How's the changzhou market
Let's see what happens
Part. 01
New car break-up promotion
Subsidy to fuel the car
“the 2026 land rover won the aura l, sold at a maximum of 400,000 in the early years, and now the cost of a naked car is less than 170,000 to drive away.” in moo-jin city, new north motor city, the promotional posters “strip-off” at a time-limited price in the 4s exhibition halls were filled with posters。
Since the beginning of the year, the luxury brands have taken the lead in lowering prices, and joint ventures and ownership have kept pace. In the changzhou market, bmw and mercedes-type main vehicles were sold at a reduced price of $20,000, while the popular and toyota terminal preferences generally exceeded $30,000。
However, unprecedented levels of preference have not been replaced by expected market heat. “many customers are now watching and feel that fuel vehicle prices will fall again when the country's 6b emissions standards are fully implemented in july.” a joint venture brand 4s sales manager confessed。
It's warm in the cold. With the new policy in place, the replacement and repurchase rates of older clients have increased this year, from around 20 per cent in previous years to over 30 per cent. Subsidies policies are becoming an important lever to leverage stock markets。

Second-hand car city "fast" for sale
The car dealer is very careful
New car price “dive”
Direct to the used car market
Changzhou used fuel truck prices are up
Avalanche falls
There's a post from changzhou
"200,000 in 21 years, now 43,000."
Journalists visited a number of used car trading markets and observed that there was a high level of parking in the fuel car exhibition area, with few visitors. “it is too late to take fuel trucks, and one price a day, it could be a loss.” wang, who has been in second-hand car business for more than a decade, told journalists that the three-year preservation rate for ordinary domestic fuel cars had fallen to around 40 per cent, a decline of over 25 percentage points compared to 2020。
Industry data show that the average sale price of domestic fuel second-hand cars fell by over 8 per cent in may 2026, that some luxury brands depreciated nearly 50 per cent over three years, and that the current price of the additional class 300,000 cars was less than $200,000. Audi a6l's three-year old used car offer was generally down by between $350,000 compared to two years ago, and the three-year preservation rate of the historically strong day class b car fell by 55 per cent。
Part. 03
Changing consumption mindset
Market acceleration restructuring
“previously buying a fuel car is a default choice, and now buying a fuel car requires a reason.” mr. Chen's views represent a lot of consumer mentality。
Journalists note that this year our city introduced a “replacement + end-of-life + net purchase” three-tier subsidy policy, whereby used cars buy 2. 0 litres and 10 per cent of the cost of fuel tankers below the end-of-life limit (up to $15,000), but that new energy subsidies are even greater (up to $20,000), further directing consumption towards new energy sources。
In the face of changes in the fuel truck market, the changzhou car dealer is actively adjusting his strategy. Some 4s stores have increased the layout of new energy vehicles, second-hand carriers have shifted to new energy used vehicles, while many have introduced services such as extended quality assurance and low-interest loans to attract clients。
“as opposed to previous years, it was before that it was exclusively for oil and not for electric cars, and now it is almost the other way around.” boss zhao, a used car dealer in changzhou, said: “the second hand tesla and the ideal are better sold, sold as soon as they come in, and the trade is high.”
“the short-term pain is inevitable, but as the market clears, fuel trucks will return to rational prices, benefiting more consumers.” industry sources indicate that the domestic automobile market is going through a historical structural trajectories, that decades of fuel car dominance has been completely broken, that new energy vehicles have grown from a resupply to a market mainstream, and that this has resulted in a new competitive trend between new energy sources and fuel car tracks。
