Among them, there are as many as 39 cars with cumulative sales of more than 100,000 units and 9 cars with annual sales exceeding 200,000 units. I have to boast about the consumption level of the Chinese people!
So, what are the best-selling cars? Who are the dark horses? Let's take a look!
Top 1 car sales:
Nissan Sylphy
Sales in 2023: 376109 units
Although most people on the Internet have mixed reviews of the Sylphy, it does not prevent it from selling well. The annual sales volume in 2023 will be 376,100 units, ranking first in annual car sales, and second only to Model Y in the 2023 car sales list.
The Sylphy series currently includes three models of Sylphy Classic, current Sylphy and Sylphy super-hybrid electric drive sold at the same frequency, and it is still selling well because of the product characteristics of fuel economy and easy maintenance. Among the sales composition, the proportion of Sylphy classic is quite high, although it belongs to the previous generation of models, but it also continues to be updated, and recently launched the 2024 model, the cost performance is really high, the price of the low configuration naked car is about 80,000 yuan, the seat is comfortable, the durability is high, and the car is cheap.
The largest proportion of sales is the new Sylphy, which is richer than the classic Sylphy, has a higher appearance, and looks more luxurious. Although the power of 1.6L+CVT is weaker, it can also meet most of the travel needs for friends who do not pursue zero hundred acceleration and passion, smooth and easy to drive, stable, reliable and economical are all verified by time;
For users who want to have the high torque of an electric vehicle and still have a conservative view of the long-term reliability of electrification, the super-hybrid electric drive Sylphy is another good option, "gasoline power generation, and then electric motor drive", its starting acceleration is significantly faster than the ordinary Sylphy. The point is that fuel consumption is also terrifyingly low, on average, the real total fuel consumption is more than 3.5L, before we were still in traffic jams and high-speed racing, and the final limit fuel consumption is more than 4L.
In short, the reason why Sylphy can be sold as the annual car sales champion is largely because its attributes meet the traditional understanding of consumption control by users of this budget group.

SAIC Volkswagen Lavida

Lavida has sold more than 5.5 million new cars in China so far, and it is still able to dominate the list, which is enough to prove that its product strength has withstood the market verification. As a very pragmatic car, one of its selling points lies in the power, focusing on the 1.5L+6AT combination, although the book parameters of 110Ps/141Nm are not as good as the Sylphy, but in terms of acceleration performance, both the physical feeling and the actual results are faster than the Sylphy, when driving below 60km/h in the city, its power performance is very good, and the low configuration is more solid. In congested urban areas, the measured fuel consumption is 7.5 liters for a distance of 90 km. If you want more pleasure, there is also a 1.5T option, 160Ps/250Nm.
If the budget is low and the space requirements are not too high, you can choose the cutting-edge version, and the price of the top naked car after the discount is only 100,000. With a wheelbase of 2651mm, two adult men sit in the back row. It supports CarPlay and is equipped with AEB automatic emergency braking system and digital parking radar as standard. If you care about the space in the back, the normal version and the starry sky version are more suitable.
Compared with Sylphy, Lavida pays more attention to driving experience and handling, and it is more suitable to choose Lavida for driver-led car needs.
