Manufacturers such as Mercedes and Porsche release the total number of units sold over the month but do not provide details on which models contributed to the overall figure. In addition, Baic’s sales figures are not reflected in Naamsa’s monthly sales report, which is why it is not included in the list of “Best-selling models for August 2023 from each manufacturer”.
