According to data from the Passenger Transport Association, 21,000 imported cars were imported in September 2026, down 49% year on year and 6% month on month. From January to September 2026, 290,000 vehicles were imported, a year-on-year decrease of 20%. Passenger cars account for more than 99% of the automobile import structure this year, making them the absolute dominant position. If pickups in light trucks are included, the number of passenger cars is even higher. The 15% increase in imported hybrid vehicles from January to September 2026 showed a good performance. Pure electric passenger cars fell 27%, plug-in hybrid fell 54%, and imported new energy passenger vehicles showed weak performance. The displacement of imported models of passenger cars is concentrated on gasoline models below 2 liters. Last year, 3-4 liters had a better ability to withstand falling, and this year it changed to 1.5-2 liters, which is relatively good.
