TSLA.USBYD Song was the best-selling SUV in China in February with 51,592 retail sales, and the Model Y ranked No. 2 with 25,526 units.
The Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model Y was the No. 2 best-selling SUV in China in February, with the BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) Song taking the top spot by a significant margin.
Model Y retail sales in China in February were 25,526 units, up 37.3 percent from 18,593 units a year ago, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
That puts the Tesla SUV at No. 2 on the list of best-selling SUVs in China, according to the CPCA's list.
The BYD Song topped the list with 51,592 retail sales in February, up 110.3 percent from 24,532 units in the same month last year.
BYD Yuan Plus retail sales in February were 20,279 units, up 349.1 percent from 4,515 units in the same month last year, and ranked third on the list.
In January-February, BYD Song retail sales were 101,301 units, up 115.6 percent year-on-year, making it the best-selling SUV in China for the first two months.
The Tesla Model Y came in second on the list with 39,710 units in the same period, up 13.6 percent year-on-year, and the Changan CS75 came in third with 35,030 units.
Notably, this is the first time the CPCA has not placed the Model Y in the ranking of high-end SUV sales with a starting price above 300,000 yuan ($43,080).
In the CPCA's previous lists, the Model Y has appeared in the premium SUV sales rankings, even though its starting price has been below RMB 300,000 after two major price cuts.
Tesla Model 3 sales in February were 8,397 units, up 82.3 percent from 4,607 units a year ago, according to the CPCA.
This puts the Model 3 at No. 7 among the best-selling new energy sedans in February.
The BYD Qin was the best-selling new energy sedan in February, with the NIO ET5 ranking 10th on the list with 6,471 units sold.
In January-February, the Tesla Model 3 retailed 21,056 units in China, placing it at No. 6 on the list of best-selling new energy sedans.

NIO.US | 9866.HK | NIO.SG
NIO's (NYSE: NIO) ET5 electric sedan slipped in a China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) sales ranking of premium sedans, as it was passed by the Audi A4L last month.
With 6,471 retail sales in February, the ET5 ranked No. 7 in China for premium sedan sales starting at more than 300,000 yuan ($43,080), according to a list released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
The ET5 ranking dropped one spot from January as the previously No. 7 Audi A4L outsold the ET5 with 6,935 units in February.

NIO delivered 12,157 vehicles in February, including 5,037 SUVs, and 7,120 sedans.
Considering that NIO's sedans include only the ET7 and ET5, this means that ET7 delivered 649 units in February.
The ET7 has failed to make the list for the past two months, and the flagship NIO sedan had 1,379 deliveries in December, when it ranked No. 10.
The Audi A6L was the best-selling premium sedan in China in February, with 12,167 units sold, and the top spot on the list in January was the BMW 5 Series.

Regulatory filing: Here are core specs for BYD’s Denza brand’s new SUV, Denza N7
The Denza N7 will be available in single- and dual-motor versions, with an option for LiDARs, which are set on both sides of the front bumper.
BYDDY.US | 1211.HK
The Denza N7, a new SUV from BYD's premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand Denza, has appeared on a regulatory filing list, after the brand began warming up for the model earlier this week.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) today announced the latest batch of models that will be allowed to be sold in China, and the Denza N7 is included in the list.
The public can submit their feedback on the list between March 9 and March 15. Entry into the catalog is the last major regulatory process before a model is allowed to be sold in China.
The Denza N7 is available in four versions, including two single-motor versions and two dual-motor versions, the former with a motor with peak power of 230 kW and the latter with an additional motor with peak power of 160 kW.
The vehicle measures 4,860 mm in length, 1,935 mm in width and 1,602 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,940 mm. It can reach a top speed of 180 km/h.
The Denza N7 will be powered by lithium iron phosphate batteries from BYD's battery division, FinDreams Battery.
It will be offered with the LiDARs, which are set on both sides of the front bumper, similar to the setup of the XPeng G9.
On December 20, Zhao Changjiang, general manager of Denza's sales division, shared six spy photos of the SUV on Weibo, showing what the model could look like.
In the comments section of that Weibo, Zhao said the SUV is aimed at capturing the market for traditional internal combustion engine cars priced around 400,000 yuan ($57,440).
The model's exterior restores much of the design of Denza's concept car INCEPTION, which was unveiled at the Chengdu auto show on August 26, 2022.
Denza's previously announced 2023 new vehicle plan shows that it will release two new vehicles this year, the Denza N7, a five-seat midsize SUV, and the Denza N8, a midsize SUV with six and seven-seat layouts.
Denza was established in February 2011 as a joint venture between BYD and Daimler, with each of them holding a 50 percent stake at the time. Last year, BYD's stake in Denza was increased to 90 percent.
Denza's only model currently on sale, the D9 MPV, went on sale on August 23, 2022, with deliveries starting October 26.
The brand sold 7,325 vehicles in February, up 13.76 percent from 6,439 in January, according to figures it announced earlier this month.
