For the first time in 5 years, I had the opportunity to visit China for the Beijing Auto Show. It was also the chance to check out the car landscape in the streets of Beijing. Needless to say that in five years, the cars in the streets have completely changed and reflect the growing share of new energy vehicles (EVs and PHEVs).
Beijing EU5
Nissan Sylphy
As soon as I step out of the airport, one thing is clear: almost all taxis are recent Beijing EU5, indicating a rapid and and radical renewal of the fleet. There is a surprising amount of sedans around, meaning the SUV craze hasn’t reached Beijing (yet). Notably there are not many Haval SUVs around. Reassuringly as it reflects the national rankings, the Nissan Sylphy is omnipresent alongside the Toyota Corolla/Levin.
A Beijing specialty, premium MPVs are common, such a the Buick GL8 and Denza D9 (pictured).
One brands that has clearly resonated with Beijing car buyers is Li Auto. All models of the carmaker are seen very often on the street, including the brand new Li Mega MPV seen multiple times during my 1 week stay.
Hongqi has also established itself as a common brand in Beijing, with the EQM-5 frequent as well as the H9.
The most frequent private car as a whole in Beijing is the BYD Qin Plus, logical as it is the best-selling vehicle in China so far this year. This is notably true for DiDi vehicles (the Chinese equivalent of Uber). In fact BYD completely dominates the Beijing streets, with Volkswagen spectacularly left in the dust. The Tesla Model Y is seen often but it’s not the flood I had expected.
AITO M9
Arcfox Alpha S
NIO ES8
Other cars seen often here include the AITO M5 and M9 (already), Arcfox Alpha S, Xpeng P7 and NIO ES8. Note I didn’t see a single Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, indicating it was successful in smaller cities or even in rural areas, or any MG cars.
I saw my first (and only) Xiaomi SU7 in front of my hotel.
A visit to a flagship Huawei store confirms cars are displayed alongside phones, including the Luxeed S7 and AITO M5.
GAC Trumpchi GS8
LEVC L380
NIO ET5 and Tank 300
A rare Peugeot 408
Xpeng P7
