On April 11, data disclosed by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers showed that passenger car sales in March were 1.864 million units, up 25.1% month-on-month but down 0.6% year-on-year.
It can be seen that in the case of the spread of the epidemic in many places, the closing month of the first quarter of this year did not usher in the small Yangchun, and the overall trend was the same as that of the same period last year, and it fell slightly.
Among them, the China Automobile Association also released the top 10 car sales ranking in March, which is the chart below.
At first glance, the models on the list are familiar faces, and there seems to be no difference from the previous list. However, if you look closely at it, you can actually find many highlights. Next, we will not say more nonsense, and directly give everyone dry goods.
Highlight 1: Independent brand and Japanese singer duo turn
Yes, in the TOP10 list, there are three independent brands, namely the first place Hongguang MINIEV, the seventh place BYD Qin PLUS and the eighth place Changan Yidong.
There are as many as five Japanese brands, which can be said to occupy half of the country. They were Xuan Yi in second place, Camry in third place, Corolla in sixth place, Lei Ling in ninth place, and Accord in tenth place.
That is to say, in addition to the fourth-place German car Langyi and the fifth-place American car Tesla Model3, the rest is the situation of independent brands and Japanese cars singing two-person turns.
You know, the pattern of the previous top 10 car was not like this. If I remember correctly, it is completely the world of German, Japanese and American, and only one Emgrand can occasionally squeeze into the TOP10 camp of independent brands.
No way, this is the great change of the times, Chinese brands after the SUV market down, began to attack the joint venture guarded car market. Although it has only made a breakthrough in the field of mini cars and A-class cars at present, it has not yet involved B-class cars. However, please believe in your own brand, give them a certain amount of time, and there will be greater surprises in the follow-up.
Of course, Emgrand, which was once the head brand of independent cars, did not enter the TOP10 this time, and was left behind by Qin PLUS and Yidong, which undoubtedly released a dangerous signal: how to maintain the combat effectiveness of Emgrand is a problem that Geely should focus on at present.
Highlight 2: FAW-Volkswagen pellets have no harvest
As we all know, FAW-Volkswagen started with cars, and for a long, long time, this veteran joint venture car company has won the first position in domestic car sales for several consecutive years without the need for SUVs.
It is because of its strong car strength, not only a large number of layouts, but also the top few players in the rankings, such as Jetta, Bora, Sagittarius, Golf, Maiteng and so on.
But this time, none of the TOP10 models squeezed in. To put it bluntly, if it were not for saic-Volkswagen Langyi ranking fourth, the German car would really have been stripped of its bottoms.
Perhaps in response to the original prediction of many people in the industry, the existence of German cars in China like gods, the main reason is that the 70s and 80s are very expensive, even if the German cars have one or another quality trust crisis, it will not affect its domestic god.
But now the situation is different, the post-95/00 feelings for German cars have long been not as strong as their parents, coupled with the gap between first-line independent and Ashkenazi brands has completely narrowed, they prefer their own brand technology, intelligence and high configuration, as well as the Japanese brand's peace of mind, durability and high value preservation. In this way, the space of the Ashkenazi system is infinitely compressed.
Therefore, at this moment, FAW-Volkswagen must reflect on why the once advantageous car market has not even been able to enter the TOP10, which is now being eroded by competitors. Is the problem with the product? Or is it a matter of quality? Deeply reflected.
【Conclusion】Based on the above content, the Top 10 cars in March are full of many variables, which can also be interpreted as the deep reshuffle of the TOP10 club. Of course, whether it is the Ashkenazi almost eating duck eggs, or the independent and Japanese singing the protagonist, it seems to be sending a signal to the world that the times have abandoned you and never left any emotion! There is no fixed pattern, and if you are not careful, you may be replaced!
