Chery Automobile Co. Ltd., trading as Chery (p=Qíruì),Xing, W. W. J. (2002). "Automakers in the fast lane". The China Business Review: 29(4) is a Chinese automobile manufacture. Founded in 1997, it is currently the fourth largest automobile manufacturer group in China, with 2,603,916 vehicles sold in 2024. The company is headquartered in Wuhu, Anhui. The company used to be a subsidiary of Chery Holding Group Co., Ltd and under the ownership of the Wuhu municipal government. After its IPO in 2025, it was spun-off from the Chery Holding and currently co-owned by the government of Anhui and Wuhu, the employees and several private companies.
Chery was founded in 1997 by government officials of Wuhu, who appointed Yin Tongyue, the current chairman, as the company's first technical director. Chery launched its first car called the Fengyun in 1999, using a licensed SEAT chassis. During its early years, Chery utilized technologies from other manufacturers; some were licensed and others were acquired by reverse engineering. This practice led to a lawsuit in 2003 filed by General Motors alleging that Chery had copied the design of one of its cars. Chery has since developed and improved its technologies. Since 2006, Chery has produced its engines branded as ACTECO, which it also sells to other manufacturers.
The company started exporting cars from China in 2001, ahead of other Chinese manufacturers and has been the top exporter of Chinese brand passenger vehicles since 2003. The company exported 269,154 vehicles in 2021, 451,337 vehicles in 2022, and 937,148 vehicles in 2023, accounting for 52 percent of its overall sales.
Chery invests more heavily in overseas markets than other Chinese manufacturers, and many of its vehicles are assembled outside China using complete or semi-complete . In 2024, Chery Holding Group made its debut on the Fortune Global 500 list, securing the 385th position with a revenue of $39.0917 billion.
Chery adopts a multi-brand strategy by establishing many car brands for different purposes. , the company has nine active brands, including the main Chery brand (with Chery Fulwin and Chery New Energy sub-brands for plug-in hybrid and electric cars respectively), Exeed and Lepas for premium vehicles, Luxeed as a collaborative electric car brand with Huawei, Jetour that focuses on SUVs, iCar/iCaur for electric SUVs, Karry for commercial vehicles, and Omoda, Jaecoo, Exlantix, and Aiqar for export markets.
The company also operates a joint venture with JLR since 2012 called Chery Jaguar Land Rover to produce Jaguar Cars and Land Rover vehicles in China.
On 25 September 2025, Chery raised about US$1.2 billion in its Hong Kong IPO at HK$30.75 per share, valuing the company at nearly US$23 billion, marking it as one of Hong Kong's largest IPOs of the year.
Chery began automobile production in 1999 using a SEAT Toledo chassis licensed from Spanish manufacturer SEAT.Fairclough, G. (4 December 2007). "Accelerating growth: In china, chery automobile drives an industry shift; low costs, high output attract global partners; chrysler's leap of faith". The Wall Street Journal, pp. A.1-A.1 Called the Fengyun, Chery's first car sold nearly 30,000 units. By 2002, Chery's production and sales exceeded 50,000 units, ranking among the "top eight" in the domestic passenger car industry. However, the company was only awarded a national passenger car production license in 2003, so while its first product rolled off the line in December 1999, it could not be legally sold outside the Anhui province for several years. During that period, Chery solved the problem by piggybacking on a SAIC Motor license until 2003. In this period, SAIC held a 20 percent share in Chery. Ownership was soon sold due to rising tensions between Chery and another SAIC partner General Motors, and political pressure from the SAIC management towards Anhui authorities.McGregor, R. (14 June 2004). "SAIC severs links with chery". Financial Times.
In December 2004, Chery entered an importation agreement with American company Visionary Vehicles, laying the groundwork to introduce five Chery models to US and Canada. Visionary Vehicles was owned by Malcolm Bricklin, widely known as the entrepreneur who brought Yugo cars to the US. Both companies hoped to sell 150,000 vehicles in the US by 2007. Investments were made to ensure compliance with safety regulations, and a dealership network was established across North America. Allegations of breach of contract by Chery and the legal disputes that followed in 2006 disrupted the collaboration between both companies, and Visionary Vehicles ended up winning a lawsuit it brought against Chery in 2013 to recoup losses from the failed deal.
