As the end of the year approaches, many organizations are once again demonstrating their influence by releasing various rankings. Today, let’s take a look at the “People’s Choice” Car Ranking for 2023 and see which cars have been selected for us hardworking people. Let’s start with the four selected sedans. The Lynk & Co 03 is a domestic car that is popular for modification among car owners. Geely understands the desires of consumers who enjoy modifying their cars, so they have introduced the Lynk & Co 03++, which further enhances the power and handling of the Lynk & Co 03. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a new 8AT racing gearbox, delivering a maximum horsepower of 350 and peak torque of 450N·m. This performance is more than enough for high-speed driving and is favored by a group of passionate and energetic young people.
All-new BMW 5 Series Price: Not yet released The all-new BMW 5 Series made its debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show and has attracted a lot of attention. The new car has a larger “kidney grille”, more striking headlights, and a stronger presence. Equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel + 14.9-inch central control screen, built-in iDrive 8.5 system, the smart technology keeps up with the times. The rear seats are equipped with the same 31-inch 8K “color TV” as the 7 Series, as well as crystal-style ambient lighting, maximizing the luxury feel. The powertrain has been upgraded with 48V mild hybrid technology, making the driving experience smoother and more powerful. In short, it allows wealthy people to enjoy a better luxury car experience.
BYD Qin PLUS DM-i Price: 9.98-14.58 million Qin PLUS DM-i is truly the people’s choice. Since the introduction of BYD’s super hybrid, sales have skyrocketed, stabilizing at over 20,000 units per month. It is the sales king of A-class sedans and the leader in family cars. Its popularity is due to its high cost performance. The launch of the champion edition has further lowered the threshold for purchasing plug-in hybrid cars. This has left competitors wailing. In December, they offered another discount, lowering the price by 10,000 yuan (1420$). This will surely hit sales of joint venture brands. But for car buyers, let the price cuts be even more intense.
Red Flag E-QM5 Price: 165,800-239,800 yuan (33930$) The Red Flag E-QM5 also made the list, a relatively successful new energy vehicle in the Red Flag electrification process. To be honest, the E-QM5 has a high degree of external recognition and is very distinctive. Some people like to call it futuristic and avant-garde, while others think it’s quirky and unconventional. Some even say it gives them the feeling of a Japanese car. Regardless, in terms of sales, the E-QM5 has performed quite well in the fierce market competition, especially with monthly sales increasing this year. From 2k+ in February to breaking ten thousand monthly sales for the first time in October, the growth has been rapid. However, how many of these sales are for the transportation market, we don’t know.
Aito’s new M7 Price: 249,800-329,800 yuan (46670$) It’s an SUV. The M7 is definitely leading the way. After the launch of the new M7, it is clear that it is being enthusiastically pursued by the people. And this time, the new M7 seems to be serious, with “delivery upon launch”, unlike many other car companies that take months to deliver after ordering. The new M7 was launched in September, and more than 5,000 cars were delivered that month. In October, sales exceeded ten thousand, and in November, it reached 17,000 units. With this momentum, it’s hard to say that sales in the last month of 2023 will not exceed 20,000.
Ideal L8 Price: 339,800-399,800 yuan (56580$) Ideal has carved out a path in the new energy market with its extended range strategy. This is mainly due to the strong operational capability and precise positioning of Ideal, and its first car, the Ideal ONE, has captured the pain points of fathers, with a length of over 5 meters, a 6-seat layout, and multiple entertainment screens. It not only alleviates range anxiety, but also meets the travel needs of families, and can even get a green license plate. The Ideal L8 continues this strategy, with advanced product strength in all aspects, winning the hearts of people with families and homes. In the second half of this year, the monthly sales have steadily remained above 10,000 units, making it a representative new energy vehicle with significant independent brand strength.
BYD Song PLUS DM-i Price: 154,800-219,900 yuan (31120$) Another model under BYD, the Song PLUS DM-i. With less than two years on the market, the cumulative sales of Song PLUS have exceeded 500,000 units. As a reference, it took over 7 years for Honda CR-V to reach the same milestone. This proves the appeal of Song PLUS among the people. As for the product itself, it has excellent strength, the exterior and interior are suitable for users of all ages, it can run on both fuel and electricity, and the DiLink car system is very user-friendly, making it a suitable SUV for family users.
Volvo XC60 Price: 377,900-474,900 yuan (67200$) The last SUV selected is the Volvo XC60. As a luxury car, the Volvo XC60 is relatively understated. It is not the kind that flaunts luxury on the outside, but rather a kind of connotation that needs to be felt from workmanship, concept, and origin. Therefore, people who choose Volvo generally feel that Volvo’s connotation is better than its appearance, although its sales volume is not as good as BBA, it is also better than BBA, which can highlight the brand’s connotation. As for this non-first-line luxury brand XC60 model, the sales volume is not bad, with monthly sales of over 6,000, which is more than enough.
GAC Trumpchi M8 Master Price: 269,800-342,800 yuan (48510$) Let’s talk about two MPV models. One of them is the GAC Trumpchi M8 Master, which is detailed to the configuration version. We all know that GAC Trumpchi’s SUVs and sedans are just average in recent years, especially the sedans. But the MPVs are doing well, with the M8 and M6 being good-selling models in the domestic MPV market. Although the M8 Master may not be affordable for most people, its product strength is indeed commendable, especially the front face design refined from the awakened lion, which is unparalleled in its domineering aura, surpassing what the GL8 and Serena can offer.
New Land Dreamer Price: 339,900-689,900 yuan (97630$) The second is the dreamer of the New Land, to be honest, the car is good overall, but the sales are quite difficult. The New Land has made upgrades in comfort, configuration, power, and endurance, and the sales situation has improved after its launch, aiming for the 4,000-line and ranking sixth in November sales. It is unclear why the Tengshi D9 did not make the list, after all, the ability to sell over 10,000 units per month represents the people’s recognition. However, compared to the D9, the Dreamer has a larger size and space, standard dual-motor four-wheel drive, front double wishbone suspension, and air suspension, with a similar price, and is better than the D9 in every aspect, but the sales gap is so large. It can only be said that the people love to hear stories, and obviously the Tengshi D9 sounds better.
Here are the 10 car models on the 2023 “People’s Choice” Car Cloud List. We don’t know if Wuling has any opinions, after all, it makes what the people need, but this time the people didn’t choose it. Of course, the cars on this “People’s Choice” list may not necessarily be chosen by the people, because the organizer of this list is People’s Daily Online, so it may just be “People’s Choice” and does not represent the people.
