兄弟姐妹們，今日講一個出海嘅大新聞——唔係賣車，係賣「司機」。6 月 2 號，文遠知行同 Uber 聯合宣佈咗一件事：計劃喺西班牙馬德里推出該國首個商業化 Robotaxi 試點服務。意思就係：西班牙人好快就可以用 Uber 叫到一台冇司機嘅出租車。呢次係文遠知行同 Uber 第一次一齊進入歐洲市場。馬德里亦成為文遠知行 Robotaxi 駛入嘅全球第十二個城市。

官方消息話，喺馬德里自治區政府嘅支持下，呢項服務今年內就會正式啟動。到嗰陣，馬德里嘅朋友哋打開 Uber App，就有一鍵呼叫文遠知行嘅 Robotaxi。同叫普通網約車一樣，分別係嚟嘅車冇駕駛員——至少喺初期，仲係有分別嘅。運營初期，車入面會配備經過專業培訓嘅安全員，終究係剛上線，穩妥第一。

文遠知行呢間公司，你可能聽過，也可能冇聽過。簡單介紹下：2017 年成立，一直埋頭搞 Robotaxi 技術研發同商業化。而家佢嘅 Robotaxi 已經覆蓋咗廣州、北京、新加坡、阿布達比、迪拜、利雅得、蘇黎世……加埋而家嘅馬德里，一共 12 個城市。西班牙亦係文遠知行進入嘅第五個歐洲市場——之前已經入咗瑞士、法國、比利時、斯洛伐克。按照文遠知行同 Uber 喺 2025 年 5 月達成嘅規劃，佢哋要喺五年內新增 15 個國際城市部署 Robotaxi 服務，全球部署數萬輛 Robotaxi。隨著馬德里落地，目前已經完成咗 4 個城市嘅佈局，仲有 11 個會喺 2030 年前陸續覆蓋。

講真嘅，中國自動駕駛公司出海唔係頭一回，但中國技術 + 全球出行平台 + 歐洲市場呢個組合，定係好有意思。馬德里係歐洲最具商業潛力嘅 Robotaxi 市場之一，人口多、出行需求大，當地政策都好友善。喺呢個市場站穩腳根，對文遠知行嚟講係個唔小嘅里程碑。對 Uber 嚟講，引進 Robotaxi 都係為咗降低成本——終究司機唔使發人工。對馬德里市民嚟講，以後打車可能更平。

6 月 9 日深圳坪山總部，比亞迪召開咗 2025 年度股東大會，近千名股東同股東代表到場參會，創下公司歷屆股東會現場參會人數新高。會上，比亞迪董事長王傳福等高管團隊，針對銷量、產能、智能化進展、海外佈局以及股價爭議等多個問題，進一步回應咗股東關注。

1、關於銷量波動

當中，針對今年第一季因新能源購置稅政策調整導致嘅銷量週期性波動，王傳福表示：「最壞嘅時刻已經過去咗。」

作為一家只專做新能源車，唔做燃油車嘅中國汽車企業，數據顯示，今年第一季，比亞迪總銷量約為 70 萬輛，同比下滑 30.01%。受銷量下滑影響，比亞迪第一季營收同淨利潤亦都有所下滑，當中歸母淨利潤同比下降咗 55.38%。

留神，儘管政策調整帶來咗較大嘅衝擊，但今年第一季嘅總體下滑並非係比亞迪內生動力不足，更加係嚟自外部環境嘅影響。而隨著新能源滲透率嘅逐步提升，以及第二代刀片電池同閃充技術嘅逐步切換，比亞迪已經逐漸回歸到正向增長嘅狀態。

今年 3 月份，比亞迪發佈咗第二代刀片電池同閃充技術。作為比亞迪收官電動化上半場嘅重磅技術，兩項技術直指電動車用戶最核心嘅補能焦慮，發佈後迅速收獲國內外市場嘅肯定，訂單隨之激增。經過 3、4 月份嘅積極調整，5 月份，比亞迪嘅銷量已經回歸正增長。

2、關於第二代刀片電池產能提升

當然，目前第二代刀片電池仲面臨住產能瓶頸嘅挑戰，由於第二代刀片電池嘅生產線內部結構同第一代差異巨大，需要對原有生產線進行改造同升級，產能爬坡需要一定週期。針對目前第二代刀片電池嘅「供不應求」，王傳福亦喺此次股東大會上正面回應，目前第二代刀片電池產能正逐月爬升，每月有 2 萬至 3 萬輛嘅增量。

「今年比亞迪能賣幾多車，唔視乎訂單，而視乎電池產量。」王傳福表示，更大嘅產能釋放將喺 2027 年，屆時國內國際兩個市場將同時發力。

3、關於海外市场增長

尤其係值得關注嘅係，喺比亞迪今年嘅銷量結構中，作為第二增長曲線，比亞迪海外市场嘅增長動力正喺逐步兌現。2025 年，比亞迪累計海外銷量超過咗百萬輛。今年 1-5 月，比亞迪乘用車以及皮卡嘅海外銷量已經達到 61.45 萬輛，海外銷量不斷創下新記錄。

基於呢一勢頭，王傳福亦明確表示，今年，比亞迪有望超額完成 160 萬輛嘅海外銷量目標。而對於海外市场嘅發展，王傳福亦明確強調，比亞迪嘅出口唔單止要追求增長，更要堅持本地化嘅原則，保持長期穩定，同當地雙贏。

王傳福仲喺股東大會上一一梳理咗全球產能版圖：南美以巴西為主要生產基地；歐洲匈牙利工廠 2026 年已經進入投產期；東南亞泰國工廠已投產，印尼工廠即將量產。中東市場需求強勁，澳洲市場穩定增長。比亞迪計劃喺 2026 年第四季度喺海外全面佈局閃充站，並喺各核心市場完成智駕研發同技術佈局。

4、關於智能化下半場佈局

支撐比亞迪國內、海外全面開花嘅，最核心嘅關鍵詞都係「技術」。

繼今年 3 月份發佈咗第二代刀片電池同閃充技術之後，5 月份，比亞迪仲召開咗智能化戰略發布會，正式提出以零交通事故、超級司機以及超級秘書為智能化下半場嘅三大目標，開啟咗全民城市領航時代，並發佈咗中國首款 4nm 智駕晶片璇玑 A3、L3/L4 技術，迪迪蝦智能體等多項重磅科技。

發布會上，王傳福宣布，比亞迪將持續投入超 1000 億元研發資金，來解決交通安全問題。而喺此次股東大會上，王傳福判斷，按照當前 AI 技術發展速度，L3、L4 自動駕駛一定會提前落地。針對 L3 嘅落地關切，王傳福亦回應道，比亞迪已經喺晶片、算力、數據、生態各個維度做好咗充足準備，一旦法規落地，比亞迪將快速騰飛。

5、關於品牌高端化嘅挑戰

比亞迪嘅品牌高端化一直以來都係外界最為關心嘅話題之一。喺此次股東大會上，關於股東關注嘅高端化轉型，王傳福嘅回應亦都幾直白。

佢認為，汽車係涉及生命安全嘅交通工具，唔能只靠「花花綠綠嘅流量」，高端化嘅競爭最終要回到技術同產品嘅本源，建立用戶信任。為此，佢提出咗「三不原則」：絕不拉踩友商、絕不抱怨外部環境、絕唔為短期利益犧牲技術投入。

王傳福亦透露道，明後年比亞迪會推出一批更驚艷嘅新技術，來贏得中高端市場嘅口碑。目前，比亞迪嘅高端化喺海外市場已經取得咗相應進展。

6、關於原材料成本上漲

由於原材料成本上漲，近段時間以來，國內車市已有好多車企紛紛調高咗終端售價，比亞迪亦都係其中之一。針對本輪漲價，比亞迪董秘李黔給出比亞迪嘅四大應對策略：

倚靠技術創新持續創造成本優勢；

加快產品結構高端化，以更高每車盈利稀釋材料成本；

推進海外市场擴張，海外每車盈利顯著優於國內；

倚靠規模優勢持續走量，攤薄固定成本。

7、關於股價被低估

股價同估值嘅爭議始終困擾住比亞迪。2025 年財報顯示，比亞迪營收超 8000 億元、歸母淨利潤 326 億元，新能源汽車毛利率 28.8%遠超特斯拉同期嘅 17.8%，但市盈率長期低於行業平均水準，港股市值僅約為特斯拉嘅 1/14。

面對「高銷量、低估值」嘅質疑，王傳福表示，「比亞迪嘅潛力大家都好認同，但而家股價仲未能夠反映出來」，對此，王傳福都希望股東保持耐心、做價值投資。

8、關於未來五年嘅目標

印象入面，比亞迪好少喺公開場合談及銷量目標，但喺此次股東大會上，王傳福做出咗堅定而清晰嘅承諾：「五年以後，比亞迪喺規模上，能夠做到真正嘅全球第一。」對於具體嘅銷量目標，王傳福表示，2030 年比亞迪將力爭實現年產銷量 1000 萬輛。

為咗實現呢一目標，國內以及海外市场嘅雙輪驅動，第二代刀片電池同閃充技術，以及明後年推出嘅更多驚艷技術，海外工廠產能嘅爬升，高端化嘅逐步突破，都將係比亞迪衝擊呢一長期目標嘅信心來源。

In May, China's automotive market overall presented a gentle recovery trend, with domestic brands still being the sales backbone of the market. Recently, BYD, Geely, Chery, Changan, and Great Wall, the top 5 domestic automakers, successively released their monthly performance reports. From the data, these five companies show a general characteristic of "stable total growth, divergence between domestic and international markets, and accelerated new energy penetration". Overseas exports and new energy vehicles have become the most core growth engines; export business has evolved from a "bonus item" to the "core foundation" for some companies. BYD's "dominant leader" status is further consolidated, Chery achieved high growth via exports, Geely's new energy penetration rate broke 56%, Changan focused steadily on balanced development, while Great Wall appeared slightly under pressure during structural transformation.

BYD: Export Hits New High Becomes Biggest Highlight

In May, BYD stood firmly at the top of domestic brands with a monthly sales volume of 383,500 vehicles, maintaining positive growth both year-on-year and month-over-month under a large base. Its two main brands, Dynasty and Ocean, sold a combined 330,200 vehicles, contributing 86.1% of total sales; Fangchengbao's monthly sales broke 30,000 units to reach 30,200, a year-on-year increase of 139.7%, setting a new high for the year; Denza sold 16,300 vehicles, and Yangwang delivered 286 vehicles. From a model perspective, BYD had eight models in May with monthly sales exceeding 20,000 vehicles. The Song Family and Yuan Family both broke 50,000 units, selling 51,370 and 56,691 vehicles respectively. The Sea Lion Family followed closely with 42,615 vehicles, and Seagull sales were also close to 40,000 vehicles.

BYD's biggest highlight in May was exports. Overseas new energy vehicle sales reached 160,600 units, an 80.4% year-on-year increase, accounting for about 42%. The sharp expansion of export scale effectively countered the phased weakness in domestic demand. Cumulative exports from January to May exceeded 620,000 vehicles. High export growth mainly benefited from continued ramping up of overseas factory capacity, improved ocean shipping capacity, and accelerated channel network expansion. In the domestic market, BYD promoted Megawatt Super Charging and intelligent strategies simultaneously—Megawatt charging achieved about 90% charge in 9 minutes; 20,000 super charging stations are planned to be built by 2026; all series models are available with Sky Eye B intelligent driving solutions and city navigation safety fallback plans, accelerating the popularization of high-level intelligent driving. As Gen 2 Blade Battery capacity gradually releases, the company's orders are expected to continue rising.

Chery: Sales Growth Leads the Top 5

Chery Group's total sales volume in May was 247,800 vehicles, a significant year-on-year increase of 20.5%, ranking first in growth speed among the top 5. Exports remained its most core growth engine—May exports reached 181,900 vehicles, an 80.5% year-on-year increase, accounting for 73.4% of total sales that month, continuously breaking the single-month export record for Chinese brands for three months. In terms of new energy, Chery New Energy sold 100,300 vehicles, a 58.8% year-on-year increase. April and May consecutively saw monthly new energy sales breaking 100,000 vehicles.

The strong performance in exports benefited from Chery's long-term deep cultivation of overseas channel advantages and localized operation capabilities. While overseas orders continued to rise, high export growth formed a sharp contrast with domestic sales—Chery's domestic sales in May were only 60,000 vehicles, accounting for one-quarter of total sales. From cumulative data, Chery Group accumulated 1.101 million sales from January to May, but against the annual goal of 3.2 million vehicles, monthly averages need to reach about 420,000 vehicles later, and pressure remains significant.

