Today, the China Passenger Car Association announced the September car sales data. Among them, the retail volume of SUV models increased by 16.2% year-on-year and 1.9% month-on-month, and the cumulative retail volume in September was 852,000 units. Let’s take a look at which models are on the SUV sales rankings in September!
Note: The above data comes from the retail sales ranking report of the China Passenger Association in September 2022
1. Tesla Model Y surpassed BYD Song family and reached the top again;
2. The top three are only one fuel SUV model;
3. Although BYD lost its championship, three BYD models were shortlisted for the top ten, and the momentum was still strong.
In September, Tesla Model Y successfully surpassed the BYD Song family and reached the top again, with sales of more than 40,000 units. Some time ago, news came out of a discount of 8,000 yuan. I wonder if this will be helpful to sales in September. At present, Tesla Model Y is still the best pure electric SUV sold in China.
Starting next year, Shanghai will cancel the green license plate of plug-in hybrid new energy models, which may have a certain impact on the sales of BYD Song family. After all, the waiting period of this car is basically more than 3 months, so I am afraid that the car will be picked up and the green sign will be gone. However, with its excellent product strength and affordable prices, it is estimated that the top 2 SUV sales list in the short term will still be the competition between it and Tesla Model Y. After all, its sales volume is more than the third and fourth combined.
At present, the top three of the list are only Haval H6, a fuel SUV model. Although it has always been criticized for its high fuel consumption, the high cost performance and strong reliability of Haval H6 still make many consumers considering SUVs pay out real money to support it. Some time ago, Haval H6 released a hybrid version and will release a plug-in hybrid version in the future. We look forward to the performance of this car in the future.
In September, the sales of Changan CS75 PLUS is only 38 units different from that of Haval H6. I wonder if it is expected to surpass Haval H6 in the future. Compared with Haval H6, the design of Changan CS75 PLUS is more youthful, attracting more young consumers. However, Haval H6 has begun to develop new energy. I wonder if Changan CS75 PLUS will follow up in the later stage?
BYD Yuan PLUS can be said to be "the peak of his debut". Since its launch in March, it has been a frequent visitor to the SUV sales list. The new energy vehicle models that BYD has previously launched have already made a reputation for this model, and BYD Yuan PLUS itself is also successful, equipped with blade batteries and BYD E platform 3.0, making it very competitive.
BYD calls itself the "leader of new energy vehicles" on its official website. This is not a boast. When you see the top 10 BYD models on the list, you will know that BYD does have this strength. At the end of August, BYD released the Tang DM-p. Compared with the DM-i model, this car has better power and meets the needs of consumers who want to pursue control. That's right, the BYD Tang family has been directly promoted to the top ten.
For medium-sized SUVs between 200,000 and 300,000 yuan, the Volkswagen Tiguan L should be a model that cannot be avoided. Although it does not have much characteristics, balance is actually a highlight. However, at present, the particle capturer blocking problem of Volkswagen Tiguan L has discouraged many consumers who were originally planning to buy it, and this point needs to be improved later.
Mercedes-Benz still has strong appeal among luxury brands. In September, Mercedes-Benz GLC sold a total of 13,740 units, a year-on-year increase of 90.9%. With exquisite interior, large Mercedes-Benz logo, and this car starts from about 350,000 yuan after discounts in the terminal market, Mercedes-Benz GLC has become the first choice for many consumers to upgrade their consumption.
Toyota RAV4 entered the Chinese market early on. Its shape is elegant and durable, and its characteristics have left a good reputation in the hearts of many older consumers. Toyota hybrid models were actually available very early, but later domestic brands went further in the new energy generation and had a more favorable price. Judging from the list, consumers have already made votes with their feet.
Compared with many new energy models, Honda CR-V gives people the feeling that it is more balanced, stable and reliable. Some time ago, Honda CR-V released a new generation of models, which have been upgraded in terms of appearance and configuration. I wonder how the market will perform in the future?
"Golden Jiu" report card has been happy and sad. At present, new energy SUV models have still received more attention. Traditional old car companies rely on word of mouth to support sales, but the decline is gradually emerging. Are you more optimistic about new energy SUVs or pure fuel SUVs?
