......
Let's talk a lot about the hot-selling models, today let's take a look at those models whose sales skyrocketed in May, will they be the winners?
BYD Song Pro DM-i
May sales: 13,501 units
April sales: 8,427 units
Originally, Song Pro DM-i occupied the backbone of BYD's sales, and as one of the members of the Song family, it and Song PLUS contributed nearly 500,000 units to BYD in 2022. With the product strength of the champion version debuting in May, the Song Pro DM-i ushered in another breakthrough in sales.
The champion version is a low-endurance version that raises the threshold for endurance, the original NEDC pure electric range of 51km has been increased to 71km, and the entry version is also 5,000 yuan cheaper. In addition, DC fast charging and VTOL mobile power stations are also equipped as standard. Practical features have also been added.
It is worth mentioning that in May, BYD's friends are also full of combat effectiveness, first the Great Wall Haval Dragon family is listed, and then at the end of the month Geely Galaxy L7 debuted. Three benchmarking models fill the atmosphere of saber rattling at once. The sales volume of the Thunder Dragon series in May was more than 3,000 units, and the Galaxy L7 was announced to exceed 10,000 units before blind ordering. Let's squat and squat the sales of these three cars in the first full month of June!
Honda Civic
May sales: 11,299 units
April sales: 6,425 units
The Civic picked up in May, with sales exceeding 10,000 units. This is an Internet celebrity car with countless labels, which has set off a "sports wind" and has become the existence of the totem of the A-class family car market, "has always been imitated, never surpassed".
Today's eleventh generation Civic, on the one hand, the product itself is quite controversial, on the other hand, the increase of competing products/the rise of domestic production. However, it still has become a sports car loved by young people because of the strong appeal of the Honda brand, mature tuning accessories and related markets, and the reputation accumulated over the years.
Mercedes GLB
May sales: 7,136 units
April sales: 5,516 units
In May, the sales of the brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLC did not rise but fell, selling 7,745 units; The monthly sales of the small-displacement compact SUV GLB skyrocketed, again exceeding 7,000 units, which is really powerful!
Although in the market, the Mercedes-Benz GLB is a model that can give up its products for many reasons, but from the feedback of terminal sales, it still seems to be not worried about selling. In 2022, its sales figures are also quite stable, with nearly 60,000 new cars sold last year and nearly 30,000 vehicles sold as of May this year.
Mercedes-Benz GLB can often be listed in the top ten positions of high-end SUV monthly sales list, one of which is in the era of "looking at the standard", it gives a very affordable price, although the guidance price is about 300,000, but the terminal discount can be started after more than 200,000.
The second is that it faces the competing Audi Q3 and BMW X1, with an additional seven-seat choice, a wheelbase of 2829mm with 3 rows of seats, squeezed is squeezed, but occasionally emergency is still possible.
Third, Mercedes-Benz is also very persuaded, in order to attract consumers, the original 1.3T low-power version is canceled, and the 2.0T version, 190Ps/300Nm, the product power is being upgraded. The 1.3T engine on the 2023 facelifted GLB 200 in May has also been remodeled to increase power.
As long as you don't care about small displacement, affordable price + three-pronged star satisfies vanity, the era of Mercedes-Benz GLB can continue to last for some time.
FAW-Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ
May sales: 3,937 units
April sales: 1,639 units
In terms of new energy sales of joint venture brands, only the Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ "stood out" in May, selling nearly 4,000 units, rising 20 places.
The Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ is positioned as a pure electric compact SUV with a price range of CNY 193,900 to CNY 293,900. In March, there was a wave of limited-time preferential benefits with an official price of up to 40,000 yuan, but the terminal did not perform too well. On the other hand, in May, the highest increase of the year ushered in, and there are still good market offers.
Recently, FAW-Volkswagen launched the ID.4 CROZZ ACTIVE Lohas Edition, with a limited amount of car paint configuration optimization, priced at 217,900-293,900, what do you think will be the sales in June?
Ford Mondeo
May sales: 3,242 units
April sales: 2,882 units
This generation of Mondeo was replaced last year, when everyone said that "if you don't change for ten years, you will become a roll king". Originally thought that it could save Mondeo's sales, this year, there are still some "applause or not applause".
Buy a joint venture medium-sized car from 159,800, with a wheelbase of 2945mm, standard 2.0T + 8AT golden power, and also pull together the large-screen technology configuration in the car, which should be very suitable for the hearts of the Chinese people.
It can only be said that it did not choose to go public at a good time, these two years are precisely the turbulent period of market transformation, the consumption concept of Chinese people is changing, new energy vehicles are striving to be strong, low price and high availability are high, causing young people to itch; Some conservative consumer groups will choose first-line Japanese B-class cars. However, for consumers who only value the strength of the product, it is a good car worth buying.
BJ90
May sales: 3,409 units
April sales: 51 units
On the sales list, I also saw a particularly surprising model, BJ90 actually sold 3409 units?! You know, this car will only sell 384 units in 2022!
Friends who pay more attention to cars should know that the BJ90 reported a sharp drop of 710,000 in April, that is: spend 300,000 to buy a car with the same specifications as the Mercedes-Benz GLS? Objectively speaking, BJ90 is a serious Mercedes-Benz GLS shell change, the chassis/body/engine/gearbox are all original, and the driving texture is also similar. Spend another 20,000 yuan to change the interior, and you can basically get a GLS without a three-pronged star LOGO, but the experience of using the car is almost the same. Therefore, people on the Internet often say it: "mineral water bottled Maotai".
However, this car belongs to the model of "you buy I recommend, I buy I don't buy", if it were you, would you buy it? How many of the sales in May were paid for by real consumers?

Although buying a car cannot be based on sales alone, a high-sales car must have its excellent reasons. What are the advantages of these models with soaring sales in May? Leave a message to discuss!
