In 2023, overseas sales will reach 12080,000 units, of which the MG4 EV exceeded 100,000 units in Europe, becoming the sales champion of compact pure electric vehicles. In the future, SAIC will also launch 14 new smart electric vehicles in overseas markets to further expand its overseas product portfolio and achieve full coverage of mainstream market segments.
Chery Automobile also performed well.

It is reported that Chery has more than 13 million global automobile users, including 3.35 million overseas users, which not only reflects Chery's gradual increase in influence in the international market, but also shows that global users highly recognize Chery's quality. Great Wall Motors and Geely Motors also performed well.
In 2023, Great Wall Motors will have a cumulative sales of 123070,000 units, of which 31 were sold overseas60,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 8248%, a record high. At present, Great Wall Motor plans to fully enter the European market, and exports are expected to reach a new high this year. Geely Automobile is also emerging in the overseas market, with a bright performance in 2023.
In general, China's own brands are gradually emerging in overseas markets, and their export performance has also continued to improve. In the future, as more and more brands and models enter overseas markets, the status of Chinese automobiles in the global market will gradually improve. In 2023, China's auto industry will show a comprehensive upward trend, and the technical strength and brand power of domestic independent car companies have been greatly improved.
Among them, Geely Automobile's sales exceeded expectations, with a year-on-year increase of 18%, and new energy sales increased by 48% year-on-year. In addition, Geely Automobile has also maintained a rapid growth trend in exports, with a cumulative export volume of 38% year-on-year, with more than 490 global sales and service outlets, covering the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Africa, Latin America, Pan-Europe and other regions.
In addition, Changan Automobile's performance in 2023 is also impressive, with annual sales of its own brand exceeding 209770,000 units, self-owned brand new energy sales exceeded 470,000 units, and overseas sales reached 23630,000 units.
It is reported that Changan Automobile also plans to accelerate the layout of the core technology of the three electric vehicles and the research and development of intelligent key core technologies, launch a number of new products such as E07 and C318, and strive to achieve global sales of 5 million vehicles by 2030, and annual sales of more than 1.2 million vehicles in overseas markets.
In addition, BYD is also accelerating its overseas expansion, announcing in December last year that it would build a new production base for new energy vehicles in Hungary, and exports are expected to reach 500,000 units in 2024. "Car One Circle" believes that the rise of China's auto industry, as well as the improvement of the technical strength and brand power of independent car companies, have created favorable conditions for domestic cars to accelerate their overseas expansion.
If we can maintain the growth trend and accelerate the overseas layout, it is a high probability event that the export volume of independent brands will reach a new high this year.
