China's First 100 Million-Level Automaker Emerges

Journey of 100 Million Together: SAIC Motor Welcomes Global 100 Millionth User

May 28, 2026, SAIC Motor's "Global 100 Millionth User Handover Ceremony" was held at Shanghai North Bund World Living Room. More than 10 vehicle brands and 19 models under SAIC, via "Global Relay Delivery", traversed mountains and seas, crossed continents, and connected globally. SAIC Motor thus became the first Chinese automotive group to exceed 100 million in cumulative production and sales, setting a new milestone for China's automotive industry.

From "Phoenix" to "IM": 100 Million Vehicles Witness the Striving and Original Aspiration of China's Automotive Industry

In 1955, Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Parts Manufacturing Company was established, marking the start of Shanghai's automotive industry. In 1958, workers hammered out the first "Phoenix" brand sedan, achieving the breakthrough of "zero" in Shanghai sedan manufacturing.

Over 70 years, SAIC has personally experienced and promoted the entire process of China's automotive industry from nothing to something, from weak to strong: Santana went off the line in 1983, opening joint venture cooperation; Shanghai GM was established in 1997, creating the "Shanghai Speed" of building a factory and producing vehicles in 23 months; the independent brand Roewe was born in 2006; in 2016, the world's first Internet car Roewe RX5 was launched; in 2020, the high-end smart electric brand IM Motors was established.

Running through this journey is SAIC's consistent user philosophy of "Knows Cars, Knows You Better". Knowing cars is the extreme pursuit of core technologies; knowing you is precisely implementing every cutting-edge technology into a perceptible and enjoyable mobility experience for users. From Santana localization consortium to Joint Venture 2.0 technology co-creation, from Internet cars to full electronic chassis, solid/semi-solid batteries, and large AI models on cars — every leap is an upgrade in the capability of "knowing cars", and a inheritance of the original aspiration of "knowing you". 100 million vehicles is also a concentrated redemption of 100 million users' trust.

The 100 Millionth Vehicle: IM LS9 Hyper, Condensing 70+ Years of SAIC Technology

The first 100 millionth vehicle delivery model, IM LS9 Hyper, is a masterpiece condensing SAIC's 70+ years of technical accumulation, opening a new era of "New Three Major Components" for new energy vehicles. It is equipped with next-generation chassis technology, the world's first full electronic four-wheel steering in its class; next-generation intelligent driving hardware, 520-line ultra-view LiDAR + NVIDIA Thor chip; next-generation powertrain — global 800V high-voltage platform and Stellar Super Range Extension. It fully pre-embedded redundancy capabilities for continuous evolution towards L3 and above advanced intelligent driving. At the same time, IM LS9 Hyper is the first to搭载 SAIC Gold Badge Hurricane Three-Motor, effortlessly joining the Performance 3-second Club; combined with Zijinshan Laboratory, it globally debuted the "Endogenous Security" technology, expanding the automotive safety boundary from "Physical Safety" to "Information and System Safety", a necessary safety cornerstone of the AI era.

The 100 Millionth User, Momenta CEO Cao Xudong, is SAIC's core strategic partner in the intelligent driving field. The intelligent driving technology co-created in-depth has empowered multiple brands of independent and joint ventures. "Partners Become Owners" is not only a satisfactory delivery between manufacturer and user, but also a deep resonance between intelligent automotive ecosystem partners.

System Strength: SAIC's Full Brand Matrix Global Relay Delivery

Behind the 100 million vehicles is SAIC's full value chain closed loop covering six sectors: vehicles, parts, mobility and service, finance, international operations, and innovative technology. From January to April 2026, SAIC cumulatively sold 1.302 million units, ranking first in China's automotive sales for four consecutive months. Among them, independent brand sales were 910,000 units, accounting for nearly 70%; new energy vehicle sales were 412,000 units; overseas market sales were 459,000 units, a year-on-year surge of 50.2%.

At the delivery ceremony site, SAIC's full brand and full product matrix worked together. Independent brands went all out: Shangjie Z7, Huajing S, Roewe M7, MG4 Semi-Solid Battery Version, Wuling Starlight 560, Maxus eDeliver5, Hongyan Heavy Truck, Yuejin Danan T1, Sunwin Pure Electric Bus, IVECO Juxing EV, etc., were delivered successively, covering diversified scenarios such as personal travel, family life, commercial operations, and logistics transport. Joint venture brands concentratedly revealed "Joint Venture 2.0" results: Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X will globally debut equipped with Momenta R7 Reinforcement Learning World Model, delivering more than 7,000 units one month after launch; AUDI E7X plans to become AUDI's first global model to realize L3-level autonomous driving landing; Buick Zhijing E7 is built based on the "Xiaoyao" Super Fusion Architecture, delivering over 10,000 units one month after launch.

