According to the latest statistics released by the Passenger Car Association, the retail sales of the domestic narrow passenger car market in September were 2.109 million units, a year-on-year increase of 4.5% and a month-on-month increase of 10.6%; At the same time, the cumulative sales from January to September this year have reached 15.574 million units, a year-on-year increase of 2.2%.
With the steady development of the national scrapping and renewal policy and the "old for new" replacement policy in various places, and the festival effect of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, the auto market has also entered a period of steady rise in September, and the effect of the "Golden Nine" market has reappeared; At the same time, in the SUV segment that month, a number of pure fuel models returned to the top 10 of the list, finally stopping the long-lasting "decline".
In the September SUV sales ranking, Tesla's Model Y won the championship with 48,202 units, showing the strong competitiveness of electric vehicles in the SUV market. BYD's Yuan PLUS and Song PLUS DM-i ranked second and third with sales of more than 25,000 units, respectively, further consolidating BYD's leading position in the new energy SUV market.
In addition, the Li L6 became the best-selling model of medium and large SUVs with 25,393 units, ranking fourth, and its competitor Wenjie M7 ranked 9th with 17,940 units sold. As for the Geely Xingyue L, it won the sales championship of fuel SUVs with sales of 19,044 units, ranking 6th in the entire SUV list, which also shows Geely's strong performance in the traditional fuel SUV market.
Looking at some of the highlight models that did not enter the top 10 of the list, their sales performance is also relatively good. As a small SUV, BYD Yuan UP ranked 14th with 16,018 units sold; At the same time, the Mercedes-Benz GLC has become the sales champion of luxury fuel SUVs with more than 15,000 units sold. In addition, the RAV4 Rongfang also ranked 11th with sales of 17,079 units.
The sales data in September shows that the performance of new energy SUV models in the market is becoming more and more prominent; At the same time, the strong sales of BYD, Tesla and Li also prove that consumer demand for electric vehicles/new energy vehicles in the SUV segment is increasing.
In addition, traditional fuel SUV models such as Geely Xingyue L and Mercedes-Benz GLC still maintain high sales, which also highlights that high-quality traditional fuel models still have a certain demand and competitiveness in the market.
Overall, the SUV segment is showing a trend of diversification, while new energy vehicles maintain strong growth momentum, traditional fuel models are also maintaining their market position through continuous product innovation and marketing strategy adjustment.
