Chery Auto Monthly Overseas Sales 2025-2026

Exports were the dominant component of August volume, with 187,154 vehicles shipped to overseas markets. That represented 71.16% of total monthly sales and made international demand the primary contributor to the company's August result. However, overseas sales declined 4.66% from July, indicating that the monthly export pace eased sequentially even as the year-over-year performance remained positive. The contrast between strong international contribution and the monthly decline highlights the importance of overseas markets to Chery Auto's overall sales structure and growth profile.

Sales in China reached 75,836 vehicles in August, increasing 15.67% from July. The sequential improvement provided a stronger domestic contribution during the month, although Chinese sales remained substantially below overseas volume. The August figures therefore reinforce the company's reliance on international markets for overall sales scale. The domestic result is also important when viewed against the broader group data, where China sales continued to face pressure during the first eight months. Together, the monthly and cumulative figures show a clear difference between the company's international expansion and its domestic sales performance.

NEV Sales Reach 113,262 Vehicles

New energy vehicle sales reached 113,262 units in August, accounting for 43.07% of total Chery Auto sales.

The monthly figures also show a substantial rise through the first half of 2026, with NEV sales reaching 103,428 vehicles in June and 119,441 vehicles in July before easing to 113,262 units in August. The data indicates that NEVs remained an important part of the company's sales performance during the period.

Overseas markets remained the principal driver of Chery Group's growth. Exports accounted for 70.32% of August group sales, compared with 53.34% a year earlier.

The group also reported that cumulative exports reached 7.18 million by the end of August, making it the first Chinese automaker to surpass the 7 million mark. The export figures highlight the scale of the group's international expansion.

Domestic Sales Decline Despite August Sequential Improvement

Based on the reported figures, Chery Group's domestic sales in August were 83,144 vehicles, down about 26.6% year-over-year but up about 12% from July. The domestic decline contrasts sharply with the group's export performance and provides further evidence that recent growth remained heavily dependent on overseas markets. During the first eight months, the group sold about 571,000 vehicles domestically, representing a decline of about 38%. At the same time, total group sales reached 1,914,481 vehicles, up 10.84% year-over-year.

The figures show that electrified vehicles were becoming an increasingly important contributor to group sales alongside international expansion. The August result also exceeded the 100,000-unit threshold that the group had maintained for the preceding four months. The cumulative performance provides additional evidence of strong growth in the group's NEV business during the period.

Europe Becomes a Major Overseas Growth Market

Europe remained a key market for the group's international expansion. From January through July, Chery sold more than 208,000 vehicles across 24 European countries, representing a 201% year-over-year increase. NEV sales in the region exceeded 101,000 vehicles during the same period, rising more than 330% year-over-year. Chery also said that the Jaecoo 7, Jaecoo 5 and Omoda 5 each appeared among the 10 best-selling models in the United Kingdom this year. The regional results indicate that Europe was an important destination for the group's overseas volume and NEV expansion during the period.

Global User Base Surpasses 20.44 Million

By the end of August, Chery Group had more than 20.44 million users worldwide, including more than 7.18 million overseas users. The overseas user base is consistent with the group's growing dependence on international markets, which accounted for 70.32% of August group sales. The cumulative export milestone of 7.18 million vehicles also highlights the scale of the group's international footprint. Taken together, the sales, export and user figures show a business increasingly supported by markets outside China, while NEV growth provides another major source of expansion across the broader Chery portfolio.
