Best-Selling Models in January
February 20th, 2013 | Posted in Top SellersAuto sales in the first month of 2013 soared 46.38% from a year earlier to 2,034,500, according to China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM). The passenger car market expanded 48.68% to 1,725,500, while sales of buses and trucks reached 309,000 on a 34.75% increase.
Analysts say the high growth may be illusory as some automakers, notably Shanghai-Volkswagen, "hid" sales in the last month of 2012 and added them to January’s count–purportedly to create the impression that they were off to a flying start.
The top ten passenger car makers in January are (the data below are from China Passenger Car Association):
1. Shanghai-GM: 161,426
2. Shanghai-Volkswagen: 160,018
3. FAW-Volkswagen: 140,638
4. SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW): 137,626
5. Beijing-Hyundai: 107,888
6. Changan Auto: 100,885
7. Dongfeng-Nissan: 76,258
8. Geely: 60,453
9. Great Wall Motor: 60,035
