Chinese brands really kill it in Europe

• The Byd sold a total of 70,500 units in the first half of 2025.
• Similarly, Xpeng has already sold 8,400 pieces in Europe and exceeded 8.100 sales in all year 2024.
• About 5,500 XPEng sales come from XPEng G6 from Tesla Model Y.

While the electric vehicle market in America is completely unrest (and honestly, the whole industry is also), it can be frustrating that global markets have rising robust selection of price and size EV.

Example: In Europe, things seem to have taken a long way. European manufacturers are starting to figure out how to make desirable EV, and cars like Renault 4 and 5 are critical pets. However, it must also be because the Chinese EV are doing deeper and deeper to the population on the European markets.

Like, really deep access. Today we were sent by Somme Saules from the business company JATO Dynamics. And they show that Chinese brands in Europe are growing a lot. Some brands see literal 100% jump in sale from 2024.

In the first half of the year, MG led a package with about 151,600 units sold; It is a sales manager in all Chinese cars in Europe. Remember, however, that MG also sells EV, PHEV and full ice cars – a subcompact hatchback MG 3 is available in both hybrid and full ice.

But the Chinese Juggernaut Byd is also Standout. The brand moved in the first half of about 70,500 units and has already exceeded its total EU export of 2024 of approximately 57,000. The same with Xpeng, although sold only about 8.400 units in Europe for H1, it is already 8,100 units that sold throughout Europe in 2024. to grow.

The success of both XPENG and BYD is probably a ride by the aggressive introduction of a new product. Last year, the BYD introduced at least three new models, two of which (Dolphin Surf, Atto 2) were in the budgetary part of the segment.

By Seal near Phev Crossover tied to Volkswagen Tiguan as the best -selling European crossover PHEV. That’s quite a big problem.

Similarly, Xpeng switched from offering its P7 sedan in only a handful of European countries to add its large SUV and the G6 model Y and the G6 model Y at the end of 2024.

Unfortunately, NIO is sold on the bottom of sales charts, with 370 units sold throughout the European continent. This is bad, but I suspect that the large size and high prices of aspirationally luxurious NIO model sets resonate with European customers who would rather choose BMW, Audi or Mercedes they already know. Maybe things will improve for the brand when Firefly starts at the end of this year.

As these Chinese brands grow, introduced European manufacturers have begun to lose their market share. Stellantis went from 16.7% of the European market to 15.3% per year. All Chinese brands combined almost as much share in the market as all Mercedes-Benz.

I understand how this nurse is a huge existential crisis for car brands from China. These sales numbers from these Chinese cars have a truly attractiveness outside China. Also, these brands of gift plan to stop the conquest of their global markets, as most of them plan to introduce new models that are cheaper and suitable for lower price points. And it is proven that they are much faster at the beginning of the new models.

Legacy has forced car workers to better watch their backs, Becaus customers actually buy Chinese cars.
