Changan Ford Mazda, a tie-up with Chongqing Changan Auto Co and Mazda Motor sold 25,882 cars in April, up from 19,462 cars a year earlier, Changan Auto said in a statement.

China overtook the United States as the world's largest auto market this year and year-on-year sales growth in March rebounded to more than 10 percent as government stimulus measures helped fuel a recovery in demand.

Overall sales of Changan Auto were 117,846 vehicles in April, up 51 percent from a year earlier. January to April sales rose 22 percent to 415,594 units, it added.
