喺馬來西亞嘅 SUV 市場，好多買家喺揀車嘅時候都會拎 Proton X90 同 Toyota Yaris Cross 做比較。呢兩款車喺價位同定位上都幾接近，今日我哋就從多個方面做一個詳細嘅對比，幫你省做功課嘅時間。
Proton X90 喺馬來西亞嘅 OTR 售價係 RM 106,800 - 122,800，一共有 4 個版本，包括 2026 1.5T Prime X（RM 122,800）、2026 1.5T Prime（RM 116,800）、2026 1.5T Lite（RM 106,800） 等。
Toyota Yaris Cross 喺馬來西亞嘅 OTR 售價係 RM 99,900 - 109,900，一共有 2 個版本，包括 2026 1.5L Standard（RM 99,900）、2026 HEV 1.5L Standard（RM 109,900） 等。
從價錢嚟睇，Toyota Yaris Cross 嘅起步價比 Proton X90 平咗 RM 6,900。老實講，喺呢個價位段，幾千塊嘅差距其實唔算大，關鍵仲係睇整體嘅性價比同長期使用成本。
Proton X90 搭載 1.5L Turbo，馬力 140 hp。官方油耗 7.0 L/100km。
Toyota Yaris Cross 搭載 1.5L 4-cyl，馬力 105 hp。官方油耗 6.0 L/100km。
動力方面，Proton X90 嘅 1.5L Turbo 比 Toyota Yaris Cross 嘅 1.5L 4-cyl 多咗 35 匹馬力，中段加速更有信心，尤其係跑高速公路超車嘅時候。不過 Toyota Yaris Cross 嘅油耗可能更啱用，日常市區通勤差別唔會太大。
Proton X90 車身長 4400 mm，尾箱 400 L。
Toyota Yaris Cross 車身長 4400 mm，尾箱 400 L。
兩款車嘅尺寸幾咁一樣，車內空間差別唔大。呢個級別嘅車，日常使用完全夠用。
Proton X90 同 Toyota Yaris Cross 都係馬來西亞市場嘅主流選擇，適合家庭使用、日常通勤。如果你更睇重品牌口碑同二手價，可以優先考慮口碑更好嗰款；如果你更介意性價比同配備，就揀配置更豐富嗰款。最後始終建議兩款都去試駕，親身體驗先係最重要嘅。
總而言之，Proton X90 同 Toyota Yaris Cross 都係馬來西亞市場幾唔錯嘅車型。揀邊一輛，關鍵仲係睇你嘅個人需求同預算。建議大家做好功課，多比較幾間車行嘅報價，再去試駕做最終決定。買車係件大事，花少少時間做功課絕對唔會錯。
8 月 4 日，德國大陸集團公佈 2026 年第二季度財報。隨著旗下康迪泰克出售交易敲定，大陸集團長達數年嘅大規模戰略重組步入尾聲，正式蛻變為一家“純輪胎製造商”。得益於果斷嘅業務剝離與聚焦，公司輪胎主業交出一份盈利大增嘅亮眼答卷。
利潤大升 35.1%，輪胎板塊成絕對引擎
財報顯示，受 2 月初出售原廠配套解決方案（OESL）業務影響，大陸集團第二季度整體銷售額下跌 9.1% 至 44 億歐元；但剔除資產剝離擾動，內生營收僅微降 0.3%。利潤端表現強勢，集團調整後息前利潤（EBIT）同比大升 35.1% 至 5.70 億歐元，利潤率由上年同期嘅 9.6% 躍升至 12.9%。調整後自由現金流由去年同期嘅 -0.46 億歐元成功轉正，達至 2.16 億歐元。
核心業績嘅飆升得益於輪胎業務嘅強力支撐。第二季度，大陸輪胎業務銷售額達 33 億歐元，調整後 EBIT 利潤率由 12.1% 大幅提升至 15.3%，顯著超出 13.0%–14.5% 嘅全年指引區間。盈利大增主要歸功於 18 英寸及以上大尺寸輪胎銷售佔比提升、原材料價格利好、匯率與關稅負面影響減弱及嚴格成本控制。同時，集團喺全球持續加碼輪胎產能與綠色能源，包括喺美國投資 7600 萬美元建設自動化成品倉、喺泰國注資超 3 億歐元新增 300 萬條年產能，並喺德國自建首座風電場覆蓋廠區用電。
剝離康迪泰克，終結“大而全”模式
同高毛利嘅輪胎業務形成鮮明對比嘅係，工業橡膠板塊康迪泰克受市場復甦慢於預期拖累，第二季度營收下滑 29.5% 至 11 億歐元，利潤率降至 6.9%。早喺 7 月初，大陸已官宣以 40 億歐元（另設最高 2.5 億歐元業績分成）將其出售畀私募機構孤星基金，預計年底前完成交割。此後，康迪泰克將作為終止經營單獨列報。
此次出售係大陸集團完整業務剝離方案嘅最後一步。自 2018 年起，大陸集團先後剝離動力總成（韋湃科技）、分拆汽車子集團（Aumovio 歐摩威上市）、出售 OESL 業務，直至如今整體出售康迪泰克。懸殊嘅盈利差距係持續“斷捨離”嘅核心邏輯：2024 年輪胎板塊利潤率達 13.7%，而汽車子集團僅 2.3%。透過剝離低效資產，大陸集團將獲得約 31 億歐元現金流入，其中約 25 億歐元將用於派發特別股息或股份回購。
大陸集團 CEO 表示，出售康迪泰克開啟咗集團作為純輪胎專業製造商嘅全新階段。未來，大陸將依托全球 19 家輪胎工廠，深耕乘用車高端超高性能輪胎及商用車胎領域。喺全球零部件巨頭集體告別“大而全”模式嘅背景下，大陸集團嘅果斷重組，為謀求由規模走向質量嘅企業提供咗成功範本。