Geely: New Energy Penetration Rate Breaks 56%

Geely Auto's total sales volume in May was 237,600 vehicles, a 1% year-on-year increase, achieving month-over-month double growth for three consecutive months. In terms of structure, Geely's "New Four Transformations" transformation showed significant results: new energy vehicle sales reached 133,400 units, accounting for 56% of total sales, with new energy share exceeding 50% for four consecutive months.

From sub-brands, performance was significantly divergent. Zeekr brand sales in May reached 34,400 vehicles, a 82% year-on-year increase; Zeekr 9 Series and 8 Series models combined sales approached 50% of total sales, showing bright performance in the high-end market; Galaxy brand sales were 81,700 vehicles; Geely brand sales were 182,500 vehicles, among which China Star Series sales reached 100,800 vehicles; Lynk & Co brand sales were 20,700 vehicles, with new energy vehicle sales share rising to 71%.

In terms of exports, Geely's overseas vehicle exports in May reached 85,100 vehicles, a explosive 184% year-on-year increase, setting a brand single-month export record high. Among exported products, new energy vehicles reached 40,800 units, accounting for nearly half; hybrid and pure electric products have successively landed in Southeast Asia, Middle East, Latin America, and other markets, highlighting the results of global strategy implementation.

Changan: Multi-brand Matrix Balanced Effort

Changan Auto's delivery volume in May was 209,100 vehicles, among which new energy deliveries were 92,400 vehicles, a 5.8% year-on-year increase, with new energy share about 44%. In terms of exports, overseas deliveries reached 70,700 vehicles, a 38% year-on-year increase, becoming another major growth highlight for Changan in May.

In the sub-brand matrix, Changan Qiyuan delivered 34,500 vehicles in May; All-New Q05 delivered 15,800 units, with orders breaking 3,000 units within three days of listing in Thailand; Deepal sales in May were 33,200 vehicles, a 30% year-on-year increase; January to May overseas cumulative sales were 28,700 vehicles, a significant 167% year-on-year increase; Avatr delivered 7,336 vehicles in May; Changan Auto (Gravity) delivered nearly 49,000 vehicles in May.

Changan Auto's balanced layout was fully reflected in May: the fuel car base remained stable, new energy brands Deepal and Qiyuan accelerated volume growth, high-end brand Avatr continued to break through in technical cooperation, and overseas markets simultaneously achieved breakthrough growth. The pattern of five brands working together, driven by both new energy and exports, is initially taking shape.

Great Wall: Overseas Sales Growth Year-on-Year 46.75%

Great Wall Motor's sales in May were 100,400 vehicles, slightly down compared to last May's 102,200 vehicles, making it the only company among the top 5 to show a year-on-year negative growth. From sub-brands, Haval brand sales in May were 55,500 vehicles, remaining Great Wall's most important sales pillar; Tank brand sales were 17,100 vehicles; both Haval and Tank brand sales showed year-on-year declines; Wey brand sold 8,119 vehicles, a 31.78% year-on-year increase, achieving growth against the trend; Ora brand performance was most stunning, with sales of 6,018 vehicles, a significant 206.88% year-on-year increase. In terms of new energy, Great Wall sold 30,400 new energy vehicles in May, with new energy vehicle transformation gradually accelerating.

The overseas market became Great Wall's biggest highlight in May, with overseas sales growing 46.75% year-on-year. Against the background of pressure on the domestic market, strong growth in overseas business effectively made up for the decline in the domestic market. Great Wall Motor's current core contradiction lies in: Haval and Tank, the two traditional main-selling brands, face weak growth, while Wey and Ora brands, although growing notably, have relatively small volume and are not yet enough to support overall growth. How to complete the "relay" between old and new brands is the key issue Great Wall must solve subsequently.

Final Thoughts

From May data, the growth pattern of the top 5 domestic brands has clearly diverged, but there are three common trends worth noting: First, exports have become a key engine for domestic brands to seek stability and growth. Second, new energy transformation is still accelerating, but paths differ among enterprises. Third, technological innovation continues to deepen brand moats. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, competition in the automotive industry will continue to upgrade around these three trends. Although everyone has a common direction, these three trends are all competing for the entire enterprise's industrial chain strength, and the strong will remain strong, which has almost become an inevitable outcome.

Folks, today let's talk about big news on going global—not selling cars, but selling "drivers". On June 2, WeRide and Uber jointly announced a plan: to launch the country's first commercial Robotaxi pilot service in Madrid, Spain. In other words: Spanish residents will soon be able to hail a driverless taxi via Uber. This is the first time WeRide and Uber are partnering to enter the European market. Madrid also becomes the 12th city globally where WeRide's Robotaxi arrives.

According to official news, with the support of the Madrid regional government, this service will officially launch within this year. At that time, friends in Madrid can open the Uber App and call WeRide's Robotaxi with one click. It's just like calling an ordinary ride-hailing service, the difference is the arriving car has no driver—at least initially, there is still a difference. In the initial operation phase, a professionally trained safety monitor will be on board, as it's just launched, safety comes first.

This company, WeRide, you might have heard of it, or you might not. A brief introduction: Established in 2017, it has been dedicated to Robotaxi technology R&D and commercialization. Currently, its Robotaxis cover Guangzhou, Beijing, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, Zurich... plus Madrid now, totaling 12 cities. Spain is also the 5th European market WeRide has entered—previously entered Switzerland, France, Belgium, Slovakia. According to the plan agreed by WeRide and Uber in May 2025, they plan to deploy Robotaxi services in 15 new international cities within five years, deploying tens of thousands of Robotaxis globally. With the Madrid launch, the deployment in 4 cities has been completed, and 11 more will be covered successively before 2030.

To be honest, it's not the first time Chinese autonomous driving companies are going global, but the combination of Chinese technology + global mobility platform + European market is quite interesting. Madrid is one of the European Robotaxi markets with the most commercial potential, with a large population, high travel demand, and friendly local policies. Being able to take root in this market is a significant milestone for WeRide. For Uber, introducing Robotaxis is also a way to reduce costs—after all, drivers don't need salaries. For Madrid residents, hailing a taxi might be cheaper in the future.

唔知有幾多朋友最近期關注 10 萬內純電 SUV 市場？近段時間睇嚟，呢個細分市場好熱鬧。就講長安啟源全新 Q05 同零跑 A10，上個月銷量分別達 15814 輛同 14372 輛，全部挺進 2026 年 4 月銷量排行全品類前 10，長安啟源全新 Q05 甚至奪得緊緊湊型純電 SUV 市場嘅銷冠。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

值得留意係，兩款大熱門產品亮點亦唔少，9 萬級可以得到 500km+嘅續航，零跑 A10 甚至配備激光雷達，有高級智駕輔助需求嘅朋友嚟講，呢架車吸引力的確唔低。但係喺價格上，同為高配嘅長安啟源全新 Q05 506Max+ 同零跑 A10 505 激光雷達版，終端價格分別係 9.59 萬同 8.68 萬，手握 9 萬左右預算嘅朋友都可以考慮。明顯係，又去到決賽圈二揀一環節。

（零跑 A10）

如果對預算比較敏感，咁喺長安啟源全新 Q05 同零跑 A10 之間，後者可能更受歡迎，畢竟終端價格實打實平咗幾千元。而且，高配 A10 配有激光雷達，市區/高速情況均能啟動領航輔助駕駛，呢個就係佢嘅優勢所在。當然，如果預算允許，揀長安啟源全新 Q05 高配，都有帶激光雷達嘅高級輔助駕駛。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

但既然係買車前嘅橫評，唔少全方位對比。首先從尺寸睇，作為緊湊型 SUV，長安啟源全新 Q05 長寬高分別係 4435*1855*1595mm，軸距為 2735mm。而零跑 A10 車型級別就係小型 SUV，長寬高分別係 4270*1810*1635mm，軸距為 2605mm。

（零跑 A10）

如果只係考慮代步、通勤，零跑 A10 嘅細個嘅略有優勢，方便行街串巷。但實際上，好多人買車都要兼顧家用，10 萬內預算也多以剛需用車群體為主。既然係剛需，且有家用需求，嗰空間自然唔好掉鏈子。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

講返日常家庭出行嚟講，兩車之間 130mm 軸距差異，直接反映喺後排體驗。坐入長安啟源全新 Q05 後排，腿部空間平整兼寬敞，一齊坐 3 位成年人都唔會太擠；但係坐入零跑 A10 後排，無論坐寬定係腿部空間都會細少少。媽咪喺後排照顧孩子，長安啟源全新 Q05 後排更加寬敞嘅空間會更加方便佢操作，孩子都能有更大嘅活動空間。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

除咗空間，通勤黨同家庭用戶對舒適配置都比較關注。睇嚟對比，兩車都有配電動尾門、無匙進入、自適應遠近光等外部配置。但係從車廂內睇，零跑 A10 副駕無法電動調節，後排靠背都唔支援角度調節，同埋缺少後排空調出風口、車內 PM2.5 過濾裝置等。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

反觀長安啟源全新 Q05，除咗副駕支持電動調節，前排仲集成咗加熱/通風/按摩/副駕腿托功能，對比零跑 A10 只提供前排座椅加熱，佢嘅品質無疑更上一層樓。包括後排乘員都有少少照顧，例如靠背角度可調、配有後排空調出風口、後排中央扶手/杯架等，更加適合家人同行呢類場景。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

除咗舒享體驗，行駛系統嘅對比我哋都唔好忽略。首先從大家關注嘅續航睇，長安啟源全新 Q05 同零跑 A10 分別搭載 51.9kWh、53kWh 電池，CLTC 純電續航做到 506km、505km，差異大可忽略。但從電芯供應鏈睇，前者出自寧德時代，後者就係國軒高科/江蘇正力，若論品牌含金量，“寧王”順位自然靠前，更值得信賴。另外，兩車都有全球品質，按照全球嚴苛嘅標準打造，零跑 A10 符合國內、歐盟雙標準，長安啟源全新 Q05 已經喺泰國上市，未來仲會相繼落地多個國家地區，最終開拓歐洲區域，此外仲有央企背書，質量品質都好可靠。

因為本文討論嘅係 A10 嘅 505 版本，採用電池液冷技術，溫控較好，而如果係 403 版本，採用成本低嘅風冷技術，散熱效果較差。呢點上，全新 Q05 做得更好，入門就採用電池直冷技術，高配用嘅係液冷技術，能更好地實現熱管理，保證電池安全。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

動力方面，長安啟源全新 Q05 同零跑 A10 都係前置單電機佈局，電機最大動力輸出分別係 120kW/190N·m、90kW/150N·m，0-100km/h 加速時間分別做到 8.9 秒同 10.6 秒。坦率嚟講，兩款車喺純電陣營加速性能都中規中矩；但係相對嚟講，長安啟源全新 Q05 嘅 8 秒級零百加速，喺山路行駛、高速超車等情況下會比零跑 A10 更加分。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

總結嚟講，零跑 A10 505 激光雷達版優勢突出：價格更低、智駕輔助覆蓋範圍更廣，適合預算優先 + 科技嘗鮮嘅消費者。而長安啟源全新 Q05 更強調“全面”二字：加少少預算同樣可以獲得高級輔助駕駛，而且尺寸更大、舒適配置更高、採用頭部電芯供應鏈，動力亦更強，綜合表現更全能。總括嚟講，預算 9 萬級追求面面俱到嘅家用體驗，長安啟源全新 Q05 506Max+ 更加值得考慮。

On June 1, Great Wall Motor released sales data for May 2026. New car sales for the month were 100,399 units, a slight decrease of 1.79% compared to the same period last year. However, looking at the cumulative performance from January to May, total sales reached 475,815 units, a 3.64% year-over-year increase. The cumulative growth rate has turned positive, and the core business remains solid.

The domestic passenger car market overall faced pressure in May, with only a few top domestic brands achieving month-over-month growth. In this environment, Great Wall maintaining the monthly sales threshold of 100,000 units was not easy in itself. More noteworthy is that behind this report card lie two entirely different growth curves—the rapid progress of the overseas market and the uneven performance among its sub-brands.

