The association said sales were buoyed by government stimulus policies. On Jan 14, China announced a plan to halve the purchase tax on passenger cars with engine displacements of less than 1.6 liters to 5 percent, effective January 20.

"Passenger autos with engines under 1.6 liters accounted for 70 percent of the passenger vehicle market, so the bounce of small-engine cars played a critical role in the revival," Zhu Yiping, CAAM assistant secretary general, told Xinhua.

Domestic car production was 807,900 units, up about 23 percent from both a month and a year earlier.
