with the strong outbreak of new energy vehicles, chinese automobile companies have also developed rapidly, not only continuing to sell well in the domestic market, but also performing well in overseas markets. chinese cars are very popular in southeast asia, south asia, the middle east, latin america, europe, australia, russia and other regions and countries.

recently, former thai prime minister pini zarusongpa said in an interview with the media: the market share of chinese electric vehicles in thailand is growing rapidly and there are not enough to sell. thai people also welcome chinese electric vehicles.

in 2023, the number of electric vehicles in thailand has reached 76,300, more than seven times the previous year. among the more than 70,000 electric vehicles, chinese brands account for about 80% of the market share, while japanese brands account for only 1%. not only that, among the top ten most popular electric models in thailand in 2023, 8 are chinese brands.

let's take a look at another important market: russia. recently, china automotive industry research institute released the russian car brand sales list for august. this publicly disclosed list shows that among the top ten car companies in terms of sales, chinese domestic cars occupy 9 seats. except for the russian local brand lada, the rest of the car companies are chinese brands. these include great wall haval, chery, geely, changan, etc. chery has multiple brands on the list.

specifically, lada brand sold 38,564 vehicles in august, up 34.4% year-on-year, accounting for 26% of the russian market. haval (market share 12.5%), chery (market share 11.2%), geely (market share 9.8%), changan (market share 7.7%), the four major automakers, all sold more than 10,000 vehicles in the russian market in august, ranking second to fifth.

from the sixth to the tenth place, except for the ninth place belgee, the other four brands are all sub-brands of chery in russia. omenda, jetour and xingtu are relatively familiar to domestic consumers, while jaecoo is chery's high-end brand in the overseas market. jaecoo's new masterpiece j7 suv, in addition to performing well in russia, also performs well in overseas markets such as brazil.

according to the list data, among the top ten car companies in russia in august, five chery brands accounted for half of the market, with a total sales of more than 30,000 vehicles, reaching 31,292 vehicles, second only to the russian lada brand. this shows that chery's global status as an overseas leader is unshakable.

we can see from the top ten list of best-selling models in the russian market in august released by china automotive data research institute that four lada models are on the list, chery and haval also have two models each, and changan and geely monjaro each occupy one place.

haval jolion (named haval first love in china) is not very popular in china, but it is very popular in the russian market, with monthly sales of 8,955 units, a year-on-year increase of 69.5%, second only to lada's granta and vesta, becoming the most popular chinese brand model. in addition, haval m6 also entered the top ten of the list.

in addition, domestic models such as tiggo 7 pro max, tiggo 4 pro, changan cs55 plus and geely monjaro (named xingyue l in china) also entered the top ten of the best-selling models. according to a survey by russian automobile analysis agency autostat: as of july 2024, the number of chinese-branded passenger cars registered in russia has reached 1.86 million, accounting for 4% of the total russian automobile market. many friends who have been to russia have lamented that chinese cars are very common on russian streets.

data shows that chery has 444,700 vehicles in russia, making it the chinese brand with the highest number of vehicles. geely auto ranks second with 341,100 vehicles. haval ranks third with 296,000 vehicles. in addition, brands such as changan also have good numbers of vehicles.

compared with the international auto market, the domestic market is more involuted. major global auto brands are competing in the domestic market, and chinese auto brands are doing their utmost to continue the involutio. many chinese brands have set their sights on the international market to shift the pressure of the domestic market and help chinese brands increase their influence in overseas markets.
