The 20 best-selling models in China by model (9 months 2020)
- In a Chinese passenger car market down 12.1% over the first 9 months of 2020 (compared to the same period of 2019), the Volkswagen Lavida remains the best-selling car (291,693 units), ahead of the Toyota Corolla and the Volkswagen Bora. The German carmaker manages to place four models in the Top 20 (Lavida, Bora, Sagitar, Santana) including three among the first five places. Toyota also managed to place four (Corolla, Levin, Camry, RAV4), only one of them was in the top ten. Honda places three models (Civic, Accord, CRV). Finally, Nissan places two. The other eight places in the Top 20 are occupied by the Buick and Audi brands (one model each) and by the Chinese brands (five models including 2 Geely, 1 Great Wall, 1 Changan, 1 Wuling). It is to be noted that the only Premium model in the Chinese Top 20 in 2020 is the Audi A6.
- There are very few SUVs in the Top 20 as Inovev has identified only five, against fourteen sedans, while on the whole Chinese market there are 46.5% of SUVs and 46.5% of sedans, the rest being concentrated on minivans. There is not a substantial pickup market in China, despite Great Wall's efforts to impose this type of vehicle.
- The VW group remains by far the leader of the Chinese market in 2020, with a share of 18%, ahead of the groups GM (12%), Toyota (8%), Honda (8%), Geely (8%), Renault- Nissan (7%), Changan (5%), Great Wall (4%) and Hyundai-Kia (4%).
- Chinese brands represent 37% of the Chinese market in 2020. The Chinese government’s target of seeing more than 40% of them is still not achieved.
