Chery Auto Surpasses 20 Million Global Sales
KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- Global automotive manufacturer, Chery Automobile Co Ltd (Chery Auto) announced that its cumulative global sales had surpassed 20 million units, marking another milestone in the company's global expansion.
The milestone coincided with Chery Auto's debut in the 2026 Fortune China 500 as a publicly listed company, where it ranked 87th and topped automakers in return on equity (ROE), reflecting its strong profitability and global operations.
The company was also named to the Kantar BrandZ Top 50 Chinese Global Brand Builders for the ninth consecutive year and retained the top position in the automotive category in 2026.
Building on this momentum, Chery Auto in a statement said its mid-to-premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand, LEPAS, is accelerating its global expansion with the rollout of new NEV models.
The LEPAS L6 EV, an all-electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) designed for intelligent urban living, was officially launched on July 24 in Thailand, while the LEPAS L8 PHEV officially went on sale in Indonesia on July 26.
Looking ahead, LEPAS plans to expand further in the third quarter of 2026 with the LEPAS L8 PHEV, LEPAS L6 EV, LEPAS L6 PHEV and LEPAS L4 EV entering markets across Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, Africa and the Middle East.
The brand will leverage Chery Group's global ecosystem in vehicle manufacturing, components, embodied AI robotics and intelligent technologies to localise its research and development, manufacturing, sales and after-sales operations.
The milestone of 20 million global sales marks a significant achievement for Chery Auto and a new chapter in LEPAS’s global expansion as the brand continues to strengthen its presence through localised operations.
