Toyota, Nissan and Honda all recorded double-digit year-over-year sales declines. Toyota's new car sales in China in August were 118,400 units, a year-on-year decrease of 22.8%, and were lower than the same period last year for seven consecutive months. Nissan's sales were 28,275 units, a year-on-year decrease of 51.9%; Honda's sales were 26,749 units, a year-on-year decrease of 49.9%. Both sales were nearly halved. Nissan's sales have declined year-on-year for five consecutive months, while Honda's has been lower than the same period last year for 31 consecutive months. Analysts believe that as price competition among various electric vehicle companies in China becomes increasingly fierce, electric vehicles with more obvious price advantages have attracted more consumer demand, while sales of fuel vehicles, the mainstay of Japanese car companies, continue to be sluggish.
