According to the latest wholesale sales data released by the Passenger Car Association, six of the top ten car companies by sales in September were independent car companies.Specifically, BYD ranks first in wholesale sales, with monthly sales of 287,000 vehicles, far ahead of the second-place FAW-Volkswagen with 181,000 vehicles.
What is unexpected is that Chery suddenly emerged, surpassing Geely and Changan Automobile in September. Its wholesale sales in September were 180,000 units, occupying the third place among domestic car companies. However, the Passenger Car Association counts Chery's export sales into its wholesale sales. Currently, Chery is the only domestic car company whose export sales exceed domestic sales.
Following closely behind are Geely, Changan, SAIC Volkswagen and other car companies, occupying third to sixth places respectively. Great Wall Motors sold 104,000 vehicles, ahead of SAIC-GM's 100,000 vehicles.
It is worth noting that it was not until ninth place that the Japanese car GAC Toyota was found, while the tenth place was SAIC Passenger Cars. This also means that among the top ten domestic sales camps, currently only "GAC Toyota" is the only Japanese car left. The decline of Japanese cars in China is visible to the naked eye.
For consumers, for the same domestic car purchase price, buying domestically produced cars instead of Japanese joint venture cars means that they can buy stronger power, higher configurations, etc.If Japanese cars do not make rapid adjustments in the new energy market, sales may continue to decline in the future.
