The destocking of imported cars continued in February

at present, many models are still being nationalized, such as Cadillac, which accounts for a certain share of the imported car market, which will also have a great impact on the sales of imported cars. It is expected that the decline in the growth rate of imported car sales in the second half of this year will increase again. There are two major steps for the imported car industry to go to Jinan to test the gold of the experimental machine, and the inventory situation continues. In another quarter, the depth of the industry inventory will drop to about 3.5 months. On March 15, Wang Cun, senior manager of the marketing department of Guoji Automobile Co., Ltd., said at the national automobile information release meeting held at the Beijing Beichen Asian Games Village Automobile Trading Market Center

from the customs import volume in February, the supply of imported vehicles is still decreasing. In February 2016, the import volume of Customs cars was 57100, a year-on-year decrease of 7.2%, of which 56400 passenger cars were imported, a year-on-year decrease of 7.5%. From January to February, the total number of imported cars was 131000, a year-on-year decrease of 18.1%, of which 129700 passenger cars were imported, a year-on-year decrease of 18.3%. Wang Cun pointed out that the number of imported cars in the first two months of this year was lower than that in 2014 and 2015. From the supply side, the imported car market is still not optimistic, he said

from the perspective of various models of imported passenger cars, in February, the import volume structure of cars, SUVs and MPVS did not change, but the import volume of cars was still not zero, but increased under the condition of the decline of the imported car market. In February, the pulling force range of 100 Newtons was enough, and the imported cars, SUVs and MPVS were 18200, 37000 and 3300 respectively, with the shares of 32.3%, 65.5% and 2.3% respectively. Wang Cun pointed out that the share of SUV imports continued to exceed 60%, but there were also significant adjustments. The import volume of SUV fell by 8.9% over the same period last year. It is worth noting that in February, car imports bucked the trend and achieved a positive growth of 7.7%, while MPV fell by more than 60%. Judging from the cumulative import volume from January to February, the import volume of the three major models has declined, and the supply of imported vehicles is still in the stage of comprehensive adjustment

from the sales side, the sales of imported cars are still declining. According to the statistics of the joint meeting of imported cars, the sales of imported cars in February were 51900, a year-on-year decrease of 14%; From January to February, a total of 130000 imported vehicles were sold, a year-on-year decrease of 6.9%. However, unlike the overall decline in the sales of imported cars, the top 10 passenger car brands in the sales of imported cars are still dominated by growth. BMW, Mercedes Benz and Land Rover occupied the top three positions in the sales of imported vehicles, among which the sales of imported vehicles of Land Rover increased by 95.3% year-on-year. Jaguar's imported car sales ranked ninth, with a growth rate of 280%. However, the sales of imported cars from Toyota, Subaru, Audi and mini fell compared with the same period last year

from the perspective of the terminal sales of imported cars to the future development of the experimental machine, the preferential margin continues to increase in terms of the effective improvement of product process quality and price. In January, the average discount of imported cars in the overall market was 69000 yuan, with a discount range of 10.9%, a slight increase over December 2015

Wang Cun specially pointed out that the inventory of the imported car industry is adjusting in a good direction. The inventory depth of the imported car industry in February was 4.2 months. Affected by seasonal factors, sales fell, so the inventory in February increased by 0.4 months month on month. Wang Cun believes that after another quarter of adjustment, the industry inventory will fall to about 3.5 months, so the pressure on inventory in the imported car market will be reduced. However, Wang Cun also pointed out that at present, many models are still being nationalized, such as Cadillac, which accounts for a certain share of the imported car market, which will also have a great impact on the sales of imported cars. It is expected that the growth rate of imported car sales will increase again in the second half of this year
