China: October 2026 sales driven by new energy vehicles
In October 2026, retail sales of new energy vehicles in China reached 1.148 million units, 78,000 more than forecast by the CPCA, and their penetration is approaching 70%. Xiaomi Auto has surpassed 330,000 vehicles sold from January to October, while Wuling sold nearly 100,000 new energy vehicles in October and unveiled the Xingguang M equipped with Huawei assisted driving. Automaker performance is mixed: Geely Galaxy announces a monthly record of 153,385 sales, GWM Ora 5 exceeds 10,000 units for the fifth month and Foton remains nearly stable, while GAC declines 15.84%, Zhijie sees its sales halved, JAC suffers a drop of more than 50% in its NEV sales, and Shuguang sells only 13 vehicles. The provided sub-events all concern China and show no national differences; multi-country coverage of the file does not provide, in these elements, a specific breakdown for each market.
