AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/10 Report--

Affected by last year's epidemic, the overall base is low, so that the passenger car market sales generally doubled in February this year, this performance is particularly evident in the best-selling models. According to data from the Federation of passengers, sales in the domestic narrow passenger car market reached 1.177 million in February, up 371.9% from a year earlier, down 45.5% from January to February, up 69.6% from a year earlier.

In terms of specific models, car sales in February were 558000, an increase of 345.1% over the same period last year, an increase of 63000 MPVs, an increase of 240.7% over the same period last year, an increase of 556000 SUV sales, an increase of 426.7% over the same period last year, and sales of 97000 new energy narrow passenger vehicles, an increase of 675.0% over the same period last year.

Judging from the car list, in addition to the excellent performance of luxury brands in February this year, electric car brands also have a number of models on the list, reflecting that new energy vehicles have gradually become the main force in the market. Overall, the ranking of models in February has not changed much, with the top three being occupied by Volkswagen Xinlang Yi, Nissan Xuanyi and Toyota Corolla.

Xinlangyi has been in the post-Xuanyi position last year and returned to the top of the list in 2021, which also shows that its products have boosted sales with expanded terminal discounts. On the other hand, Nissan Xuanyi maintains a stable sales model of "old and new". Toyota Corolla in the case of joining the three-cylinder model, but there is no decline in sales, but to achieve sales growth, it can be seen that Toyota's product strength is very strong.

The midsize sedan has been replaced by Maiteng from last year's top Accord, but sales are far behind luxury brands, meaning there is a growing willingness to buy at the top of the market. After all, luxury brands such as the Audi A6 and the BMW 3-Series were promoted in February.

And independent models on the list of only two from Geely and Changan Dihao and Yitou, of which Yisheng anti-Dihao also shows that Changan has performed more prominently this year. Also on the list is independent brand Wuling Hongguang MINI, except that it appears on the list as a new energy model, and this model appears on the list together with Tesla Model 3, which also shows that new energy models are gradually being recognized by the market.

Judging from the SUV list, the February sales list finally showed a "change of owners", the first since the Harvard H6 lasted 92 months. Despite the decline in the ranking of Harvard H6, sales remained strong at more than 30,000 units in February, which is why Great Wall officially released February insurance data to show that Harvard H6 was still higher than Changan CS75 series in February, which shows that both of them are quite concerned about this ranking.

Compared with the previous domestic SUV market, the performance of independent brands declined in February this year. In January this year, there were only four independent brands on the list. The other one is Geely Boyue, which has been on the list, and a new model, Auchan X5, which means that in February this year, brand power will be concentrated back under the joint venture brand.

In addition to the Audi Q5 on the list, the BMW X3 has also been promoted to the list, indicating that, like the car market, the luxury market has expanded.

According to the MPV list, Wuling is once again the champion of the MPV market, but it is not the previous commercial models that have boosted its sales, but higher sales after the launch of Wuling's first silver-standard model, Wuling Capgemini. Through the cost-effective route, emphasizing both price and space, it successfully snatched part of the sales of Baojun 730 and Baojun RM-5, while squeezing the same price models of BYD Song MAX and Geely Jiaji, so that the growth of this part of the model year on year was lower than that of the market.

And the high-end MPV market, deserves to be Buick GL8 to continue, year-on-year to achieve a certain degree of growth, regardless of less than ten thousand vehicles. And the most obvious growth of high-end MPV is Chuanqi M8 and Honda's Eric Gentry, which helped increase brand sales due to the support of performance-to-price ratio.

As for the performance of the new energy market is significantly better than the traditional model market, Wuling Hongguang MINI has promoted the demand for new energy vehicles in more domestic cities under the influence of ultra-high performance-to-price ratio, and it has become the highest new energy single model in the world. The second is Tesla, which has a strong domestic brand, not only the Model 3 model, but also in the environment of increasing production capacity, Model Y has become a new energy model with high domestic sales and has successfully surpassed other new energy models.

By contrast, Biadihan, who has always been favored by the market, has slipped in the rankings, even less than Euler R1. In terms of new power, ideal is higher than the other two NIO models, the ES6 and the EC6.

Overall, it is not surprising that most models were able to achieve year-on-year growth, mainly due to the low base of the epidemic last year, but the list can also tell us some information. The performance of the new energy market is higher, and the exchange of high-end models has become a trend in the stock era. Once again, independent brands do not perform as well as joint venture brands.
