The sales rankings for cars in May are released-they are all old faces, but their rankings have changed drastically

At the beginning of June, the narrow-sense passenger car sales rankings of the Chinese auto market in May arrived as promised.

Let's first take a look at the sales of the entire automobile market (the data source is "The Association of Passenger Transport", which is retail sales and is highly indicative).

In May, the sales of passenger cars in the narrow sense totaled 21.626 million s, showing an increase both month-on-month and year-on-year; while the cumulative sales from January to May reached 28.366 million s, a month-on-month increase of 38.2%. The above data can prove that China's auto market is still in a positive and thriving state.

In this article, we focus on the sales data of in the sedan market: the sales of cars in May were 2.794 million s, both increasing year-on-year and the best-selling among all types; the cumulative sales from January to May were ,406.2 10,000 vehicles, a month-on-month increase of 37.2%.

Insert a piece of knowledge science: "Year-on-year" refers to the comparison of sales in the same period of last year, for example, the year-on-year growth rate of in May sales = (sales in May 2021 - sales in May 2020) / sales in May 2020 ; And "ring" refers to the comparison with the previous month's sales of this year, such as May sales month-on-month growth rate = (May sales - April sales) / April sales.

Next, I will analyze and comment on the top 15 sedans in the May sales list , Let's go!

No. 1: Nissan Sylphy

May sold 38,000 units, and accumulated sales of 210,000 units from January to May.

Xuanyi ranked first is already a "common" thing. is comfortable, fuel-efficient and smooth . The key to Sylphy's success lies in its clear positioning, which maximizes the "home" attribute.

However, there are two things that Sylphy needs to pay attention to: the gap with the second place is getting smaller and smaller, and how to increase the sales ratio of the new Sylphy?

No. 2: Toyota Corolla

Sales of 35,000 units in May and cumulative sales of 149,000 units from January to May.

Corolla has not been in the second place for a long time, and has been suppressed by Xuanyi and Lavida for a long time before. The advantage of this generation of Corolla lies in the blessing of the TNGA architecture, and the performance in all aspects has been slightly improved. , especially the security configuration, is simply the industry's conscience . Coupled with the hot sales of hybrid models, Corolla is still very stable.

No. 3: Volkswagen Lavida

In May, it sold 30,000 units, and from January to May, it sold 181,000 units.

Lavida ranked third in sales in May, but its cumulative sales in 2021 will still be second, nearly 30,000 units less than Sylphy. The competition for the annual car sales champion is still in suspense at present.

The advantages of Lavida lie in its stable business appearance, MQB platform, good interior space, and the power of the 1.4T model will be stronger than that of Corolla and Sylphy. The main disadvantage is that the interior design and configuration level are general.

No. 4: Wuling Hongguang MiniEV

sold 29,700 units in May, and accumulated sales of 129,000 units from January to May.

Emgrand and Eado sales encountered bottlenecks, but fortunately Hongguang Mini sticks to the last dignity of domestic cars.

The success of Hongguang MiniEV is not accidental, because it really brings the characteristics of " scooter " into full play: extremely low price, green card and can be charged at home, very suitable for short-distance travel in the city Travel to and from get off work and take children to and from school. With , parking is convenient, and you can buy groceries one step faster than Pharaoh next door !

No. 5: Buick Yinglang

sold 27,000 units in May, and accumulated sales of 144,000 units from January to May.

Yinglang is definitely the most cost-effective joint venture car in this class, the Buick compact car that can land within 100,000. The high cost performance of Yinglang is due to the huge discount of about 50,000 yuan, and such a large discount of Yinglang is dragged down by the "three-cylinder engine". Fortunately, the has returned to the 4-cylinder engine, so the sales volume has gradually recovered to the 8-success force at its peak.

No. 6: Volkswagen Bora

sold 25,000 units in May, and accumulated sales of 142,000 units from January to May.

If I had to choose between Lavida and Bora, I should choose Bora. The two cars come from the same platform of Volkswagen and share 3 major parts ( engine , gearbox, chassis), and the Bora's appearance is a little more sporty, and the models with the same configuration are also cheaper.

No. 7: Toyota Ralink

May sold 24,000 units, and accumulated sales of 108,000 units from January to May.

Ralink and Corolla are also from the same architecture platform of Toyota. It can be said that " where you can see is different, and where you can't see is the same ". The mechanical qualities of the two cars are comparable, so choose whichever you like.

No. 8: Volkswagen Sagitar

In May, it sold 21,000 units, and accumulated sales of 126,000 units from January to May.

Have you found a pattern? The sales of Volkswagen's Lavida, Bora and Sagitar all declined year-on-year in May. It seems that the impact of chips is still there. Of course, another reason for the decline in Sagitar's sales is direct competition from Toyota Asia Lion and Geely Xingrui. In the near future, Lingshang will be added, including the recently replaced modern famous figure . The competition in the A+ level market of is particularly fierce this year!

No. 9: BMW 3 Series

sold 19,000 units in May, and accumulated sales of 84,000 units from January to May.

Before the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class goes on sale, the BMW 3 Series' sales crown should be difficult to shake (in the field of luxury brands). The reason why the 3 series of the

generation is so successful, in addition to the sporty design as always, the most important thing is that has a better balance between control and comfort orientation .

No. 10: BMW 5 Series

Sales of 17,000 units in May and cumulative sales of 77,000 units from January to May.

what? BMW again! What are Mercedes-Benz and Audi doing ? ?

No. 11: Audi A6L

16,600 units were sold in May, and 79,000 units were sold from January to May.

This generation of Audi A6L got rid of the greasy feeling of the previous "official car", and the sense of technology is bursting!

No. 12: Honda Accord

Sales of 16,500 units in May, cumulative sales of 82,000 units from January to May.

Honda has "killed the Quartet" in the SUV market, but has kept a low profile in the sedan market. The Accord did not have the sharp-edgedness of last year, and the Civic was even more "off the list".

No. 13: Toyota Camry

May sold 16,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 5.1%.

The mid-term facelift model is on the market, and the Accord is not in the best state. Now is the best moment for Camry to hit the B-class car sales champion.

No. 14: Geely Emgrand

5,500 units were sold in May, and 82,000 units were sold in total from January to May.

Geely Xingrui's entire 2.0T series has a high positioning, so the heavy responsibility of rushing sales still depends on the Emgrand family. Although this generation of Emgrand is super cost-effective, it is already old. Fortunately, a new generation of Emgrand should come soon.

No. 15: Volkswagen Santana

May sold 15,400 units, a year-on-year increase of 15%.

Santana's sales in May are likely to be just " and ". After all, the sales of such an old model are also declining year by year.

Summary

The above is the top 15 car sales rankings in China's auto market in May. Among them, 4 Volkswagen brands are on the list, 3 Toyota brands are on the list, 3 luxury brands BBA are on the list, 2 domestic brands are on the list, and Korean and French cars have not been on the list for a long time. Appeared on the list.

Finally, let’s talk about domestic brand sedans. Only 2 models are on the list, which are indeed a bit shabby (especially compared with the SUV market), such as Geely Xingrui, Changan Yidong , Chery Arrizo, MG 5 and other models are also available. Those with strength on the list, I hope that domestic brands will not focus on SUVs, but also create several high-quality explosive cars!
