Looking ahead to Q2 of 2025, the Shanghai Auto Show will feature multiple new energy vehicles from domestic brands, ushering in a period of intense new product supply that is expected to drive consumer enthusiasm for purchasing cars, thereby boosting demand and sustaining the strong performance of the automotive market.
