Comparison of the top 10 car sales in 2013 and 2023, what changes have occurred in the past ten years?

In the decade from 2013 to 2023, China's auto industry and China's auto market have also undergone a lot of changes.

Today, let's compare the top 10 sedan sales rankings in 2013 and 2023 to see what has changed in this decade.

In the 10-year data comparison, Chinese brands entered the top 10, and 3 joint venture models were discontinued

Compared with the top 10 sedan sales in 2013 and 2023, the most obvious change is that Chinese brands could not enter the top 10 sales ten years ago, and in the top 10 sales in 2023, there are already three Chinese brands with a total of five models entering the top 10 sales list.

Specifically, the Chevrolet Cruze, Sail, Buick Excelle and other models that were on the list ten years ago have been discontinued, and the Jetta has also changed from a single model to an independent brand, and its sales performance is not as good as before.

The 2013 sales champion Focus is now far from the top 10 in terms of sales, with only 4,012 units sold in 2023, ranking 192nd on the sedan list. In addition, the joint venture models such as Sylphy, Lavida, Sutar, Camry, and Passat are still in the top ten of the year, which shows that the product strength of these cars is still very good.

Let's take a look at the performance of Chinese brands, BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, Dolphin, Seagull, Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, GAC Aion AION S and other strong rise, these five models are currently hot-selling new energy models, in their respective market segments have this very outstanding performance, such changes show that Chinese brands and new energy in the joint venture brand and fuel vehicle camp in front of the strong rise.

Judging from the top ten sales in 2023, which of these five fuel models will leave the TOP10 in the next ten years?

In the past decade, the sales of traditional fuel vehicles have declined sharply

Ten years of changes, the decline in sales of fuel vehicles is worth paying attention to.

The total sales of the top ten car sales in 2023 will be about 2.71 million units, of which the total sales of the five traditional fuel vehicles in the top ten will be about 1.42 million units, while the top ten car sales in 2013 are all fuel vehicles, with a total sales volume of 2.84 million units, and the total sales volume of the top ten fuel vehicles has fallen by 50% in ten years.

In fact, the decline of fuel vehicles is the inevitable development of market changes, such as the 2013 champion Focus, now not only to face the competition of new energy vehicles, but also to face the competition of SUVs and B-class cars, the top price of Focus is 145,800 yuan, and the lowest transaction price of Mondeo is only 137,800 yuan.

Just imagine: with a budget of 140,000 yuan, would you still choose Fox?

In addition, this year's car TOP1 is Sylphy, Sylphy's current lowest transaction price has reached about 80,000 yuan, and in 2013, 80,000 yuan can you buy a Sylphy?

Ten years later, new energy vehicles have risen strongly

Regardless of whether you put new energy vehicles first when buying a car, it cannot change the fact that new energy vehicles have risen strongly in the Chinese auto market.

Among the top 10 car sales in 2023, the total sales of five traditional fuel vehicles will be about 1.42 million units, and the total sales of five new energy vehicles will be about 1.29 million units, and the gap between these two types of models is only 130,000 units, which confirms that new energy vehicles have risen.

As the sales leader of new energy vehicles in China, three models entered the top 10 in sales, and its Dynasty, Ocean, Denza, Formula Leopard, and Yangwang collectively made efforts, with annual sales of 3.02 million units, winning the double championship of the Chinese market and the global market of new energy vehicles, and entering the top 10 in global sales.

GAC Aion's annual sales in 2023 will be 480,003 units, a year-on-year increase of 77%, significantly outperforming the industry, and it also reached a cumulative production and sales of one million on December 28. The performance of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV is obvious to all, and it has already reached the achievement of one million vehicles, and has become the leader of scooters.

In fact, the change in the top 10 sales list is only a microcosm of the entire list, the overall sales of fuel vehicles and joint venture brands are showing a downward trend, and the sales of Chinese brands and new energy brands are showing a rapid upward trend.

In 2023, "involution" is the hot word that can best reflect the new energy vehicle market, and in 2024, the situation of "flipping the table" and "involution melee" in the new energy vehicle market may become more and more intense.

Conclusion

The changes you see in the sales list year by year are not obvious, but through the comparison of ten years, you will find that there are not only many changes, but also a lot of changes, and many changes are unexpected.

In the next ten years, the development speed of new energy vehicles is getting faster and faster, perhaps not ten years, in China's automobile market, the market pattern of new energy vehicles will be greater than fuel vehicles, and in this fierce competition, there are no fuel car companies to be eliminated, and there are new energy vehicle companies after sinking, let us wait for the changes in the next decade!