▲ Overview of Tesla's financial information for the second quarter of the past three years
Tesla's Q2 revenue reached $28.236 billion (approximately 191.2 billion yuan), up 26% year-on-year; Automotive business revenue reached $20.516 billion (approximately 138.9 billion yuan), up 23% year-on-year.
But sales and revenue growth did not bring proportional profit improvement. In the second quarter, Tesla's operating profit was only $398 million (approximately 2.7 billion yuan), a 57% year-on-year decrease; the operating profit margin dropped from 4.1% in the same period last year to 1.4%. Automotive gross margin also dropped from 21.1% in the first quarter of this year to 16.9%.
Looking at the entire first half of the year, Tesla's cumulative revenue reached $50.623 billion (approximately 342.7 billion yuan), of which Automotive business revenue was $36.750 billion (approximately 248.8 billion yuan), still contributing over 70% of revenue.
▲ Overview of Tesla's financial information for the first half of the past three years
On the profit front, Tesla's first-half gross profit totaled $9.471 billion (approximately 64.1 billion yuan), with an overall gross margin of about 18.7%. Regarding deliveries, Tesla produced approximately 860,100 vehicles and delivered approximately 838,100 vehicles in the first half of the year.
Overall, the delivery rebound in Q2 pushed Tesla's first-half revenue to a new high for the same period in the past three years, but the operating profit margin still dropped to 2.65%, and the problem of revenue growing without profit did not get resolved.
Compared to profit performance, Tesla's progress in FSD (Supervised), Robotaxi, and Cybercab was more prominent.
As of the end of the second quarter, Tesla FSD paid user numbers reached 1.48 million, a 56% increase from 950,000 in the same period last year, and up 200,000 from the end of the first quarter this year. Tesla CEO Musk said that as FSD receives regulatory approval in various countries, market demand will further surge.
In addition, Tesla has started pushing FSD v14 lite to vehicles equipped with AI3 (HW3) hardware, distilling the driving behavior of the v14 series on AI4 vehicles to the previous generation hardware platform.
