On May 28, SAIC Motor completed the global 100 millionth new vehicle delivery ceremony, becoming the first automotive manufacturer in China to break 100 million in sales. From the establishment of the Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Parts Manufacturing Company in 1955 to 1958, workers hammered out the first "Phoenix" brand sedan off the production line. Having gone through more than 71 years of development, SAIC Motor now possesses more than 10 whole vehicle brands, with products covering categories from sedans, SUVs, MPVs, to commercial vehicles.

From January to April 2026 alone, SAIC's cumulative sales reached 1.302 million units, ranking as the sales champion among Chinese automakers for four consecutive months.