01 Overseas "Half Sky": Export Sales Surpass Domestic for the First Time

The most milestone change in May sales comes from the overseas business. Data shows Great Wall Motor's export volume reached 50,688 units that month, a sharp 46.75% year-over-year increase. The proportion in total sales broke through 50% at 50.49%. In other words, for every two cars sold by Great Wall, one is driven away by overseas consumers. This marks the first time Great Wall Motor's export share exceeds domestic sales, signifying its globalization strategy has officially upgraded from an "added bonus" to "half the market".

Looking at the entire domestic brand camp, exports are becoming the common growth pole for all top automakers. In May, Chery's export share was as high as 73.39%, while BYD reached 41.89%. Great Wall entered the first tier of exports with a share exceeding 50%. According to the 2026 overseas sales target of 600,000 units set at the beginning of the year, 231,300 units were completed in the first five months, the progress bar pulled to about 38.6%. Considering the second half of the year is usually the peak season for overseas delivery, the pressure to complete the annual target is not great, and there might even be a possibility to increase it.

From the perspective of regional layout, Great Wall's overseas strongholds are concentrated in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The Thailand factory has achieved localized production and radiates to surrounding areas. The recognition of models such as Tank and Pickup in the Middle East market continues to rise. From "Product Going Global" to "Ecosystem Going Global", Great Wall's globalization story is moving from quantitative change to qualitative change.

02 Brand Differentiation: WEY and ORA Surge, Haval and Tank Under Pressure

Beneath the total volume of 100,000 units in May, the performance divergence among the five major brands is significant.

WEY sold 8,119 units that month, a 31.78% year-over-year increase. As the high-end representative of Great Wall, WEY gradually opened the high-end market with configuration upgrades on models such as Gaoshan and Lanshan (such as Coffee AI Sound audio, new smart cockpit). ORA even welcomed a highlight moment. May sales were 6,018 units, skyrocketing 206.88% year-over-year. Although the base last year was low, such double-digit growth still indicates that ORA's brand recognition in the pure electric compact car market is accelerating its return.

GWM Pickup continues to play the role of a "stabilizer", selling 13,628 units in May. The Great Wall Cannon series continues to lead the sub-market.

At the other end of the growth spectrum, the two pillar brands Haval and Tank are both under pressure. Haval sold 55,478 units in May, a 3.84% decline year-over-year. Although the volume is still the largest, this downward signal is worth being alert - the compact and mid-size SUV market is experiencing a fierce impact from new energy competitors. Tank brand sold 17,067 units in May, a significant 18.34% drop year-over-year. The demand for the hard-core off-road market has obvious cyclical characteristics. After the explosive growth in the early stage, it has entered a rational correction interval, which belongs to normal fluctuations, but it also reminds Tank to accelerate product iteration and new energy steps.

In addition, Great Wall Motor has previously clearly stated that in 2026 it will focus on terminal channel upgrades, product matrix enrichment, and brand awareness enhancement. From the brand performance in May, the implementation of this strategy has become imperative.

03 New Energy and New Car Rhythm: Accumulating Power for Launch

On the new energy track, Great Wall Motor sold 30,447 new energy vehicles in May. Horizontal comparison with peers—BYD's single-month new energy has exceeded 350,000 units, Geely broke through 130,000 units, and Chery also passed the 100,000 unit threshold—Great Wall still has considerable catching-up space in the new energy segment. ORA's high growth is gratifying, but the absolute volume is relatively small, and its structural contribution to the entire group is limited.

On the product front, May was exactly the intensive landing period for multiple heavy new cars from Great Wall. WEY flagship six-seat SUV "V9X" went on sale on May 18. Relying on the positioning of the first mass-produced model of the Guiyuan S platform, dual VLA large model AI agents, and hard-core configurations such as standard rear-wheel steering + dual-chamber air suspension for the entire series, it bears the task of breaking through the brand upward. Haval Mongoose PLUS went on sale on May 15. With "5-seater + 7-seater" dual layout, Hi4 electric four-wheel drive, and up to 255km CLTC pure electric range, it focuses on the 160,000-200,000 yuan boxy SUV market. These new cars take time from listing to batch delivery. May data has not fully reflected their contribution. True volume increase may have to wait until the second half of the year.

04 Financials and Strategy: Short-term Pain, Long-term Layout

Beyond sales, Great Wall Motor's Q1 2026 financial data also reflects the pain of the transformation period. Q1 revenue grew year-over-year, but net profit attributable to the parent company was only 945 million yuan, a significant 46.01% drop year-over-year. The company explained that the decline in net profit was mainly affected by exchange rate fluctuations brought by last year's same period exchange gains, which is a non-recurring factor.

More importantly, the long-term layout at the strategic level. In January this year, Great Wall officially released the Guiyuan Vehicle Platform. This platform is compatible with five power forms: fuel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, pure electric, and hydrogen fuel cell. The parts universality rate is as high as 80%. The unification of this underlying capability will provide systematic advantages for subsequent model cost control and product iteration, which is the core chip for Great Wall to cope with competition in the next five years.

From an industry perspective, the Chinese auto market in May 2026 has clearly presented a structural characteristic of "weak domestic demand, strong exports". Great Wall Motor proved itself occupying a favorable position in this wave of going global with an export share exceeding 50%. In the second half of the year, with the continuous volume increase of overseas markets, the delivery ramp-up of domestic new cars, and the further effort of new energy products, whether Great Wall can achieve a double breakthrough in total volume and structure is worth continued attention.

May's 100,000 unit sales volume is a passing paper, but also a differentiated test paper. Overseas market surpassed domestic for the first time, writing new coordinates in Great Wall's globalization process; WEY and ORA's high growth provided imaginative space for brand upward; Haval and Tank's decline sent a clear signal that competition upgrades must be accelerated.

"If you don't go global, you're out" is becoming a true portrayal of the 2026 Chinese auto market. Great Wall gave its own answer with an export share exceeding half. The highlights to watch next are clear: Whether overseas volume can maintain high growth, whether new energy products can break the "low base" label, and whether the new cars launched intensively in May can rapidly ramp up volume at the terminal. The 2026 elimination round continues, and Great Wall has already prepared an extra moat for itself.

Milestone Moment

May 28, 2026, Shanghai.

A brand new IM LS9 Hyper slowly drove off the production line. SAIC Motor Group officially completed a historic leap belonging to China's automotive industry — cumulative production and sales broke through 100 million vehicles.

From the successful trial of the first Phoenix sedan in 1958 to the delivery of the 100 millionth vehicle in 2026, spanning 68 years.

This is the first "100-million-vehicle enterprise" in the history of China's automotive industry. The Chinese automotive industry turns a new page from here.

This "100 million" is not a simple accumulation of numbers, but a condensed footnote to the industrialization process of an ancient civilization. According to CPCA data, for every 3 vehicles sold globally, 1 comes from China. Behind these 100 million vehicles lies the complete narrative of China's manufacturing industry enduring hardship and striving for strength for 68 years.

Seventy Years of Storms: From "Phoenix" to "100 Million"

1958, Shanghai.

In an era of scarce resources, Chinese engineers built the first sedan — the Phoenix Brand — by hammering it by hand. Performance indicators were unimaginable, and craftsmanship precision was even rougher, but it was the first step taken by the Chinese people in the automotive field.

For the next 20-plus years, sedans remained an unreachable dream for ordinary Chinese people.

In 1983, the situation changed. SAIC Motor Group and Volkswagen Group established a joint venture. The three words "Santana" were written into the well-known dictionary of Chinese families from then on. In 1983, the first domestically assembled Santana was successfully completed, marking the start of China's automotive "trading market for technology" era.

The 40-year joint venture road planted three seeds for the Chinese automotive industry: a relatively complete supply chain system, a batch of management talent who understand automotive manufacturing, and a generation of Chinese engineers who have seen "Made in Germany". This was the foundation soil for later domestic brands to rise.

In 2009, China's automotive production and sales exceeded the United States for the first time, reaching number one globally. The Chinese car market completed its role transition from "chaser" to "incremental contributor" in the global landscape.

In 2015, SAIC launched the world's first mass-produced internet car, Roewe RX5. The industry pattern changed again — the era of "software-defined vehicles" arrived, and Chinese car companies stood at the forefront of global technology for the first time.

In 2026, SAIC's cumulative production and sales broke 100 million vehicles. In 68 years, the Chinese automotive industry completed the feat of going from 0 to 100 million.

"100 Million" Behind the System Capability

The value of SAIC's 100 million vehicles far exceeds the numbers themselves.

Behind the production and sales scale is a product matrix covering all categories.

From 100,000-level mass market consumption to 400,000-level-plus luxury markets, SAIC covers multiple brands under its banner:

100,000-level: Wuling Starlight L (Plug-in Hybrid)

150,000-level: Roewe D7 DMH (Plug-in Hybrid Energy Consumption 3.9L/100km)

200,000-level: MG Cyberster (All-electric sports car)

300,000-level: IM LS6

400,000-level: IM L7 (Benchmarking BBA executive class)

Overseas Market: MG ranked 1st in European sales for Chinese brands for 11 consecutive years

Full price range coverage, multi-brand synergy, SAIC-GM-Wuling's user mindset of "Build what the people need" together formed the foundation of 100 million vehicles.

Behind the scale is the technical support of independent R&D.

From January to April, SAIC's independent brand sales reached 910,000 units, up 6.9% year-on-year, accounting for 69.9% of the group's total sales. This means the label of "joint venture dependency" is being torn off.

SAIC Motor Group has cumulatively invested over 150 billion yuan in new energy and intelligentization fields in the past decade, possessing nearly 26,000 valid patents. This is the hardcore support for 100 million vehicles.

Behind the scale is the market depth of a global layout.

From January to April, SAIC's overseas market cumulative sales reached 459,000 units, up 50.2% year-on-year. The MG brand has ranked 1st in European sales for Chinese brands for 11 consecutive years, selling 120,000 units in the European market from January to April, up 22% year-on-year. Overseas cumulative deliveries exceeded 7 million units, building 3 major R&D centers such as London and 4 production bases such as Thailand and Indonesia.

From "Made in China" to "Sold Globally", SAIC's 100 million vehicles is a truly global achievement.

Coordinates of China's Automotive Industry Seen from 100 Million

SAIC's 100 million vehicles is an observation window for the development of China's automotive industry.

Scale Coordinate: China's annual car sales are number one globally, new energy penetration rate exceeds 60%, and 6 out of 10 new cars have green plates. Behind this number is the position of China's automotive industry in the global division of labor — from "contract manufacturing base" to "source of innovation".

Cui Dongshu, Secretary General of CPCA, clearly stated: "SAIC breaking 100 million marks that China has formally entered the first tier of the global automotive industry. This is not the achievement of one company, but a microcosm of the upgrade of China's entire manufacturing industry, proving that we have changed from followers of 'trading market for technology' to definers of 'trading technology for market'."

Shangguan News positioned it as a "model for industrial synergy in the Yangtze River Delta": SAIC's 100 million vehicles drove the rise of thousands of parts companies in the Yangtze River Delta, building the world's most complete automotive industry chain closed loop.

Global Coordinate: Toyota cumulative production and sales exceed 300 million, Volkswagen Group nearly 280 million, General Motors about 220 million — previously, the global "100-million-vehicle club" was only monopolized by four countries: US, Japan, Germany, and South Korea. SAIC, with 100 million vehicles, has joined the core position of the global second tier, becoming China's only and the world's fifth car company to break 100 million.

But we must see clearly: there are still gaps in core chassis and high-end transmission technologies for traditional fuel vehicles; high-level autonomous driving algorithms and vehicle software ecosystems still have obvious generation gaps compared to Tesla.

Brand Coordinate: The market share of Chinese brand passenger cars has broken 60%. The era of "driving a joint venture car was prestigious" is becoming history. Young consumers no longer blindly believe in foreign brands, and Chinese car companies have gained the right to define "good cars" for the first time.

SAIC's 100 million vehicles is a milestone node for China's automotive industry going from "Big" to "Strong".

After 100 Million Vehicles: New Propositions for China's Automotive Industry

Breaching 100 million vehicles is a node, and also a starting point.

The Chinese automotive industry is facing three new propositions:

Proposition 1: How to go from "Getting Big" to "Getting Strong"?

Scale is easy to get, but brand is hard to establish. Chinese car companies still have a gap in premium capability in the global market compared to luxury brands like BBA. The scale of 100 million vehicles proves the capability of Chinese manufacturing, but to establish true brand recognition in the global market, Chinese car companies still need time to cultivate deeply.

