China car sales analysis January 2021

January 2021 marks the ninth consecutive month of gains for the Chinese passenger car market, following a 21-month losing streak. At just over 2 million sales, the market is up an impressive 26.1%, but that’s compared to the first month of COVID-19 related lockdowns. When compared to January 2019, China’s sales are virtually stable.

Crossovers and SUVs continue to outperform the market with a 27.6% increase to grab 46.7% of the Chinese passenger car market. However, sedans perform even better at +30.5% to 48.9% share, as they outsell crossovers again. MPV sales are for a change growing as well, albeit at a much slower rate, up 8.2% in January for a record low 4.4% share. Within these figures, New Energy Vehicles are up 223% to around 173,000 sales, giving them a share of 8.5%, up from 6.3% in 2020. Plug-in hybrid vehicles almost double at +94% to just under 30,000 sales, while EVs are up 276% to just about 143,000 sales, for a 7% share of the Chinese passenger car market.

Domestic brands outperformed import brands for the sixth consecutive month, with a gain of 41% for Chinese brands compared to a gain of just 16.8% for foreign brands. As a result, the share of  domestic Chinese brands is up to the third highest in the last 12 months, at 42.8%. US brands are the big winners among import brands in January with a 24.4% jump in sales to 8.9% share, followed by Japanese brands at +18.3% to 22.8% share, which means they outsold European brands for only the fourth time since 2012, after December 2013, December 2014 and December 2020. European brands were up 14.9% to hold a share of 22.6%. South-Korean brands trailed the market once again but at least they stopped the freefall at +1.4% for a 2.9% share, the second lowest in 18 years, after last February.

January is traditionally one of the biggest months in the year, together with December, although that depends on the timing of the Chinese New Year celebrations, which disrupt the market due to dealership closures and could fall in either January or February. This year, the celebrations fell in February, which turns out positive for January data. Brands leader Volkswagen continues its streak of 13 consecutive months of losing market share and is in fact the only brand in the top-15 to show a decline on January 2020, at -5.6%. Its advantage over the #2 brand Toyota shrinks by more than half from 76,000 to 34,000, as the Japanese brand is up 20.7% to set a new monthly sales record. Changan jumps to third place, also thanks to record monthly sales, up an impressive 89.1% on last year. That leaves Honda in fourth place with sales up 15.3% and Geely as the #2 domestic brand in 5th place, up 26.2%. Nissan gains 26.9%, while Haval is up 60.9% to make it three domestic brands in the top-7. Buick is up 26.2% and is challenged by the German Big-3 luxury brands, which all three set record monthly sales, all improving their sales by 40% or more. Audi remains China’s best selling luxury brand ahead of BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Wuling is the best performer of the major brands, with sales up nearly 5-fold, while Chery (#13, +59.5%), BYD (#15, +68%) and FAW’s Hongqi brand (#18, +157.6%) also outperform. Hongqi sets a new monthly sales record for the ninth time in ten months, breaking the 30,000 sales barrier for the first time. On the other end of the scale, homegrown brands Roewe (#17, -14%), Dongfeng (#19, -10.9%) and Baojun (#28, -48.4%) lose sales on last year. Among import brands, Chevrolet (#24, -46%) and Kia (#27, -25.5%) continue to lose sales. VW’s Jetta brand confirms it has peaked, now that it has celebrated its first anniversary, at -17.8%. It’s outsold by Tesla at #29.

Geely’s Lynk & Co (#21, +183.1%) and Volvo (#26, +56.7%) both set new monthly records, and so do JAC-Volkswagen’s Sol brand (#34), Lincoln (#35), and EV brand NIO (#38).

January marks a turnaround for some brands, with Peugeot (#44, +107.7%), Jeep (#49, +53.4%) and Citroën (#54, +28.1%) gaining after years of losses, while Skoda (#65, -89.7%) suddenly implodes to just 800 sales.

