AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/14 Report--

According to the retail sales data released by the Federation of passengers, there have been considerable adjustments in the top 15 car companies on the list. For example, SAIC-Volkswagen returned to the top of the list, BYD soared again, Tesla squeezed into the list for the first time, brilliance BMW and Beijing Mercedes-Benz both fell off the list.

As we all know, FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen have always occupied the top two market share of domestic passenger cars. FAW-Volkswagen has long been ahead of SAIC-Volkswagen and topped the list of passenger car companies, but it changed in September. SAIC-Volkswagen surpassed FAW-Volkswagen with a score of 123501 vehicles, and a decline of 48.6% also made FAW-Volkswagen the car company with the highest decline on the list. As for why SAIC-Volkswagen can surpass FAW-Volkswagen? The reason is that the shortage of chips has been alleviated, but it is uncertain whether it can lead FAW-Volkswagen for a long time. In addition, Geely also made it into the top three with a score of 95923, making it the highest-selling independent car company in China, ahead of SAIC General Motors, Dongfeng Nissan and Changan Automobile, also because of the easing of chip supply.

More significantly, BYD, SAIC-GM Wuling, Tesla China and Chery are among the few companies on the list that have achieved year-on-year growth, mainly due to the increase in sales of new energy vehicles. BYD, in particular, sold 78000 cars in September, of which New Energy reached 70000. Qin PLUS DM-i and Song DM both exceeded 10,000, ranking among the top 10 passenger car companies for two months in a row. In addition to BYD, Tesla also had an outstanding performance in September, including 33033 Model Y and 19120 Model 3, making it a new face on the list for the first time. For other automakers, SAIC GM Wuling mainly relies on Hongguang MINI, which sold 35169 vehicles in September, second only to Nissan Xuanyi in the car list. As for Chery, the new energy vehicles on sale include Erize 5e, Big Ant and Ruihu 3xe, but Chery eQ, which locates mini electric cars, has the highest sales, with 7813 units sold in September, up 104.4% from a year earlier.

Let's take a look at Japanese car companies. In September, the market performance of Japanese brands was not optimistic, which was significantly affected by the shortage of chips, especially Honda and Toyota. Honda and Toyota joint ventures were able to maintain a range of 60,000 vehicles, but the two Toyota joint ventures were only at the level of 50,000 vehicles. Specifically. Guangzhou Auto Honda and Dongfeng Honda sold 61469 and 60162 vehicles respectively, down 24.8 per cent and 31.0 per cent year-on-year, while FAW Toyota and Guangzhou Automobile Toyota sold 52863 and 49990 vehicles, both down 34.4 per cent from a year earlier.

In terms of luxury brands, brilliance BMW and Beijing Mercedes-Benz both fell out of the top 15, including 44397 brilliance BMW and 30272 Beijing Mercedes-Benz. As FAW-Audi falls under FAW-Volkswagen, its specific sales are unknown, but in terms of sales of its main products, Audi should be lower than BMW and Mercedes-Benz. According to the list of high-end models, among the domestic BBA brands, only BMW 5-Series has sold more than 10,000 vehicles, 14246 vehicles, and other models are less than 10,000 vehicles. BMW 3-Series and BMW X3 are 9113 and 9325 respectively, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Mercedes-Benz GLCs are 8136, 7227 and 7199 respectively, Audi A4L, Audi A6L and Audi Q5L are 6881, 4142 and 6884 respectively.

September is the peak season for traditional car sales, but in the market environment of chip shortage, the performance of major car companies is not optimistic. However, compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the market performance of new energy vehicles is relatively good. Under the influence of the state's strong support for the development of new energy vehicles and urban license restrictions, consumers begin to pay attention to new energy vehicle products. Of course, in the context of the substantial growth of new energy vehicles, the shortage of power supply has become the focus of social news, and the imperfection of new energy vehicle service facilities is also the key point that restricts consumers to choose new energy vehicles.
