Chery Surpasses 20 Million Global Vehicle Sales
Chery Group has reached 20 million cumulative global vehicle sales, marking a major milestone in the automotive manufacturer’s continued international growth.
The achievement reflects Chery’s expansion from a newly established manufacturer in 1997 into a global automotive group serving customers across more than 130 countries and regions.

From Chery’s first vehicle to 20 million global sales
According to Chery Group’s official milestone announcement, cumulative global sales passed 20 million vehicles on 25 July 2026.
The milestone arrived 29 years after the company was founded and represents another important stage in Chery’s development as an international automotive manufacturer.
Chery’s 20 millionth vehicle was the all-new Fulwin, a long-range electric model that shares its name with the company’s first production vehicle. The original Fulwin was also among Chery’s earliest vehicles to enter overseas markets, creating a symbolic connection between the brand’s beginnings and its future direction.
While the Fulwin is not part of the current Australian Chery range, local customers can check available new and demo Chery vehicles at Tynan Chery Wollongong.
Chery’s international growth continues
Chery says its vehicles are now sold in more than 130 countries and regions, with almost seven million owners located outside China. Overseas customers represent approximately 35 per cent of the group’s total global owner base.
During the first half of 2026, Chery Group exported approximately 943,800 vehicles, representing a 71.5 per cent increase compared with the same period in 2025. That equates to an average of one Chery-built vehicle exported every 17 seconds.
The company attributes its international growth to ongoing investment in vehicle development, manufacturing, intelligent technology, battery systems, electrification and advanced powertrains.
Investment in technology and innovation
Chery’s global technology portfolio now includes more than 400 advanced technologies spanning battery development, intelligent driving, connected cabin systems and Chery Super Hybrid technology.
This investment is supporting the development of petrol, hybrid and electric vehicles for a wide range of international markets. It also reflects Chery’s aim to grow beyond traditional vehicle manufacturing and become a broader mobility and technology company.

The company made its debut in the 2026 Fortune China 500 rankings, placing 87th overall. Chery also reported the highest return on equity among automotive manufacturers included in the ranking.