Regarding Robotaxi, Tesla's service scope has expanded to multiple cities in the US. Meanwhile, Cybercab has started production at the Texas Gigafactory and has entered the public road engineering testing phase.
While the profit pressure on Tesla's Model 3/Model Y vehicle sales business continues, FSD subscriptions and Robotaxi are gradually becoming new growth sources outside of Tesla's automotive business.
I. Revenue Grows But Profits Don't, Automotive Gross Margin Declines Quarter-on-QuarterVehicle delivery volume recovered, driving Tesla's Q2 revenue to recover growth.
In the second quarter of this year, Tesla's total revenue reached $28.236 billion (approximately 191.16 billion yuan), up 26% year-on-year; Automotive business revenue reached $20.516 billion (approximately 138.89 billion yuan), up 23% year-on-year.
Specifically, Automotive sales revenue was $20.006 billion (approximately 135.4 billion yuan), Car rental revenue was $364 million (approximately 2.5 billion yuan), and Automotive regulatory credit revenue was $146 million (approximately 1 billion yuan).
▲ Detailed quarterly financial information of Tesla
Tesla stated that Q2 revenue growth was mainly driven by increased vehicle deliveries, FSD subscription growth, expansion of services and other businesses, growth in energy business, and a positive exchange rate impact of about $500 million (approximately 3.4 billion yuan).
However, the decline in average selling price of vehicles offset some of the growth.
In the second quarter, Tesla's gross profit was $4.751 billion (approximately 32.2 billion yuan), up 23% year-on-year; the overall gross margin was 16.8%, down 0.4 percentage points from 17.2% in the same period last year, and down 4.3 percentage points from 21.1% in the first quarter this year.
But the decline in average selling price of vehicles, reduction in regulatory credit revenue, and increased investment in AI projects dragged down overall profit performance.
In the second quarter of this year, Tesla's operating profit was $398 million (approximately 2.7 billion yuan), a 57% year-on-year decrease; the operating profit margin dropped from 4.1% in the same period last year to 1.4%, a year-on-year decline of 2.69 percentage points.
However, Tesla's GAAP net profit was also supported by an investment income. In the second quarter, Tesla recognized $1.005 billion (approximately 6.8 billion yuan) in unrealized gains from its SpaceX equity investment, which was included in other income.
Regarding R&D expenses, Tesla's R&D expenses in the second quarter reached $2.371 billion (approximately 16.1 billion yuan), an increase of about 49% year-on-year.
In terms of automotive manufacturing, Tesla stated that battery pack capacity remains the main factor limiting global automotive production growth.
Tesla is increasing 4680 cell production to support Cybercab, Tesla Semi capacity ramp-up, and Model Y production expansion.
▲ Tesla's battery capacity plans for each factory
Currently, Tesla's Texas 4680 cells have installed annual capacity exceeding 40GWh, the Nevada LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery project is in the early capacity ramp-up phase, with expected annual capacity of 7GWh, while the Berlin 4680 cell project is still under construction.
In addition, the Tesla Semi new factory is in the equipment debugging phase, planning to start production in 2026.
II. Q2 Deliveries Hit Record High, Cybercab Production Starts, FSD Users Reach 1.48 MillionIn the second quarter of this year, Tesla produced 451,800 vehicles, up 10% year-on-year; delivered 480,100 vehicles, up 25% year-on-year, setting a new historical high for the same period.
In the first half of 2026, Tesla cumulatively produced approximately 860,100 vehicles and delivered approximately 838,100 vehicles.
▲ Tesla's quarterly delivery situation
Among them, Model 3/Y remain the core sales driver, producing 442,900 vehicles and delivering 467,800 vehicles in the second quarter, up 12% and 25% respectively year-on-year, contributing approximately 97.4% of the delivery volume.
Other models including Cybertruck produced 8,822 units, down 34% year-on-year; delivered 12,400 units, up 19% year-on-year.
