Now that we have explored the best-sellers in China in February in detail, it’s time to bring back the monthly year-to-date summaries. Over the first two months of 2013 the Chinese new car market is up a solid 15% year-on-year to 3,389,100 registrations. The top of the ranking is completely reshuffled compared to the same time last year with a podium 100% new. Taking advantage of he new generation launched last year, the VW Lavida flies above the radar at a huge 83,156 sales, up 120% year-on-year helped by a record-breaking 48,267 units sold in January.

    This is really weird! In your February post we discovered that Peugeot had sold 2081 Peugeot 206s in China. A car which I believe isn’t sold overthere. With those sales it jumped to rank 131 from nowhere. But in this post about January AND February suddenly the Peugeot 206 disapears completely… If it sold 2081 in February it should rank at least at 188. I wonder what is going there…

      Hi Vavon I don’t have a total sales for 2 months for the 206 which is why it doesn’t appear in this ranking.
      cheers,
      Matt
