Despite this, GM China President Julian Blissett said he is optimistic about 2022. 上汽通用2021年销量为147万辆，同比下降约9%。尽管如此，通用汽车中国公司总裁柏历（Julian Blissett）表示，他对2022年持乐观态度。 Many Japanese carmakers suffered as well. Nissan's deliveries totaled 1.38 million units, down 5.2 percent year-on-year, while Honda sold 1.56 million, marking a 4 percent fall. Mazda's sales slumped 14.3 percent year-on-year to 184,000 units. 许多日本汽车制造商也有相同遭遇。东风日产销量138万辆，同比下降5.2%；本田销量156万辆，同比下降4%；马自达销量为18.4万辆，同比大幅下降14.3%。 Toyota was the only exception. Partly insulated from chip shortages, it delivered 1.94 million vehicles in China, up 8.2 percent from 2020. 丰田是唯一的例外。由于部分产业并未受到芯片短缺的影响，丰台在中国的交付量达到194万辆，较2020年增长8.2%。 The CAAM said both Japanese and German carmakers' market share fell somewhat in China last year, without offering specific figures. 中国汽车工业协会表示，2021年，日本和德国汽车制造商在中国的市场份额都有所下降，但没有提供具体数据。 The premium vehicle segment experienced something different in 2021. Volkswagen's Audi deliveries fell 3.6 percent. BMW, however, saw its deliveries soar 9 percent to 846,000 units, **consolidating **its position as the best-selling premium carmaker in the country. 高档汽车市场则有不同的表现。大众旗下的奥迪交付量下降了3.6%。然而，宝马的交付量大幅增长9%，达到84.6万辆，巩固了其在华销量第一的高档汽车制造商的地位。 Luxury **marques **hit all-time high last year. Lamborghini sold 935 vehicles in China, up 55 percent from 2020. Bentley delivered 4,033 units, soaring 40 percent year-on-year. 豪华汽车品牌去年创下历史新高。兰博基尼在中国售出935辆汽车，较2020年增长55%。宾利交付4,033辆，同比增长40%。 Porsche's deliveries totaled 95,671 units in China, up 8 percent from 2020, but the growth rate was less than its global average of 11 percent. 2021年，保时捷在华累计交付量为95671辆，同比增长8%，但仍低于增幅11%的全球平均水平。 Private Chinese carmakers did a decent job as well. China's largest SUV maker Great Wall Motors sold 1.28 million vehicles last year, up 15.2 percent year-on-year from 2020. 中国民营汽车制造商的表现同样亮眼。中国最大的SUV制造商长城汽车去年售出128万辆汽车，同比增长15.2%。 The year 2021 marked the sixth year in a row that Great Wall Motors sold over 1 million vehicles. 并且，这是长城汽车连续第六年突破百万销量。 Last year, a record number of 143,000 units were sold in international markets, accounting for over 11 percent of the carmaker's total sales. 2021年，其海外销量达到14.3万辆，创历史记录，占该品牌总销量的比重高达11%以上。 Great Wall Motors aims to sell 4 million vehicles a year in 2025, with 80 percent of them NEVs. 长城汽车公布其战略目标，即截至2025年，实现年销量达到400万辆，其中新能源汽车占比80%。 BYD sold 740,000 vehicles last year, up 73.34 percent from 2020.
