As new energy vehicle gradually becomes the mainstream way of buying cars at present, we have to admit that pure fuel vehicles have really begun to be sold.

Take the SUV sales list in October just now for example. Among the top five SUV models in sales, 2 are new energy SUVs. Among them, BYD Song PLUS DM-i sold more than 50,000 new cars in one month, which makes it easier to play with those purely fuel-friendly SUVs?

You should know that among the top five SUV sales list in October, the sales volume of the three models, Haval H6, Honda CR-V and Changan CS75 PLUS, all have only 59,300 new car sales data. So in this way, can it be further proved that pure fuel vehicles are indeed declining nowadays, and hybrid and even pure electric models led by BYD Song PLUS DM-i are already rising silently?

With a further forward-looking attitude towards the automobile consumer market, let’s take a closer look at the top five SUV market sales in October, and also analyze the future sales trends and reasons for these models. I don't need to say more about the BYD Song PLUS DM-i model, which is ranked first in the SUV sales list in October, must be said of me. The main reason why this car can sell well is that it is indeed very fuel-efficient. After all, the actual fuel consumption of only 4-5L per 100 kilometers is impossible to use on any pure fuel SUV. Therefore, fuel-efficient and easy to use has become the biggest reason for the hot sales of Song PLUS DM-i.

In addition, the manufacturer's guide price of 152,800 to 216,800 yuan set by BYD for Song PLUS DM-i is also quite affordable. You should know that the same level can achieve a powerful power of Song PLUS DM-i, which is not as cheap as it is, and it can have fuel-saving power. Therefore, after comprehensive comparison, BYD Song PLUS DM-i, which has more technological accumulation, strong enough product strength and affordable prices, has naturally become people's first choice when buying hybrid SUVs.

In short, the popularity of Song PLUS DM-i models is both strength and trend. Living in such a big environment where the country and even the world vigorously advocate energy conservation and emission reduction to achieve carbon neutrality and carbon peak goals, buying Song PLUS DM-i is indeed the most reasonable choice now, isn’t it?

second place is Haval H6, the former "sales overlord" in the field of traditional fuel vehicles. In October, Haval H6 delivered a sales report card of 26,580 new cars. Overall, sales performance is still relatively stable, which closely keeps up with the sales "step" of BYD Song PLUS DM-i.

product strength, the current Haval H6 still has a very generous appearance, which allows it to attract many consumers to pay for it. In addition, Haval H6 has also been continuously upgrading its intelligence level. New cars have also been further decentralized, such as 360-degree panoramic image, voice recognition system, and a full set of active security system . As for power, Haval H6 has done a good job in matching the gearbox part of turbocharged engine , so it is still highly recognized in the minds of consumers.

Finally, the plug-in hybrid version of Haval H6 has also been launched at the end of September. The new car is priced in the range of 159,800-173,800 yuan. Overall, it can be said that BYD Song PLUS DM-i is regarded as its biggest competitor. So in the future, can the Haval H6 DHT-PHEV gain a foothold in the hybrid SUV market with huge increments and achieve good sales performance? We might as well wait and see.

The third place comes from BYD, and this car is BYD’s pure electric SUV - Yuan PLUS. In October, Yuan PLUS sold a total of 20,418 new cars, and the monthly sales data also hit another sales high this year. It has to be said that the Yuan PLUS car is popular, which also reflects the purchasing confidence that BYD brings to consumers in the pure electric field.

On the one hand, YuanPLUS uses BYD's self-developed and produced Fudi battery , and its CLTC pure electric range is divided into 430km and 510km. This not only ensures the reliability and quality of power battery , but also firmly grasps the production rights in their own hands, but also ensures that consumers have a relatively good range when purchasing the YuanPLUS model.

On the other hand, through a large number of self-developed and produced accessories, BYD can control the cost of new cars very low. In this way, the price of Yuan PLUS is only maintained in the range of 137,800-165,800 yuan. In addition, Yuan PLUS has a good appearance, and it is also sold in European countries, which is a typical global car made in China, so its status is even higher in the minds of Chinese people.

Finally, based on the sales of price, product strength, design and other factors, let’s look at the sales of Yuan PLUS. I think it deserves its performance today. It has to be said that BYD has really risen in full swing. What do you think about this?

The fourth place is the sales dominant in the joint venture SUV market Dongfeng Honda CR-V. As a domestic joint venture compact SUV that has been produced for more than 10 years, the name CR-V itself is a "golden sign". For many consumers in second, third and fourth tier regions, CR-V represents reliability, stability, fuel-efficient, easy to drive, easy to use and large space. Therefore, even if new energy vehicles are very popular at the moment, CR-V still handed over a sales report card of 16,434 new cars in October.

new CR-V

Of course, compared with vertically, CR-V's current sales data is definitely not as good as before. After all, a few years ago, CR-V was a "master" who could sell more than 30,000 vehicles per month, but now its monthly sales have dropped to 16,000 units. You can also know how serious the sales decline of CR-V is.

Overall, the fuel version of CR-V is still very good and is the most recommended to buy. As for the hybrid version, it is actually very fuel-efficient and takes into account both power, but the price is a bit high, so there is no advantage over BYD. The last CR-V plug-in hybrid model is even higher, and it basically belongs to the type that has no market value, so the future sales performance of CR-V may be like this.

The second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS

The fifth place is Changan CS75 PLUS. Currently, only pure fuel versions of this car are on sale, so its strength in the new energy field is relatively weak. However, compared with the Haval H6, the new car is equipped with an 8AT gearbox in all series, so this is also its major advantage. In October, Changan CS75 PLUS sold a total of 16,350 new cars, and overall sales showed a downward trend, but fortunately, the decline was not large.

Changan CS75 PLUS classic version

As for the product strength of Changan CS75 PLUS, I personally think that in the price range of 110,000 to 150,000 yuan, you can buy a domestic high-quality SUV with a high-quality appearance that is high-quality, with a sufficient appearance, and a relatively strong power. This model is still worth buying. For those who like pure fuel SUVs, Changan CS75 PLUS should still have good sales data performance in a short period of time. After all, the user base of the Changan brand is quite large.

Summary: After reading the top 5 models in the SUV market sales in October, we will find that BYD has now obtained a large number of market share with the efforts of Song PLUS DM-i in the hybrid market and the rise of Yuan PLUS in the pure electric market. In contrast, in the pure fuel vehicle camp, although Haval H6, Honda CR-V, Changan CS75 PLUS and other models are struggling to support it, compared with BYD's sudden emergence, its actual sales are indeed much worse than before.

So slowly through sales data, we can see that the current pure fuel vehicles are really unable to sell, and replaced by the comprehensive rise of new energy vehicles.Finally, seeing the current situation of buying cars by Chinese people, will you still buy pure fuel vehicles if you try to empathize with it? Leave a message in the comment area and let’s discuss it together. (Text/Youshi Auto Dazhuo)