Departing from Shanghai's main venue, delivery scenes were lit up in succession in multiple domestic cities such as Nanjing, Liuzhou, Taiyuan, and countries such as the UK, Indonesia, and Singapore, pioneering a new narrative method for Chinese automotive brands. Behind this lies SAIC's deep foundation in global layout. SAIC is a pioneer of Chinese automotive enterprises "going out": it has over 100 parts production bases and over 3,000 distributor networks overseas, built 3 major R&D innovation centers including London, and 4 production and manufacturing centers in Thailand, Indonesia, India, and Pakistan; Anji Logistics owns 42 RoRo ships, with 8 international routes covering Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Nowadays, SAIC's products and services are distributed in over 170 countries and regions, with overseas cumulative sales exceeding 7 million units. SAIC MG has been ranked first in Chinese brand Europe sales for 11 consecutive years; in 2025, Europe annual sales exceeded 300,000 units, becoming the first Chinese automotive brand to exceed 1 million cumulative sales in Europe and the UK. In March this year, MG held a Technology Day in Frankfurt, Germany, globally debuting semi-solid batteries and Hybrid+ hybrid technology, with the Hybrid+ family's overseas monthly sales exceeding 20,000 units. In 2025, SAIC released the overseas "Glocal Strategy" (Global + Local), accelerating the shift from "Product Going Overseas" to "Value Chain Going Overseas", letting "Made in China Intelligence" move further into the world.

From "Know Cars" to "Know You": A Delivery Ceremony Where Users Take Center Stage

The final foothold of "Knows Cars, Knows You Better" is the mobility life of every real user. Luo Zhenyu, founder of Dedao APP, as the No. 001 Experience Officer of Huajing S, praised Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving in the New Year's Eve speech to visiting the factory to witness roll-off; former German national team player Yang Chen chose ID. ERA 9X, as its golden range extension and long-termism coincided; after Cao Kailiang's family ordered a car, idol Jay Chou happened to become the Buick MPV family spokesperson; charity blogger Liu Jia cut hair and gave companionship to left-behind children in Guangxi mountains for five consecutive years, Buick provided aid immediately, he was moved by Zhijing E7's "Full Score Cabin". From self-media bloggers to village secretaries, from charity guardians to logistics enterprises — every user is a microcosm of real life, this is the most vivid interpretation of "Knows Cars, Knows You Better".

100 million vehicles is a phased answer sheet of SAIC's 70+ years of development, and even more so a new starting line for SAIC's "Second Entrepreneurship" towards the smart electric future. In 2014, SAIC actively implemented the important instruction "Developing new energy vehicles is the inevitable path for China to become a great auto power from an auto power", taking the lead in comprehensive transformation. Twelve years later, from "Leading the Pack" in smart electric transformation to "Thousands of Horses Galloping" in independent and joint venture, passenger and commercial, domestic and overseas, SAIC will continuously use "Knows Cars, Knows You Better" as the user philosophy, letting technological innovation truly benefit every user.

From 1955 to 2026, from the first user to the 100 Millionth user, from startup exploration to industry leadership — SAIC will continue to travel together with global users and global partners on a Journey of 100 Million, co-creating a new future of beautiful mobility.

May 28, all-new Geely Xingyuan officially launched. The venue for this press conference was quite unique — without a traditional stage and spotlights, instead, it collaborated with Xiaohongshu to create the nation's first mobile "Immersive Journey" car launch event. Harbor families, Alley families, Rainforest families, Silk Road families, Nomadic families, five major life scenarios were laid out in sequence at the launch venue, as if bringing the daily hustle and bustle of transportation into the spotlight of the automotive industry. Geely Xingyuan spokesperson Joey Yung also attended the site, she spoke about real segments of her time with this little car, her tone was gentle yet firm. Sitting in the audience were not only media and dealers, but also many ordinary people who have become or will become Xingyuan owners. At this moment, a pure electric car priced from 61,800 yuan seemed to no longer be just a commuting tool, but a possibility of accompanying life.

The all-new Geely Xingyuan launches four models this time: 410km Longing Edition, 410km Riding Wind Edition, 480km Exploration Edition, 480km Exploration+ Edition, launch limited-time benefit price is 61,800 yuan to 91,800 yuan. The range of the entire series has undergone a comprehensive upgrade, the 310 km version jumped to 410 km, the 410 km version increased to 480 km. At the same time, to cater to the actual needs of different users, the official retained the right to select 310 km range on the 410 km version, the price can be reduced by another 7,000 yuan after selection.

But what truly made this little car attract widespread attention goes far beyond price. The all-new Geely Xingyuan's slogan is "Advancement Beyond Classics", officially claimed to have over 100 product power upgrades and over 25 class-exclusive features. These numbers might sound a bit abstract, but when you truly break down its five core advancement directions, you will find this is not just a pile of marketing jargon, but a thorough evolution from inside to outside, from hardware to software.

Let's start with the most basic driving control. Geely Xingyuan is the first pure electric car in its class to adopt a native architecture, and the first model to come standard with rear independent suspension across the entire series. To tune this chassis, Geely's engineering team ran through over 30 countries worldwide, conducting all-round verification for extreme road conditions.

