Despite China's 14-month fall in car sales, major Japanese brands are bucking the downturn with increasing sales in the first eight months this year.

China's overall vehicle sales stood at 1.96 million in August, a fall of 6.9 percent from the same period last year, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. And it is the 14th month of sales falls since July 2018.

Total vehicle sales in the country in the first eight months of 2019 totaled 16.1 million, a drop of 11 percent from the same period last year.

However, Japan's Nissan, Toyota and Honda achieved decent sales in China from January to August.

Nissan's sales in China grew for the second straight month in August, up 2 percent from the previous year to 129,659.

According to Nissan, 10,459 of its seventh-generation Altima sedan sold in August, up 12.5 percent year-on-year. And its 14th-generation Sylphy model had total sales of 11,467 last month.

In August, the automaker sold a total of 45,216 sport utility vehicles, increasing 16.5 percent from the year earlier. In the first eight months, sales of Nissans in China edged up 0.2 percent to 956,270.

During the same eight months, Toyota delivered a total of 892,866 vehicles in China, an increase of 7.7 percent on the previous year.
