Cui Dongshu: Imported cars from January to May decreased by 11% year-on-year to 160,000 units. Imports in May fell by 19% to 38,000 units.

According to the Securities Times APP, Cui Dongshu stated in an article that in May 2026, 38,000 imported cars were imported, a decrease of 19%. However, due to the low base in January 2025, although transportation was hindered by the US-Iran war, the overall decrease in imported cars was relatively small. From January to May 2026, 160,000 imported cars were imported, a year-on-year decrease of 11%. With the rise of domestic cars and the acceleration of the localization of international brands, the importation of cars has been continuously low in recent years, with imported cars having negative growth for 3 consecutive years. If fluctuations are smoothed out, it will be 8 consecutive years of negative growth.
