中国蓬勃发展的电动SUV市场正变得越来越拥挤，至少有20款新车型将于4月推出，其中包括电动汽车制造商小鹏汽车和蔚来汽车的六款新车型，以及大众、宝马和丰田等现有汽车制造商的车型。2020 年，市场上只有 76 款电动 SUV 车型，但自特斯拉开始在中国生产国产 Model Y 以来，该行业的受欢迎程度飙升。尽管最近价格略有上涨，但 Model Y 在中国仍然比 2020 年 10 月初便宜 20%。
Porsche and Aston Martin maintained their profit forecasts for the year, thanks to a buoyant demand for luxury cars. Porsche saw sales increase through the first three months of 2022 and profits rise by a quarter YoY, thanks to increasing sales and high spending on bespoke features. In Q1, China accounted for over a quarter of sales. Aston Martin's Q1 revenues benefited from an average 20% rise in selling prices YoY to £180,000; however, the group's operating losses widened. Profitability looks set to remain buoyant for the foreseeable future. Stellantis, the owner of Jepp and Maserati, announced a 14% rise in Q1 revenues, supported by steady pricing and the production uptick, since the chip shortage that had rocked the auto sector for three years has started to ease.
