Chery was the first to break the traditional path of "domestic model modifications for export", establishing a new development model for "native global vehicles": From the very first day of product definition, it conducts forward development targeting global market user needs. Safety standards, durability verification, usage scenarios, etc., are based on the highest global requirements. No longer making "fast-moving consumer goods", but "durable goods, works of art".

This concept is being translated into solid market performance.

OMODA&JAECOO dual brands launched only three years ago, global cumulative sales broke 1 million vehicles; entered the UK market less than two years ago, cumulative sales immediately broke 100,000, with JAECOO 7, JAECOO 5, OMODA 5 three models entering the UK top 10 best-selling car list.

LEPAS L6 successfully launched in South Africa and Thailand, its domestic homologous model "native global vehicle" Fengyun T7 directly benchmarks 2026 version European 5-star safety standard, just launched in August, 24-hour orders broke 23,188 vehicles, verifying the "one platform, global blooming" R&D path.