DMS active fatigue detection will timely remind drivers to rest, sentry mode guards parking safety 24/7 all-weather, once abnormal, record video immediately and send to user phone. From departure to arrival, from driving to parking, this system makes complex driving simple and reassuring.

Safety is the gene Geely carved into its bones. Regardless of big car or small car, all brands under Geely adopt the same safety philosophy and strict standards. Geely has built a global domain safety center with investment over 2 billion yuan, and released "Human, Car, Road, Cloud, Star" integrated domain safety 2.0 system. All-new Geely Xingyuan also follows this high standard, upholding the philosophy "Small Car, Must Have Big Safety". Passive safety aspect, it created five vertical eight horizontal star armor cage body, front end three force transmission paths cooperate with double "Clover" force release structure, side battery to threshold spacing 149mm and added double anti-collision longitudinal beams, rear 750mm long rear suspension and double "Well" shaped rear subframe form a solid barrier. roof compression strength increased to 3.4 times vehicle weight, AB pillar and roof crossbeam etc core area materials upgrade, even encountering rollover or heavy weight pressing on roof, cabin remains unharmed, side curtain airbag pressure maintenance technology can also continuously protect head during rollover.

All these upgrades and hardcore strength, finally point to one fact: Geely Xingyuan is no longer an ordinary little car. Since launch in October 2024, it cumulative delivery has broken 700,000 units, equivalent to one sold every minute. It is not only the star model in the whole industry to reach this goal fastest, but also won the 2025 Chinese car market sales champion at once. Entering 2026, Geely Xingyuan still continues to lead, firmly stays at top. This year first quarter, in global new energy vehicle sales ranking, Geely Xingyuan for the first time enters global top three, achieved a new milestone for China A0 level electric car.

From a commuting little car, to 700,000 user's choice, from China champion to global top three, Geely Xingyuan's advancement road is actually not complex — it just seriously did the little car well, done fully, done exceeding expectations. And after this renewed launch, Geely Galaxy brand on pure electric small car track again raised the "High Quality Good Price" benchmark. Future, Geely Galaxy will continue to uphold "Building Smart Boutique Cars for Everyone" original intention, bringing products and services exceeding expectations to users in various sub-markets.

May 22, Lisbon. Deep Blue Auto officially became the global partner of the Portuguese National Football Team. A batch of Deep Blue S05 was delivered to the team on-site, and the 1000-kilometer long-distance test across Europe was launched. Choosing a traditional European power team directly pulled the cooperation level to the national team. Behind this choice, it is clearly not a temporary decision.

The Portuguese team has a natural traffic source, or one could say a spiritual core, which is Cristiano Ronaldo, 39 years old and playing another World Cup. The enterprising and self-disciplined spirit he embodies also gives this national team an imprint distinct from other national teams beyond tactics and skills. What Deep Blue seized is exactly this state.

Deep Blue originates from the Changan system, but unlike some new forces, it is not as adept at generating hype, yet its paces have always been kept very tight. At the press conference, officials revealed that cumulative deliveries have already surpassed 800,000 vehicles, and it also took the sales champion title among central enterprise new energy brands last year. This characteristic of running quietly but swiftly, in Deep Blue's view, shares many similarities with the Portuguese national team.

Establishing a spiritual connection is just the first step. For cooperation to be finalized, it still relies on product hard power. Deep Blue currently possesses self-developed technologies such as Yuanli Super Integrated Electric Drive, Golden Bell Battery, etc. The battery has maintained a zero self-ignition record to date, and previously obtained China's first L3-level autonomous driving dedicated license plate. These items are the most direct confidence for Deep Blue to negotiate cooperation with the Portuguese national team.

The S05 delivered this time counts as a centralized output of Deep Blue's technical foundation. In April, it took the sales first place in the domestic compact SUV market. In Spain, next to Portugal, it also ranked first in compact pure electric SUV registrations for two consecutive months. J.D. Power New Car Quality Study sub-category first place and German iF Design Award were also captured by this car.

You should know that any Chinese brand going global will face significant challenges. For example, European users are still unfamiliar with Chinese brands, even carrying stereotypes. No matter how good the performance is, no matter how good the domestic performance data looks, the car driven to European streets may not be recognized by anyone. This requires a key that can quickly open overseas consumers' cognition.

Football in Europe is that key everyone possesses. Behind the national team lies shared emotion and public trust. Deep Blue standing alongside it is equivalent to leveraging the trust of the pitch to gradually instill its product image into the daily vision of the locals.

Actually, Deep Blue's overseas expansion did not start from scratch. It has completed channel setup in approximately 100 countries and regions worldwide. The commissioning of the right-hand drive factory in Thailand enables it to cover Southeast Asia and Australia and New Zealand. In addition, Deep Blue S07 also secured dual five-star safety ratings in Europe and Australia. These accumulations mean this cooperation is not just a solo stunt.

The 1000 kilometers departing from Lisbon, tested not only range and reliability. It is more like a statement.
