Sales of Volkswagen in June ranked the top

The high proportion of joint venture vehicles in the Chinese market makes it the target of self-owned brands. INA learned from China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) that among the self-owned brand sales in June, SAIC and FAW-Volkswagen once again became the focus of the automotive market, with SAIC Volkswagen ranked first, and FAW-Volkswagen ranked second.

SAIC Volkswagen: We are No.1.

In June, SAIC Volkswagen once again ranked the first in the sales of narrow sense passenger vehicle (PV) with more than 150,000 units. The all new Lavida is still the best-selling sedan of SAIC Volkswagen, with sales of 40,645 units, a year-on-year increase of 41.2%. In addition, sales of the Santana and the Passat are also quite good. What is worth mentioning is that the all new Lavida was launched recently, and it is believed that it will further enhance the sales of SAIC Volkswagen.

FAW-Volkswagen: Our first SUV is standby.

FAW-Volkswagen also did a good job in June with merely a moderate sales gap with SAIC Volkswagen. In terms of specific models, sales of the Jetta was the most outstanding, with 19,731 units sold, but the year-on-year growth rate declined. In addition, FAW-Volkswagen's first SUV, the T-ROC, will be launched in July, which is an important step for FAW-Volkswagen to expand its SUV market.

SAIC-GM: To be an Elite.

In June, SAIC-GM did not achieve a satisfactory sales volume. Although the sales ranked the third among joint ventures with 123,079 units sold, the year-on-year growth rate fell sharply.
