A few days ago, the passenger car sales query announced the automotive terminal sales ranking for September 2024, and the data showed that the sales of domestic passenger cars in September reached 2.169 million units, an increase of 9.7% year-on-year and 9.3% month-on-month. Next, let's take a look at the performance of major brands in the SUV and sedan markets.
SUV sales TOP50 list: Tanyue ranked among the top ten, Toyota, BYD three models on the list
In mid-September, SUV sales reached 1.056 million units, accounting for 48.7%, and the top 10 models on the list were Model Y, Song PLUS, Song L, Yuan PLUS, Li L6, Xingyue L, Tanyue, Corolla Ruifang, Fenglanda, and RAV4 Rongfang.
In the September SUV sales ranking, Tesla's Model Y unsurprisingly still ranked first, with monthly sales reaching 4,736 units, an increase of 3.46% month-on-month. Song PLUS, Song L, and Yuan PLUS, which are also owned by BYD, also maintain their top status, with monthly sales of 40,998, 25,334, and 25,331 respectively, winning the second, third, and fourth places on the list. Among them, Song PLUS is the only model in the list with sales of more than 40,000 in February, and Song L is the model with the largest increase in the top ten, with an increase of 42.5%, but surprisingly, Yuan PLUS has become the only model in the top ten that has declined month-on-month.
Ideal L sold 25,284 units in June, an increase of only 1.61% month-on-month, ranking fifth. Xingyue L followed, but the month-on-month growth was much higher, with an increase of 26.88%, and monthly sales of 21,613 units, ranking sixth. Tanyue's performance was somewhat surprising, with sales reaching 18,878 units in September, an increase of 34.62% month-on-month, successfully ranking among the top 10 on the list, ranking seventh. The remaining eighth to tenth are Toyota's models, followed by the eighth Corolla Ruifang, the ninth Fenglanda, and the tenth RAV4 Rongfang, with monthly sales of 17,363, 17,156, and 17,067 respectively.
From the perspective of the top 50, the SUV market as a whole in September was booming, with most models achieving month-on-month growth, with only 8 models declining, of which the largest decline was 24.23%.
Top 50 sedan sales list: Volkswagen has three models on the list, and BYD occupies the top four
In September, the sales of sedans reached 1.013 million units, accounting for 46.7%, and the top 10 models on the list were Seagull, Qin L, Qin PLUS, Seal 06, Sylphy, Wuling Hongguang mini, Lavida, Wuling Binguo, Suteng, and Passat.
In the sedan rankings, BYD began to show strong dominance, and its Seagull, Qin L, Qin PLUS, and Seal 06 directly won the top four seats in the list in one fell swoop, of which the monthly sales of the first-ranked Seagull reached 47,617 units, far ahead of other models.
With its advantages in many aspects, Sylphy stood out among many models, with monthly sales of 31,471 units, an increase of 9.4% month-on-month, ranking fifth. SAIC-GM-Wuling's Wuling Hongguang MINI and Wuling Binguo ranked sixth and eighth respectively. It is worth mentioning that Volkswagen has three of its models on the list in this list, second only to BYD in terms of quantity, namely the seventh Lavida, the ninth Suteng, and the tenth Passat (domestically produced).
From the top 50, the overall growth trend of the sedan market is inferior to that of SUVs, and the degree of change is also larger, and you can see that there are many new cars in the list, such as Xpeng MONA MO3 and so on. It is worth mentioning that Geely Panda Mini's sales growth in mid-September is quite exaggerated, and Wuling Hongguang Mini also has good sales, which shows that this kind of car is still very popular with the market.
MPV sales TOP50 list: Denza D9 fell out of the top three, GL8 is only 22 units away from breaking 10,000
In September, the sales of MPVs reached 100,000 units, accounting for about 4.6%, and the top 10 models on the list were GL8, Sena, Grevia, Denza D9, Trumpchi GM8, Trumpchi E8, Trumpchi GM6, Dreamer, Zeekrypton 009, and Jihu Koala.
As for the sales volume of the MPV market, it also ushered in a small climax in September, and the overall ranking has also changed significantly. It can be seen that the top three models have all reversed the trend of declining sales in August, among them, the first-ranked GL has only 22 units short of sales in August to successfully break 10,000 units, which is a pity. In addition, Grella managed to make it into the top three.
However, what I didn't expect was that the Denza D9, which used to climb to the top, failed to keep the top three this time, and only ranked fourth, looking forward to the performance in the future.
GAC Trumpchi's GM8, E8, and GM6 are still strong, ranking fifth, sixth, and seventh respectively. And VOYAH Auto also got rid of the bottom of the top 10 and came to eighth. ZEEKR 009 and ARCFOX Koala also continued to maintain their performance in August, ranking ninth and tenth respectively.
Summary: Thanks to the continuous development of national policies, the impact of the promotion of car trade-in, and the promotion of consumption during the holiday season, the automobile market in September as a whole showed a state of growth, creating a "golden nine" situation. In addition, the large number of new vehicles launched in September is also very positive, and the sales performance of each market in the next quarter is quite positive.
