With an absolute leading discount of more than 30,000 units (Song PLUS is the only SUV model that sold more than 30,000 units in May), it continues to win the monthly title. Pin crown.Although Haval H6, once the king of the domestic SUV market, also delivered a good month-on-month growth in May, it is farther and farther away from the champion.

BYD Song PLUS

May 2022 sales: 31,989 units

How hot is BYD's current market momentum?Song PLUS's results are the most convincing. Not only has it won the sales champion in the SUV segment for two consecutive months, but it has also opened a growing market gap with other models.This is still a sales result under the background that the terminal vehicle supply is very tight. After BYD's newly opened production lines are put into operation one after another, after Song PLUS eases the current situation of tightproduction capacity, it will bring a larger market if nothing else. surprise.Perhaps, Song PLUS will be able to experience the happy moment when Haval H6 once sold 60,000 to 70,000 units per month.

Haval H6

May 2022 sales: 20,088 units

At a time when the new energy vehicle market continues to boom, the traditional "kings" represented by Haval H6 and others are becoming more and more difficult to touch the once-easy champion position.May is the fourth month in a row that Haval H6 has lost the SUV sales crown. Whether it can keep the runner-up position is also a big question mark. The second-ranked electric SUV Model Y may achieve overtake at any time after its production capacity is restored.However, for Great Wall Motors, its layout in the new energy market has gradually formed a scale. In addition to ORA's main focus on pure electric, many models under the WEY brand and Haval brand already have a lot of plug-in hybrid and oil-mixed products. If Haval H6 can also be quickly "electrically shocked" in the future, the market performance may still have the possibility of achieving new breakthroughs.

Tesla Model Y

May 2022 sales: 20,032 units

Although it failed to enter the top tenSUV saleslist in April, after the production capacity of Tesla's Shanghai factory gradually recovered in May, Model Y quickly handed over monthly sales data of more than 20,000 units, returning to the top three sales in the market segment. .Obviously, although it has experienced several rounds of official price increases in a short period of time, Tesla's popularity in the domestic market has not been greatly affected.

May 2022 sales: 18,031 units

With a good improvement, the overall style has become more tough, and the appeal to young consumers has improved a lot.

Changan CS75

May 2022 sales: 13,797 units

Large-sized body, stylish interior and exterior design, and relatively affordable price are the core points for Changan CS75 to maintain its market competitiveness.But similar to the Haval H6, at a time when new energy vehicles have become popular, the Changan CS75 has also cooled a lot in the recent market. Last year, it was the biggest competitor of Haval H6 on the road to the championship, but now it is difficult to see the hope of sprinting the championship. .For the Changan CS75, it may be a more realistic pursuit to continue to appear on the SUV bestseller list.

Audi Q5L

May 2022 sales: 13,049 units

At the beginning of last year, the Audi Q5L entered the top ten SUV sales list for two consecutive months, but for a long time, the Audi Q5L was isolated from this list again, and the market momentum has been suppressed by the Mercedes-Benz GLC.There are two main reasons why the Audi Q5L has re-emerged in the market recently. On the one hand, compared with Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Audi is more willing to make profits in the terminal market. Although it is an important profit cow of Audi, the Audi Q5L is also more favorable in terms of discounts. Unequivocally, it is very common for discounts to exceed 60,000.On the other hand, the recently introduced purchase tax reduction policy is also a stimulus. The low-end version of the Audi Q5L is included in the purchase tax subsidy, which is a good boost to sales.