Chery started improving its engineering capabilities, and launching other new products such as the Chery Tiggo SUV and other models. In 2003, Chery started buying 1.4-litre Tritec engine produced in Brazil and jointly developed by BMW and Chrysler. In 2005, the company used a Mitsubishi Motors engine for the Tiggo, which was widely used in the Chinese car industry at that time. Chery started producing its own engine branded as ACTECO since 2006. It is the result of a technical cooperation dating from 2003 with AVL, an Austrian engineering company. Starting 2008, Chery supplied ACTECO engines to Fiat, which used the 1.6- and 1.8-liter engines for the Fiat Linea.
The A3, introduced in August 2007, became a turning point of the brand. The sedan was styled by Pininfarina, and became the first Chinese-developed car to receive a 5-star rating in the China NCAP safety test.
In 2009, Chery produced 508,500 units, and at that time, it had an annual production capacity around 650,000 units. More than 400,000 of its 2009 sales were sedans. In that year, Yin Tongyue announced changes to the company's strategy to become a multi-brand carmaker by introducing three new brands: Karry, Rely, and Riich. Chery also renamed all its cars to Cowin followed by a number, except for the E5, QQ, and Tiggo. It also introduced the Fengyun 2 to replace the SEAT-based sedan. These changes are aimed to eliminate the low-budget image of Chery cars. Later its sprawling production policy and lineup became a problem for Chery. With over 100 new models in the works, Chery decided to cancel the Rely and Riich brands in the fall of 2012. Since then, Chery has entered an adjustment period of "returning to one Chery", and reduced its planned models to around 30.
Chery became the seventh-most productive Chinese vehicle manufacturer in 2010 by selling nearly 700,000 units. Slipping sales marked 2011 and 2012; in these years, the company produced more than 640,000 and near 590,000 units, respectively, and it moved from a seventh to a tenth-place ranking.For 2011 sales figures, see
The company in 2011 exported around 25% of its total production.This assertion is supported by multiple sources:
Since the late 2000s period, Chery also began to actively seek a partnership with foreign carmakers. Several possible tie-ups with both Chrysler and Fiat were explored, but fell through. In mid-2011, the company signed an agreement with Fuji Heavy Industries (currently Subaru Corporation) to establish a manufacturing joint venture in China, with a production site planned in Dalian, Liaoning. The planned joint venture failed to receive an approval from the Chinese government despite multiple attempts. Chery started partnering with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in March 2012, which was looking to produce cars in China through a mandatory 50-50 joint venturer with a local company. The joint venture was formalised as Chery Jaguar Land Rover in November 2012. Its first product, a Range Rover Evoque, rolled off the production line in October 2014 from the newly built plant in Changshu, Jiangsu. Chery also began manufacturing a revived version of the Moke under an agreement with JLR since 2013. Its design evokes the classic Mini Moke built from 1964 until 1993.
Chery was also involved with the establishment of Qoros, a joint venture formed in 2007 with Kenon Holdings based in Singapore and owned by Israeli investors, and started selling the Qoros 3 sedan in 2013. Qoros was sold off in 2018, and faced bankruptcy in 2022.
In 2014, Chery revived its multi-brand strategy by establishing Cowin as a separate brand, which is positioned as a low-budget offering. The brand was partially sold in 2018. Another brand that was established by Chery is Exeed, which is positioned in the premium segment. The brand was introduced in September 2017 at the International Motor Show Germany in Frankfurt by showcasing the TX concept vehicle. The first production model from Exeed was the Exeed TX mid-size SUV in March 2019. In January 2018, Chery introduced another brand called Jetour at an event in Beijing, which focuses on "value for money" mid-size SUVs and targets Chinese families living in tier-three and tier-four cities who travel often.
Chery started early in producing (EVs) by introducing its first EV in 2009, which is an electrified version of the original Chery QQ. The company established an EV division called Chery New Energy in 2010. Following this, Chery released the Chery eQ in 2014, an EV variant of the second-generation QQ, and later launched the eQ1 in 2016. The eQ1 went on sale in 2017, and became one of the most popular electric car in China until 2020, when rivals such as the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV became available. "The top 3 global best selling plug-in electric cars in 2021 were the Tesla Model 3 (500,713), the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV (424,138), and the Tesla Model Y (410,517). Nissan Leaf sales totaled 64,201 units and Chery eQ 68,821 units." In June 2021, Chery produced its 200,000th eQ1.
In 2021, Chery announced the "Double 50" strategic plan that aimed to export 500,000 vehicles and to achieve an export revenue of US $5 billion by 2025. The company ended up surpassing the plan by a large margin by exporting 937,148 vehicles in 2023.