More critically, SAIC's premiumization path is still under attack. IM Motors cumulative sales from January to April 2026 reached 23,900 units, skyrocketing 130.35% year-on-year. Single-month sales in April broke 10,000 units, up 201.14% year-on-year. Despite the strong growth momentum, compared to the scale of NIO and Li Auto with over 30,000 units per month, there is still a significant gap in high-end market recognition.

Proposition 2: How to establish barriers in the second half of intelligentization?

Automotive competition has entered the second half — intelligent driving and intelligent cockpits have become new core battlefields. SAIC adopted a "Self-developed + Ecosystem" dual-track strategy in the intelligent driving field: Self-developed "Galaxy Intelligent Driving" focuses on the popularization of basic functions, while obtaining top algorithm support through strategic investment in Momenta (global third-party intelligent driving market share 61%), and launching the Shangjie brand for deep cooperation with Huawei, forming a multi-level technology layout. But it cannot be denied that the market volume of its single intelligent driving brand still lags behind Huawei and Tesla.

The competition in intelligentization is essentially a competition of data and algorithms. Whether Chinese car companies can maintain the lead in this competition depends on the speed and depth of technology iteration.

Proposition 3: How to establish cultural identity in the global market?

The export of Chinese cars is shifting from "selling cars" to "selling brands". MG's cumulative deliveries in Europe have broken 1 million units. Sales in 2025 reached 307,000 units, ranking 16th in the total list of the European market, being the only Chinese brand to enter the top 20. Its success relies not only on price-performance ratio, but also on a century-old British brand heritage and localization operations, but brand premium capability still has a gap compared to European local brands, and it faces long-term challenges of EU anti-subsidy investigations.

Truly global brands require not only product strength, but also a cultural output.

Written in Conclusion: From "Phoenix" to "100 Million", A New Beginning

68 years ago, when Shanghai craftsmen hammered out the first Phoenix sedan by hand, Chinese people did not yet know what the concept of 100 million vehicles was.

68 years later, SAIC Motor Group completed the leap from "chaser" to "definer" with 100 million vehicles.

From "No Own Engines" to "New Energy Technology Globally Leading", from "Trading Market for Technology" to "Trading Technology for Market", from "Low-end Contract Manufacturing" to "High-end Intelligent Manufacturing" — these 100 million vehicles are a microcosm of the upgrade of China's manufacturing industry.

SAIC's 100 million vehicles is a new starting point, not the end point, of China's automotive industry.

The next 100 million vehicles may come faster.

你睇過印度嘅馬路嗎？

我喺網上見過。

畫面通常係咁，一輛轎車俾牛尾擋住，旁邊仲有亂竄嘅摩托，甚至周圍仲有賣奶茶嘅小夥，嗰叫一個“乾淨又衛生”。

然而，喺呢啲睇完好多人覺得生理不適嘅地方，豐田、鈴木、本田等日本車廠，卻決定將籌碼押落印度。

據印度“品牌質量基金會”網站顯示，三家車廠將喺印度投資近110 億美元建廠、提產能、搞出口。

對此有网友表示，三家日本車廠係咪錢多到無處花？

事實上，佢哋唔係錢多到花唔完，亦唔係被印度嘅咖哩蒙蔽咗心竅，呢啲日本車廠高層遠比我哋清醒。

而家嘅日系車，營業額、市場份額都喺下滑，原材料成本仲係升得飛起，打開世界地圖，搵一個能夠容納產能、拓充份額、競爭溫和嘅市場，唔係咁容易嘅事。

所以，唔係日本車廠選擇咗印度，而係因為冇得揀。

日本車廠之痛

曾經嘅日系車，嗰時妥妥係人哋個仔。

你問下十幾年前開過日系車嘅老司機，一提起日系車，幾乎就冇唔豎大拇指嘅，價錢平、省油、耐用又抵撞……

甚至好多日系車，仲要加價購買，但邊個諗到，呢個鐵打嘅江山，短短幾年時間就俾佢哋打得找唔著北。

隨著新能源汽車浪潮嚟到，電動化、智能化變成好多自主車廠“彎道超車”嘅目標，依托於中國強大嘅新能源汽車產業鏈優勢同車廠自身對研發、技術嘅堅持，中國自主品牌迅速實現咗“彎道超車”。

曾經被人吐槽嘅國產車，而家喺馬路越來越多人，甚至份額超越咗合資。

根據乘聯會嘅數據，喺2026 年4 月，自主品牌嘅份額已經高達62.5%，遠超日系嘅13.1%。

要知道，中國汽車市場係全球最大嘅汽車市場，喺中國市場失速，就相當於丟咗一塊巨大嘅蛋糕。

同時，中國市場近年嚟嘅主旋律依舊係價格戰，捲配置、捲價格、捲服務已經成為一種常態，亦對日系車嘅利潤產生咗巨大嘅影響。

除咗中國，日系車喺美國過得亦唔太好。

2025 年 1 月 20 日，特朗普宣誓就職第 47 任美國總統，自此開啟咗一連串搞搞震，其中就包括以國家安全為理由徵收額外嘅汽車關稅，導致進口日本汽車嘅關稅稅率一度高達 27.5%，雖然後嚟有所降低，但亦遠高於最初嘅稅率。

呢個操作，直接導致七大日本車廠喺2025 財政年度嘅關稅損失超2 萬億日元。

再睇日本本土，其實亦唔容易。

中東地緣衝突導致霍爾木茲海峽航運受阻，運輸成本、原材料成本暴漲，日本車廠都有苦難言。

高管們看著報表，背後發涼，只能尋找全新嘅增長曲線。

所以，日本車廠唔係愛上印度，係冇地方去。

揀選印度嘅深思熟慮

咁，印度點解咁有魔力，先至令日本車廠重資投入呢？

第一個優勢就係大。喺2025 年，印度汽車市場取得咗551.7 萬輛嘅新車銷量，同比增長 6%，刷新咗歷史紀錄，位居全球第三大汽車市場，已经连续四年超越日本，僅次於中國同美國。

呢個含金量唔使多講啦，而印度取得呢一成績，主要係因為印度一直喺推動減稅政策，促進消費，這導致國內消費意願出現咗明顯增強。

第二個優點係近，就係離日系車賣得動嘅地方近，如非洲等其他地區。

所以，印度對於日本車廠，更似一個建喺十字路口中央嘅便利店，你唔使將車分別運去八個國家，只需要喺印度呢站造好，然後一船一船甩去，就能削減唔少成本。

《日本經濟新聞》亦認為，印度有望轉變為佢哋全球嘅汽車供應中心。

第三個優點係穩。要知道，日系車嘅優勢就係燃油車，畢竟引擎、變速箱、底盤三大件，佢哋已經玩咗好多年，技術積累喺全球都係數一數二。

但係中國汽車市場已經全力推動電動化、智能化發展，導致日系車嘅優勢越來越弱，根本無法發揮出嚟，但印度唔一樣，佢擁有充電樁少、電動化進程緩慢嘅特點，印度老百姓買車，都仲係盯住平、省油、易修，而呢三點正係日系車嘅老本行。

尤其係鈴木，一直係印度汽車市場嘅常青樹，幾乎年年穩坐暢銷車型寶座，口碑好，勝過任何廣告。

所以，日本車廠大力佈局印度市場，顯然是經過深思熟慮嘅。

但，印度市場真係咁好混咩？

難啃嘅印度市場

當然，印度亦唔係完美得似個香口格，佢嘅缺點同佢嘅優點一樣明顯，而且每一個都夠日本車廠喝一壺。

先講電動化，冇錯，眼睇下印度充電樁少、電動車賣唔動，確實係日系燃油車嘅避風港。但你得諗諗，呢個“避風港”能避幾耐？

印度此前可係喊出咗 2030 年電動車佔新車 30% 嘅口號，雖然聽落似吹水，但抵唔住人哋真補錢、真建充電站。

試諗下，萬一有日印度突然開竅，開始大力推動電動化、搞基建，充電樁似雨後春筍咁冒出來，嗰日系車唔就傻眼？

呢唔係泰國市場嘅翻版咩？

當年日系車喺泰國都係躺贏，整個東南亞市場，都被稱為日系車嘅後花園，結果泰國率先推動電動化，中國電動車一嚟，直接就成咗香口格，再睇日系車，喺泰國嘅市場份額嘩嘩嚟咗落。

如果印度係電動化一加速，歷史大概率會重演，而而家呢次，日系車連逃嘅地方都快冇咗，點樣預防，將成為日本車廠嘅首要問題。

再講政策，印度嘅政策就似一鍋咖哩，你永遠唔知下一口食到係雞肉定係馬鈴薯。

呢個魔幻嘅國家，今日係低關稅鼓勵建廠，明日就可能罰你一筆巨款，更令人頭痛嘅係強制合資，外國車廠想喺印度賣車，要搵本地夥伴搭檔，等你工廠建好咗、供應鏈搭完咗，印度直接背刺你，到嗰陣無論係加錢定撤資，換嚟嘅都係心痛。

所以你看，印度呢個市場，就好似一個睇落好甜嘅芒果，咬落去第一口仲行，再啃幾口就摸著硬核。

日系車而家嘅算盤係，趁住核都未硌牙，趕緊多啃幾口，但核遲早會硌到，只係唔知係邊一日。

尾聲

日系車呢趟印度之旅，唔係去旅遊，係去搵食。

中國同東南亞嘅飯桌更擁擠，生產、運輸嘅成本又提高咗，放眼全球，就印度呢口鍋仲冒住熱氣，哪怕入面煮嘅係咖哩味嘅石頭，都要硬著頭皮啃落去。

日本車廠想擴大市場，印度想嘅係拉動經濟、解決就業，雙方都有各自嘅心思。

至於結局係日系車喺印度重新封神，定係好似當年嘅部分友商一樣灰溜溜走人，那就唔知啦。

但無論點樣，呢場戲先至開始，我哋慢慢睇就得啦。

反正印度嘅故事，從來唔會悶。

In May, China's automotive market overall presented a gentle recovery trend, with domestic brands still being the sales backbone of the market. Recently, BYD, Geely, Chery, Changan, and Great Wall, the top 5 domestic automakers, successively released their monthly performance reports. From the data, these five companies show a general characteristic of "stable total growth, divergence between domestic and international markets, and accelerated new energy penetration". Overseas exports and new energy vehicles have become the most core growth engines; export business has evolved from a "bonus item" to the "core foundation" for some companies. BYD's "dominant leader" status is further consolidated, Chery achieved high growth via exports, Geely's new energy penetration rate broke 56%, Changan focused steadily on balanced development, while Great Wall appeared slightly under pressure during structural transformation.

BYD: Export Hits New High Becomes Biggest Highlight

In May, BYD stood firmly at the top of domestic brands with a monthly sales volume of 383,500 vehicles, maintaining positive growth both year-on-year and month-over-month under a large base. Its two main brands, Dynasty and Ocean, sold a combined 330,200 vehicles, contributing 86.1% of total sales; Fangchengbao's monthly sales broke 30,000 units to reach 30,200, a year-on-year increase of 139.7%, setting a new high for the year; Denza sold 16,300 vehicles, and Yangwang delivered 286 vehicles. From a model perspective, BYD had eight models in May with monthly sales exceeding 20,000 vehicles. The Song Family and Yuan Family both broke 50,000 units, selling 51,370 and 56,691 vehicles respectively. The Sea Lion Family followed closely with 42,615 vehicles, and Seagull sales were also close to 40,000 vehicles.

BYD's biggest highlight in May was exports. Overseas new energy vehicle sales reached 160,600 units, an 80.4% year-on-year increase, accounting for about 42%. The sharp expansion of export scale effectively countered the phased weakness in domestic demand. Cumulative exports from January to May exceeded 620,000 vehicles. High export growth mainly benefited from continued ramping up of overseas factory capacity, improved ocean shipping capacity, and accelerated channel network expansion. In the domestic market, BYD promoted Megawatt Super Charging and intelligent strategies simultaneously—Megawatt charging achieved about 90% charge in 9 minutes; 20,000 super charging stations are planned to be built by 2026; all series models are available with Sky Eye B intelligent driving solutions and city navigation safety fallback plans, accelerating the popularization of high-level intelligent driving. As Gen 2 Blade Battery capacity gradually releases, the company's orders are expected to continue rising.

