CPCA's Cui Dongshu said weak domestic demand in October 2026 made export strength the key driver of auto sales. October passenger-vehicle exports (complete units and CKD) reached 928,000 units, up 69% YoY, and accounted for 35% of manufacturers' sales versus 19% a year earlier. New-energy passenger-vehicle exports hit 582,000 units, up 145% YoY; A00 and A0 class pure-electric models made up 56% of pure-electric exports. Export volumes are concentrated in low-to-mid-price mainstream models, boosting volume resilience for price-and-scale-led domestic brands such as BYD, Chery and Geely, while firms reliant on high-end or ICE models face greater pressure.
