OREANDA-NEWS. According to statistics released by the China Passenger Car Association, Haval sold 34,689 units in March, expanding 85 percent year on year, unveiling the total sales volume of Haval in the first quarter. A record 89,689 units were sold in the first quarter, consolidating Haval's lead in the SUV segment.

 Statistics shows Haval, Beijing Hyundai, Shanghai Volkswagen, Toyota and Honda ranked top five with a respective sales volume of 89,689 units, 65,710 units, 55,429 units, 48,661 units and 39,230 units in the first quarter. Haval led by a margin of over 20,000 units over Beijing Hyundai, enjoying a safe lead in the SUV segment.

 In March, Haval H6 outperformed Shanghai Volkswagen strong opponents like Tiguan, Honda CRV and Hyundai ix35 with a sales volume of 16,801 units, claiming the monthly sales title again after September 2012. This once again shows Haval H6's remarkable strength, model role and huge potential for continuous and stable market growth.

 Despite a wide range of choices in the SUV segment, with the price markdown of Joint Venture automakers and the constant launch of new models, market competition has become increasingly fierce. Even so, Haval still managed to stand out and enjoy an overwhelming lead over its strong opponents, showing the high recognition of Haval brand by the market and consumers.

 This year, Haval has launched its new logo and ushered in its first year of brand. While becoming independent as a world professional SUV brand, Haval has announced a series of ambitious product plans: it will launch 8 models covering SUV segments at all levels in the coming two years, thereby further consolidating its leading role and professional quality in the SUV segment. With "professional SUV" as brand orientation and development vision, Haval will make concentrated efforts from this year, and give full play to its resource advantage after its independence and a more flexible market strategy, to introduce more quality models to the SUV segment.

 At Auto Shanghai 2013 which is about to open on April 20, Haval will make its strongest debut after its independence with an array of all-new models including Haval H2 and Haval H8, then Haval family will cause a new sensation in the SUV segment.
