Chery Group's global cumulative sales have exceeded 20 million units, with the Fulwin A9 delivered as the 20 millionth vehicle. Chery products are sold in over 130 countries and regions, with nearly 7 million overseas users accounting for roughly 35% of its total base. In the first half of 2026, exports reached 943,800 units, up 71.5% year over year, setting new monthly records for four consecutive months.
A Historic Milestone: The Strength Behind 20 Million
Chery Group announced that its global cumulative vehicle sales have officially surpassed the 20 million mark. Behind this figure lies 29 years of commitment to independent R&D. When the industry widely doubted the viability of Chinese self-developed brands in the 1990s, Chery chose an independent technology path and became the first Chinese automaker to master core technologies for the engine, transmission, and chassis.
From crossing the 1 million mark in 2007 to surpassing 2 million, 3 million, and 5 million units, Chery has demonstrated the growth potential of Chinese auto brands through steady progress. Today, Chery's operations span complete vehicles, components, finance, robotics, and intelligent technology, supported by a portfolio of more than 400 technological innovations.
Key drivers of Chery's global success:
- Commitment to independent core technology R&D, reducing external dependency
- Product portfolio spanning both ICE and NEV segments
- Deep localization in overseas markets, building user trust
Global Footprint: 130 Countries and Overseas Foundation
Chery's globalization extends far beyond simple exports. Currently, Chery products are sold in more than 130 countries and regions, with nearly 7 million overseas users accounting for approximately 35% of its total customer base. This means roughly one in three Chery owners comes from outside China.
First-half 2026 data is even more telling: Chery exported 943,800 vehicles, representing a 71.5% year-over-year increase, and set new monthly export records for four consecutive months. This growth rate ranks among the highest among global mainstream automakers.
