2026年的中国车市，没有迎来预想中的"开门红"。 智通财经记者近期走访北京重点商圈的多家汽车销售门店，一线销售人员普遍反映，尽管店内客流平 稳，但真正下单的消费者并不多；热销车型的交付周期大幅缩短，连此前需要排队等待的爆款车型也开 始感受到市场寒意。 与一线市场反馈一致，乘联会公布的最新数据显示，2026年1月1日至11日，全国乘用车市场零售32.8万 辆，同比去年1月同期下降32%，较上月同期下降42%；而批发数据同样不容乐观，同期，全国乘用车 厂商批发38.1万辆，同比去年1月同期下降40%。 2026年1月1日起，延续了十年的新能源汽车购置税全额免征政策，正式改为减半征收。政策调整的直接 后果，是购车成本的上升。以一辆20万元的左右车型为例，政策调整后购车成本将增加约1万元。 补贴退坡的冲击远超预期。乘联会数据显示，新能源渗透率出现了明显回落。2026年1月1日至11日，全 国乘用车新能源零售渗透率为35.5%，新能源批发渗透率为43.9%，均低于2025年全年超过50%的平均水 平。 这意味着，即便是新能源"主赛道"，也未能躲过这轮销量寒冬。走访中，多位销售人员反映，同样的预 算，原本坚定选择新能源 ...
