Geely Auto Delivers 235,164 Units in April 2026; Exports Surge 245% YoY, NEV Penetration Hits 57.7%

Geely Auto Group has released its sales report for April 2026. Despite fierce market competition, the group continued to show strong resilience, recording 235,164 vehicle deliveries for the month. The most impressive highlight was overseas exports, which skyrocketed by 245% year-on-year.

Brand Matrix Breakthrough: NEV Penetration Nears 60% 

Thanks to Geely's "Multi-brand, High-quality" strategy, all its sub-brands performed strongly in April.

• Geely Galaxy: Delivered 91,001 units, up 10% month-on-month, leading the mainstream New Energy Vehicle (NEV) segment.
• ZEEKR: The premium EV brand achieved 31,787 units, a massive 132% increase year-on-year.
• Lynk & Co: Recorded 22,755 units, maintaining its strong position in the PHEV segment.
• Geely Star (China Star) Series: Contributed 89,621 units, providing stable support from ICE models.

In April, Geely's total NEV sales reached 136,000 units, achieving a penetration rate of 57.7% — a clear testament to the group's successful transformation into a global leader in electrification.

Export Strength: Over 80,000 Units in One Month

Geely's export volume hit a record 83,186 units in April, representing explosive 245% year-on-year growth. This strong performance highlights the global recognition of Geely's advanced platforms, such as SEA and CMA.

Strong Synergy with Proton in Malaysia

As Geely's key strategic partner in Southeast Asia, Proton also posted impressive results for April.

• Total Sales: 18,156 units (domestic + export)
• Year-on-Year Growth: +40.9%
• Market Share: Estimated at 26.4% of Malaysia's Total Industry Volume (TIV)

The Proton Saga remained a top performer with 8,207 units sold, while the new e.MAS sub-brand achieved a record 3,420 units. The e.MAS 7 PHEV emerged as the best-selling PHEV in Malaysia for the month.

Editor's Take 

Geely's robust global growth — particularly the sharp rise in NEV and export figures — is excellent news for Malaysian consumers. As more advanced PHEV and EV technologies are shared within the group, we can expect even more competitive and locally assembled products, such as the Proton e.MAS 7, to reach Malaysian roads in the near future.