The company started entering or reentering markets in this period. Chery resumed operations in South Africa in late 2021 after years of absence. In 2022, Chery entered the Mexican market as Chirey due to trademark reasons, as Malcolm Bricklin held the rights for the Chery name in North America. Other markets entered in 2022 included Malaysia, Indonesia, and Turkey. Chery re-entered the Australian market in 2023, after briefly selling cars there in the early 2010s. Its Exeed brand started sales in the Middle East in 2022.
In 2023, Chery launched four new brands and several new product lines. In April, it launched a new brand called iCar which mainly sells electric SUVs that targets young customers, and the Sterra electric product line (Exlantix for export markets) under its Exeed brand. The company also started a partnership Huawei under the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), where Chery supplied HIMA with electric vehicles under the new Luxeed brand. Luxeed's first product is the Luxeed S7, which is the first car to have the HarmonyOS on board.
In April 2023, Chery also launched another two new brands in a ceremony held in Wuhu, Anhui called Omoda and Jaecoo. Both brands are only marketed outside China to support Chery's export strategy. The two brands combined (referred to as "O&J" brands) were targeted to reach annual global sales of 1,400,000 units by 2030 (not including China). Also in 2023, Chery also announced its new high-performance plug-in hybrid platform marketed as "Chery Dual Mode" (C-DM) to be introduced into most of its models. The plug-in hybrid system became available in Chery vehicles carrying the Fulwin sub-brand, Jetour vehicles under the Shanhai sub-brand, and Exeed vehicles.
In January 2024, Chery has signed strategic cooperation framework agreements with Nio to establish cooperation in battery standards, battery swapping technology, the construction of battery swapping service networks, and operation.
In March 2024, Chery fully acquired Soueast, a carmaker based in Fujian that was a subsidiary of Fujian Motors Group. The production facility of Soueast is used for producing Jetour brand vehicles.
In June 2024, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Chery signed a letter of intent in electric vehicle cooperation. JLR will license the Freelander nameplate to Chery Jaguar Land Rover to produce EVs based on an Exeed EV platform called the E0X. Freelander as a brand will be separate from JLR's 'House of Brands' portfolio or Chery's brand line-up. Freelander vehicles will be sold in China, with plans for global exports. In November 2024, Chery established the FR Brand Division to lead the development and marketing of Freelander-branded models.
In October 2024, South Korean manufacturer KG Mobility, formerly SsangYong Motor, signed an agreement with Chery to co-develop electrified vehicles for global markets. KG Mobility will receive the T2X platform developed by Chery.
In October 2024, Chery Holdings Limited was reported to be considering listing its automobile division in Hong Kong, with an estimated valuation of approximately US$7.1 billion (around RMB 50 billion).
In April 2025, Chery launched its new hybrid system called Kunpeng Super Hybrid CDM/CEM. In the same month, the company announced the revival of the Rely brand as its electric pickup line, offering ICE, BEV, EREV, and PHEV variants. Chery also introduced a new brand, Lepas, aimed at overseas markets, and introduced iCaur, the export market name of the iCar brand.
In July 2025, Chery restructured its Chery brand by establishing four major divisions: the Exeed Division, the Tiggo and Arrizo Division, the Fulwin Division, and the QQ Division. Jetour, iCar, and Luxeed brands will continue to operate independently due to differences in market positioning and cooperation models.
On 25 September 2025, Chery raised about US$1.2 billion in its Hong Kong IPO at HK$30.75 per share, valuing the company at nearly US$23 billion, with the stock rising over 11% on debut and marking it as one of Hong Kong's largest IPOs of the year.
Following the IPO of Chery Automobile, Chery Holding no longer holds shares in Chery Automobile. Chery Holding currently only retains the commercial vehicle business (Karry) and has no capital ties with Chery Automobile, effectively completing a spin-off.

Chery has been the largest Chinese automobile exporter. The company started its export operations well ahead of other Chinese manufacturers, making its first export to the Middle East as early as 2001. It became China's largest car exporter since 2003, except in 2022 when SAIC Motor briefly took the position. , Chery has been exporting cars to more than 80 countries and regions, with a total export volume of more than 1.7 million vehicles. Russia, South America and the Middle East are its key export markets.
Chery's export business started in October 2001 when a car dealership owner from Syria spotted a Chery car on the streets of Beijing, catching his interest. Following numerous inquiries, he learned that this car was the recently released first-generation Fengyun/Fulwin sedan. The dealer promptly visited Chery's headquarters in Anhui, aiming to meet current chairman Yin Tongyue, at that time an executive deputy general manager to discuss potential export collaboration. Eventually, Yin agreed to export 10 cars as a trial, which marks the beginning of Chery's venture into overseas markets. Subsequently, Chery started exporting cars in larger volumes to other regions. Prior to 2012, unlike most larger Chinese carmakers, Chery lacked a joint venture with any foreign manufacturer. A 2009 report by the US Congressional Research Service asserted that such joint ventures usually restrained overseas sales.
