- Among the 20 most produced cars of the 1st quarter of 2013 in Asia (excluding the Indian subcontinent), there are 14 cars produced in China.

- However, the most produced car is manufactured in Japan. This is the Toyota Prius, with 220,000 units during this period in its different versions (Prius, Prius +, Prius Plug-in), the most produced hybrid car and the best-selling one worldwide. At this rate, the Prius could exceed 800,000 units produced in 2013.

- Models made in China are well positioned, as shown in the top 20 the VW Lavida (4th), Ford Focus (7th), Great Wall Hover (9th), Hyundai Avante (10th), but also the Chevrolet Cruze, the Chevrolet Sail, the Buick Excelle, the VW Jetta, the VW Sagitarand the VW Passat.

- Small Chinese minibus' from the Wuling brand are placed in 2nd, 3rd and 5th position.

- It should be noted that out of the 20 cars the most produced in Asia during the first quarter of 2013, there were 4 Volkswagens, 4 Toyotas, 3 Wulings, 2 Chevrolets, 2 Hyundais , 1 Ford, 1 Buick, 1 Kia , 1 Great Wall, 1 Mazda.

- In other words international manufacturers crush 100% Chinese carmakers of which only one (Great Wall) manages to rank a model among the top ten. Wuling is gradually becaming a subsidiary of the GM group.

- It will take many years before 100% Chinese brands (which represent 30% of the Chinese market) progress to such point that they will be able to place several models in the top 20.
