2019 China Passenger Car Sales Figures By Model (With Rankings)

Sales Figures & Rankings for Passenger Cars Sold in China

2019 Best Selling Passenger Cars In China (All Models Ranked)

The Chinese passenger car market in 2019 continued to exhibit certain shifts and adaptations. After a slowdown in 2018, the challenges persisted into 2019 but were met with strategies and innovations by automakers. The Chinese auto market saw a continuation of the sales decline from 2018, marking the second year of negative growth. Economic factors, trade tensions, and consumer sentiment played significant roles in this trend.

Sedans and hatchbacks faced tough competition from SUVs, but some automakers refreshed their sedan line-ups to rejuvenate interest. International brands further deepened their ties with Chinese firms, leading to the introduction of new joint-venture models that aimed to cater more directly to local preferences.

Continuing its longstanding dominance, Volkswagen remained a top seller with models like the Lavida and Sagitar seeing strong sales. The Japanese automaker saw an increase in sales, driven by the popularity of models such as the Corolla and Camry. The hybrid variants of these models also gained traction. Honda continued its positive momentum in China, with models like the Civic and Accord driving sales.
