The Most Produced Car in Asia in 2016
- The most produced car in Asia in 2016 is also the most produced car in China in 2016, as the Wuling Hongguang, part of the GM group, like Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Holden or Baojun.
- The Hongguang is a compact MPV that can carry up to eight passengers and was launched in 2010. It was sold and produced at 847,000 units in 2016 and has become the best-selling model in China since 2014.
- It is the fifth most produced model in the world in 2016, behind the Ford F-Series (1,012,000 units), Toyota Corolla (985,000 units), VW Golf (970,000 units) and Hyundai Elantra ( 875, 000 units ).
- Wuling has been a minivan specialist in China since its inception in 2002. Until now, this Chinese firm linked to SAIC and bought by GM only sells its vehicles in China. With strong growth in sales of SUVs in this market, Wuling has experienced a significant decline in sales over the past two years. While the company sold 1.6 million vehicles in China in 2014, it sold only 1.3 million in 2015 and 1 million in 2016, while the Chinese market as a whole grew from 23.5 million to 28 million units. Wuling is challenged by both the SUVs and by internal competition from Baojun, another Chinese brand of the GM group.
