More than 150 new cars will be launched in China during the second half of 2026, with over 90 percent being electric vehicles.

Foreign Media: China's market will see a record-breaking 156 new car launches in the second half of 2026, with about 90% being electric vehicles—58 in the third quarter and 98 in the fourth quarter, primarily focused on the mass-market intelligent electric vehicle segment priced around 100,000 RMB.

Although new car demand has rebounded somewhat, it still falls short of supporting automotive companies' profitability. Approximately 50 electric vehicle manufacturers rely on new models to sustain sales growth.

Analysts point out that due to brand recognition and production advantages, only top-tier automakers are likely to secure large orders, while smaller manufacturers face a severe "life-or-death" challenge, making a new round of price wars imminent.
