by sales, in addition to Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, the top 10 automobile manufacturers are the decline in sales, showing that the market is ushered in the winter. But the decline in sales, some serious, some very slight. And think globally, sales of some manufacturers is still very surprising.
VW Group
the highest sales of the Volkswagen Group, which does not surprising. And only a list of sales of Volkswagen also broke through the 10 million firms. Of course, this also includes the Volkswagen Group’s various brands, Volkswagen’s includes Audi, Porsche, Skoda, etc. 10 several brands. These brands in the global market also has a great influence. Therefore, sales of the Volkswagen Group is also high as it should be.
In addition, China is still a great contribution to the Volkswagen Group’s sales in 2019, Chinese market FAW-Volkswagen, Shanghai Volkswagen, sold a total of 4.23 million vehicles, accounted for about 40 percentage Volkswagen’s global market share.
However, although Volkswagen in China, the European market is very popular, but in the United States, the Southeast Asian market is not a very strong brand.
Toyota Group
sales
Toyota Group ranked second, Although not as good as the general public to sell more, but Toyota is the brand have increased year on year, which is very rare. Toyota is in addition to the characteristics of the local market, in major markets like the US, China, Europe is not the champion, but can be squeezed into the top ten or even top three. Chinese market Corolla, Camry is also very popular, although the Chinese market only to Toyota contributed 1.62 million, the overall ratio is not very high. But with the advantage of TNGA architecture, Toyota is still the Chinese market in 2020 to set a higher sales target.
Renault-Nissan Alliance
Renault-Nissan Alliance, a main European markets, a main Asian markets, so the overall strength is still very strong. Renault 2019 sales of 3.75 million, up by almost no growth. But given the current situation Ghosn arrest and fled, estimated in 2020 for Nissan, it is very difficult year.
in the Chinese market, although Sylphy is still a big sales. But the sounds of nature in front of the Camry and Accord, the strength is not so strong. And X-Trail, Qashqai models also are not new, nor subsequent growth momentum is very strong. So Nissan is currently the most important thing is to actively launch new car.
General Motors
GM’s global market fell 10.7 percentage, is on the list of companies, only one percentage decline in more than 10 vendors, in fact, the decline of General Motors, have a great relationship with the Chinese market, due to the use of three-cylinder engines in the Chinese market Buick, Chevrolet, sales came to a standstill.
in the Korean market, due to the competition of modern, Kia. After 1997, GM acquired Daewoo, South Korea changed its name to General Motors, also closed a plant in South Korea. In addition, in more countries around the world market, GM’s performance is not very good.
Hyundai Kia Group
Global sales of Hyundai-Kia Group ranked fifth, although did not meet their in early 2019 the goals, but fell a little. This is despite the decline in the Chinese market under the premise very serious. This shows that Hyundai-Kia Motors overseas markets in other countries except China market performed well.
especially Hyundai and Kia in emerging market countries, Russia, India and so on, very good performance. We launched a number of populist car. In the European market, new energy vehicles, station wagons also very popular. Only the Chinese market is the most obvious decline. Therefore, in the futureHyundai Motor is the Chinese market is still a top priority, a great need in the Chinese market through better models to enhance the brand influence.
Ford
Ford although global sales ranked No. 6 but in 2019 the total sales of over 490 million, compared to the first five of Hyundai less than 200 million. The gap is still very obvious. While in the US market, Ford’s F-Series remains the best-selling pickup truck. But Ford 2019 performance in the Chinese market is very bad. China market sales fell by 50% or more.
new models declining competitiveness, Fox and other hot-selling model after the facelift of the three-cylinder engine sales also came to a standstill. Coupled with the original very hot Mondeo models, the current competitiveness has fallen, but no new models to replace. Therefore, Ford needs to introduce more new cars in 2020 to reverse the situation.
Honda
In fact, Honda’s performance is very good, global sales reached 4.826 million , up almost no decline. Where the Chinese market performance is very good, the Honda CR-V, Honda Accord, have become their respective market segments very hot models in the Chinese market in 2019 Honda hit a 1.55 million sales. China alone will contribute a third of Honda’s sales.
FCA and the PSA Group
at the end of 2009 when the FCA and the PSA Group completed the merger, consolidation after more than Hyundai Motor, the world’s fifth-largest automotive group. But in the statistics when the two companies were still collecting statistics. So in 2020, the two companies will not be sold to consumers surprises? Is a powerful combination? Or hold together for warmth, we’ll see.
Daimler Mercedes-Benz
BBA three companies, Audi is part of the Volkswagen Group, so if you look at the words of the luxury brand, Mercedes-Benz is the only luxury brand list. Of which China did well, contributed to 702,000, an increase of 4 percentage. 2019 is the Mercedes – Benz ‘SUV of the Year “in China, almost every SUV segment have ushered in a new or modified models, including the new GLE, GLS, GLB and facelift GLC.