With deliveries exceeding production, Tesla's inventory pressure significantly eased, global vehicle inventory turnover days dropped from 27 days in the first quarter to 15 days, lower than 24 days in the same period last year.
Tesla set delivery records in multiple markets including South Korea, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, etc.
Regarding capacity, Shanghai Factory Model 3/Y annual capacity exceeds 950,000 vehicles, still Tesla's largest vehicle production factory; California, Berlin, and Texas factory related model annual capacities exceed 550,000, 375,000, and 250,000 respectively.
Additionally, Cybercab designed specifically for Robotaxi has started production at the Texas Gigafactory, with installed annual capacity exceeding 125,000 vehicles.
▲ Tesla's installed annual capacity and production status for each factory
The mass-produced Cybercab began public road engineering testing in the second quarter, and in July provided ride services for employees at the Texas factory park.
Robotaxi is also accelerating expansion, currently entering 7 major metro areas in the US. Austin continues to expand areas with unsupervised operations, Dallas and Houston are promoting relevant operations, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa launched unsupervised services in July; San Francisco Bay Area still equips safety drivers. Phoenix and Las Vegas are in the pre-launch preparation phase.
▲ Mass-produced Cybercab in testing
FSD has become another growth point. As of the end of the second quarter, Tesla FSD paid users reached 1.48 million, up 56% year-on-year, up 200,000 from the first quarter; increased by approximately 380,000 in the first half of 2026 alone.
In the second quarter, Tesla FSD net new subscription users set a record, over 55% of new vehicles delivered in North America included FSD subscription, and the order rate also reached a historical high. FSD subscription growth has formed a positive contribution to automotive related revenue and operating profit.
Regarding software, Tesla began pushing FSD v14 lite to vehicles equipped with AI3 (previously referred to by Tesla as HW3) hardware in the US, and pushed it to South Korea in July.
This version distills driving behavior of the v14 series on the AI4 platform to the AI3 platform, adds destination options such as parking lots, roadside, lane entrances, and curbs, and improves performance in scenarios such as navigation, merging/diverging, pedestrian interaction, traffic lights, and vehicle cutting in.
FSD's overseas approvals also made new progress, after the Netherlands, Tesla obtained FSD deployment approval in Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, and Belgium.
As of July, users in the above opened markets cumulatively used FSD to drive over 50 million kilometers. Tesla stated that FSD implementation is driving local consumers' interest in its vehicles.
III. Cybercab Has No Legal Barriers, Old Owners Need Hardware Upgrade AssessmentDuring the earnings call, Musk and Tesla management focused on responding to Robotaxi operations, Cybercab regulations, Starlink access, Semi autonomous driving capabilities, and AI3 model hardware upgrades. Carwest organized the following 8 key Q&As:
1. How is the current operation of Robotaxi? How to scale up next?
Tesla AI Head Ashok Elluswamy: Currently, Tesla Robotaxi has cumulatively completed over 380,000 miles (approximately 610,000 km) of unsupervised driving in two US states and six cities, with no safety accidents worth noting. Existing accident reports were all collisions or impacts by other road users when the vehicle was stationary.
Tesla started the Robotaxi project in Austin about a year ago, at that time the passenger seat was still equipped with a safety monitor; at the end of 2025, the first batch of fully unsupervised Robotaxi started operations. Since 2026, the weekly unsupervised driving mileage of the fleet has maintained double-digit quarter-over-quarter growth, expected to continue this pace within the year.
Currently, the Robotaxi fleet has been running early versions of FSD V15. V15 planned about seven major improvement routes, with about 40% of improvement content merged into the version used by the fleet. With subsequent capabilities going live, Tesla hopes the engineering investment and preparation time required to enter new cities will gradually approach zero, finally shifting from city-by-city expansion to state-wide operations.
