Range Rover sales in China rose 58.3% in November.
Sales of new imported goods in China fell -21% year-on-year in November to just 52,131 units. Thus, the annual figure is now down -11.4% to 575,894. All eight major automakers are in the red, with Lexus (-13.8%) and Mercedes (-8.9%) improving their shares. In contrast, BMW (-27.2%), Porsche (-42%), Audi (-28.1%), Toyota (-26.4%) and Volkswagen (-31.7%) are all in free fall . Land Rover (-10.7%) and, to a lesser extent, Volvo (-19.4%) manage to keep their losses below market levels. Subaru (+14.1%) leads the rankings at No. 10, but with just 460 sales it’s unlikely to have any impact.
In the model rankings, the Lexus ES (-30.9%) continues to dominate head and shoulders above the competition, selling twice as much as any other car despite taking heavy hits. Mercedes GLE (-5.1%) stabilizes in second place, while Lexus RX (+50.7%), Range Rover (+58.3%) and Lexus NX (+16.7%) completely ignore the gloom situation and finish in fifth place. The Land Rover Defender (-15.6%) and Volvo XC90 (-20.5%) are the only additional models in the top 10 to perform relatively well in context, as do the Porsche Cayenne (-43%), Toyota Alphard (-36.6%) and BMW 4 Series (-26.7%) are struggling.
