In the first two articles, we analyzed and commented on the two major market segments of SUVs and cars in the domestic passenger car market, and today we mainly analyze and comment on the MPV market. According to the latest statistics released by the Market Branch of the China Automobile Dealers Association (CIC), the sales of narrow passenger cars in February 2022 were 1.250 million units, an increase of 4.5% year-on-year. Among them, the MPV segment sold 66,000 units, a slight increase of 1.7% year-on-year, accounting for 5.3% of the entire passenger car market. Next, let's take a look at which models are listed in the top ten of the MPV sales list in February, and what changes and highlights of the list compared with last month.
In the PPV sales list in February, there are finally no pseudo-MPV products of Wuling Hongguang and Wuling Journey, which also allows Buick GL8 to successfully top the MPV sales list, Buick GL8, a medium and large MPV, which reached 9,090 units in February, an increase of 12.5% year-on-year. Such a performance also allows buick GL8 to lead the MPV market far away, and it has pulled away from the opponents behind it.
In addition to the thriving Buick GL8, Toyota Syna, which has not been on the market for a long time, also has an outstanding performance, with sales reaching 4120 units in February, ranking third in the market segment, showing a steady improvement. Although there are cases such as price increases at the terminal, the Chinese people still recognize this car. As Toyota's first domestic MPV, its brand power and influence are very good, and under the construction of TNGA Toyota's global architecture, its space and comfort have also performed well, and because the whole series is equipped with a hybrid system, it is also quite good in fuel economy.
In addition, GAC Trumpchi also continued its excellent performance, this month there are two cars once again into the top ten of the list, of which trumpchi M8 is second only to Buick GL8, ranking second, monthly sales of 50,001 units, an increase of 87.5% year-on-year, the increase is second only to Chase G50. Since its listing, trumpchi M8 has continued its excellent market performance, and has also become the best-selling representative model of domestic high-end MPV, whether it is in the exterior interior design, luxury, comfort and power, there is a good reputation. Most importantly, it is difficult to find a car in the terminal market, and it needs to wait for the car after placing an order, and the retention rate in the second-hand car market is also super high.
Gac Trumpchi M6 compared with the previous month, the decline is obvious, February sales of only 2039 vehicles, only ranked ninth. Trumpchi M6 and Wuling Capgemini basically belong to the existence of Wuwukai. Wuling Capgemini sold 2,083 vehicles, down 55% year-on-year, ranking eighth. In addition, the top ten domestic MPVs in the MPV hot list include the Dongfeng Fengxing Lingzhi series and SAIC Maxus G50, with sales of 3357 and 1155 vehicles respectively, an increase of 20% and 179.7% year-on-year, respectively. The SAIC Maxus G50 was a small outbreak this month, ranking ninth.
In terms of joint venture brands, in addition to buick GL8 and Xena, Honda's double male Odyssey and Alexand also continued their outstanding performance, ranking fifth and sixth in the ranking in February, with monthly sales of 3,069 and 2,497 units, respectively, an increase of 57.5% and 24.5% year-on-year. The biggest feature of these two cars is stability, very suitable for the choice of family cars, it has a large space, and the leather is durable, the retention rate in the second-hand car market is not bad, it is important that its hybrid model makes the fuel economy of these two cars have been further improved, and this is particularly fragrant after the oil price enters the 8 yuan era.
In addition, the Korean car Beijing Hyundai Kusitu also entered the top ten, although the monthly sales of only 1076 vehicles, but still stand on the tail of the top ten of the list. The success of Kustu lies in the layout of its two power combinations, which lowers its entry price, allowing users of home MPV to buy a joint venture MPV with a budget of less than 200,000. However, if this car wants to be further improved, it is still not small.
After taking stock of the sales performance of MPV models this month, we are here to make a new car listing news announcement, in this March, BYD 2022 Song MAX DM-i and the new Volkswagen Weiran will also usher in the official launch in the middle of this month, interested consumers can pay attention to it.