2. How does Tesla want the US to regulate Robotaxi?
Tesla Automotive Engineering Head Lars Moravy: The US Federal level has made不少 progress, especially Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are gradually accepting vehicles designed specifically for autonomous driving.
Tesla believes reasonable regulation should be for regulatory agencies to propose safety goals and problems to be solved, then allow enterprises to choose technical solutions, rather than specifying beforehand that a certain technical route such as LiDAR or millimeter wave radar must be adopted.
Tesla ultimately still needs to win regulatory agency and public recognition with actual vehicle safety performance, which will also become the basis for Robotaxi to continue expanding.
3. What factors limit Robotaxi expansion? Will it integrate with third-party ride-hailing platforms?
Musk: Tesla expects Robotaxi will not face insufficient demand problems, its operational economics will be very attractive, and market demand may exceed Tesla's service capability for a long time. Therefore, Robotaxi business will continue to adopt a highly vertically integrated model, at this stage there is no need to rely on third-party ride-hailing platforms for customer flow.
What truly limits Robotaxi expansion is system reliability, which is increasing the "9" in reliability indicators. Musk stated that ideally, Robotaxi needs to achieve reliability close to 99.999999%. Continuously improving reliability is the main constraint for current fleet scaling.
4. Could Tesla and SpaceX merge?
Musk: Tesla and SpaceX have increasing business overlap and cooperation in many fields, but company merger is not suitable for discussion on earnings call, if future matters involve similar items, formal decision and approval process must be undergone.
Tesla General Counsel Brandon Ehrhart: In early 2026, Tesla deepened its relationship with SpaceX through equity investment and framework agreement, both parties are cooperating on projects such as Digital Optimus.
5. Why not expand the Austin fleet first?
Ashok Elluswamy: Tesla did not concentrate all vehicles in Austin, mainly to verify the generalization capability of the FSD tech stack, proving the system can adapt to multiple cities with different road environments without massive additional development.
Robotaxi is still in the early stage of exponential growth, the absolute number of vehicles seen by outsiders is not large, but the fleet operates basically continuously, single vehicle driving time is far higher than private cars. Therefore, Tesla focuses more on unsupervised driving mileage, rather than simply focusing on vehicle quantity.
Musk: Cybercab is a brand new model, not having millions of vehicles providing road data like Model 3 and Model Y. Tesla needs to use temporarily added steering wheel, acceleration and braking pedals Cybercab to accumulate mileage, complete calibration for chassis and vehicle dynamics. After relevant data meets requirements, Cybercab quantity in each city will increase significantly.
Additionally, ride-hailing and traffic regulatory requirements vary by city and state in the US. City-by-city expansion also helps Tesla solve software, operations, and local regulatory issues one by one, then expand single market fleet size.
6. What federal regulatory barriers remain for removing steering wheels and pedals from Cybercab?
Lars Moravy: Besides regulatory agencies promoting relevant rule adjustments, Cybercab currently has no other major federal regulatory barriers.
In the past few years, Tesla has explained Cybercab's product planning and technical progress to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and other departments. Although both sides cannot be completely consistent on all issues, communication is smooth, regulatory agencies are pushing to cancel traditional requirements such as vehicles must be equipped with steering wheels and pedals according to autonomous driving technology development.
7. Can Cybercab become a Starlink mobile hotspot? When will Tesla Semi add autonomous driving capabilities?
Musk: Starlink terminal mounted on Cybercab may become ground network relay in the future, providing Wi-Fi service for nearby mobile phones or other devices, but relevant solution has not been officially announced.
Regarding Semi, autonomous driving capabilities can alleviate US truck driver shortage, and improve safety and comfort of long-haul transport. However, Semi currently occupies a low proportion in Tesla fleet, Tesla will prioritize investment of R&D resources in larger models such as Model 3, Model Y, and Cybercab.
It is expected that Semi's autonomous driving capabilities will make substantive progress at the end of 2026 or early 2027, and will be put into use in 2027, catching up with the timing of Semi entering large-scale mass production.
