The Passenger Car Association today released a retail sales report for March 2024. Data shows that retail sales in the domestic narrow passenger car market reached 1.69 million units in March, a year-on-year increase of 6.2% and a month-on-month increase of 53.1%. Cumulative sales from January to March were 4.832 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 13.2%.
According to the Passenger Car Association, an important reason for the high growth in March both year-on-year and month-on-month was the post-holiday consumption recovery brought about by the Spring Festival. The price war heated up rapidly after the Spring Festival, which resulted in an obvious consumer wait-and-see phenomenon. Coupled with attention to some new cars and expectations for the trade-in policy, the auto market showed a slow start in March.
With the launch of Xiaomi SU7 and the further adjustment of the prices of a new round of related models, coupled with the intensive release of new models in April, the market's consumer enthusiasm will gradually be stimulated.
