April 2017 – January 2018 monthly All-models data also available, Contact us here

This is a new, exclusive, monthly update on BSCB. Up until now the traditional monthly sales figures published on this site for China were wholesales. Although they usefully track the success of locally-produced nameplates, wholesales can be subject to abrupt changes to reflect actual demand in dealerships, one example being the “disappearance” of the Baojun 560 from the rankings for the past couple of months. We now have access to monthly retail sales data so you can track the success of all China-made nameplates “in real time.” This month is dedicated to the outlining the models list differences between Wholesales and Retail Data, we will initiate proper commentary with March 2018 data.

Haval H6 and H6 Coupe (pictured) sales are split in these Retail rankings……as are sales for the Haval H2 and H2s (pictured).

Monthly data going back to April 2017 is also available on demand. The arrival of Chinese Retail Data on BSCB is part of our continued effort to give you the most detailed coverage of the largest car market in the world, and on top of exclusive figures we also have access to sales splits that are unavailable for wholesales. As a result, no less than 602 nameplates are covered in 2018 vs. just 415 for the wholesales data and 715 over the last 9 months of 2017 vs. 595 wholesales.

The Dongfeng Fengdu MX5, Fengxing Joyear X5 and X6 are now listed.

As such, exclusive retail sales figures are now available for the Wuling Hongguang S3 crossover (#21 in February and year-to-date), the Baojun 310W (#24 and #30), Haval H6 Coupe (#65 and #94), Haval H2s (#117 and #138) and variant detail for the Dongfeng Fengxing Joyear X3, X5, X6 and XV as far as nameplates inside the Top 200 are concerned, all the while the Baojun 560 returns at #73.

Landwind model splits are now available. Pictured: Happy, X2 and X7.

Most interestingly perhaps, we can finally share with you Landwind model splits, a carmaker that until now only shared brand wholesales data, revealing the X7 as the brand’s best-seller at #248 in February ahead of the X2 (#318) and X5 (#351) while the all-new Landwind Happy ranks at #387 and the X8 at #447. The Hongqi H7 finally benefits from uninterrupted sales reporting, while the entire Chana Raesor lineup is also a retail novelty, with the S50, S50T, M70, M80 and M90 now in the ranking.