The models ranking is also full of record breakers, seven models in the top-20 set new monthly sales records in January. The Nissan Sylphy continues where it ended 2020: on top of the ranking. This is the nameplate’s third-best ever month after last September and December, which was its record month. The Haval H6 maintains its position as China’s best selling crossover at #2, ahead of the Changan CS75 at #4 and the Geely Boyue at #9. Volkswagen places three models in the top-10 again, with the Lavida in 3rd place, the Sagitar in 5th and the Bora in 7th place, while Toyota has two models in the top-10 with the Corolla in 8th place and the Levin at #10.

The Changan CS75 sets a new monthly sales record, and so do the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV at #6, Toyota Levin at #10, Changan Eado at #15, Honda Vezel at #17, BMW 3-Series L at #18 and Toyota Camry at #19. The 3-Series is the best selling luxury model in China, ahead of the BMW 5-Series L at #21 (also breaking its sales record), the Audi A4L at #21 and Audi Q5L at #26.

Best performers in the top-100 are the Chery Arrizo 5 (#66, +6,920%), MG5 (#50, +1,600%), Chery eQ1 (#91, +741%) and Tiggo 7 (#89, +660.7%), Ora Black Cat (#95, +370.3%), Buick Excelle (#11, +171.6%) and Hongqi HS5 (#40, +162.5%), while worst performers are the Volkswagen Tayron (#81, -62.9%), Roewe RX5 (#75, -47.3%), Geely Emgrand GS (#94, -43.4%), Volkswagen Tiguan (#86, -37.9%), Changan Oushang X7 (#76, -36.9%) and MG ZS (#70, -33.7%).

Newcomers

Best selling newcomer (<12 months) is obviously still the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV (up 2 to #6), followed by the new generation Hyundai Elantra (stable at #28), Geely Xingrui (up 16 to #41) and the Tesla Model 3 (down 28 after its record month of December to #43). The Changan Oushang X5 is up 17 spots to #64, followed by the Toyota Wildlander (up 8 to #51) and the BYD Han (up 3 to #53).

This months we welcome 9 new models to the ranking, of which six crossovers and three sedans, and among those 4 EVs and one PHEV. Best selling newcomer is Wey Tank 300 at #96 with just over 6,000 sales. The Tank is a traditional body-on-frame SUV with rugged square design. It is followed by the strangely named Haval First Love at #105 with just over 5,600 sales. The domestically produced Tesla Model Y lands at #231 with its first 1,600 deliveries, just ahead of the the Audi Q3 Sportback at #232. The Dongfeng Fengshen EX1 is yet another version of the Renault City K-ZE which will also be exported to Europe as the Dacia Spring. It lands at #289 with 803 deliveries. Hongqi launches its full-sized all-electric SUV with the E-HS9, selling 455 units in its first month for a 324th place. The Sol X7 (#349) is basically just a rebadge of the JAC Jiayue X7, just like the Sol E50A (#411) is a rebadge of the JAC iC5. Finally, the BYD Qin Plus (#387) replaces the Qin.

  1. It’s good to see Nissan gain some traction again. Many of us would like to see them in their former glory, but probably Infiniti will pay its price…

    1. Nissan seemed to go down the drain in 2019 due to Ghosn Gate, but did it rebound with a vengeance! Since the latest Altima a new Juke, Rogue, Qashqai, Frontier, Magnite, Sentra & Sylphy in less than 2 years.

      1. Don’t forget about the new Ariya, the “game changer”. Sadly Infiniti will not be a true premium brand any more, it’s gonna be just a “Nissan+”…

  2. Half a dozen brand are closing in on VW. Think that’s good. Very good.
    Very good also: the Sylphy’s run with >50.000 monthly sales. A staggering number in my book.
    On the flip side: Skoda took a beating with sales down 90%.

  3. That’s why Renault doesn’t need to be in China, they have Nissan. Is DS already dead in China?
