Among them, the sales statistics of medium-sized cars in the first three quarters of the US market are quite interesting. Today, let's take a look at this list of data to see which mid-size cars sold best in the first three quarters of the US market?
"Toyota of the world" is not unreasonable. As can be seen from the figure, the first place in the ranking is Toyota's Camry, with a total sales volume of 256769 vehicles in the first three quarters of 2021, and the current starting price of the Camry in the US market is 25,295 US dollars (equivalent to about 160,000 yuan), and the lowest model is equipped with a powertrain of 2.5L+8AT transmission.
It should be mentioned that even though the Camry is a family car attribute and focuses on fuel economy, the best-selling version in the US market is the 3.5L V6 version with a starting price of $32,360 (equivalent to about 200,000 yuan).
The second is the Honda Accord, with total sales of 157988 units in the first three quarters. The starting version of the Accord in the UNITED States is also a 1.5T engine with a maximum horsepower of 192 hp, matching the CVT transmission. However, in the US market, Accord also offers a 2.0T+10AT powertrain with a maximum horsepower of 252 horses.
The third is the Tesla Model 3. In the context of the global era of electrification, as a model with a relatively affordable price, space size and mileage to meet the basic daily travel needs of Tesla, it is obviously quite popular with american consumers.
In fourth place was hyundai Sonata, with total sales of 80,460 units in the first three quarters. The North American market is the "base" of Korean car companies represented by Hyundai, and as the most popular B-class model under the brand, it must hand over certain achievements. Sonata offers two powertrains, 2.5L+8AT and 2.5T+8AT, respectively in the US market, starting at US$24,150 (equivalent to about 150,000 YUAN).
The fifth place is Nissan Tianlai, with the name of "Japanese Three Masters", Nissan Tianlai has also achieved good sales results in the American market. It starts at $24,550 (about 156,000 yuan) in the U.S. The American version of the Nissan Tianlai matches the CVT gearbox like the domestic model, but the difference is that it is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, and the maximum horsepower can reach 188 horses.
In this list ranking, bmw 3 series, Lexus ES, Mercedes-Benz C-class with luxury attributes ranked 7th/8/10th respectively.
In the U.S. market, the BMW 3 Series is sold in a standard-shaft version, starting at $41,450 (equivalent to about 260,000 yuan). The Lexus ES starts at USD 40,800 (about RMB 259,000) and is equipped with a 2.5L+8AT powertrain. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class starts at $41,600 (about 264,000 yuan), but it has only one version in the U.S. market, with a 2.0T engine and a maximum horsepower of 255 horses.
In addition to Tesla, only the Chevrolet Maribal XL can squeeze into the top of the sales list of medium-sized cars in the first three quarters (No. 9). The Maribal XL starts at $23,400 in the U.S. (148,000 for human life coins) and has a minimum of 1.5T+ CVT power combinations. It is worth mentioning that the main sales of The Maribao XL in China are all 2.0T+9AT powertrains.
Combined with the sales volume of medium-sized cars in the domestic market, it is basically consistent with the US market, but there will still be some differences in the car environment, culture and layout strategy of car companies, such as the less popular medium-sized cars in the US market: Audi A4L, Volkswagen Passat/Maiten, Buick Regal, etc. will shine in China.
The cumulative sales of Audi A4L in the first three quarters of the domestic market were 98,305 vehicles, which was about 2,000 more than the cumulative sales of the C-class of Mercedes-Benz, in addition to the luxury brand attributes, the large terminal market preferential margin is also the reason for its "superior".
Volkswagen Passat and Maiteng in the first three quarters of the domestic market cumulative sales of 74071 vehicles / 96977 vehicles, these two models have been known as B-class car benchmarks, in the domestic market to accumulate a good reputation, and the terminal market often gives a large number of preferential policies.
Buick Regal's cumulative sales in the first three quarters of the domestic market were 64,440 vehicles. Buick Regal is one of the few 1.5T+9AT powertrain mid-size cars that can be bought for less than 160,000 yuan, and the cost performance is extremely high.
Of course, there are also Toyota Asian Dragon, Volkswagen CC, Cadillac CT5 and other medium-sized cars in the domestic market have also achieved good sales results.
Due to the environment of chinese and American cars and the launch strategies of car companies, it is no longer normal for there to be a difference in mid-size car sales between the two places. However, with the advent of the era of electrification and the increasing demand for SUVs and pickup trucks in the US market, it is believed that this gap will become wider and wider.
In addition, the US domestic market has successively released the news of discontinuing the production of Toyota Asian Dragon, Volkswagen Passat, Chevrolet Myry XL, Ford Mondeo and other medium-sized cars. Perhaps, in the future in the domestic market, we will also see many "exclusive" mid-sized cars.
