When it comes to cars, everyone knows that it is basically a joint venture brand, and domestic cars are very weak. However, as soon as the sales list came out in March, we found that the car market changed dramatically, the joint venture cars were cut off, sales plummeted, and domestic cars sold crazy. What the hell is going on?
1. How has the sedan market changed drastically?
Entering the Year of the Tiger, under the adverse effects of the supply chain crisis and the epidemic, the automotive industry has a very difficult life. According to the Association of Automobile Manufacturers, vehicle sales in March were 1.579 million units, down 10.5% year-on-year, and cumulative sales from January to March were 4.915 million units, down 4.5% year-on-year. Looking at the car market alone, sales in March were 765,000 units, down 12.0% year-on-year; cumulative sales from January to March were 2.368 million units, down 2.3% year-on-year. However, in such a difficult environment, domestic cars fly against the wind, rapid rise, the overall sales soared, while the joint venture cars have been cut off, and the car market has changed dramatically.
2. Joint venture cars are chopping up?
Turning over the car sales list in March, it will be found that among the joint venture brands, in addition to the recently strong Camry, other joint venture brands have almost all been wiped out, and sales have fallen sharply, even waist. Nissan Xuanyi, which has been the top sedan sales for many years, but in March, sales plummeted 31.6% to 30,240 units, losing to the Hongguang MINI and slipping to second place. Volkswagen Langyi, which is on a par with Xuanyi, is even more unbearable, with sales plunging 39.7% to only 21,331 units, falling from the top three in the past to sixth place in the sales list.
Sales of other joint venture cars also fell short of expectations. Corolla sales slashed to just 15,474 units; Ralink fell 12.7 percent to just 19,633 units; and B-Class king Accord fell sharply by 23.2 percent to just 14,855 units. Japanese cars fell collectively, as did The German and American systems. Sagitar cliff-like fell 56.9% to only 15,148 vehicles; new Bora plunged 67.8% to only 12,681 vehicles, ranking last; and sales of the American British Also plunged 52.4% to only 13,475 vehicles. Moreover, in the cumulative sales list of cars from January to March, the situation is similar.
3. Are domestic cars crazy?
On the other hand, domestic cars have bucked the trend in the overall downward environment of the auto market, handing over a sales report card that is diametrically opposed to that of joint venture cars. First of all, the National God Car Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, sales increased by 42.7% to 41,980 units, becoming the only model with sales of more than 40,000 units in March, and once again suppressed Xuanyi and Langyi, winning the top spot in the monthly car sales list. You know, this is the third time it has won this honor, and its performance is enough to make the people of China proud. Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, with its cute and cute shape design and cost-effective price, has completely detonated the micro pure electric market with its own strength.
Secondly, with the help of DM-i and other models, BYD Qin has become the largest dark horse in the car market, and sales have continued to soar, from obscurity to the top five of the car sales list. In March, BYD Qin's sales soared by 438.8% year-on-year, ranking fourth with a performance of 24,791 units. BYD Qin's DM-i hybrid model, with hot sales and a hard to find a car, has suppressed joint ventures such as Leiling and Corolla, and has become the king of the sedan hybrid market. With the investment and construction of BYD's new factory and the gradual release of production capacity, BYD Qin's sales will continue to climb, and it is expected to become a new hegemon in the car market.
Finally, the two pillar products of domestic fuel cars, Changan Yidong and Geely Emgrand, also performed quite brightly. Yidong surged 34.8% in March to sell 20,353 units, ranking seventh in the sedan sales rankings, surpassing Leiling and Corolla. With the help of Blue Whale power and PLUS models, Yidong continues to sell well. Emgrand rose 23.6 percent in March to surpass the Corolla with 16,336 units to finish ninth. In the field of fuel cars, Yidong and Emgrand broke through the barriers of joint ventures and successfully broke through into "domestic products" in the field of cars with the attitude of "Twin Stars".
