Following the Made-in-China Model Y was the NIO ES6, which sold 2,960 units in March. In third place was the NIO EC6, which sold 2,484 units. This means that the Model Y sold over three times more vehicles than its closest competitor in the EV SUV segment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">According to the data from China Automotive Technology and Research Center, in March, the top 3 seller in the electric <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SUV?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SUV<\/a> segment in China are <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Tesla?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Tesla<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ModelY?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ModelY<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NIO?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NIO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ES6?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ES6<\/a> and NIO <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EC6?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EC6<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24TSLA&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$TSLA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24NIO&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$NIO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WdK9Nu6j18\">pic.twitter.com\/WdK9Nu6j18<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; 42HOW (@42how_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/42how_\/status\/1381819884233887746?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 13, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4672671650557568\" data-ad-slot=\"7845413937\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Competitors from Germany such as the BMW iX3 and the Mercedes-Benz EQC ended the month with more conservative numbers, at 1,526 and 557 units sold in March, respectively. Interestingly enough, the Volkswagen ID.4 X, a vehicle that matches the Model Y pretty well considering its price, range, and features, ended the month with a conservative 495 units sold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While the Tesla Model Y&#8217;s accomplishments in China&#8217;s EV SUV sector are impressive, the all-electric crossover from Giga Shanghai is also making a lot of waves in the country&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ray4tesla\/status\/1381769615412404224?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">overall premium SUV segment<\/a>, which covers both electric and fossil fuel-powered vehicles. In February, the Model Y sold 4,640 units in China, placing it notably behind the best-selling Audi Q5, which sold 10,529 in the same month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For March, the Audi Q5 proved once more that it is a strong SUV in China, with sales of 15,270. Following it was the Mercedes-Benz GLC, which sold 14,240, and the BMW X3, which sold 13,491 units. The Tesla Model Y was the overall 4th best-selling premium SUV in China with its sales of 10,151 units.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It should be noted that the Tesla Model Y may be on track to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-model-y-premium-suv-segment-china\/\">dethrone China&#8217;s best-selling premium SUVs<\/a>. Deliveries of the Tesla Model 3 to the domestic market, after all, rose to 25,327 units last month. And considering that the Model Y competes in a much wider segment due to its crossover status, there seems to be a good chance that the vehicle could match the sales numbers of its sedan sibling, or perhaps even more, in the near future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Don&#8217;t hesitate to contact us for news tips.
