Despite the ongoing epidemic and chip shortage, China's auto market still grew slightly by 4.4% in 2021, with cumulative sales reaching 20.146 million vehicles, specific to various market segments, the new energy market rose the best, up 169.1% year-on-year. The reason is that electrification has become a general trend, traditional car companies have actively transformed, and a number of new car-making forces have also been born, so after the market's "big waves and sandstorms", which new forces have achieved fame?
Xiaopeng Motors
Sales: 98,155 units
Xiaopeng Automobile is one of the earliest batch of new car-making forces, at first it was not optimistic, in 2020, the annual sales volume was only 27,041, ranking third among the new forces, but in 2021, Xiaopeng Automobile sprung up, with a cumulative sales of 98,155 new cars, an increase of 275.2% year-on-year, one of the largest new energy vehicle companies.
From the product point of view, Xiaopeng's existing Xiaopeng G3 and Xiaopeng P7 have gained a firm foothold in the market, especially the latter, with cumulative sales of 60,569 vehicles, which is one of the best-selling medium-sized new energy vehicles. At the end of last year, the Xiaopeng P5 was officially listed, and the Xiaopeng G9 has also been unveiled, which means that the product camp will be more perfect, with the rapid layout of its charging and sales service network, this year's sales exceeded 100,000 vehicles should not be a big problem.
NIO
Sales: 91,429 units
Weilai is also the first new force to enter the game, or the new force in 2020 sold the crown, but last year's cumulative sales of 91,429 new cars, unfortunately defeated Xiaopeng. Compared with the previous year, Weilai also increased, up 109.1%, which looks quite good, but it is still slightly weak compared with other new energy vehicle companies.
Nio Auto currently sells ES8, ES6, EC6, but the product strength is slightly insufficient, such as ES8 two models of endurance of 450km and 580km respectively, and there are many models with a range of more than 600km on the market, fortunately, ES8 supports power replacement, making up for this disadvantage. It is worth noting that NIO ET5 and ET7 have also been listed, so sales will increase next year.
Ideal car
Sales: 90,491 units
Ideal Car is a more special one in the head of the new forces, whether Xiaopeng or Weilai is to seize the market with a variety of models, ideal is only ideal ONE model, but also has 90,491 annual sales of 177.4%, the strength can be seen.
Ideal products are also very special, ideal ONE is a range extender SUV, and there is currently no national policy support, the price is not low, even so, the ideal ONE is still with a large space, low fuel consumption and good power to get consumers' favor. It is worth noting that the ideal second model will also be launched this year, it is said to be a full-size extender SUV, the two models work together, the ideal hit 100,000 sales this year to stabilize?
United Cars
Sales: 69,674 units
Unlike the previous three new forces, United Automobile chose to enter the low-end market at the beginning, and initially belonged to a tepid state, ranking fifth in the sales list of new forces in 2020, but it got the fourth place in the past year, and rose 361.7%, which is the largest increase in the list.
The brand launched by United Automobile is Nezha, as a well-known mythological figure, Nezha's name and image are easy to enter the hearts of consumers, and most of the models it launches are within 200,000, avoiding direct competition with "Xiao Weili", while Nezha Automobile is also actively laying out sales and charging networks, and has 331 offline dealerships in 193 cities across the country, and has its own charging facilities in 150 cities.
In 2022, the competition in the new energy vehicle market will be more intense, in addition to the existing car companies, there will be more new forces, such as Xiaomi has officially announced the car, Huawei has jointly launched aiTO to ask the world M5, Changan high-end brand Avita has also been released, in addition, Baidu, Ali, Evergrande has also entered, at that time, is the master of the first-mover advantage of the "Xiao Wei Li" laughed to the end, or the back wave is stronger, welcome to leave a comment.
