Great Wall Motor's Sept. sales up by 15.33% year on year

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Great Wall Motor said its September sales jumped 15.33% from a year earlier to 100,019 units. As of year-to-date sales, the automaker sold 724,113 new vehicles in total, up by 7.01% year on year.

Export volume in September leapt 20.34% to 5,318 units, making the volume for the first nine months aggregate 50,754 units.

Haval, the leading SUV brand in China, maintained a double-digit growth in September. Driving forces partly came from some relatively new products, such as the Haval F5 and F7. Besides, the sales volume of the Haval M6 skyrocketed 131.47% from the previous year.

The hottest-selling Haval-branded model was still the H6. Last month, 31,711 units of the Haval H6 were sold, an outstanding growth of 26.35% compared with the previous month.

The premium SUV brand WEY posted a decrease of 17.88% from a year earlier, 13.28 percentage points lower than the drop in August sales. The downturn resulted from the sliding performance of the VV5 and the VV7, while the 69.65% surge in VV6 sales largely counteracted the reduction. In addition, the automaker also gained a tremendous increase of 946.71% in year-to-date sales.

The BEV-focused ORA sold 1,877 cars in September. The sales of the ORA iQ plunged 76.38% from the year-ago period, whereas the ORA R1's participation still made the brand's total sales grow positively.

For the first three quarters, the young NEV brand sold 32,186 vehicles in total.

The Wingle pickup sales climbed 2.55% year on year to 13,680 units. Its year-to-date sales edged up 0.45% to 98,270 units (Photo source: Great Wall Motor's WeChat account).
