Among the top 20, BYD 9 cars are on the list, and Tesla and Ai ‘an are on the list.


The upgrade of BYD’s bicycle sales on the list is unique in the market, with a total of 9 products on the list. Four pure electric vehicles include Yuan PLUS, Dolphin, Seagull and Qin PLUS, and five plug-in hybrid models are Song PLUS DM-i, Qin PLUS DM-i, Song Pro DM-i, Tang DM-i and Han DM-i..

Among the sales results of nine models, Han and Tang have fewer hybrid models, with an annual sales volume of about 120,000. The highest sales volume is Yuan PLUS, and this compact pure electric SUV has sold 410,000, followed by the small pure electric car Dolphin, with a sales volume of 360,000.

Followed by compact hybrid cars and SUV——-Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i, the sales of the two cars were 330,000 and 320,000 respectively.

From the sales performance, BYD has shown a certain dominance in the new energy vehicle market. The brand covers almost all household products from mini-car seagull to medium-sized and large-sized chehan.

With the support of low fuel consumption and price, Qin PLUS, Yuan PLUS and Song Series have revolutionized the family car market of 100,000-200,000 yuan, and only three vehicle series (including pure electric and hybrid) occupy 12.8% of the whole new energy vehicle market.

After BYD, it is the only overseas brand Tesla on the list. Tesla Model Y has an annual sales volume of 640,000 vehicles, and Model has an annual sales volume of 300,000 vehicles. The market products of the two cars are 10.7%.

From a certain point of view, Tesla’s two products have good cost control, but due to the lack of personalization, there are only pure electric models, the range of options is limited, and the price is mostly concentrated in the price range of 200,000-300,000, so there is still a gap between sales volume and BYD.

In addition to BYD and Tesla, Ai ‘an, a new energy brand of Guangzhou Automobile Group, has also achieved good results. Both AION Y and AION S series under the brand have achieved sales of 220,000 vehicles. These two cars are compact SUV and compact car.

Ai ‘an’s products have good competitiveness in the online car market, but in the high-end market, the brand seems to have encountered upward problems.

In the second half of 2024, two models of Haobo, the brand of Aian Chonggao, were listed separately, but at present, behind the acceptable product strength, the product sales are not outstanding. The combined sales volume of the two cars is about 10,000, which is a huge gap compared with Tesla and a certain gap compared with BYD’s Hantang series.


The transformation of joint venture brands is still not obvious.

BYD’s sales are unique in the new energy vehicle market, while Tesla’s performance is close to BYD’s. Beyond BYD and Tesla, there is no absolute "dark horse" in 2023.

The models of Ai ‘an, Wuling, Ideality and Changan, which compete with BYD Tesla on the same stage, are also quite powerful in the market segment.

Specifically, Wuling’s Bingo EV and Hongguang MINI EV have achieved 230,000 vehicles and 118,000 vehicles respectively. These two products, which are not compact in size and cost less than 100,000 yuan, together with Changan Lumin, which sells 140,000 vehicles, constitute the strength of the small car market.

As the "only child" in the new car-making force, the ideal L7, L8 and L9 cars were also successfully selected, with sales of 130,000, 110,000 and 110,000 respectively. As a hybrid vehicle with a price of 300,000+,the ideal cumulative annual sales of nearly 400,000 vehicles also shows its good charm in the market.

It is worth mentioning that MG4 EV, a subsidiary of SAIC, has achieved sales of 150,000 vehicles. This product is an important model for China automobile brands to go to sea. It is understood that this model once won the sales champion of pure electric compact cars in the European market. However, in the domestic market, the popularity of this electric compact car, which is close to the "steel gun", is not high.

Although independent brands have achieved good results, joint venture brands and foreign brands have few positions in the TOP20 of new energy vehicles.

In addition to Tesla’s two products, SAIC Volkswagen ID.3 ranks 28th with a sales volume of 80,000 vehicles, which is the third product of joint venture brand bicycle sales. Followed by Smart, which ranks nearly 40 and is adjusted by Geely, the sales volume is 55,000, and BMW 3 pure electric is close to Smart, with sales volume of about 54,000.

Among Japanese cars, Toyota bZ3 leads with 25,000 cars, and the other brands are even more "terrible".

Whether the joint venture brand models can be listed in 2024, and whether the popular products of major brands can maintain their current achievements and popularity, Shell Finance reporters will continue to pay attention.
