September Car Sales list, SAIC Volkswagen finally took the first place

According to the manufacturer's retail sales data released by the Association, the top 15 car companies on the list have undergone significant adjustments. For example, SAIC Volkswagen has returned to the top of the list, BYD has achieved a skyrocket again, Tesla has squeezed into the list for the first time, and Brilliance Both BMW and Beijing Benz fell out of the list.

As we all know, FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen have been occupying the top two domestic passenger car market shares. Among them, FAW-Volkswagen has long been ahead of SAIC-Volkswagen as the number one passenger car company. However, changes occurred in September. SAIC-Volkswagen surpassed FAW-Volkswagen with 123,501 vehicles. , A 48.6% drop also made FAW-Volkswagen the car company with the highest drop in the list. As for why SAIC-Volkswagen can overtake FAW-Volkswagen? The reason is that the shortage of chips has been alleviated, but it is still uncertain whether it can lead FAW-Volkswagen for a long time. In addition, Geely Automobile also squeezed into the top three with 95,923 vehicles, becoming China's highest-selling independent car company, leading SAIC-GM, Dongfeng Nissan, Changan Automobile, etc., also because of the ease of chip supply.

What is more noteworthy is that BYD Auto, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Tesla China and Chery Auto are among the few auto companies on the list to achieve year-on-year growth. The main reason is the increase in sales of new energy vehicles. In particular, BYD Automobile sold 78,000 vehicles in September, of which 70,000 were new energy vehicles. Qin PLUS DM-i and Song DM both exceeded 10,000, ranking among the top ten passenger car companies for two consecutive months. In addition to BYD cars, Tesla's performance in September was also very impressive. Among them, Model Y was 33033 and Model 3 was 19,120, making it a new face on the list for the first time.

In terms of other automakers, SAIC-GM-Wuling mainly relies on Hongguang MINI, which sold 35,169 vehicles in September, second only to Nissan Sylphy in the car list. As for Chery Automobile, its new energy vehicles on sale include Arrizo 5e, Big Ant, Tiggo 3xe, etc., but Chery eQ (Little Ant), which is positioned as a mini-electric car, has the highest sales volume. A total of 7813 units were sold in September. A year-on-year increase of 104.4%.

Let`s take a look at Japanese car companies. In September, the market performance of Japanese brands was not very optimistic, and the impact of chip shortages was obviously aggravated. In particular, Honda and Toyota fell sharply. The two joint ventures of Honda can still maintain the range of 60,000. However, the two joint ventures of Toyota are only at the level of 50,000 vehicles. Let's look at it concretely. The sales of GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda were 61,469 and 60,162, respectively, representing a year-on-year decline of 24.8% and 31.0%; FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota`s sales were 52,863 and 49,990, both down 34.4% year-on-year.

In terms of luxury brands, BMW Brilliance and Beijing Benz both fell out of the top fifteen. Among them, BMW Brilliance has 44,397 vehicles, and Beijing Benz has 30,272 vehicles. Since FAW-Audi is under FAW-Volkswagen, its specific sales are unknown, but the sales of its main products From a standpoint, Audi should be lower than BMW and Mercedes-Benz. According to the list of high-end models, among the domestic BBA brands, only one model of the BMW 5 Series has sold more than 10,000 units, which is 14,246. There were 9,325 vehicles, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Mercedes-Benz GLC were 8,136, 7,227, and 7,199, and Audi A4L, Audi A6L, and Audi Q5L were 6,881, 4142, and 6,884, respectively.

September is the peak season for traditional car sales, but under 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 still relatively good. Under the influence of the country's strong support for the development of new energy vehicles and the influence of urban license restrictions, consumers have begun 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 a key point that restricts consumers from choosing new energy vehicles.
