BEIJING Nike Air Max 90 Leather Sverige , Jan. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Vehicle imports grew 7.3 percent to 1.17 million last year, with a strong rebound in the fourth quarter helping make up for a decline in the first half, China Automobile Trading Co Ltd said.

CAT said that in December, dealers' average inventories of imported vehicles fell to 1.36 times monthly sales, from 2.7 times in May.

By segment, sport utility vehicles remained dominant among imports, with 61.9 percent of overall sales. SUV imports rose 24.4 percent last year to 717,000 units.
