After entering April, major manufacturers have announced the sales data of the last month of the first quarter of 2022, according to the latest data compiled and released by the Federation of Passenger Vehicles: domestic narrow passenger car sales in March 2022 were 1.579 million units, down 10.5% year-on-year and 25.6% month-on-month. Among them, SUV models sold a total of 742,000 units, down 5.6% year-on-year and up 25.9% month-on-month. Domestic consumers for SUV models, the degree of love is not too far behind the car, the reason is that the size of the SUV model, the space is larger than the car, can be installed. Then Xiaobian will take you to see what are the list of cars and why the sales are so high.
First, Tesla Model Y
Sales volume was 39,730 units, up 291.4% year-on-year
Although in recent days, The Model 3 may affect some sales due to the problem of inverter recall, but there is no mention of model Y, which proves that model Y is still very powerful, as a new energy SUV priced at 300,000 levels in the draw, its sales volume proves the consumption strength of domestic consumers and the advantages of the product itself. However, due to the limited production capacity of the Shanghai factory due to the epidemic, the delivery of 39,730 vehicles is not his real strength. In this way, March also increased by 291.4% year-on-year, which is the largest year-on-year increase in the list, which is indeed a wonderful performance.
Second, BYD Song
Sales volume was 26,723 units, up 143.8% year-on-year
BYD Song took advantage of the East Wind of the PLUS DM-i model to make the sales of the Song series of models rise sharply, and the sales volume reached 26,723 units in March, an increase of 143.8% year-on-year, which was the second place in the list, and the year-on-year growth was second only to Model. Dm-i models have better improvements in terms of vehicle cost, fuel economy, acceleration performance, and more advantages, squeezing out the Haval H6, which has been dominating the list for many years. And entered BYD also announced that it will completely stop the production of fuel vehicles, which also marks BYD's comprehensive shift to the new energy field, and will invest more energy in research and development in the field of new energy.
Third, Chang'an CS75
Sales volume was 22,811 units, down 24.8% year-on-year
Although from the data point of view, Changan CS75 fell by 24.8% year-on-year, but also achieved the status of the top three, relying on super high value and reliable technology to win the love of many consumers, and launched the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS, which will make its product strength stronger and stronger, and will make the biggest threat to BYD Song. Due to the gradual rejuvenation of the market, the design concept of the CS75 series is young and fashionable, and it also makes it easy to climb up on the Haval H6, and it has played a very good performance in March.
Iv. Haval H6
Sales of 19,303 units, down 43.7% year-on-year
The Haval H6 is an important sales pillar of Great Wall Motor, and has occupied the top position in the sales list for many years. However, although sales declined in March, Xiaobian felt forgivable. After all, because of the impact of the epidemic, parts and other parts of the supply is insufficient, resulting in a decline in production capacity, but actually fell to the fourth result, most of which is because the product force is not as good as the level of models, such as BYD Song, there are pure electric version, hybrid version and pure fuel version, which makes Haval H6 take what bucket? And the recently listed tank 500 also allows the Great Wall to focus on the WEY brand. Look forward to the performance of the Haval H6 after the release of the sales charts in April.
5. Chang'an CS55
Sales of 17,176 units, up 63.5% year-on-year
CS75 as the big brother with the younger brother CS55 all the way to the top five positions, which is also the best ranking result in recent days. Same as CS75, relying on handsome appearance, super high cost performance, and excellent power, CS55 sales increased by 63.5% year-on-year. Sandwiched in the middle, it should be quite uncomfortable now. With the advent of the CS55 PLUS replacement, sales will also be further improved, whether it can leave the H6 behind, we look forward to it together.
Roku, Honda CRV
Sales of 16,437 units, down 41.1% year-on-year
Due to the rise of independent brand SUV models, the joint venture SUV has dropped significantly, and Japanese cars can barely maintain their position on the list, but they are seriously affected by chips, falling by 41.1% year-on-year in March, which makes the CRV ranking that has maintained the top five status for many years drop to sixth, and the sales decline is serious. At present, the joint venture SUV model basically does not have too many advantages, and the independent brand models have better advantages in terms of price configuration and so on.
Seven, Toyota RAV4 Rongfang
Sales of 14,415 units, down 12.3% year-on-year
Toyota RAV4's reputation in China has always been good, which can also make it have basically stable sales. However, due to the impact of chips, march fell by 12.3% year-on-year, which is not large. It is believed that with the normal production of the factory, sales will warm up. And RAV4 as Toyota's main model, the hybrid version of the listing will also have certain advantages for it, but for young consumers, there are not too many highlights, not as 10 years ago especially sought after by consumers. The same hybrid model BYD Song DM-i is stronger than its workmanship and power, which also shows that the joint venture brand model has received a great impact.
Eight, Toyota Veranda
Sales of 13,304 units, up 48.5% year-on-year
The eighth place position is still occupied by Toyota, and with its brand influence and excellent reliability, it jumped up 11 places. Compared with FAW Toyota's RAV4, GAC Toyota's Veranda's future is very bright, up 48.5% in Sales in March year-on-year, such sales are inseparable from the two subdivisions of hybrid + fuel, and the design is younger than RAV4, which also makes it more popular with young consumers. However, whether it can maintain sales or climb steadily depends on how its own product competitiveness competes with its own brand models.
Nine, Changan Auchan X5
Sales of 12,812 units, up 17.6% year-on-year
As a sub-brand model of Changan, Auchan X5 has also entered the top ten list, and there are three models on the top ten sales list at the same time, which also proves that Changan Auchan's efforts are effective, focusing on sports performance and fashionable sharp appearance, catering to the young market, and the performance is also quite outstanding. The Auchan X5 increased by 17.6% year-on-year, although there was no substantial increase, but it was very good to stabilize the existing position.
Ten, Mercedes-Benz GRC
Sales of 12,748 units, down 10.5% year-on-year
The Mercedes-Benz GRC is the only luxury brand to enter the top ten and is also the best-selling luxury brand SUV. As a heavyweight guest of the BBA, the Mercedes-Benz GLC sells more than its peers such as the BMW X3 and Audi Q5. Although it is only more than 1,000 vehicles than the BMW X3. But it also entered the top ten. Due to the limited production capacity of BMW X3 affected by the epidemic, sales are inferior to GLC, and after the production capacity is gradually restored, it can also fight with GRC.
summary:
Due to the re-arrival of the epidemic, many manufacturers and models have been affected to varying degrees, but overall, the SUV market in March was relatively stable. After the above summary, we can draw a small conclusion, Tesla Model Y with excellent product competitiveness, unquestionably won the first place good results. Independent brands BYD and Changan are more prominent and eye-catching. And Haval has slipped down again, which is a regrettable performance. The sales volume of joint venture brand models have declined to a certain extent, which is inevitably related to the improvement of the competitiveness of independent brand products, for example, none of Volkswagen's SUV models can be listed. There is also the domestic market is slowly moving closer to new energy or hybrid models, and the cost of independent brands has advantages, which will also have a part of the impact.