Chery: Sales Growth Leads the Top 5

Chery Group's total sales volume in May was 247,800 vehicles, a significant year-on-year increase of 20.5%, ranking first in growth speed among the top 5. Exports remained its most core growth engine—May exports reached 181,900 vehicles, an 80.5% year-on-year increase, accounting for 73.4% of total sales that month, continuously breaking the single-month export record for Chinese brands for three months. In terms of new energy, Chery New Energy sold 100,300 vehicles, a 58.8% year-on-year increase. April and May consecutively saw monthly new energy sales breaking 100,000 vehicles.

The strong performance in exports benefited from Chery's long-term deep cultivation of overseas channel advantages and localized operation capabilities. While overseas orders continued to rise, high export growth formed a sharp contrast with domestic sales—Chery's domestic sales in May were only 60,000 vehicles, accounting for one-quarter of total sales. From cumulative data, Chery Group accumulated 1.101 million sales from January to May, but against the annual goal of 3.2 million vehicles, monthly averages need to reach about 420,000 vehicles later, and pressure remains significant.

Geely: New Energy Penetration Rate Breaks 56%

Geely Auto's total sales volume in May was 237,600 vehicles, a 1% year-on-year increase, achieving month-over-month double growth for three consecutive months. In terms of structure, Geely's "New Four Transformations" transformation showed significant results: new energy vehicle sales reached 133,400 units, accounting for 56% of total sales, with new energy share exceeding 50% for four consecutive months.

From sub-brands, performance was significantly divergent. Zeekr brand sales in May reached 34,400 vehicles, a 82% year-on-year increase; Zeekr 9 Series and 8 Series models combined sales approached 50% of total sales, showing bright performance in the high-end market; Galaxy brand sales were 81,700 vehicles; Geely brand sales were 182,500 vehicles, among which China Star Series sales reached 100,800 vehicles; Lynk & Co brand sales were 20,700 vehicles, with new energy vehicle sales share rising to 71%.

In terms of exports, Geely's overseas vehicle exports in May reached 85,100 vehicles, a explosive 184% year-on-year increase, setting a brand single-month export record high. Among exported products, new energy vehicles reached 40,800 units, accounting for nearly half; hybrid and pure electric products have successively landed in Southeast Asia, Middle East, Latin America, and other markets, highlighting the results of global strategy implementation.

Changan: Multi-brand Matrix Balanced Effort

Changan Auto's delivery volume in May was 209,100 vehicles, among which new energy deliveries were 92,400 vehicles, a 5.8% year-on-year increase, with new energy share about 44%. In terms of exports, overseas deliveries reached 70,700 vehicles, a 38% year-on-year increase, becoming another major growth highlight for Changan in May.

In the sub-brand matrix, Changan Qiyuan delivered 34,500 vehicles in May; All-New Q05 delivered 15,800 units, with orders breaking 3,000 units within three days of listing in Thailand; Deepal sales in May were 33,200 vehicles, a 30% year-on-year increase; January to May overseas cumulative sales were 28,700 vehicles, a significant 167% year-on-year increase; Avatr delivered 7,336 vehicles in May; Changan Auto (Gravity) delivered nearly 49,000 vehicles in May.

Changan Auto's balanced layout was fully reflected in May: the fuel car base remained stable, new energy brands Deepal and Qiyuan accelerated volume growth, high-end brand Avatr continued to break through in technical cooperation, and overseas markets simultaneously achieved breakthrough growth. The pattern of five brands working together, driven by both new energy and exports, is initially taking shape.

Great Wall: Overseas Sales Growth Year-on-Year 46.75%

Great Wall Motor's sales in May were 100,400 vehicles, slightly down compared to last May's 102,200 vehicles, making it the only company among the top 5 to show a year-on-year negative growth. From sub-brands, Haval brand sales in May were 55,500 vehicles, remaining Great Wall's most important sales pillar; Tank brand sales were 17,100 vehicles; both Haval and Tank brand sales showed year-on-year declines; Wey brand sold 8,119 vehicles, a 31.78% year-on-year increase, achieving growth against the trend; Ora brand performance was most stunning, with sales of 6,018 vehicles, a significant 206.88% year-on-year increase. In terms of new energy, Great Wall sold 30,400 new energy vehicles in May, with new energy vehicle transformation gradually accelerating.

The overseas market became Great Wall's biggest highlight in May, with overseas sales growing 46.75% year-on-year. Against the background of pressure on the domestic market, strong growth in overseas business effectively made up for the decline in the domestic market. Great Wall Motor's current core contradiction lies in: Haval and Tank, the two traditional main-selling brands, face weak growth, while Wey and Ora brands, although growing notably, have relatively small volume and are not yet enough to support overall growth. How to complete the "relay" between old and new brands is the key issue Great Wall must solve subsequently.

Final Thoughts

From May data, the growth pattern of the top 5 domestic brands has clearly diverged, but there are three common trends worth noting: First, exports have become a key engine for domestic brands to seek stability and growth. Second, new energy transformation is still accelerating, but paths differ among enterprises. Third, technological innovation continues to deepen brand moats. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, competition in the automotive industry will continue to upgrade around these three trends. Although everyone has a common direction, these three trends are all competing for the entire enterprise's industrial chain strength, and the strong will remain strong, which has almost become an inevitable outcome.

唔知有幾多朋友最近期關注 10 萬內純電 SUV 市場？近段時間睇嚟，呢個細分市場好熱鬧。就講長安啟源全新 Q05 同零跑 A10，上個月銷量分別達 15814 輛同 14372 輛，全部挺進 2026 年 4 月銷量排行全品類前 10，長安啟源全新 Q05 甚至奪得緊緊湊型純電 SUV 市場嘅銷冠。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

值得留意係，兩款大熱門產品亮點亦唔少，9 萬級可以得到 500km+嘅續航，零跑 A10 甚至配備激光雷達，有高級智駕輔助需求嘅朋友嚟講，呢架車吸引力的確唔低。但係喺價格上，同為高配嘅長安啟源全新 Q05 506Max+ 同零跑 A10 505 激光雷達版，終端價格分別係 9.59 萬同 8.68 萬，手握 9 萬左右預算嘅朋友都可以考慮。明顯係，又去到決賽圈二揀一環節。

（零跑 A10）

如果對預算比較敏感，咁喺長安啟源全新 Q05 同零跑 A10 之間，後者可能更受歡迎，畢竟終端價格實打實平咗幾千元。而且，高配 A10 配有激光雷達，市區/高速情況均能啟動領航輔助駕駛，呢個就係佢嘅優勢所在。當然，如果預算允許，揀長安啟源全新 Q05 高配，都有帶激光雷達嘅高級輔助駕駛。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

但既然係買車前嘅橫評，唔少全方位對比。首先從尺寸睇，作為緊湊型 SUV，長安啟源全新 Q05 長寬高分別係 4435*1855*1595mm，軸距為 2735mm。而零跑 A10 車型級別就係小型 SUV，長寬高分別係 4270*1810*1635mm，軸距為 2605mm。

（零跑 A10）

如果只係考慮代步、通勤，零跑 A10 嘅細個嘅略有優勢，方便行街串巷。但實際上，好多人買車都要兼顧家用，10 萬內預算也多以剛需用車群體為主。既然係剛需，且有家用需求，嗰空間自然唔好掉鏈子。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

講返日常家庭出行嚟講，兩車之間 130mm 軸距差異，直接反映喺後排體驗。坐入長安啟源全新 Q05 後排，腿部空間平整兼寬敞，一齊坐 3 位成年人都唔會太擠；但係坐入零跑 A10 後排，無論坐寬定係腿部空間都會細少少。媽咪喺後排照顧孩子，長安啟源全新 Q05 後排更加寬敞嘅空間會更加方便佢操作，孩子都能有更大嘅活動空間。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

除咗空間，通勤黨同家庭用戶對舒適配置都比較關注。睇嚟對比，兩車都有配電動尾門、無匙進入、自適應遠近光等外部配置。但係從車廂內睇，零跑 A10 副駕無法電動調節，後排靠背都唔支援角度調節，同埋缺少後排空調出風口、車內 PM2.5 過濾裝置等。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

反觀長安啟源全新 Q05，除咗副駕支持電動調節，前排仲集成咗加熱/通風/按摩/副駕腿托功能，對比零跑 A10 只提供前排座椅加熱，佢嘅品質無疑更上一層樓。包括後排乘員都有少少照顧，例如靠背角度可調、配有後排空調出風口、後排中央扶手/杯架等，更加適合家人同行呢類場景。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

除咗舒享體驗，行駛系統嘅對比我哋都唔好忽略。首先從大家關注嘅續航睇，長安啟源全新 Q05 同零跑 A10 分別搭載 51.9kWh、53kWh 電池，CLTC 純電續航做到 506km、505km，差異大可忽略。但從電芯供應鏈睇，前者出自寧德時代，後者就係國軒高科/江蘇正力，若論品牌含金量，“寧王”順位自然靠前，更值得信賴。另外，兩車都有全球品質，按照全球嚴苛嘅標準打造，零跑 A10 符合國內、歐盟雙標準，長安啟源全新 Q05 已經喺泰國上市，未來仲會相繼落地多個國家地區，最終開拓歐洲區域，此外仲有央企背書，質量品質都好可靠。

因為本文討論嘅係 A10 嘅 505 版本，採用電池液冷技術，溫控較好，而如果係 403 版本，採用成本低嘅風冷技術，散熱效果較差。呢點上，全新 Q05 做得更好，入門就採用電池直冷技術，高配用嘅係液冷技術，能更好地實現熱管理，保證電池安全。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

動力方面，長安啟源全新 Q05 同零跑 A10 都係前置單電機佈局，電機最大動力輸出分別係 120kW/190N·m、90kW/150N·m，0-100km/h 加速時間分別做到 8.9 秒同 10.6 秒。坦率嚟講，兩款車喺純電陣營加速性能都中規中矩；但係相對嚟講，長安啟源全新 Q05 嘅 8 秒級零百加速，喺山路行駛、高速超車等情況下會比零跑 A10 更加分。

（長安啟源全新 Q05）

（零跑 A10）

總結嚟講，零跑 A10 505 激光雷達版優勢突出：價格更低、智駕輔助覆蓋範圍更廣，適合預算優先 + 科技嘗鮮嘅消費者。而長安啟源全新 Q05 更強調“全面”二字：加少少預算同樣可以獲得高級輔助駕駛，而且尺寸更大、舒適配置更高、採用頭部電芯供應鏈，動力亦更強，綜合表現更全能。總括嚟講，預算 9 萬級追求面面俱到嘅家用體驗，長安啟源全新 Q05 506Max+ 更加值得考慮。

Have you ever seen the roads in India?

I've seen them online.

The scene is usually like this: a sedan blocked behind a cow, motorcycles running wild nearby, even milk tea vendors nearby, so "clean and hygienic".

However, in a place where many feel physically uncomfortable after watching, Toyota, Suzuki, Honda and other Japanese car companies decided to bet on India.

According to the Indian "Brand Quality Foundation" website, the three car companies will invest nearly $11 billion to build factories, increase capacity, and develop exports in India.

Some netizens commented: Did the three Japanese car companies have too much money?

In fact, they didn't have endless money to spend, nor were they bewildered by Indian curry. These Japanese car executives are much clearer than us.

Current Japanese car revenue and market share are declining. Raw material costs are soaring. Looking at the world map, finding a market that can accommodate capacity, expand share, and has gentle competition is not easy.

So, it wasn't that Japanese car companies chose India, but because they had no choice.

The Pain of Japanese Car Companies

Past Japanese cars were truly the envy of others.

Ask old drivers who drove Japanese cars over ten years ago, talking about Japanese cars, almost no one doesn't give a thumbs up, cheap price, fuel saving, durable...

Even many Japanese cars needed to be bought at a markup, but who would think this iron fortress would be beaten out of sight in a few short years.

With the wave of new energy vehicles coming, electrification and intelligence became the goal for many domestic car companies to "leapfrog". Relying on China's strong new energy vehicle industry chain advantages and car companies' own persistence on R&D and technology, Chinese independent brands quickly achieved "leapfrogging".

Domestic cars once criticized are now becoming more and more common on the roads, even surpassing joint ventures in share.

According to CPCA data, in April 2026, the share of independent brands reached as high as 62.5%, far exceeding Japan's 13.1%.

You need to know, the Chinese car market is the largest car market in the world. Losing speed in the Chinese market is like losing a huge piece of cake.

Meanwhile, the main theme of the Chinese market in recent years is still price wars. Racing on configuration, price, and service has become a normal state, which also had a huge impact on Japanese cars' profits.