8. Will old cars equipped with AI3 hardware be upgraded to new hardware?
Musk: In the long term, upgrading hardware for vehicles equipped with AI3 or earlier computing platforms, and already adopting camera-based solution, may be economically feasible. But if vehicles need massive structural modifications, upgrading may not be economically viable.
Tesla may not simply upgrade AI3 vehicles to existing AI4, but wait for the next generation computing platform. The company is developing improved AI4, performance has a moderate increase compared to existing AI4, expected to launch production around mid-2027.
AI5 is also expected to enter mass production around mid-2027, and will be applied to Optimus first. Musk also revealed that AI6 chip has entered the design phase, with the goal of becoming a globally leading edge computing chip.
Conclusion: Tesla Aggressively Pursues GrowthOverall, Tesla's first-half automotive sales walked out of the valley, but low pricing and increased R&D investment continue to squeeze profits, delivery growth has not yet translated into stronger profitability.
At the same time, FSD paid users growing rapidly, Cybercab put into production, Robotaxi accelerating city expansion, showing Tesla is shifting growth focus from simply selling cars to software subscriptions and mobility services.
Next, determining the success or failure of this transformation is not only whether FSD capabilities can continue to improve, but more importantly whether Robotaxi can cross the reliability and regulatory thresholds to achieve true large-scale commercial operations.

车轮碾过时间的刻度，从第一辆国产雅阁在广汽本田下线，到第3000万辆整车披着晨光缓缓驶出总装车间，广汽集团走过了近三十载春秋。
这并非一段平坦的直路，有过合资时代的艰难摸索，有过自主创新的破茧阵痛，更有近两年“番禺行动”改革中刀刃向内的取舍与重构。
然而，当数字最终定格在“30000000”，当每一座城市的街头巷尾都亮起属于广汽集团的车灯，那些坎坷便不再只是坎坷，而成了河流中激荡的浪花。三千个“万”字，是用户以陪伴写就的长诗，更是广汽集团以品质向时光许下的诺言。
7月16日，广汽集团将把这份答卷摊开在阳光下，与全球用户共赴一场感恩之约，因为每一辆驶向远方的车，都载着一份沉甸甸的信任，而信任，从来都是双向奔赴的旅程。
刀刃向内 一场不喧哗的自我重塑
改革从来不易，尤其是在行业剧变的洪流里。2024年11月，广汽集团将总部从广州繁华的珠江新城迁至数十公里外的番禺汽车城，启动了为期三年的“番禺行动”。
