Vehicle sales in May gained 15.97% from a year earlier to 1,607,200, according to China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. The large increase came mainly from automakers rushing to overstock dealers in order to meet half-year sales targets in June. The overall market grew just 1.7% for the first five months, reaching 8,023,500, as deliveries of commercial vehicles sank 10.31% to 1,693,500.

In May, 1,281,900 passenger cars were sold, 22.56% more than a year ago, including 893,300 sedans/hatchbacks (up 19.59%), 40,300 MPVs (up 10.94%), 162,600 SUVs (up 58.41%), and 185,700 microvans (up 16.09%).
