AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/07 Report--

Dongfeng Motor Group released its latest sales figures on May 6th, showing that it sold 268473 vehicles in April and 971233 from January to April. Among them, passenger car sales in April were 201363, with a cumulative sales of 739043 from January to April.

In terms of brands, Dongfeng Nissan and Dongfeng Honda remain the main sources of sales for Dongfeng Motor Group, with the two brands accounting for 75 per cent of total passenger car sales.

Dongfeng Nissan (including Qichen) sold 90206 vehicles in April and 348885 from January to April. The main models are Xuanyi, Teana, Xiaoke and Qijun. This year is also the year of Dongfeng Nissan's products, such as the new generation of Qijun and the new pure electric Ariya will be listed this year, the new product listing has a certain positive effect on the brand, but as the new generation of Qijun is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, there are great variables in its future development.

Infiniti, a high-end brand, has lost its glory, selling only 322 vehicles in April and 911 from January to April, down 76.42% from a year earlier. At present, Infiniti has only two domestic models on sale, and the overall sales are very low, because the epidemic affected the overall low sales last year, but Infiniti's sales still fell sharply.

Dongfeng Honda sold 81758 vehicles in April and a cumulative sales of 284719 vehicles from January to April. The main products are CR-V, XR-V and Civic. It is understood that the new generation of Civic will be listed this year. Honda has released the 11th Generation Civic before May Day, and the domestic version has also been declared in China. Judging from the espionage photos and declaration pictures exposed, the front face of the new Civic is equipped with a large air intake grille with a sharp shape on both sides of the front, and the overall design is similar to that of the Accord. Interior decoration is also similar to Accord, including suspended central control screen and through-type air conditioning outlet. In terms of power, the new car will use a high-and low-power 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 129hp and 182hp respectively. The whole system will match the CVT gearbox.

Let's take a look at DPCA, which sold 7595 cars in April and 25134 from January to April. Judging from the data, it is not difficult for DPCA to exceed its sales for the whole of last year. After all, DPCA has been greatly affected by the epidemic, and production has been suspended for a long time, which has had a greater impact on sales.

This year is also an important first year of development for DPCA. At the Shanghai auto show, Dongfeng Peugeot launched a new brand logo and launched three new products, namely, 4008, 4008 PHEV and 5008. In addition, the Peugeot 308 will be made domestically next year, becoming the first Dongfeng Peugeot model with a new logo. Dongfeng Citroen's main new product this year is the C5X Versailles, a new medium-sized cross-border car under the Citroen brand, which will be delivered at the end of the year.

Among the joint venture brands, among the sales of KuaiBao, only Dongfeng Yueda Kia has not released specific figures. It is understood that Dongfeng Yueda Kia sold 12500 vehicles in April, and the specific growth rate was not disclosed, which is enough to see its current development in the domestic market. At the Shanghai Auto Show, Dongfeng Yueda Kia launched a new brand logo and brought a number of new products such as Zhirun Ace, the fourth generation Jiahua, Kia EV6 and so on. Although Kia's sales in the Chinese market are very mediocre, it is worth looking forward to whether the new products can bring new driving force for development.

As for independent brands, Dongfeng Fengshen sold 7300 vehicles in April, Dongfeng Fashion sold 10, 000 vehicles, and Dongfeng Fengfeng sold 14300 vehicles.

In terms of overall sales, Dongfeng Automobile Group mainly depends on Dongfeng Nissan and Dongfeng Honda. Whether DPCA and Dongfeng Yueda Kia become up-and-comers still needs to be tested by the market. Of course, there is still a big gap between the two brands from their peak. As for its own brand, its sales have been depressed for many years, and its development is very grim.
