Hoshikoshi L: Domestic dark horse
Looking back at the entire list, we can find that most of the models on the list are our "old friends", such as Changan CS75, Haval H6, Honda CR-V, Veranda, etc., but the Star-Etsu L, which was only launched in July last year, is like a dark horse, and in this most competitive market, it has entered the top 15 with a single monthly sales of 11,049 vehicles in March. Since its listing, Xingyue L has sold more than 10,000 units in a single month, which is another explosive SUV in the Chinese car market, and the recently launched Raytheon hybrid model has remained popular under the situation of rising oil prices.
Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · With a manufacturer's guidance price of 171,700-183,700 yuan, X is two new gasoline-electric hybrid models added by Xingyue L. The overall shape of the new car is still basically the same as the fuel version, but the front face adopts a more electric design.

Judging from the sales data of the past two months, the capital of the list in February and March was occupied by the joint venture model, and the performance of domestic models was somewhat sluggish, especially the Haval H6, which had been at the top of the list, did not qualify for the top three positions for the first time, in addition to the lack of production capacity, it may also be because the Haval H6 failed to replace in time, I believe that the new generation of Haval H6 will surprise everyone again. However, you are optimistic about the domestic SUV do not have to be discouraged, the current list of domestic and joint ventures are in the five-five competition situation, and the top five are still dominated by domestic models, I hope that next month the domestic SUV will have better performance!
