Just to recap, the Chery Group was founded in 1997, sells vehicles in over 100 countries worldwide (except the US), and is the fourth largest automobile manufacturing group in China, having produced over 2.6 million vehicles in 2024.
In readiness for the 2025 edition of the Chery User Summit, the Group is marking a significant new milestone – confirming more than two million global vehicle sales in the first three quarters of 2025. Representing a 14.5% year-on-year increase, this achievement also marks a record pace for the company in reaching this milestone. The result underscores the Group’s continued global momentum and reflects the strength of its strategy built on innovation, technology, and user-centred design.
In September alone, Chery Group delivered 280,469 vehicles worldwide, up 14.7% year-on-year, with new energy vehicles (NEVs) accounting for 91,590 units – a 55.4% increase over the same period last year. This marks the fifth consecutive month in which Chery Group exports have exceeded 100,000 units, reaffirming its position as China’s leading vehicle exporter for 22 consecutive years.
Across its global line-up, demand for advanced, intelligent, and efficient vehicles continues to grow. Flagship model ranges such as the Chery Tiggo line have strengthened the company’s reputation for quality and design. In Europe and countries including Australia, the Group’s footprint continues to expand, with new market entries in Poland, Greece, and Romania, and record sales across the region. In the UK, the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 headline the brand’s introduction, offering everyday versatility tailored to British drivers.
As of the end of September, Chery Group has served over 17.72 million users worldwide, including more than 5.43 million international users. Meanwhile, the company’s “Endless Horizon Worry-Free Voyage” CSH (Chery Super Hybrid) Global Endurance Test is continuing its cross-continental journey – from Africa through ten Latin American countries to seven European nations – consistently demonstrating the adaptability and reliability of Chery’s hybrid technology in real-world, global situations.
Building on this momentum, Chery’s international growth strategy has now entered a new phase. The company not only maintains its position as China’s top passenger vehicle exporter for the 22nd consecutive year, but has also achieved three major industry firsts: becoming the first Chinese brand to export more than 130,000 vehicles in a single month, the first to achieve cumulative exports exceeding five million units, and the first to sustain monthly exports above 100,000 units for five months in a row.
Alongside its commercial success, safety remains central to the Group’s philosophy. Guided by the principle “Safety, for Family”, every model undergoes rigorous testing in varied environments – from collision trials in South Africa to extreme-temperature testing in Latin America and the Middle East. To date, 51 Chery Group models have achieved five-star safety certifications worldwide – now including the CHERY TIGGO 7 and CHERY TIGGO 8 in the UK, both recognised with five-star Euro NCAP ratings.
The same forward-thinking approach to innovation also continues to extend beyond the automotive sphere. At the Chery User Summit, the Group’s AiMOGA Robotics division is showcasing Mornine – a humanoid robot that has become the first in the world to obtain full EU certification covering both hardware and software. Mornine holds three key accreditations: CE-MD (Machinery Safety), CE-RED (Radio Equipment), and EN 18031 (Cybersecurity & Data Protection), reflecting Chery’s expanding expertise in intelligent engineering and future technologies.
CARLIST THOUGHTS
With global sales already surpassing two million vehicles this year, Chery Group is becoming an influential force in the car world. With its growing lineup of NEV cars, the brand is making serious inroads into the European market with its EVs and cost-effective vehicles that deliver innovation, technology, and user-centric thinking that views with the best from Europe.
