China Passenger Car Sales Slide for 11th Straight Month on Sluggish Demand

Passenger car sales in China declined for the 11th consecutive month in August amid pressure from a cooling petroleum market and the rise of new energy vehicles.Retail sales of passenger cars fell 24% year over year to more than 1.5 million units, according to data released Tuesday by the China Passenger Car Association.The decline aligns with the CPCA's Aug. 21 forecast, which also pointed to a lack of significant improvement in consumer expectations and fundamentals.Domestic brand sales slid 19% year over year to 1.1 million units despite market share rising 4.1 percentage points to about 70%, while mainstream joint venture brand sales fell 35% to 310,000 units, and luxury car sales declined 26% to 150,000 units.New energy vehicle retail sales fell 10% to more than 1 million units during the month. However, wholesale figures rose 16% year over year, led by BYD (HKG:1211, SHE:002594) with 433,384 units, followed by Geely (HKG:0175), Chery Automobile (HKG:9973), Zhejiang Leapmotor (HKG:9863) and Tesla at fifth.Exports jumped 78% to 888,000 units, equivalent to 38% of passenger sales, while production slipped 4.5% to 2.3 million units.

Tesla, Chinese Automakers Recall 4.3 Million EVs Over Concealed Door Handles

Following a ban on concealed doors on electric vehicles in China enacted in February, Tesla and other Chinese EV makers filed recall notices with the State Administration for Market Regulation covering about 4.3 million cars.Tesla is leading the move with the recall of about 2.98 million vehicles, noting that it will provide over-the-air software updates to address the issue.Tesla's recall covers domestically produced Model 3 and Model Y units, along with imported Model S, Model X, and Model 3 vehicles. The emergency mechanical door handles are "difficult to identify and operate because their color is similar to the interior trim," and could "hinder occupants from quickly opening the doors to escape and impede rescue efforts by those outside the vehicle, posing a safety hazard," the SAMR said.The US-headquartered automaker said it will affix warning labels free of charge to vehicles within the recall scope.Xiaomi (HKG:1810) will recall 390,435 of its units, and Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology (HKG:9863) will recall 371,200. XPeng (HKG:9868) will fix 264,842 cars.Geely Automobile's (HKG: 0175) Zeekr will repair 92,658 units, while Chery Automobile (HKG: 9973) will fix 68,488. Dongfeng Motor (HKG: 0489) will recall 53,452, BAIC Motor (HKG: 1958) will see 46,850 units repaired, and FAW will recall 11,908 units.The ban, first announced in February and taking effect on Jan. 1, 2027, will require EV makers to equip mechanical release systems on car doors. Automakers with already-approved automatic concealed door models have two years to change their designs, the industry ministry said at the time.The safety rule was introduced following several crashes where power failures prevented rescuers from opening the automatic doors, Bloomberg reported.Among those crashes was a Xiaomi electric sedan, which caught fire in an early-morning crash in Chengdu, China, back in October 2025.This marks China's largest automotive recall to date, multiple media reports said.

BYD Leads China NEV Sales in June

BYD (HKG:1211, SHE:002594) led June's new energy vehicle sales as demand for such vehicles continues to surge abroad, even as domestic expansion faces distinct retail headwinds.BYD recorded the highest number of sales among Chinese NEV makers, selling 403,472 units during the month, up 5.46% from a year earlier. The carmaker's momentum was buoyed by its overseas performance, where passenger exports nearly doubled year over year to a record 174,897 units, offsetting a cool domestic retail market.Meanwhile, Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology (HKG:9863) and Nio (HKG:9866, SGX:NIO) recorded significant increases in their global deliveries, jumping 95% and 62.9% year over year, respectively, to deliver 93,376 units and 40,597 units.Leapmotor's numbers were boosted by its extended-range hybrid lineup, while Nio's deliveries were split across its luxury brand and its emerging sub-brands.SAIC Motor (SHA:600104) maintained strong overall volume, with group-wide sales reaching 395,000 units in June, up 8.1% from the previous year. Sales were boosted by electrification across the company's portfolio. Monthly NEV-specific sales 66.6% year over year to hit 201,000 units.Meanwhile, Geely Automobile's (HKG:0175) NEV sales climbed 2% year on year to 240,799 units, while those of Chery Automobile (HKG:9973) rose 9.5% to 240,585 units.Meanwhile, XPeng (HKG:9868) sold 40,126 vehicles during the month, bringing deliveries in the second quarter to 103,295 units. The carmaker plans to launch and presale a new model, XPENG MONA L03, on Thursday.Li Auto (HKG:2015) delivered 30,895 NEVs in the same month, bringing 1.7 million units into sale as of the end of June. The automaker said it surpassed 150,000 units in cumulative production after introducing a new flagship SUV, Li L8, on June 23.The number in NEV exports rose, but analysts from S&P Global said it is not enough to lift the slumping domestic demand.On a June 15 note, the ratings firm predicted NEV domestic sales to drop by 7% year on year to 25.4 million units in June as demand slowed down due to a reduction in trade-in and NEV purchase tax incentives."While mainland China automakers have been praised for their speed to market and ability to rapidly update products and technology, this frenetic cycle has a downside," S&P Global said. "The pace of model updates from mainland OEMs is causing some consumers to delay purchases, waiting for better deals both technologically and financially."
