the new generation of Tang DM models increased by 565.9% year-on-year, the cumulative sales have exceeded 320,000 vehicles, although the total amount seems to have declined slightly, but the reason is obvious, there are too many consumers waiting for pure electric range of 252 kilometers of Tang DM-i and the new Tang EV, from the current BYD model planning, these two versions will most likely be listed in this time period in May and June, and so after these two versions join, The Tang family's sales are bound to increase significantly.
The sales volume of the Song family of compact SUV reached a new high in March, reaching 26,729 units in the whole series, of which the sales volume of the Song DM version increased by 2991.3% year-on-year, and the cumulative sales of the entire Song family exceeded 1.12 million units. In fact, to be precise, the current production capacity of the Song family is these, because BYD now has a large number of undelivered orders, forced by the pressure of production capacity, helpless to see only the monthly sales stable at 2W+, the opening text also mentioned that BYD has stopped production of fuel vehicles, the biggest beneficiary is actually the Song family, the production capacity released after the suspension of fuel vehicles will gradually be given to the Song family, and its sales will have room for improvement in the future, and the time to pick up the car will also be shortened.
Compact car Qin family march full line sales of 24797 units, of which Qin PLUS DM-i sales increased by 468.4% year-on-year, Qin family cumulative sales also exceeded 580,000 vehicles, from the current market feedback of the whole vehicle, the Qin family monthly sales are stable at 2W+ has been the norm, to know that the independent brand of cars, in terms of sales has been difficult to compete with the joint venture car, but the emergence of Qin PLUS DM-i, is undoubtedly to make the independent brand car camp more than a strong model, In one fell swoop, it became the most capable model, and it competed strongly with the top few joint venture brand models.
In contrast, the obscure Yuan family sold a total of 12,881 vehicles this month, of which the sales volume of the yuan PLUS increased by 121.9% month-on-month to 10,023 units, which is the second month after the listing of the yuan PLUS, so it has become the fastest model to break through 10,000 after the listing. Of course, it has to be mentioned that it belongs to the e platform 3.0 model, which is not high in terms of production capacity, and there are still a large number of orders to be delivered, and the next step of capacity improvement will inevitably promote the increase in sales.
Dolphin, a small car under the Ocean series, sold 10,501 units in March, an increase of 22.6% month-on-month, and the market performance and popularity of dolphin cars are obvious to all. However, the same for the e platform 3.0 under the model, sales are also affected by production capacity, monthly delivery is much lower than the order volume, after all, e platform 3.0 is now not only a dolphin car, it is expected that BYD will quickly make adjustments, improve the overall production capacity of e platform 3.0, dolphin monthly delivery to about 20,000 should be no problem.
Let's talk about the news about BYD's suspension of fuel vehicle production, in fact, the statement is very clear, is the production of fuel vehicles, for fuel owners, the production of spare parts and after-sales service can not worry, after all, BYD has a comprehensive spare parts self-production system and a wide range of 4S shop layout, fully guarantee the supply of spare parts and after-sales service in the future. Of course, this is also the first car company to clearly announce the suspension of fuel vehicles, BYD as the leader of new energy vehicles, this is a step that must be taken, the focus of research and development on hybrid and pure electricity and other new energy fields, in the technology of continuous breakthroughs and accumulation, will have the leading advantages further amplified, in the future not only their own, but also to lead their own brands in the market competition to achieve curve overtaking!