Apart from China, Japanese cars are also not doing well in the US.

On January 20, 2025, Trump swore in as the 47th US President, starting a series of chaotic operations, including imposing additional car tariffs in the name of national security, causing the tariff rate for imported Japanese cars to reach as high as 27.5% at one point. Although it decreased later, it was still far higher than the initial tax rate.

This operation directly led to a tariff loss of over 2 trillion yen for seven Japanese car companies in fiscal year 2025.

Looking at Japan itself, it is actually not easy either.

Middle East geopolitical conflicts blocked shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, transportation costs and raw material costs soared, Japanese car companies also had to suffer in silence.

Executives looking at the reports, their backs went cold, only to find a new growth curve.

So, Japanese car companies didn't fall in love with India, there was nowhere else to go.

Deep Thought on Choosing India

So, what magic does India have, to make Japanese car companies invest heavily?

The first advantage is big. In 2025, the Indian car market achieved 5.517 million new car sales, up 6% year-on-year, breaking the historical record, ranking as the third largest car market in the world, exceeding Japan for four consecutive years, second only to China and the United States.

The value of this doesn't need me to say much. India achieved this result mainly because India has been promoting tax reduction policies to promote consumption, which led to a significant increase in domestic consumption willingness.

The second advantage is close, meaning it is close to places where Japanese cars sell well, such as Africa.

So, India for Japanese car companies is more like a convenience store built in the center of a crossroad. You don't need to ship cars to eight countries separately, just build well at this stop in India, then unload ship by ship, and you can save a lot of costs.

The Nikkei also believes that India is expected to become its global car supply center.

The third advantage is stability. You know, Japanese cars' advantage is fuel cars, after all, the three major components of engines, gearboxes, and chassis, they have played for many years, technology accumulation is number one in the world.

But the Chinese car market has fully promoted electrification and intelligence development, leading to Japanese cars' advantage becoming weaker and weaker, impossible to play out. But India is different, it has the characteristics of few charging piles and slow electrification process. Indian old people buying cars still look for cheap, fuel saving, easy to fix, and these three points are exactly Japanese cars' old trade.

Especially Suzuki, always been India's car market evergreen, almost always sitting on the best-selling model throne, reputation of being worry-free, better than any advertisement.

So, Japanese car companies' vigorous layout of the Indian market is obviously carefully considered.

But, is the Indian market really that easy to mix?

The Hard-to-Bite Indian Market

Of course, India is not perfect like a hot commodity, its disadvantages are as obvious as its advantages, and every one is enough for Japanese car companies to face a hard time.

First talk about electrification. Yes, right now India has few charging piles and electric cars don't sell well, it is indeed a shelter for Japanese fuel cars. But you have to think, how long can this "shelter" avoid?

India previously shouted the slogan of 30% of new cars being electric vehicles by 2030. Although it sounds like bragging, but can't help but they really give subsidies, really build charging stations.

Imagine, what if one day India suddenly wakes up, starts vigorously promoting electrification, doing infrastructure, charging piles popping out like mushrooms after rain, then Japanese cars will be dumbfounded?

Isn't this a version of the Thai market?

Back then Japanese cars in Thailand won easily. The entire Southeast Asian market was called Japanese cars' backyard. Result Thailand took the lead in promoting electrification. Chinese electric vehicles came in, directly became a hot commodity. Look at Japanese cars again, share in Thailand falling down rapidly.

If India accelerates electrification, history will likely repeat, and this time, Japanese cars don't even have a place to flee, how to prevent will become the first problem for Japanese car companies.

Next talk about policy. India's policy is like a pot of curry, you never know if you will eat chicken or potato next time.

This magical country, today low tariff encourages building factories, tomorrow may fine you a huge amount. What's more annoying is mandatory joint venture. Foreign car companies want to sell cars in India, have to find local partners to partner up. When your factory is built, supply chain is done, India directly backstabs you. At that time whether adding money or withdrawing capital, what you get is heartache.

So you see, this market like India is like a mango that looks very sweet, bite the first mouth it's okay, chew two more mouths hit the hard core.

Japanese cars now is calculating, while the core hasn't bit the tooth, hurry up to nibble a few more mouths, but the core will bite sooner or later, just don't know which day.

Epilogue

Japanese cars this trip to India, not go for tourism, is go to make a living.

Chinese and Southeast Asian dining tables are more crowded, production and transportation costs have risen. Looking around the world, only this pot in India is still steaming, even if what is boiling inside is curry-flavored stones, have to bite hard and chew down.

Japanese car companies want to expand market, India wants to pull economy, solve employment, both sides have their own thoughts.

As for the ending is Japanese cars in India regain their glory, or like past competitors shamefully walk away, then is not known.

But no matter how, this play just started, we slowly watch is okay.

Anyway India's story, never bored.

Folks, today let's talk about big news on going global—not selling cars, but selling "drivers". On June 2, WeRide and Uber jointly announced a plan: to launch the country's first commercial Robotaxi pilot service in Madrid, Spain. In other words: Spanish residents will soon be able to hail a driverless taxi via Uber. This is the first time WeRide and Uber are partnering to enter the European market. Madrid also becomes the 12th city globally where WeRide's Robotaxi arrives.

According to official news, with the support of the Madrid regional government, this service will officially launch within this year. At that time, friends in Madrid can open the Uber App and call WeRide's Robotaxi with one click. It's just like calling an ordinary ride-hailing service, the difference is the arriving car has no driver—at least initially, there is still a difference. In the initial operation phase, a professionally trained safety monitor will be on board, as it's just launched, safety comes first.

This company, WeRide, you might have heard of it, or you might not. A brief introduction: Established in 2017, it has been dedicated to Robotaxi technology R&D and commercialization. Currently, its Robotaxis cover Guangzhou, Beijing, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, Zurich... plus Madrid now, totaling 12 cities. Spain is also the 5th European market WeRide has entered—previously entered Switzerland, France, Belgium, Slovakia. According to the plan agreed by WeRide and Uber in May 2025, they plan to deploy Robotaxi services in 15 new international cities within five years, deploying tens of thousands of Robotaxis globally. With the Madrid launch, the deployment in 4 cities has been completed, and 11 more will be covered successively before 2030.

To be honest, it's not the first time Chinese autonomous driving companies are going global, but the combination of Chinese technology + global mobility platform + European market is quite interesting. Madrid is one of the European Robotaxi markets with the most commercial potential, with a large population, high travel demand, and friendly local policies. Being able to take root in this market is a significant milestone for WeRide. For Uber, introducing Robotaxis is also a way to reduce costs—after all, drivers don't need salaries. For Madrid residents, hailing a taxi might be cheaper in the future.

講返日常家庭出行嚟講，兩車之間 130mm 軸距差異，直接反映喺後排體驗。坐入長安啟源全新 Q05 後排，腿部空間平整兼寬敞，一齊坐 3 位成年人都唔會太擠；但係坐入零跑 A10 後排，無論坐寬定係腿部空間都會細少少。媽咪喺後排照顧孩子，長安啟源全新 Q05 後排更加寬敞嘅空間會更加方便佢操作，孩子都能有更大嘅活動空間。

除咗空間，通勤黨同家庭用戶對舒適配置都比較關注。睇嚟對比，兩車都有配電動尾門、無匙進入、自適應遠近光等外部配置。但係從車廂內睇，零跑 A10 副駕無法電動調節，後排靠背都唔支援角度調節，同埋缺少後排空調出風口、車內 PM2.5 過濾裝置等。

反觀長安啟源全新 Q05，除咗副駕支持電動調節，前排仲集成咗加熱/通風/按摩/副駕腿托功能，對比零跑 A10 只提供前排座椅加熱，佢嘅品質無疑更上一層樓。包括後排乘員都有少少照顧，例如靠背角度可調、配有後排空調出風口、後排中央扶手/杯架等，更加適合家人同行呢類場景。

除咗舒享體驗，行駛系統嘅對比我哋都唔好忽略。首先從大家關注嘅續航睇，長安啟源全新 Q05 同零跑 A10 分別搭載 51.9kWh、53kWh 電池，CLTC 純電續航做到 506km、505km，差異大可忽略。但從電芯供應鏈睇，前者出自寧德時代，後者就係國軒高科/江蘇正力，若論品牌含金量，“寧王”順位自然靠前，更值得信賴。另外，兩車都有全球品質，按照全球嚴苛嘅標準打造，零跑 A10 符合國內、歐盟雙標準，長安啟源全新 Q05 已經喺泰國上市，未來仲會相繼落地多個國家地區，最終開拓歐洲區域，此外仲有央企背書，質量品質都好可靠。

因為本文討論嘅係 A10 嘅 505 版本，採用電池液冷技術，溫控較好，而如果係 403 版本，採用成本低嘅風冷技術，散熱效果較差。呢點上，全新 Q05 做得更好，入門就採用電池直冷技術，高配用嘅係液冷技術，能更好地實現熱管理，保證電池安全。

動力方面，長安啟源全新 Q05 同零跑 A10 都係前置單電機佈局，電機最大動力輸出分別係 120kW/190N·m、90kW/150N·m，0-100km/h 加速時間分別做到 8.9 秒同 10.6 秒。坦率嚟講，兩款車喺純電陣營加速性能都中規中矩；但係相對嚟講，長安啟源全新 Q05 嘅 8 秒級零百加速，喺山路行駛、高速超車等情況下會比零跑 A10 更加分。

總結嚟講，零跑 A10 505 激光雷達版優勢突出：價格更低、智駕輔助覆蓋範圍更廣，適合預算優先 + 科技嘗鮮嘅消費者。而長安啟源全新 Q05 更強調“全面”二字：加少少預算同樣可以獲得高級輔助駕駛，而且尺寸更大、舒適配置更高、採用頭部電芯供應鏈，動力亦更強，綜合表現更全能。總括嚟講，預算 9 萬級追求面面俱到嘅家用體驗，長安啟源全新 Q05 506Max+ 更加值得考慮。

BYD officially released the May 2026 production and sales flash report, with new energy vehicles from all brands reaching a monthly sales volume of 383,453 vehicles, a slight increase of 0.26% year-on-year, achieving year-on-year positive growth in monthly sales after ten months; among them, passenger car deliveries reached 376,990 units, surging 19.4% month-on-month, wiping out the pain of previous model iterations, presenting a new pattern where the domestic base is stable, overseas sales are soaring, and high-end brands are scaling up across the board. Amidst the market environment of intensified competition in the domestic new energy sector, Tesla FSD entering China, and an intense launch of independent new products, it has forged a unique structural growth path.

Eight Models Break 20,000 Monthly Sales, Song and Yuan Brands Stabilize at 50,000

The Dynasty and Ocean main brands combined sold 330,215 vehicles in May, accounting for over 80% of the group's total sales, remaining the stabilizer for BYD's sales volume. The full series had 8 models exceeding 20,000 units in monthly sales, covering products from 50,000 entry-level commuter to 200,000 home SUV.

Inside the Dynasty Network, the Yuan family sold 56,691 units, and the Song family 51,370 units. Both crossed the 50,000 threshold, becoming two major sales pillars for the brand, catering to home commuter and urban-rural travel needs; the Qin family followed closely with a stable performance of 28,360 units. The Han and Tang series maintained a volume in the six-thousand range, deeply cultivating the mid-to-large home sedan and SUV niche markets; the brand new model Xia is in the market cultivation phase, delivering 1,810 units monthly, with potential for steady volume growth as channels expand.

The Ocean Network's growth momentum is even more rapid, with 5 models entering the 20,000 club across the series: Sealion 42,615 units, Seal 34,117 units, Seagull 39,919 units, Dolphin 22,260 units, and Song PLUS 27,755 units. Among them, Seagull remains the best-selling entry-level commuter model thanks to its affordable pricing of 60,000-80,000. Sealion, as a new volume model, stands firm at the 40,000 level upon launch, filling the mid-size SUV product gap in the Ocean Network and perfecting the Ocean product tier layout. From commuter small cars to compact SUVs, the two main brands rely on DM-i hybrid and pure electric dual-line technologies to牢牢锁住 the mainstream home market share within 150,000 domestically.

Fang Cheng Bao Year-on-Year Surges 139.7%, Brand Upward Positioning Takes Effect

The high-end matrix of Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, and Yangwang sold a combined 46,489 vehicles in May, officially breaking away from the niche positioning to become a new pivot for BYD's brand premium and profit growth, breaking the industry curse of difficulty in high-end breakthrough for domestic brands.

