In China, there has been a real boom in motorization for several years in a row. There are 106 different brands in the country, of which more than eighty are local. This is a market share of 76%. The rest are satisfied with little. 9 European brands occupy only 8%. Representatives of the Japanese and American automotive industries have 7 each, and only 2 companies from South Korea. Such data was announced today at the All-Russian meeting of car dealers by Alexei Podshchekoldin, chairman of the ROAD.
As for the leaders of the local market, the innovative BYD sold the most in the first quarter of 2023. The result of 484,545 cars that have found their owner is respectful. At the same time, few people know the brand in Russia. Only those who bought rare hybrids under the parallel import scheme.
Our leaders are Haval. So, according to the agency “AUTOSTAT”, dealers sold 7200 Jolion compact crossovers in the 1st quarter. But in China, the manufacturer takes a miserable 17th place with a result of 89,389 vehicles shipped. Compared to the BYD record, heaven and earth.
Hongqi settled in 20th place (76,067 units). That is, the Asians themselves did not exactly taste the “premiums”. But we were told that all models have an unprecedented level of comfort, comparable to the “Germans”. Well, there’s a reason to double check what marketers’ words are worth.
