Cui Dongshu: In August, the national passenger car retail market showed a special trend of differentiated growth characterized by shrinking low-end consumption and passive consumption upgrading.

Zhito Finance APP has learned that on October 8, Cui Dongshu of the China Passenger Car Association released an analysis of regional market flows for passenger vehicles in August 2026. The structural decline in the domestic auto market and the differentiated launch of regional consumption policies are profoundly reshaping the development landscape of China's regional passenger vehicle market. Under the strong adjustment of the national "two new" policies to boost domestic demand for passenger vehicles and the impact of high oil prices, the national passenger vehicle retail market in August 2026 showed a special trend of shrinking low-end consumption and differentiated growth under passive consumption upgrading.