彼时，汽车行业正身处“产业深度转型、技术快速迭代、管理流程重构、竞争格局调整”四期叠加的历史关口。
面对这场任何一家汽车企业都无法回避的“生存大考”，广汽集团选择将自主品牌的管理模式由战略管控转向经营管控，把组织架构打散、揉碎、再捏合成更敏捷的形态，外界的质疑、内部的阵痛，曾如潮水般涌来。
但广汽集团选择在深水区继续泅渡，冯兴亚将这场改革比作“三年建造一座房子”。2025年重在“夯基垒台、立柱架梁”，完成总部迁址番禺、业务单元重组和全流程再造，构建起研产供销服一体化的流程型组织；打破部门墙，让有为者有位、实干者实惠。
同时，传祺BU、埃安昊铂BU、动力总成BU三大事业部先后组建并独立运营，建立起研发、制造、销售一体化协同的全新机制流程。“我们把办公室搬到离炮火最近的地方，让听到炮声的人呼唤炮火。”
这场“回归一线”的机制性变革，让一线团队拥有更多自主权，极大地缩短了决策链条。
与此同时，广汽集团全面导入DSTE（战略到执行）、IPD（集成产品开发）及IPMS（集成产品营销和销售）等体系重构业务流程。其中，IPD流程将用户需求深度融入产品定义、研发到上市的全生命周期。造车的起点不再是工程师画图纸，而是深入理解并快速响应用户真实需求。
这些看不见的变革，最终幻化为市场端实实在在的暖意。2026年上半年，广汽集团自主品牌以超过35%的增速扛起增长大旗，出口量达12.15万辆，较去年同期翻了一倍有余。
数字或许冰冷，但数字背后，是补能网络覆盖全国213座城市、核心城区实现“一公里必有站”的安心，是千余项测试验证、1300万公里等效里程沉淀下来的品质底气。
所谓改革，无非是把用户的难题变成自己的课题，把用户的抱怨变成前进的路标。
从灯塔工厂到千家万户
服务的触角，在品质的土壤之上悄然生长。
从一线城市到县域乡镇，600家授权门店如蒲公英般落子，看车、保养不再需要长途跋涉；线上“超级管家”以秒级响应织起一张看不见的守护网，让每一个求助都有回音。
安全更是沉默的基石，弹匣电池经历了千亿公里行驶的考验，星灵系统在后台默默拦截了六百万次潜在风险，这些不被看见的努力，恰如桥墩深埋水下，却撑起了每一段稳稳的旅程。
而品质的源头，藏在每一座工厂与每一道工序之中。那座被称作“灯塔”的埃安智能生态工厂，同时获评国家级“零碳工厂”，53秒下线一台车的节奏里，藏着AI视觉检测的鹰眼，藏着对十万种个性化需求的包容，也藏着零碳制造的敬畏。
每一款新车上市前，500名工程师、上千个日夜、1300万公里的等效测试，如打磨艺术品般，把误差缩到最小，把安全放到最大。
这份匠心从合资时代传承至今，在自主创新的土壤里长出了新的年轮，它不喧哗，却最有力，因为品质从来不是一句口号，而是每一次点火、每一次转弯、每一次刹车时，用户手中真实可感的安全感。
如果说这种安全感在国内滋养了3000万份信赖的根基，那么在全球的版图上，这份信赖正在以更快的速度生根发芽。2026年上半年，海外市场已成为广汽集团增长最为强劲的板块。
美洲、亚太、中东、非洲、欧洲五大区域同步实现高速增长，广汽国际化业务已覆盖110个国家和地区，建成746家销售服务网点、6座海外生产工厂与9个海外零部件仓库，从产品贸易迈向体系化出海的深度本地化运营。
在亚太的湿热、中东的酷暑、欧洲的极寒中，中国品质正以“体系化出海”的姿态站稳脚跟，针对不同市场的路况与气候进行本土化调校，让每一辆驶出海外的车都经得起当地用户的检验，让“广汽品质”成为全球统一的标准语言。
巴西市场单月销量暴涨十倍，香港街头每十辆电动车就有一辆挂着广汽集团的标，这些来自远方的认可，与国内用户的口碑汇流成海，共同托举起3000万这个沉甸甸的数字。
每一份市场增长的背后，都是当地用户的认可与选择，共同汇聚成全球3000万用户的信赖版图。
尾声
回望来时路，广汽集团走过的并非坦途。从合资时代的摸索与积淀，到自主创新的破茧与突围；从“番禺行动”刀刃向内的阵痛与重构，到海外拓疆时异国市场的陌生与险阻，每一步都踩在荆棘与砾石之上，每一次转身都伴随着质疑与代价。
那些灯火通明的会议室、迁址番禺后缩短了30%的管理链路、IPD流程中反复推翻又重来的产品定义、千余项测试中无数次失败的实验数据，都是这场漫长跋涉中沉默而真实的注脚。
7月16日的感恩活动，不是终点的庆典，而是出发的号令。广汽集团将3000万份信赖收入行囊，把一路跋涉的艰辛与成长都折叠进后视镜里，然后重新点火、挂挡、松开手刹。
前方是下一个千万里程的旷野，道路或许依然崎岖，但这一次，多了3000万束目光的注视与陪伴。重新开始，不是把过去归零，而是带着所有积淀，向更高的山头，再出发。
