AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/12 Report--

The latest monthly midsize car sales list has been released! Judging from the list, due to the impact of the epidemic and the supply of spare parts, there were some changes in the ranking of medium-sized cars in August, with all the German-Japanese joint venture models at the top of the list, especially the competition between BBA and traditional mainstream brands. It is worth mentioning that this month's list includes not only cars, but also SUV.

Judging from the list, Tesla Model Y won the top place in medium-sized car sales with a score of 31112 vehicles. Tesla sold 76965 vehicles wholesale in China in August, including 42463 for export and 34502 for domestic retail, including 31112 Model Y and 3390 Model 3, according to the Federation of passengers. At present, the performance of Model Y in China is better than that of Model 3. According to the official website, the Model 3 is currently expected to be delivered in 6-10 weeks, while the Model Y rear-wheel drive version is expected to be delivered in 1-4 weeks. According to the plan, the models produced in the first two months of each quarter are mainly supplied to overseas markets, and only delivered to domestic consumers in the third month. Therefore, if nothing happens, Tesla's domestic delivery volume will soar in September.

Camry, Accord and Teana are also known as the "three heroes of Japan", and the performance of the three models in the medium-sized car market is obvious to all. Honda Accord sold 21861 vehicles in August, while Toyota Camry sold 21325, a significant increase from July, but Honda Accord overtook Toyota Camry by 536 vehicles, according to the data. As for Nissan Teana, retail sales of 14176 vehicles in August, down from 16339 in July, may be affected by medium-term changes.

Prior to this, the new Nissan Teana has been unveiled, and the front face of the new car partially weakens the V-shaped front grille style. although it is still an inverted trapezoidal large-size front grille, the new car replaces the chrome strip on the edge of the current grille with horizontal strip elements, corresponding to the internal spokes of the grill. increases the visual width of the front face. It is understood that the new car will be officially launched this year, but the exact time is unknown.

In the past, BMW outperformed Mercedes-Benz and Audi in the BBA luxury brand camp, but it did the opposite in August. According to the list, sales of both the BMW 3-Series and the BMW X3 fell year-on-year, with the BMW 3-Series down 38.3% year-on-year to 9601 and the BMW X3 down 25.1% to 10032. In contrast, Mercedes-Benz and Audi both achieved year-on-year growth in the same class, with Audi A4L up 65.2 per cent to 13883, Mercedes-Benz C-Class up 113.7 per cent to 10479 and Mercedes-Benz GLCs up 115.0 per cent to 14557.

On August 26th, the mid-term revamped BMW 3-Series officially launched, with a total of 9 new models, with a price range of 29.99-399900 yuan. As a result, the decline in BMW 3-series sales may be affected by medium-term changes, after all, buying new rather than old. As for the BMW X3, a number of car owners complained that the car machine function system was not in line with publicity, and the official propaganda that ID7 had functions such as software upgrade and voice control, but the actual vehicle did not have this function, so it was complained by a large number of car owners, and these complaints more or less affected the desire of car owners to buy.

Volkswagen Maiteng and Volkswagen Passat are sister models, but there is a big difference in sales between the two models, and consumers are more inclined to Passat. The data showed that Passat sold 17253 vehicles in August, while Maiteng sold 12829, a difference of 4424. It is understood that the mid-term revamped Passat was officially launched in August 2021, while Maiteng, as a sister model, is still on sale in 2020 and will be launched in December 2019.

In addition, Volkswagen Touguan L and Volkswagen Touyue are also sister models to each other, of which 12414 are Tuguan L and only 1974 are Touyue, which is likely to be affected by the medium-term change. On August 23rd, FAW-Volkswagen's new Tanyue family officially launched on the market, with a price of 20.79-266900 yuan. Among them, Tanyue sells for 20.79-259900 yuan, Tanyue GTE sells for 244900 yuan, and Tanyue X sells for 23.59-266900 yuan. As for the Tuguan L, a medium-term revamped model was launched as early as August 2021.

Looking at fewer than 10,000 models, the M5 sold 7372 vehicles in August, second only to Tesla Model Y and BYD Tang, two new energy models. Admittedly, the continued high sales of AITO can not be separated from the support of Huawei, and the reason why consumers buy the M5 also depends on the brand and strength of Zhonghua.

In addition, as an once moribund Mondeo, sales have stabilized after the replacement. April 13, the new generation of Mondeo officially launched, a total of four new models, the price range of 15.98-216800 yuan. In terms of power, the new generation of Mondeo is equipped with 2.0T turbocharged engine, maximum power 175kw, matching 8-speed manual self-integrated gearbox. According to the sales data, Mondeo's sales from June to August were 6423, 6406 and 5992 respectively, while the sales remained at about 3000 before the replacement.

On July 26th, the new generation Red Flag H5 officially launched, the new car launched a total of seven equipped models, the price range is 15.98-225800 yuan. It is worth mentioning that the new generation of red flag H5 will be sold in the same room with the previous generation of red flag H5, which is named "Red Flag H5 Classic" and the official guiding price is 14.58-190800 yuan. Figures show that a total of 7801 red flag H5 classics were sold in August, while the new red flag H5 sold a total of 4147. At present, the old H5 is still the main sales model of the Red Flag brand, and whether the new H5 can surpass the old H5 still needs to be verified in the future.

Japanese family cars represented by Camry, Accord and Teana are synonymous with economic benefits, which is why they can last in the market for a long time. However, as the new energy vehicle market continues to explode, more and more car companies have launched corresponding auto products, such as ET5 under Xilai. Qin Lihong, the co-founder, bluntly said that he sold more than the BMW 3-Series within a year. It is still unknown whether the ET5 can surpass the BMW 3-Series, but under the tuyere of new energy vehicles, more and more new energy models will impact traditional models.
