The most outstanding 9 achievements in the

　　There was another half a year. Like final exams in school, at the moment of this year we need to conclude performance of mainstream auto manufacturers in the first half of 2010. Although theory involves turning point of Chinese car market was once prevailing, it couldn't stop sales of Chinese car market ranked first in the world in the first half of 2010. According to domestic cars output and sales report of the first of 2010 released by China Automotive Technology and Research Center recently, output and sales of domestic cars were respectively 8.4722 million and 7.1853 million units in the first half of 2010, up 44.37% and 30.45% respectively compared with the same period of last year and ranked first steadily in the world. If figure is just figure, it will have no lure to most of people, so let us look at the most outstanding nine achievements in the first half of 2010.

　　First, the auto manufacturer with the best performance

　　Shanghai GM

　　Performance of Shanghai GM was very great in the first half of 2010 with most of its affiliate brands and models sold well. Following more than 1 million unit sales in May in Chinese car market, its sales in June still kept a high level. In June, Shanghai GM sold 176,486 units, which increased by 23.2% compared with the same period of last year. Cumulative sale of Shanghai GM from January to June was 1.209138 million units, up 48.5% year on year and achieved a high growth rate. Among China's own brands, Chery achieved the best performance, with sales reached 268,400 units from January to May. Task completion rate of Chery was 38.34%.Both total sales and task completion rate of Chery ranked first among China's own brands.

　　Second, the auto manufacturer with the highest goal

　　Changan Auto

　　Sale of Changan Auto was 326,200 units (including micro-car) from January to June. The above figure can guarantee Changan a good place among own brands sales ranking, but its preliminary sales goal was 1.3 million units. We need to think highly of Changan's ambition, however, its ambition didn't contribute a lot to its sale in the first half of 2010, and to the contrary its task completion rate was only 25.1%, ranking the last(until May) among own brands. To conclude, dream is wonderful but reality is brutal.

　　Third, car model with the fastest progress

　　MPV

　　Many people thought SUV market would be the fastest growth market in the first half of 2010. For one thing, SUV market has been in a sustainable growth for several years. For another thing, an increasing number of auto manufacturers begin entering SUV market. According statistics from China Automotive Technology and Research Center, cumulative sales of SUV was 373,900 units in the first half of 2010, up 87.06% year on year. China's own brands, joint venture brands and imported brands dominate SUV market.

　　However, growth rate of SUV market still fell behind MPV market. In the first half of 2009, growth rate of MPV fell behind growth rate of passenger car and it was the last model that finally got of downturn period. In the first half of 2010, with emerging of family MPV market sales potential and more and more commercial activities, performance of MPV market was attractive. Cumulative sale of MPV was 162,400 units in the first half of 2010, up 101.47% compared with the same period of last year.

　　Fourth, The most attractive policy

　　Fuel-efficient products benefiting the public

　　As low season coming and theory of turning point prevailing, issue of subsidy policies stimulated Chinese car market. On June 30, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Ministry of Finance officially announced 71 fuel-efficient models promotion list that first integrated into fuel-efficient products benefit the public project. These models passed fuel consumption record and won the national compulsory product certification (3C certification), and integrated operating condition of fuel consumption is 20% lower than the current standard. Chinese government will provide consumers who purchase fuel-efficient cars with 3000 RMB subsidy and the fund will be paid by auto manufacturers in the process of sales. At present, some auto enterprises started the subsidy. Although subsidy hasn't arrived, it has received recognition from many consumers.

　　Fifth, the strongest star

　　CR-V

　　Why we say personality of Dongfeng Honda CR-V is strong? It is because despite various recall crisis and growth rate of Chinese car market began slowing, price of CR-V is still stable since went public as well as created many sales records, which helped it become a legend in the Chinese car market. Though CR-V has launched for three years, demand for it still exceeds supply. Consumers have to wait for mentioning it, which makes many auto enterprises surprised. With Dongfeng Honda expanded its production capacity, sales of CR-V gradually exceeded 10 thousand units in the first half 2010, until June monthly sales of CR-V reached 13504 units and created a monthly sales record.

　　Sixth, the most petite cute “pet”

　　GM conceptual EN-V

　　Shanghai World Expo is holding on hotly. At Puxi Area of Shanghai Expo, GM pavilion is attracting many people and visitors have to wait for an hour before enter it. Within GM pavilion, concept car EN-V attracted attention from many people, and its lovely appearance let people look forward to the bright green future.

　　EN-V combines electrification and vehicle networking two major technologies, and it is GM's new solution to personal transportation in the future. Great design has heavy future meaning. Total weight of EN-V is only more than 400 kilogram and length is 1.5 meters. However, nowadays weight of traditional cars is more than 1500 kilogram and length is three times of the length of EN-V. Moreover, parking space of traditional cars needs 10 square meters. At present, parking space of a traditional car can accommodate 5 units EN-V.

　　Seventh, the star with most fans

　　Tiguan

　　There is no denying the fact that Tiguan is a model with a wide expectation before went public. According statistics of May, it has received more than 90,000 orders in just more than one month. Sale of Tiguan was 6318 units within the first month when began sold in the market, and got a leading position in the mainstream models of SUV market. Fashionable and Sports design, good quality of Germany cars and impeccable security intelligence attract a lot of consumers.

　　Eighth, star that desires to go public most

　　BYD F3DM low-carbon version

　　As the earliest dual-mode electric vehicle sold in Chinese car market, price of BYD F3DM is 169,800 RMB. Are you willing to purchase it? A piece of good news came. Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Science, Industry and Information Technology Ministry and National Development and Reform Commission started implementation project about subsidies for pilot purchasing new energy cars at Shenzhen, and F3DM got 30000 RMB subsidies each unit.

　　The biggest highlight of F3DM is multi-angle interpretation of low carbon. In addition to global advanced DM dual-mode system and iron battery technology, solar energy battery charging system equipped on the top of F3DM low carbon version is not only beautiful and environmental friendly, but also provides driving cars with energy.

　　Ninth, the most popular color
