据中国汽车工业协会(CAAM)公布，今年9月中国汽车销量达271万辆，同比增长5.7%。CAAM曾于2017年1月做出预测，称本年度汽车销量增幅将达5%。据路透社10月12日报道，该协会近日表示，此前的预期可能难以实现。但CAAM副秘书长石建华认为，2017年汽车销量增速至少会达到4%。由于小型车购置税减半政策到期取消，2017年汽车市场开局并不乐观。从6月开始，汽车销量有所反弹。截至9月，中国实现连续四个月的汽车销量增长。但基于市场现状，CAAM对全年增速的预测仍显谨慎。据悉，9月中国汽车销量达271万辆，同比增长5.7%。前九个月累计销量达2020万辆，同比增长4.5%。而2016，中国的汽车销量全年增速为13.7%。市场分析人士表示，得益于经济增长整体强劲及有关激励措施出台，近期汽车销售表现相对强劲，6/7/8月的增速分别达4.5%/6.2%/5.3%。同时，丰田汽车公司、本田、日产及美国通用都于本周公布了不俗的销售业绩。此外，福特也将于本周晚些时候公布9月业绩。CAAM数据显示，在政府推动下，新能源汽车(NEV)9月在华销量增长达79.1%。而迄今为止，2017年新能源汽车的在华销量为39.8万，较2016年增长37.7%。包括纯电动和混动版车型在内，2017年或将实现70万辆新能源汽车的在华销售目标。此外，汽车制造商必须在2019年之前达到中国政府要求的新能源汽车生产规模，这一规定促进了电动汽车交易及新款电动和混动汽车的推出。

According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), domestic auto sales reached 2.71m units in September with a growth of 5.7% year on year.
