The 60 thousand yuan that the dealer mentioned refers to the lowest price increase for imported Chrysler cars. The policy change directly affects the cost of US built cars. According to the new policy, the tariff rate for Chrysler cars is 15%, about 22% for GM, and as high as 34% for Ford. The General Manager of Shanghai Sen Hong Auto Sales Company, Shao Xiaodong says the prices of these vehicles will rise by dozens of thousands of yuan.
"Let's look at a 500 thousand yuan GM car. Based on the policy change, the price of this car will increase to 600 thousand."
Dealers of US built cars are not happy with the new legislation. They worry that the market share of American cars will shrink due to the price hikes. In the first three months of last year, 15 thousand US built cars were imported into China, making up only about 5% of the total market share. Meanwhile German built and Japanese built vehicles constituted 70% of the market share.
Chairman of the Auto Industry Association of the Chinese Trade Promotion Committee, Wang Xia says the policy change will significantly affect the strategy of large auto companies in the Chinese market.
"The anti-dumping and anti-subsidy policies will not affect the domestic imported vehicle market too much. I believe the legislation provides warning for German built and Japanese built cars. In the future, auto companies will adjust their strategies in the Chinese market when considering the policy issue."
At present, the majority of automobile companies think highly of the Chinese market, and most foreign companies have achieved local production. Experts say the policy change will accelerate the process of local production, and encourage more domestic auto companies to make money abroad.
