China's automobile sales missed official estimate in 2012 due to anti-congestion measures adopted by the government and low imports from Japan on territorial dispute.
Auto sales grew 4.3 percent in 2012, which was much below the official estimate of 8 percent growth, data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers showed Friday.
The industry group forecast a 7 percent rise in auto sales this year to 15.5 million units. At the same time, passenger car sales are seen rising 8.5 percent.
