Top passenger cars sales in China over the first 9 months of 2017
- The Chinese market (LCV + LCV) has increased by 4.8% over the first nine months of 2017. If we look at the top 20 models, we see that there are not many changes year on year. Most of the top 20 models were already present in this ranking in 2016. Note however the appearance of the Baojun 510 SUV, as well as the strong progress recorded by VW Tiguan, Geely Bo Yue, Geely Emgrand and Roewe RX5.
- The first place is still occupied by the Wuling Hongguang minivan, but this model loses 67,000 year-on-year sales. The Wuling brand also loses 141,000 sales all models combined, in favor of the sister brand Baojun, which gained 158,000 sales over the same period. This situation is explained by the decline in MPV sales in the Chinese market (Wuling has made it a specialty), which represents only 8.5% of registrations in 2017, compared with 10.6% in 2016, while SUVs continue their breakthrough (Baojun is increasing its models in this category), accounting for 40.6% of the market in 2017 against 35.2% in 2016. Sedans represent 48.5% of the market in 2017 against 50.8% in 2016. Minivans represent only 2.4% of the market in 2017 against 3.4% in 2016.
- By segment, C segment remains dominant in China, with 61.5% of the market, compared to 23.5% for D segment, 10.3% for B segment, 3.5% for E segment, and only 1, 2% for A segment.
