Imported cars hit a new low in six years. Parallel imports urgently need to "give the green light"
in February, the import volume of Customs cars reached 47000, a year-on-year drop of 36.1%, a new low in the same period in recent six years. Wang Cun said that the serious decline of imported cars was due to the Spring Festival holiday, but it also reflected the obvious impact of the overall economic situation on consumption expectations
after July 1, many cities will implement the "national six" emission standards, and the purchase volume of dealers will be significantly restrained. "In the actual implementation of the 'national six year plan', if there is no special policy for parallel import, many vehicles will encounter difficulties in being unable to license, which is undoubtedly a blow to the production and sales of parallel imported vehicles." Wang Cun said. Precautions for friction coefficient measurement
following the sharp decline in January, imported cars hit a new low in the same period in recent six years in February. Recently, the data released by the China Automobile Circulation Association showed that in February, the import volume of Customs vehicles reached 47000, a year-on-year drop of 36.1%; In June, a total of 127000 imported cars, down 25% from the same period last year
the decline of imported vehicles in the first two months even exceeded the annual destocking period. Wang Cun, director of the import vehicle Professional Committee of the Circulation Association, said that the decline of imported vehicles was serious due to the Spring Festival holiday, but it also reflected the obvious impact of the overall economic situation on consumption expectations
under the sluggish overall automobile consumption, the sales of imported cars continued to decline. The data showed that the sales of imported cars in February were 41000, a year-on-year decrease of 21.8%; In June, the total sales of imported vehicles was 119000, a year-on-year decrease of 11.4%, and the terminal demand continued to decline. Wang Cun said that under the combined effect of the short sales cycle and the domestic economic transformation, the decline in the sales of imported cars increased in February
both production and sales of customized materials have decreased, making the inventory of imported garages maintain a delicate balance. In February, the inventory of the imported car industry was 3.89 months, and the inventory depth increased compared with the previous month, which was in line with the law of month on month increase of inventory in February over the years
in February, four of the top ten brands in terms of import volume maintained growth, namely Lexus, Lincoln, Tesla, and Volvo. Among them, Lexus' year-on-year growth rate reached 26.3%, surpassing BMW to rank first; In June, Lexus also led the list and was the only growth brand. Wang Cun said that Lexus is currently in a difficult situation, indicating that the change cycle of different brand models is obvious, and Lexus is just in the peak sales period
in terms of terminal sales, the brand competition of the first group continues to intensify, with Lexus rising to the first place, Mercedes Benz falling to the third place, and Toyota surpassing Porsche in the fourth place. In addition, among the top ten brands in terms of sales volume, five brands declined, namely Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Land Rover, BMW and Volvo; In contrast, smart and Subaru, sales increased by more than 30% year-on-year, and the differentiation of imported car brands intensified
in terms of models, imported cars rose against the trend, with a cumulative monthly sales of 64000 vehicles, an increase of 5.39% year-on-year; The sales of SUVs was 53600, a year-on-year decrease of 27.89%; MPV sales volume is only 3 digits, with an extremely significant decline. In addition, the displacement of imported vehicles increased slightly in the first two months, of which the share of less than 3.0 liters was 84.5%, a decrease of 3.5% over the whole year last year; 3.. 0 liter share increased by 1.5 percentage points
focus on the parallel import market, with a total of 5700 parallel imported vehicles in February, a year-on-year decline of 30.8%; In January, 17000 vehicles were imported in parallel, accounting for a slight increase in the total number of imported vehicles. Affected by the sluggish consumption in the overall automobile market, parallel imports continued to decline sharply. In Wang Cun's view, the sales volume of domestic luxury cars increased slightly year-on-year in the first two months of this year, mainly driven by small and medium-sized cars, while parallel imports are more large cars, and the production and sales volume decreased significantly
it is worth noting that many cities will implement the "national six" emission standards after July 1, which will hinder parallel imports, significantly curb the purchase volume of dealers, and force dealers to sell inventory vehicles in the first half of the year. Wang Cun believes that "in the actual implementation of the 'national six year plan', if there is no special policy for parallel import, many vehicles will encounter difficulties in being unable to license, which is undoubtedly a blow to the production and sales of parallel imported vehicles."
it is the only copper deep processing industrial base brand with the most complete varieties, the most complete industrial chain, the perfect supporting system and the most competitive in the domestic copper processing field. In terms of parallel imports, Toyota has the highest share, accounting for 43% in February. Nissan surpasses Mercedes Benz, and the stripped part must not have obvious damage, rising to the second place, and Mitsubishi ranks the fourth; The cumulative share of the top six brands is 93%, and the brand concentration is high. Wang Cun said that Nissan and Mitsubishi have achieved good results in the parallel import market relying on the best-selling of Tule and Pajero respectively
in terms of models, the monthly parallel import MPV share was 6%, down 2 percentage points from last year; The SUV share was 91%, up 6 percentage points year-on-year; The share of other models remained stable. Wang Cun said, "under the market downturn, SUV models in parallel imports are relatively popular, and the displacement structure also has a trend of high-end development."
february, parallel imported models 3 The 0 liter displacement range continued to increase significantly, seizing part of 2 0-liter range, resulting in a 10.6 percentage point decline in the latter's share compared with last year. Wang Cun said that when the market for parallel imported cars is good, small and medium displacement models may be introduced. When the market is bad, dealers can only focus on the import of tight models
referring to the trend of imported cars during the year, Wang Cun believed that the continued suspension of tariffs on American cars was undoubtedly a good thing for imported cars. In addition, the benefits of tax cuts and fee reductions as well as value-added tax cuts will also gradually appear in the later stage, which is conducive to changing automobile consumption expectations. "In the second quarter and the second half of the year, the situation of imported cars is bound to be much better than that in the month."