The off-road brand Fang Cheng Bao sold 30,186 units monthly, surging 139.7% year-on-year, creating a new high in monthly sales since the brand launched. Its Titanium 7 model sold 18,280 units monthly, while Leopard 5 and Leopard 8 output remained stable, continuously squeezing the survival space for joint venture and imported models in the 250,000-400,000 hardcore off-road niche market.

Denza delivered 16,303 units in May, with the MPV benchmark D9 selling 6,721 units, and the Z9 series close to 6,000 units. MPV and mid-to-large sedan dual-line efforts helped them stand firm in the luxury new energy track; the million-level ultra-luxury brand Yangwang continued its steady climb, delivering 286 units that month, a year-on-year increase of 105.8%, completing market verification of the domestic brand ceiling product and forming a full price range product layout from 100,000+ home, 300,000-400,000 off-road, 500,000 luxury MPV to million-level flagship.

Overseas Explosion: 160,600 Units in Single Month, Accounting for Over 40% of Total Sales, Becomes Second Growth Curve

In May, BYD's overseas sales of passenger cars and pickup trucks reached 160,177 units, surging 80.7% year-on-year. Exports accounted for over 42% of the full series total sales, setting a new historical high for brand export and becoming the core driving force to stabilize May overall sales and achieve year-on-year positive growth.

Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America became the main incremental markets. Seagull, Song PLUS, and Yuan series continued to top new energy best-seller lists in multiple countries; the SHARK pickup truck exceeded 4,000 units in monthly exports for two consecutive months. Relying on the completion of localization production in Thailand, Brazil, Hungary, and Uzbekistan with four overseas vehicle factories, localized production continues to land, avoiding tariffs while rapidly penetrating terminal channels. Against the background of stock market competition in the domestic auto industry and normalized price wars, the rapidly expanding overseas market effectively counteracts sales volatility brought by domestic model iterations, officially upgrading from a supplementary market to BYD's core growth engine. As of now, BYD's global cumulative new energy vehicle sales have exceeded 16.5 million units, with the globalization map continuously broadening.

Intelligent Driving Empowers Product Iteration, H2 New Products Prepare to Surge Volume

May marked a key node in BYD's intelligent driving landing, with the God's Eye intelligent driving system becoming a core bonus point for models: the number of vehicles with advanced intelligent driving across all brands exceeded 3.15 million, with daily road test data exceeding 200 million kilometers; that month, BYD implemented City Pilot and Smart Parking dual safety backup services, becoming the world's first auto manufacturer to achieve dual intelligent driving backups. Three days after policy implementation, the activation rate of models equipped with the God's Eye system in cities surged 50%. Intelligent driving experience upgrades directly drove in-store order conversion, solidifying product competitiveness for subsequent models to continue volume sales, and facing the intelligent driving market shock brought by FSD entering China.

From data details, BYD's cumulative sales from January to May 2026 were 1,405,039 units, down 20.32% year-on-year. The core reason is that the full series of main models were concentratedly iterated, and the capacity ramp-up of the 2nd Gen Fast Charge Blade Battery was restricted. The new Flash Charge Battery upgraded fast charging and low-temperature performance. Full series iteration models prioritized installing new batteries, but production line retrofitting dragged down capacity release. Order backlogs on popular models and delayed deliveries compressed the May delivery volume to a certain extent.

As the end of the second quarter approaches and the 2nd Gen Blade Battery capacity continues to release, coupled with new models such as Denza N8L, Fang Cheng Bao Titanium 7 Pure Electric Version, Sealion 05, and Xia L landing the market, the industry generally predicts that BYD's full brand sales in June are expected to exceed 400,000 vehicles. Relying on the four-dimension development logic of low-end volume locking share, high-end raising profit, overseas pushing volume, and intelligence improving product power, amidst the intensified new energy elimination round in the domestic market, BYD's full category layout advantage continues to amplify, securing its status as the domestic new energy leader, accelerating steadily towards global top auto manufacturers.

In Great Wall Motor's May sales data, there is a surprising highlight—the Ora brand.

Ora sold 6,018 units in May, a year-over-year surge of 206.88%, leading all Great Wall brands. In a month where Haval, Tank, and Great Wall Pickup all saw declines, only Wey and Ora maintained growth, with Ora's rebound being particularly outstanding. From January to May, Ora's cumulative sales reached 15,583 units, a year-over-year increase of 46.66%.

Looking back to the beginning of the year, Ora's situation was not easy at that time.

Throughout 2025, Great Wall's cumulative sales reached 1.3237 million vehicles. Most brands grew, but Ora declined by 23.68%, with annual sales shrinking to 48,300 vehicles. At the time, many felt Ora might gradually become marginalized like this.

Entering 2026, the situation once got worse. In January, Ora sold only 2,057 units, down 6.2% year-over-year, remaining the only brand in the group to decline. February saw a drop to 1,263 units, almost hitting rock bottom.

The turning point appeared in March.

On March 12, 2026, the Ora 5 made its global premiere in Bangkok, Thailand. Built on Great Wall's new "Guiyuan" platform, this platform's biggest feature is supporting pure electric, hybrid, and fuel power forms simultaneously. For a small car brand that originally insisted on "pure electric all the way," this step was not easy, but in hindsight, it was quite a pragmatic move.

On April 25, the Ora 5 Hybrid and Fuel versions were officially launched at the Beijing Auto Show. In May, all three power versions worked together. Ora's brand sales rose from around 2,000 units at the beginning of the year to 6,018 units in May.

It is less about market preference and more that Ora finally found a way closer to users.

In the 2026 new energy market, it is not as hot as the previous two years. Overall new energy passenger vehicle sales for the first four months declined over 10% year-over-year, especially small electric cars below 100,000 yuan, where the decline was close to half.

Ora 5 did three relatively solid things.

First, returning the choice to users. The pure electric version is left for city commuting and policy needs. The fuel version covers areas where charging is not convenient. The hybrid version balances cost and convenience with a tested 3.74 liters per 100 km fuel consumption. Three power forms correspond to three different life scenarios. The Guiyuan platform disassembles the vehicle structure into 49 core modules and 329 shared components, with a part commonality rate exceeding 70%, allowing Great Wall to develop three versions simultaneously at a relatively low cost.

Second, pricing is relatively pragmatic. Ora 5 Fuel version suggested retail price starts at 79,800 yuan, limited-time new swap price starts at 69,800 yuan during launch; Hybrid version suggested retail price starts at 89,800 yuan, limited-time new swap price starts at 79,800 yuan; Pure electric version guidance price falls in the 99,800 to 133,800 yuan range. Under the background of purchase tax halved and battery prices rising, this price points to the most sensitive interval for many families buying cars.

Safety was not compromised. Ora 5 all models adopt cage body structure and five-layer battery safety protection system. Great Wall Motor Chairman Wei Jianjun emphasized in introducing the Guiyuan platform that "Life First, Safety Supreme" is the platform's core philosophy. For a small car, this is quite rare.

According to the plan of Ora Brand General Manager Lu Wenbin, 2026 will be Ora's product year. Ora will maintain a pace of launching one new car per month. Relying on the Guiyuan platform, it will continue to launch products with multiple power versions like pure electric, hybrid, and fuel. It will also expand to various body forms such as Hatchbacks and Sedans and SUVs, perfecting the product matrix.

From the revealed plans so far, the Ora 5 is just a starting point. Lu Wenbin explicitly stated that the Ora 5 Family will cover multiple niche categories including A-segment SUV, A-segment Sedan/Hatchback, A+ segment SUV, A0 segment Coupe, providing multiple power forms like fuel, pure electric, and hybrid.

This means Ora is transforming from a "small car brand" to a "brand covering multiple niche categories". The Guiyuan platform provides the technical foundation for this expansion. The platform is compatible with five power forms, covering 7 major categories including Sedan, SUV, Off-road SUV, Pickup, MPV, Sports Car, etc. It is expected to launch over 50 global models. This platform's 70% part commonality rate makes multi-power, multi-category product layout possible in terms of cost and efficiency.

At the same time, Ora is also upgrading existing models. Lu Wenbin explicitly denied rumors of classic models exiting the market. "Good Cat, Ballet Cat and other classic models remain very popular. For example, Ballet Cat sells very well in Shanghai, and can be seen everywhere on the streets." He stated that these models will not stop production. Ora will continue to iteratively upgrade them. Some models will also undergo power upgrades, maintaining the classic user base while attracting new users. Additionally, in 2026, the Ora brand will also undergo intelligent upgrades for its on-sale models Ballet Cat and Flash Cat.

In terms of brand architecture, Ora and Salon have completed integration, and Salon's model Mech Dragon has moved into the Ora community. Through deep collaboration of the dual brands, Great Wall hopes to cover a more complete price range in the pure electric field, extending from Ora's mainstream market to Salon's planned high-end luxury market.

Ora's other important battlefield is overseas.

Currently, the Ora 5 has started shipping to Brazil and Europe, and will be launched in these markets successively in the near future. Great Wall Motor plans to achieve 40% sales growth in the Thai market in 2026, and has added 10 billion Thai Baht investment for this purpose. The Ora 5 is the key vehicle to achieve this goal.

According to the plan, starting from Thailand, Ora will further expand to Europe, Oceania, Middle East, Latin America, Africa and other markets. In Great Wall Motor's overall overseas layout, the overseas progress is accelerating, and Ora has become an important source of incremental sales after Haval.

More worth noting is that Ora's understanding of the overseas market no longer stays at the level of "exporting products". The brand positioning has shifted from "New Energy Vehicle that Loves Women More" to "Global Fashion Boutique Car Brand". Communication advocacy has been upgraded to "Live Up Your Shine". Facing global young users, adapting to the real needs of different markets with a more open product logic.

Of course, looking at it calmly, this 206.88% year-over-year growth rate is partly because the base of the same period last year was indeed low (1,961 units). A monthly sales volume of 6,018 units still has room compared to the high point when Ora brand monthly sales exceeded 10,000 in 2021.

Additionally, current growth mainly relies on one new car, the Ora 5. Taking the retail data of the first four months of this year as an example, Ora 5 Pure Electric sold 4,464 units, Good Cat sold 2,629 units, while Ballet Cat sold only 4 units. The resilience driven by a single vehicle needs time to test. But Ora has obviously realized this. Its dense product planning and matrix expansion are active responses to this risk.

But regardless, Ora has walked out of the coldest winter. In this May where Great Wall's overall sales are not yet clear, Ora proved its value of still being needed by users with a mild rebound. This is probably the most comforting item in this monthly report.

It can no longer be concealed. Recently, the viral Denza Z9 GT Chopard Edition has pushed BYD's bespoke journey to a new height.

As a unique top-tier bespoke one-of-a-kind piece, this car debuted at the Cannes amfAR Charity Gala and was sold via auction hammer at a high price of 700,000 Euros (approximately 5.5256 million RMB), allowing Chinese automotive bespoke craftsmanship to officially gain recognition from the global ultra-luxury circle.

For reference, the Denza Z9 GT domestic price starts at 269,800, while the European price starts at 117,500 Euros (approx. 927,500 RMB).

Chopard was founded in 1860, specializing in high-end watch and jewelry design and production, renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and fashionable dynamic design style. Co-created with Chopard, the Denza Z9 GT Chopard also became a "jewelry artwork on wheels".

[Denza Z9 GT Chopard]

The Denza Z9 GT Chopard features Chopard exclusive gold strips accenting the exterior appearance, possessing the shimmering texture of top-tier jewelry.

The interior is inlaid with Chopard-sourced precious amethyst, fully revealing luxury under the play of light and shadow.

Additionally, seat headrests use exquisite hand embroidery, engraved with the iconic "C" logo; welcome light carpet, wireless charging panel, center control theme interface and other details also fully integrate Chopard brand exclusive elements.

Furthermore, Chopard specifically presented two timepieces, forming an "His & Hers" exclusive watch set.

Both timepieces are crafted in rose 18K gold, jointly interpreting precision, elegance, and contemporary luxury.

Among them, the dial of the Happy Sport series 36mm watch features brilliant diamonds adorned with snow setting craftsmanship, and integrated with Denza Z9GT patterns; the Alpine Eagle series 41mm watch uses a vintage minimalist classic design, and integrates Denza exclusive elements on the case back.

