Two days ago, there was a form circulating on the Internet about the amount of insurance for car companies in April (as of April 17), BYD "one red first", leading the mainstream domestic car companies, like the usual list of joint venture car companies FAW-Volkswagen, Shanghai Volkswagen, SAIC-GM and Geely, Changan, Great Wall and other domestic car companies are "green" from the beginning to the foot. IN April, UNSU will win the car sales championship.

It is not that Volkswagen and GM can not sell, in March and April affected by the epidemic in the Yangtze River Delta and northeast China, Changchun and Shanghai vehicle manufacturers had to stop production, parts supply chains in all regions of the country have been affected, located in Changchun FAW-Volkswagen, FAW Toyota and other five major automakers only resumed work on April 11, shanghai-based SAIC-GM, SAIC Volkswagen, Tesla until April 19 announced the resumption of work and production. Even manufacturers who are not in the hard-hit areas of the epidemic have reduced or even stopped production due to supply chain problems.
BYD benefits from a more perfect self-operated industrial chain, self-research and production of blade batteries to avoid the problem of being completely "stuck neck", while BYD has factories in Xi'an, Changsha, Shenzhen, these areas the impact of the epidemic is relatively small, so it can be manufactured normally. According to the information currently released, BYD should not have much of a problem winning the domestic car company sales crown in April. Next, let's take a closer look at the car companies that have announced sales so far.
BYD
According to BYD's official production and sales data, BYD's new energy vehicle sales in April 106042, an increase of 313% year-on-year. Although ATD announced at the beginning of last month that it would officially stop production of fuel vehicles and focus on the development of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid car business, its sales data was not affected at all, but it became the most exaggerated car company, and there was no one (there should be no car company that can achieve such a high growth rate of BYD at present).
Even so, BYD's hot models such as Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i are still difficult to find and need to wait for the car. According to informed peer reports, BYD currently has nearly 400,000 orders that have not yet been delivered, which is a bit exaggerated.
BYD has set an annual sales target of 1.5 million vehicles this year, and nearly 400,000 vehicles were completed in the first four months. In fact, according to the current heat of BYD's new car, it is not difficult to complete sales, mainly depending on BYD's production capacity, including whether the supply chain can keep up with such a huge growth demand.
It is no exaggeration to say that this year we are witnessing the history of a domestic car company that "only sells new energy vehicles" and has become a sales champion, which was previously unimaginable to everyone.
Just like the poster made by BYD for the 200,000th Hanxin car off the production line, the Chinese brand car that "costs 200,000+ and goes off the line 200,000+", who could have imagined that BYD would be the first to achieve this achievement?
GAC Aean
In addition to BYD, GAC Aean is a car company with higher sales of new energy vehicles among traditional domestic manufacturers, and continued to successfully break through 10,000 units in April, reaching 10,212 units, an increase of 23% year-on-year, and sales in the first four months were 55,000 units, a significant increase compared with last year.
GAC Aeon's main sales models are the sedan AION S and SUV AION Y, both of which are mainly focused on the pure electric market of about 150,000 yuan, with good space, design and endurance performance, which is a pure electric vehicle with a good cost performance of 13-200,000 miles at present.
Zero run
Last month, the new forces' sales crown was not Weilai or Xiaopeng, but a zero-run car that has been silently accompanying. 9,087 units were delivered in April, and its year-on-year growth rate exceeded 200% due to the low base.
There are two models currently on sale, one is the T03 mini car priced at about 80,000 yuan, and the other is the C11 medium-sized SUV priced at about 200,000 yuan.
There is also a mid-level sedan C01 that will be released soon, and it is said that zero hundred acceleration can reach within 3 seconds. More and more rich product lines, so that zero running in a new force is also gradually out of the crowd, is no longer the original ridiculed as only selling cottage electric sports cars (S01) car companies, after the "Wei Xiaoli" this name needs to add a zero-run car.
Wei Xiaoli
The new forces "big three giants" last month because of the supply of parts, sales have been affected. Xiaopeng Automobile sold the highest, with 9002 units, of which 3714 units were delivered for P7, 3564 units were delivered for P5, and 1724 units were delivered for G3, which was considered a stable output.
Weilai and ideal are not so lucky, subject to the supply of Shanghai parts suppliers, Weilai only sold 5074 units last month, of which the ET7 that just started delivery only delivered less than 700 units, and the follow-up pressure brought by the supply chain cannot be significantly improved in a short period of time.
Ideal one only delivered 4167 vehicles last month, only half of the normal time, but the total delivery of ideal ONE has reached nearly 160,000 vehicles, and bicycle sales are still the highest among the new forces.
Nezha, the second echelon of the new forces, also performed relatively brightly in April, delivering 8813 units, which is higher than Weilai and Ideal. Among them, 5694 units of Nezha V of 100,000 levels were delivered, and 3119 units of Nezha U of 150,000 levels were delivered.
DPCA
Since the versailles banner, the sales results of DPCA at the beginning of each month are delivered on time. In April, the sales volume of DPCA cars was 9316 units (wholesale), still with a 22% year-on-year increase, although the sales data of specific models was not announced, but according to the current situation of French cars and past sales, Citroën's Versailles C5 X must account for the majority, in addition to Versailles, only Peugeot's 4008 and 2008 can sell a little more.
In the first four months, the total sales volume of DPCA was 39,600 units, which has made great progress compared with previous years. This year, the target set by DPCA is 170,000 vehicles, and according to this rhythm and the uncertain impact of the epidemic, it is still a bit difficult to achieve.
Extreme Krypton
Extreme Kr 001 this car can be said to be thunderous rain point small, when it was first released, the entire car circle was boasting, fire to the point of feeling that the listing was going to sell out. But now the heat has also been reduced a lot, and the sales volume is not very surprising.
2,137 units were delivered in April, compared with 1,795 units last month. With the increase in cost, the price of Extreme Kr 001 is also constantly rising, the price of the dual motor ultra-long endurance version has reached 386,000 yuan (the price increase is about 20,000), and the guidance price of the ultra-long endurance single motor version is also close to 300,000. Don't say that 300,000 electric vehicle sales can only be at this level, Tesla will be the first to disagree.
As of today, only some car companies have released sales data. Other car companies will not take the initiative to announce it, after all, due to the problems of epidemic shutdown and supply chain, everyone's life is not good, and the sales results are not very satisfactory. Strictly speaking, the winner in April is only BYD, and it is the only one that can achieve a steady increase. Do you think that this year can we witness BYD's counterattack to become the first domestic sales champion? Let's discuss it together in the comments section.
