As we entered May, major automakers have released their sales data, even if it coincides with May Day, but automakers still work overtime to release sales data. Today we have sorted out the delivery volume of the new car-making forces. In April, due to the impact of mask factors, many factories and supply chains were shut down, and only one new force exceeded the 10,000-vehicle mark. Judging from the sales of new car-making forces, the author predicts that the overall sales of automobiles in April are still not optimistic.
It is worth mentioning that Weilai and Ideal have seen a year-on-year decline for the first time this year, but the year-on-year increase of Ian and leading is obvious, let's take a look at the sales data and specific market performance of the new car-making forces in April.
GAC Aeon: 10,212 units delivered in April
After leading the new forces in sales in March, GAC Aeon once again won the new energy sales championship in April. In April, its monthly sales exceeded the 10,000-vehicle mark, reaching 10,212 vehicles, an increase of 23% year-on-year, and it is worth mentioning that GAC Aeon is also the only new power company with monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles. From January to April this year, the cumulative sales volume was 55,086 vehicles, an increase of 113% year-on-year.
At present, GAC Aian has laid out 5 models including AION LX Plus, AION V Plus, AION Y, AION S Plus, AION S Plus, AION S Plus, AION S S, etc., with a price range covering 120,000-450,000 yuan, giving consumers more choices.
Zero-run cars: 9,087 units delivered in April
In April, zero-run cars continued the "dark horse" performance, with monthly sales reaching 9,087 units, an increase of 228% year-on-year, which also made it pressure Wei Xiaoli. It is worth mentioning that this is already a year-on-year growth rate of more than 200% in the monthly delivery of zero-run cars. This year, more than 30,000 zero-run vehicles have been delivered, reaching 30,666 units.
At present, the zero-run T03 and zero-run C11 under Zero-Run Automobile are both cost-effective models in the same class, which also makes it a new darling in the market. In April, Zero Run also opened the pre-sale of the medium and large pure electric sedan Zero Run C01, Zero Run C01 is equipped with Zero Run Intelligent Power CTC technology, the world's first electric vehicle without independent battery pack, this car will compete with Tesla Model 3, BYD Han EV, Xiaopeng P7 and so on after the listing.
Xiaopeng Automobile: 9,002 units delivered in April
Xiaopeng Automobile continued its steady performance in April, delivering 9,002 new vehicles, up 75% year-on-year and down 41.6% month-on-month. Among them, the Xiaopeng P7 delivered 3,714 vehicles, the Xiaopeng P5 delivered 3,564 vehicles, and the Xiaopeng G3 series delivered 1,724 vehicles. In the first four months of this year, it delivered more than 40,000 vehicles, reaching 43,563 units, an increase of 136% year-on-year.
The stable and strong performance of Xiaopeng Automobile is inseparable from its rich product matrix, on the other hand, the Zhaoqing factory is not greatly affected by the mask factor, but the "suspension theory" released by the leader He Xiaopeng still attracts the attention and discussion of all parties.
Nezha Automobile: 8,813 units delivered in April
Nezha Automobile delivered 8,813 new vehicles in April, up 119.5% year-on-year and down 26.7% month-on-month. Among them, 5,694 new cars were delivered in the Nezha V series and 3,119 new cars were delivered in the Nezha U car series. The current price range of Nezha Automobile's main sales products covers 70,000-200,000, which meets the current budget of new energy pure electric models.
Nezha Automobile's excellent market performance has also allowed it to suppress Wei Xiaoli and rank in the first echelon of the new forces with rising stars such as zero running.
NIO: 5,074 units delivered in April
NIO delivered only 5,074 new vehicles in April, down 13.5% year-on-year and 49.2% month-on-month. Among them, NIO ES6 delivered 1878 vehicles, NIO ES8 delivered 1251 new cars, NIO EC6 delivered 1252 new cars, and the new CAR NIO ET7, which was just launched last month, delivered 693 new cars.
Weilai Automobile is one of the car companies most affected by masks in the new forces, Jilin, Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places are involved in the supply chain and supporting facilities of Weilai Automobile, so it has directly led to the suspension of Production of Weilai Automobile, but with the social clearance of many places, many factories have also gradually recovered their entanglement, and I believe that the supply of parts and components of Weilai will be alleviated in May.
Ideal car: 4,167 units delivered in April
Ideal Car delivered the new car Ideal ONE 4,167 units in April, down 24.77% year-on-year and 62.23% month-on-month, it is worth mentioning that the ideal ONE sales in March exceeded the 10,000-unit mark, reaching 11,034 units, but April can be said to have been cut off, and it is also a new low since February 2021. In the first four months of this year, Ideal Auto delivered a total of 35,883 new cars, and since its launch on the market, it has delivered 159971 new cars.
The poor performance of Ideal Auto is also affected by the mask factor, you know, more than 80% of the parts suppliers of Ideal Auto's Changzhou base are distributed in the Yangtze River Delta region including Shanghai and Kunshan, so the shortage of parts has also directly caused its impact.
Extreme Krypton: 2,137 vehicles delivered in April
Extreme Krypton Automobile ushered in growth in April, and the delivery of new cars, Extreme Kr 001 in April, reached 2137 units, which is already a good performance for a new car that has been on the market for a short time and is priced at more than 300,000 yuan.
According to the official data released by Extreme Kr, its order volume has exceeded the 10,000 mark in April, but due to production capacity, car ordering users also need to have a waiting period. With the stabilization of Kr 001, Kr will launch more new models to meet more needs of consumers.
