The list shows that the top three countries in the world's top 10 auto sales in September are China, the United States, and India; sales are 2.1301 million, 1.1768 million, and 439,000 respectively.

China ranks first with a strong sales momentum, with sales of 2.1301 million vehicles in September, which is almost twice that of the second-ranked United States. Not only is China far ahead in total sales, but its performance in the field of new energy is even more eye-catching, with a new energy penetration rate of 52.9%, ranking first on the list, far exceeding other countries.

The United States sold 1.1768 million vehicles in September, ranking second on the list, but the new energy penetration rate in the United States is only 10.8%; the electric vehicle market in the United States still has a large gap compared to gasoline vehicles.

India ranks third on the list, with auto sales of 439,000 vehicles in September and a new energy penetration rate of only 0.3%, which is also the country with the smallest penetration rate in the list.

Japan's car sales in September were 438,100 units, with a new energy penetration rate of 2.8%. This also indirectly proves that Japanese cars such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan are still adhering to the technical route of pure fuel vehicles and hybrid vehicles.

As for the fifth to tenth places on the list, they are the United Kingdom, Brazil, Germany, France, Canada, Italy and other countries. The last place on the list is Italy, with car sales of 136,200 units in September.

This list not only shows the pattern of global car sales, but also highlights the development trends and differences of various countries in the field of new energy.