Additionally, leather designer Shiro also handcrafted exclusive luggage sets for it, making Z9GT beyond the vehicle itself, becoming part of a complete luxurious lifestyle and artistic vision.

[Entering a Favorable Phase]

From the Z9GT launch at Paris Opera this April to this appearance at Cannes amfAR Charity Gala, Denza in the European market is not just talking about specifications and parameters, but using luxurious lifestyle as a link to knock open the door of European celebrity circles.

And the 700,000 Euro sky-high transaction price is even better proof of Chinese high-end new energy vehicle strength.

Of course, we also know that Denza Z9 GT Chopard is not BYD's first attempt in the bespoke market.

As the pinnacle work of YangWang Automotive, YangWang U9 Xtreme is globally limited to 30 units, with a price exceeding 20 million RMB. Upon debut, it was snapped up by global top collectors, with Thai private collector Mr. Pratarnwong Phornprapha, Brazilian famous racer Leo Sanchez and other international celebrities all being its owners.

When domestic high-end models can fetch high prices in the international market, when Chinese brand customization capability rivals world top levels, the high-end era belonging to Chinese cars has already arrived.

From YangWang U9 Xtreme creating collectible supercars with ultimate performance, to Denza Z9 GT Chopard Edition reaching the top of the global ultra-luxury circle with international collaboration, BYD's bespoke journey advances layer by layer, clear and firm, and will surely bloom more brilliance of Eastern luxury in the future.

Folks, today let's talk about big news on going global—not selling cars, but selling "drivers". On June 2, WeRide and Uber jointly announced a plan: to launch the country's first commercial Robotaxi pilot service in Madrid, Spain. In other words: Spanish residents will soon be able to hail a driverless taxi via Uber. This is the first time WeRide and Uber are partnering to enter the European market. Madrid also becomes the 12th city globally where WeRide's Robotaxi arrives.

According to official news, with the support of the Madrid regional government, this service will officially launch within this year. At that time, friends in Madrid can open the Uber App and call WeRide's Robotaxi with one click. It's just like calling an ordinary ride-hailing service, the difference is the arriving car has no driver—at least initially, there is still a difference. In the initial operation phase, a professionally trained safety monitor will be on board, as it's just launched, safety comes first.

This company, WeRide, you might have heard of it, or you might not. A brief introduction: Established in 2017, it has been dedicated to Robotaxi technology R&D and commercialization. Currently, its Robotaxis cover Guangzhou, Beijing, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, Zurich... plus Madrid now, totaling 12 cities. Spain is also the 5th European market WeRide has entered—previously entered Switzerland, France, Belgium, Slovakia. According to the plan agreed by WeRide and Uber in May 2025, they plan to deploy Robotaxi services in 15 new international cities within five years, deploying tens of thousands of Robotaxis globally. With the Madrid launch, the deployment in 4 cities has been completed, and 11 more will be covered successively before 2030.

To be honest, it's not the first time Chinese autonomous driving companies are going global, but the combination of Chinese technology + global mobility platform + European market is quite interesting. Madrid is one of the European Robotaxi markets with the most commercial potential, with a large population, high travel demand, and friendly local policies. Being able to take root in this market is a significant milestone for WeRide. For Uber, introducing Robotaxis is also a way to reduce costs—after all, drivers don't need salaries. For Madrid residents, hailing a taxi might be cheaper in the future.

方程豹同比暴漲 139.7% 品牌向上落地見效

騰勢、方程豹、仰望組成的高端矩陣 5 月合計銷售 46489 輛，正式擺脫小眾定位，成為比亞迪品牌溢價與利潤增長新支點，打破自主品牌高端化難破局的行業魔咒。

越野品牌方程豹單月 30186 輛，同比暴漲 139.7%，創下品牌上市以來月度銷量新高，旗下鎦 7 單月 18280 台，豹 5、豹 8 穩定輸出，在 25-40 萬硬派越野細分市場持續擠壓合資、進口車型生存空間。

海外爆發：單月 16.06 萬輛，佔總銷量超四成 成第二增長曲線

5 月比亞迪乘用車和皮卡海外銷量 160177 輛，同比大漲 80.7%，出口佔全系總銷量突破 42%，創下品牌出海歷史新高，成為穩住 5 月整體銷量、實現同比轉正的核心驅動力。

東南亞、歐洲、拉美成為主力增量市場，海鷗、宋 PLUS、元系列持續登頂多國新能源熱銷榜單，SHARK 皮卡連續兩月單月出口突破 4000 台；依托泰國、巴西、匈牙利、烏茲別克斯坦四大海外整車工廠落地投產，本地化生產持續落地，規避關稅同時快速下沉終端渠道。在國內車市存量競爭、價格戰常態化背景下，高速擴容的海外市場有效對沖國內車型換代帶來的銷量波動，正式從補充市場升級為比亞迪核心增長引擎。截至當前，比亞迪新能源汽車全球累計銷量已經突破 1650 萬輛，全球化版圖持續拓寬。

智駕賦能產品迭代 下半年新品蓄力衝量

5 月比亞迪智能化落地迎來關鍵節點，天神之眼智駕系統成為車型核心加分項：全品牌搭載高級智駕車型保有量突破 315 萬輛，日均路測數據超 2 億公里；當月比亞迪落地城市領航、智能泊車雙安全兜底服務，成為全球首家實現兩項智駕兜底的車企，政策落地三天後，搭載天神之眼系統車型的城市 NOA 激活率暴漲 50%，智能化體驗升級直接拉動終端到店訂單轉化，為後續車型持續走量築牢產品競爭力，直面 FSD 入華帶來的智駕市場衝擊。

從數據細節來看，2026 年 1-5 月比亞迪累計銷量 1405039 輛，同比下滑 20.32%，核心誘因是全系主力車型集中換代、第二代閃充刀片電池產能爬坡受限。新款閃充電池升級快充與低溫性能，全系換代車型優先換裝新電池，但產線改造拖累產能釋放，熱門車型訂單積壓、交付延後，一定程度壓縮 5 月交付體量。

隨著二季度末二代刀片電池產能持續釋放，疊加騰勢 N8L、方程豹鎦 7 純電版、海獅 05、夏 L 等多款新車陸續登陸市場，業內普遍預判比亞迪 6 月全品牌銷量有望突破 40 萬輛。依托低端走量鎖份額、高端提利潤、海外衝增量、智能化提產品力的四維發展邏輯，在國內新能源淘汰賽加劇的當下，比亞迪全品類佈局優勢持續放大，坐穩國內新能源龍頭，加速向著全球頭部車企穩步邁進。

In May 2026, Daniel Craig, the former 007 actor who occupies a special place in the hearts of film fans worldwide, drove the Denza Z9 GT in an ad campaign that sparked heated discussion abroad, vividly interpreting the slogan "Technology Drives Elegance".

Even more stunning was the hammer strike of a unique crossover customized vehicle at the Cannes amfAR Charity Gala, the globally unique Denza Z9GT Chopard Edition, which was sold for 700,000 euros (approximately 5.55 million yuan).

When Chinese cars begin to define "elegance" and "scarcity", shouldn't the world update its mindset as well?

At the same time, another piece of news was more influential.

Not long ago, Kantar BrandZ released the global brand value ranking: BYD ranked fifth globally among automotive brands with a brand value of 20.362 billion USD, spiking 41% year-on-year, with the fastest growth for two consecutive years, just a step away from fourth-place Mercedes-Benz.

From the elegance of 007 to the hammer strike at Cannes, and then to the dazzling data of BrandZ, a series of "Global Moments" connected together, outlining a new landscape of the automotive industry led by Chinese brands.

Past: The Sower: That Underrated Decade

The narrative of BYD's "Global Time" must begin with a long decade of sowing.

Time returns to the 2010s, when the industry generally believed that Chinese cars could only fight price wars domestically, but BYD K9 electric buses drove into London, Paris, and Tokyo. It not only obtained strict European entry certifications but also was the first to enter the Japanese market. K9, which became the first global business card for China's new energy vehicles.

Diligence in technology would later evolve into a series of "Global Safety Stories" that went viral.

In 2026, in Jerusalem, a Yuan PLUS encountered a missile attack, the entire vehicle was overturned, the windows shattered, but the A, B, and C pillars were intact, the battery system did not experience thermal runaway, and the 5 people inside safely escaped.

In another incident, a Song PLUS DM-i belonging to a Brazilian owner was shot at by bandits with firearms, bullets failed to penetrate the car body, the driver escaped safely, and later remarked on social media: "It was BYD that saved my life."

"Safety is the ultimate luxury". BYD turned a series of deadly and real battlefield crises into a creed that wins the heart of the whole world.

The accumulation of technology was finally reflected in a full explosion in sales. In 2023, BYD surpassed Tesla to win the global new energy vehicle sales championship for the first time. In April 2026, BYD's 16 millionth new energy vehicle came off the line, from 10 million to 16 million took only 17 months.

The running speed of China's automotive industry on the global racecourse has never been so amazing. But on the world map, what BYD sowed earlier was not just products.

In 2021, BYD's first Southeast Asia factory started production in Thailand; in 2023, the Camaçari, Brazil factory was reborn; in 2025, the Hungary factory rose in Europe. Every move laid solid support for the explosion of the overseas market in the next few years.

Present: 2026, the year of global coronation

In April 2026, the global car market welcomed a historic moment. BYD topped the sales chart for all categories in Brazilian automotive retail with monthly retail sales of 14,911 units and a market share of 12.8%. Volkswagen's 20-year rule in Brazil was ended. Brazilian President Lula also became a BYD owner.

At the same time, the European battlefield was unstoppable. In Italy, BYD surpassed Volkswagen and Tesla to take the top spot in the sub-segment for the first time; in Germany, sales volume grew by more than 647% year-on-year; in the UK and Spain, year-on-year growth exceeded 600%. The Hungary factory is fully operational, with an annual capacity of 150,000 units, becoming the largest Chinese car factory in Europe.

In Southeast Asia, for every 3 pure electric vehicles sold in Thailand, at least 1 is from BYD. The Thailand factory has an annual capacity of 150,000 units, and through the ASEAN internal zero-tariff circulation system, the product touch extends to the entire Southeast Asia region.

Looking globally, in April 2026, BYD overseas sales reached 134,500 units, a year-on-year growth of 70.9%, setting a new record. Cumulative overseas sales from January to April reached 454,300 units, and overseas sales have accounted for more than 40% of the group's total sales. Penetration, scale, growth rate — all three mastered.

Brand Transformation: From Crazy Boasts to a Reality to Be Admired

Once upon a time, many people's impression of BYD stayed on "low-end" and "cheap". Do you remember in 2007, Wang Chuanfu once declared "will be No. 1 globally by 2025", when the audience was full of laughter. But when BYD surpassed Tesla in 2023 to become the global new energy vehicle sales champion, that seemingly crazy boast has been fulfilled ahead of schedule.

When Yangwang U9 Xtreme broke the global mass-produced car speed record with an actual measured top speed of 496.22 km/h, ran 6 minutes 59 seconds on the Nürburgring to become the first pure electric mass-produced vehicle to break the 7-minute mark, with a selling price of over 20 million and truly delivered to users, people's cognition underwent a thorough turnaround. Chinese cars have finally gained pricing power in the supercar field for the first time.

At the same time, the 5th Generation DM hybrid system was further evolved, with NEDC low-battery fuel consumption per 100km dropping to 2.6 liters, a full tank and full battery combined range of 2,100 kilometers, achieving "a tank of fuel from Beijing straight to Shenzhen".

The 2nd Generation Blade Battery and Flash Charge technology launched in March 2026 dropped a bombshell in the recharging link. Wang Chuanfu boldly declared on the spot: "5 minutes to full charge, 9 minutes to full, plus only 3 minutes at minus 30 degrees."

The leap in brand value is the most direct evidence. From appearing on the BrandZ Global Automotive list for the first time in 2022 ranked eighth, to reaching fifth place in 2026, BYD has used four years to grow from a "newcomer" to a core role in the global automotive brand camp.

Conclusion

Brand, Performance, Market, Cultural Premium — BYD is rewriting the landscape of the global automotive industry simultaneously on four dimensions. Boundaries between traditional and non-traditional are dissolving, ecological niches of innovators and vested interests are being reshaped.

In the pinnacle showdown of this "King of Industries", no Chinese enterprise has ever walked so deeply and so confidently.

In the past, the world saw BYD; now, the world chooses BYD; in the future, the world will watch BYD together.

This is BYD's Global Time.
