Hot! All kind of sales Audi / BMW / Mercedes

The great X3's interior is paying off.

The great X3's interior is paying off.

What you see there is only the result of the combined X3/X4 data.
The X4 was discontinued, and since it's no longer sold, the indicator is negative. It has little to do with actual X3 sales, which are doing very well (European and American charts).
*Additionally, the X3 was not available in many markets for the first few months due to its newness.

 

[Esp5]

The iX3 which was also discontinued. contributes to the negative balance.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

The great X3's interior is paying off.

I'm assuming that's sarcasm, because the cheaply finished, MPV laid out interior is by far the worst aspect of the vehicle.

Are there supply issues with this model? I was sure it would be well received by the market.

With how good the X1 is, and IMO it is the better looking vehicle, has the X1 eaten X3 sales? Or has the X4 been responsible for the drop?

 

[Esp5]

Or has the X4 been responsible for the drop?

Exactly, as I was saying is the result of the combined X3/X4 data.
The X4 and the iX3 were discontinued dragging the indicator to negative, that and the new X3 was not available in many markets for the first few months due to its newness, current X3 sales are doing very well

Uhm, the rear looks like an MPV too, and is just as bad.

When Stellantis dies (soon), so will DS.

Brands sold in the UK I have *never* heard of:

KGM
GWM
Skywell
Maxus
Omoda
Jaecoo

But then again, they even chart brands that sell like 5 cars, or don't even sell at all (Jaguar)

KGM is SsangYong (South Korea), small volume but I think long etablished in the UK.

GWM (Great Wall), Skywell, Omoda and Jaecoo are all new to market Chinese brands.

Maxus used to be a brand under LDV shared with a Korean company (IIRC), but got bought by the Chinese. They used to just be vans but now they do pick-ups as well. The Maxus name would at least be recognisable to quite a few UK motorists, even if it's a totally different company.

DS may die, but Stellantis isn't going anywhere soon even in its current distressed state.

The CLE is surprisingly popular.

The CLE is surprisingly popular.

Mercedes as a whole is popular

I spent the weekend in London and was surprissed by the difference in the number of 5ers spotted on the street vs the number of E-Class. I believe the difference could be 5 or 7 to 1 for the BMW.

In Madrid, the difference is even larger, based purely on my own experience.

The CLE is surprisingly popular.

The CLE is the best looking MB right now ( IMO ) . Especially the AMGs

I have started to see them on a daily basis

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

The CLE and GLC Coupe are on a roll down here.

It's probably more due to a lack of choice of MB coupes in the case of the CLE, and I hope MB doesn't feel vindicated in their shitty interior material choices.

It is also a very attractive coupe.

The X1 and iX1 are a huge success for BMW. They are far outselling the X3/iX3 and also rivals from Audi and Mercedes.

The X1 and iX1 are a huge success for BMW. They are far outselling the X3/iX3 and also rivals from Audi and Mercedes.

But the X3 is just getting started really and the iX3 (which could have the bulk of sales this gen) isn't even here yet.

Anyways, talking about EV SUV cars.....have a look at this:

The Xiaomi YU7 offers a longer driving range than the Tesla Model Y, more advanced tech, and it’s cheaper. With wait times for the Chinese EV extending over a year, the company’s CEO told buyers to check out rivals if they need a car quickly.

The Chinese EV buyers are waiting over a year for
After unveiling the YU7 in June, the electric SUV secured about 240,000 orders within 18 hours. According to the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (via Bloomberg), that’s nearly the 265,400 vehicles Tesla sold in China in the first half of the year.

Xiaomi’s first electric vehicle, the SU7, has already had a major impact on Tesla Model 3 sales in China. Now, the YU7 is rolling out, and it’s aimed squarely at the Model Y.

Wait times for this Chinese EV are so long that the CEO is telling buyers to consider rivals
