One Sold in Less Than a Minute! Xingyuan Sets the World's Fastest Million Record

In less than a minute on average, a Geely Xingyuan is driven away, and this is real data. Since its launch in October 2024, Xingyuan has sold 1 million units in just 24 months, making it the fastest new energy vehicle globally to reach million-unit sales.

On November 6, the Geely Galaxy Global User Music Carnival and Xingyuan Million Milestone Fan Appreciation Rights Press Conference was held in Hangzhou. Two new STAR Limited Series versions were launched simultaneously, with limited-time rights prices of 88,800 yuan.

A compact car with a starting price of less than 100,000 yuan sold 1 million units. In China's passenger car market, with over 20 million units sold annually, a single model held the top spot across all categories continuously for two sales cycles. Only a few long-lasting models from the fuel era achieved this before. Xingyuan is the first all-electric model to do so.

In 2025, Geely Xingyuan was the sales champion across all categories, including fuel vehicles, with no restrictions on class, energy type, or brand. In the first half of 2026, 249,418 units were sold, a year-on-year increase of 21%, retaining the title of best-selling model in the Chinese market. Single-month sales in August and September continuously broke through 60,000 units, and October exceeded 70,000 units, setting a new single-month record. Ranked ahead of all models for multiple sales cycles, the underlying premise is that the product strength itself is qualified, with safety and quality both achieving configurations levels unmatched at the same price point.

The limited-time rights price of 88,800 yuan corresponds to the STAR Ace and STAR Chill limited versions. STAR Ace offers three colors: Worry-Free Green, Pepsi Orange, and Flowing Silver. STAR Chill uses Creamy Beige color combined with a new interior. An electric front trunk and EVA Robot are unique in their class. The former adds a tidy storage space, while the latter makes voice interaction into a car-side assistant. There is a 3,000 yuan super replacement subsidy for purchasing. For the limited time, enjoy a STAR exclusive gift package valued at 4,099 yuan. 1 million users logging into the Geely Galaxy App can participate in a fan appreciation draw. Prizes include milk tea vouchers, 1 million sales commemorative badges, car-side ecosystem products, and charging discount vouchers.

Around changing aesthetics and mobility scenarios, new versions will continue to be launched after the Limited Series. You can get an electric front trunk and EVA Robot for 88,800 yuan. These two configurations are not common even on higher-level models. The Limited versions focus on personality, and the configuration list has not been cut.

This press conference also featured a field test of a vehicle in service with 220,000 kilometers. Geely Xingyuan partnered with CATARC, locating a user-driven 310km Dream Edition car with 220,000 kilometers. Under eco-mode with air conditioning off and mixed road conditions, the actual range achievement rate was 99.7%. The three-electric systems come standard with CATL cells and a liquid-cooled temperature control system. After 220,000 kilometers, stability remains online. In the Moose test, it achieved 78.1 km/h, surpassing most new cars in the same class. With a rear-wheel drive layout, front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, the chassis has been tuned by Lotus. After long-term high-intensity use, this chassis remains stable and controllable. The Moose test item was common in performance car reviews before. An A0-class compact car achieving 78.1 km/h indicates that the chassis tuning effort was not reduced due to price.

Sales can be built on buzz, but 220,000 kilometers of field test data cannot be fabricated. For long-term usage, this in-service vehicle also underwent Six Major Extreme Serial Tests for the battery. Pack-level battery health, high-temp baking, seawater immersion. Vehicle-level low-temp charge/discharge, bottom impact, double-needle puncture. All passed. After 220,000 kilometers of high-intensity use, battery health is 91.19%. The national standard requirement for 200,000 kilometers is 70%.

Beyond the Shield Battery Safety System, the O-shaped Aluminum Alloy Battery Protection Cavity and Double well-shaped Rear Subframe provide physical protection. The liquid-cooled temperature control system and BMS 3.0 Battery Doctor manage temperature and monitor status. From structure to operation, there are multiple guarantees. A car seeing sales increase in its third year relies on these numbers written into the field test reports.

Results achieved in China are equally valid overseas. Geely Xingyuan has entered more than 30 countries globally, ranking TOP 2 in Chinese New Energy Hatchback Export in the first half of 2026. It took the Electric Vehicle Sales Champion in Thailand, was the No. 1 in A&B Class Pure Electric Sales for two consecutive months in Egypt, maintained second place in all-category Pure Electric for three consecutive months in Mexico, and retained the Hatchback Pure Electric Sales Crown in Australia just two months after launch. This compact car familiar to domestic users is equally common on the streets of Sydney and Bangkok. Compact cars are the earliest category for Chinese car companies going global. Early exports relied on price advantage. Now Xingyuan ranks first in vehicle sales in multiple overseas markets. The quality and reputation of Chinese compact cars have gone out together with this 1 million units.

On the day of the 1 million milestone, a promise enters its third phase. The Xingyuan Public Welfare Project started since launch. Phase 1 was in Daliangshan, Sichuan. Phase 2 was in Qiannan, Guizhou. Geely Xingyuan and owners built basketball and football courts for children together. Phase 3 is at Masan Village, Simeng County, Pu'er, Yunnan. Children from the Little Sparrow Choir want to sing ethnic songs on a larger stage. Geely Xingyuan donated and built a music classroom, inviting them to Hangzhou to perform with Lang Lang. Lang Lang also gave the children a masterclass. Public welfare follows the owners' wishes. This promise has continued for three years. Participation is not just the car company side; owners' voting and on-site support are included.

After the STAR Limited Series, there will be new versions. Fan appreciation rights will be issued again. That Dream Edition with 220,000 kilometers is still being driven by a user. After two years and 1 million units, Xingyuan's most valuable assets are two: the All-Category Champion continuously on the sales chart, and the 220,000 kilometers field test report. The former has people fighting for it every year. The latter requires time and mileage; it cannot be rushed.
