When it comes to domestic car brands, many people's impression may still be stuck at the stage of mainstream family cars. However, this is already old news from a few years ago. You should know that current domestic car brands not only beat joint venture brands in the domestic market, but have also surpassed foreign car brands on multiple tracks such as high-end development and overseas exports. Take the Geely Automobile we are talking about today for example.
Growth Momentum Leads the Industry
According to the latest data released by the official, Geely Automobile's cumulative sales in May reached 237,637 vehicles. It achieved double growth year-on-year and month-on-month for three consecutive months, leading the overall market with stable growth and impressive results. However, compared to this already excellent total performance, many industry insiders, after seeing the sales results of each brand under Geely Automobile, will be amazed that its quality is also getting higher.
As is well known, there are two hardest markets in the automotive industry: the luxury high-end market and the overseas export market.
Taking Geely Automobile as an example, its "Global Luxury Technology Brand" — Zeekr Automobile, reached deliveries of 34,377 vehicles in May, an 81.8% increase year-on-year and an 8.1% increase month-on-month, achieving double growth for four consecutive months. The average transaction price per vehicle also increased by 52.4% year-on-year. What is even more shocking is that the sales share of Zeekr 9 Series and 8 Series, which are priced as high as 400,000 to 500,000, accounts for nearly 50%!
Not only that, Geely Automobile's "Global New Energy High-End Brand" — Lynk & Co, also achieved May sales of 20,732 vehicles, with new energy vehicle sales accounting for 70.8%, and the brand's cumulative sales have broken 1.8 million. This shows that Geely Automobile's high-end models have not only won the recognition of a large number of consumers with excellent product power, but have also completed the transformation of volume and price rising together at the brand level.
Of course, as the undisputed leading automotive enterprise in China, Geely Automobile's focus is no longer limited to the domestic market. It chose to go global to challenge the more difficult overseas market. This is not the case, May's overseas export achievement of 85,144 vehicles set a new record for export sales. It is worth mentioning that the hot-selling products of Geely Automobile brands overseas are also mostly high-end or new energy vehicles.
For example, Zeekr has entered more than 50 countries and regions, and the cumulative global delivery volume of Zeekr 7X has exceeded 160,000 vehicles; Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i remained the champion of new energy plug-in hybrid SUV sales in Kazakhstan for March and April; Geely Galaxy E5 remained the champion of pure electric SUV-C market sales in Australia, Argentina, UAE, Morocco, and Uruguay for the first quarter, and stayed in the top three in Brazil, Uzbekistan, and Indonesia new energy pure electric SUV-C models!
Hardcore Strength Creates Brilliance
Obviously, whether it is the rapid sales growth trend, or the hot sales in new energy, high-end market and overseas market, it is inseparable from hard strength as support. Taking Lynk & Co Automobile as the first car racing brand in China for example, top technology shouldn't just stay on the marketing level, but must be proven on the track. Therefore, it recently announced carrying 03+ TCR Racer, 03++ Racer, and 03 CUP EVO three racing cars to participate in TCR China, CTCC China Cup, and Lynk & Co Cup three major events simultaneously.
With hardcore strength, Lynk & Co naturally fears no high-difficulty tests. In the two-round finals of TCR China, the 03+ TCR Racer achieved the results of 4 championships, 1 runner-up, and 2 third-place finishes with its hardcore performance strength; in the CTCC China Cup, the Lynk & Co Zongheng Racing Team even achieved the results of 2 championships, 2 runner-ups, and 1 third-place finish. At the same time, in the 2026 Season FIA TCR World Tour opener, the Starri TCR Racer of Geely China Star Racing Team (Geely Cyan Racing) also won the race in the final and brought back the historical first win. This not only means that Starri TCR has world-class competitiveness, but also marks that Geely China Star Racing Team has officially completed the first chapter of the Geely Automobile Sports New Era.
At the same time, in technical levels such as intelligence and safety, the Haohan inherited Geely and Volvo safety heritage, assisted driving mileage grew by 215% in one year, leading the entire industry with the fastest growth rate. In the recent Euro NCAP official test, Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i (Geely STARRAY EM-i) successfully completed the exceeding standard bilateral serial limit crash test at the France UTAC Laboratory. This not only intuitively confirms Geely's leading vehicle safety technology and mature systematic safety strength, but also lays a solid foundation for Chinese automotive safety technology to go international and participate in global industry standards!
Daxia Car Talk: I believe many people, after seeing Geely Automobile's sales data, will have the praise "It's too comprehensive" in mind. After all, car enterprises that can achieve impressive results in new energy, high-end, overseas exports, and even on the track at the same time, let alone in the independent domestic brand circle, you can't even find a few car enterprises in the global automotive industry that can achieve these things simultaneously!