In the following two decades, Chery's annual export sales remained at around 100,000 to 150,000 vehicles until a surge occurred in the early 2020s. From 2020 to 2023, Chery's export business experienced rapid growth, doubling to 937,100 vehicles in 2023 compared to the previous year, constituting 52 percent of its total sales. That year, Chery ranked first in export volume among Chinese automobile manufacturers, surpassing SAIC Motor's passenger cars division which held the position in 2022. Its overseas ventures were reported to be more lucrative than its domestic operations due to the larger margin per vehicle, with a significant portion of its over 30 billion yuan profit in 2022 coming from international markets.
Chery claims to be the first Chinese manufacturer to export complete vehicles, CKD components, engines, and complete vehicle manufacturing technology and equipment abroad. , Chery has 10 production bases overseas which produce either complete or semi-complete , mainly in South America, the Middle East and Russia; they have also been expanding to Southeast Asia and Europe.
In 2017, the Brazilian automobile manufacturer Grupo Caoa bought 51 % of Chery's operation in Brazil. Since then, the vehicles in Brazil have been offered under the Caoa Chery brand. Caoa has been producing the Tiggo 4 in Anápolis, Goiás in knock-down kit form since November 2018. Between 2018 and 2023, the plant had produced the Arrizo 5, Arrizo 6, Tiggo 2, Tiggo 3x, Tiggo 5x, Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8, totaling around 146,921 vehicles. In August 2023, Caoa announced a R$3 billion investment in the Anápolis facility to expand and modernize the plant. It resulted in the opening of a second production shift in January 2024, which created 1,357 new jobs in total.
In 2024, Chery will enter the Brazilian market independently without Caoa by using three brands: Omoda, Jaecoo, and Exeed. The company also plans to reactivate the Jacareí plant to produce cars from the three brands; the plant is currently owned by Caoa Chery and has sat dormant since February 2022.
In May 2023, Chery introduced Omoda as its second brand in the country. The Chirey Omoda 5 was renamed the Omoda C5. Omoda will open 70 dealers across the country that will be shared with the upcoming Jaecoo brand.
The brand re-entered Australia in 2023 under a subsidiary owned directly by Chery. It purchased the "Holden Gemini" trademark from Holden / General Motors in 2022, although the trademark remains unused. The first model it introduced is the Chery Omoda 5, which started deliveries in March 2023. That year, the brand sold 5,890 vehicles in the market.
By 2008, a factory assembling Chery models from kits opened in Johor Bahru, Johor through a 50–50 joint venture between local company Alado Corp Sdn Bhd and Chery.Bursa, M. (2009). "ASEAN automotive market review: Management briefing; Manufacturer activity". Just-Auto News. Bromsgrove, United Kingdom, Bromsgrove Its first model was the Chery Eastar MPV, originally the V5 in China. In 2012, Chery planned another factory that was expected to be built and operational in Malaysia by 2015.
In 2023, the brand returned to Malaysia under direct factory-backed operations, and assembled vehicles at Inokom's facility in Kulim, Kedah since August 2023. In 2024, Chery Malaysia announced that it will build a fully owned plant in Shah Alam to complement production at Kulim, which would produce Jaecoo vehicles. The first vehicle produced by the facility, a Jaecoo J7, rolled off the plant in June 2024.
Chery will enter Italy directly and separately from DR Automobiles by selling two brands, Omoda and Jaecoo, by the third quarter of 2024.
In April 2024, Chery signed a joint venture deal with Spanish company EV Motors to build cars in a former Nissan factory in Barcelona, Spain. Nissan ended production in the plant in 2021, before handing the facility over to Spanish electric motorcycle maker Silence and local engineering groups QEV and EV Motors. Chery will start producing its Omoda vehicles at the plant first, while EV Motors will produce its own vehicles starting in the fourth quarter of 2024.
As a result of Western, South Korean and Japanese manufacturers leaving Russia due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Chery reported massive sales growth in Russia. In 2023, Chery was second only to the local Russian brand Lada with annual sales of 119,000 vehicles with a local market share of 11.2 percent, accounting for 20 percent of Chery's overseas sales.
In 2024, local manufacturer AvtoVAZ will produce the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max at a former Nissan assembly plant, now rebranded as the Xcite X-Cross 7. Despite local production, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max will still be available in the Russian market as Chinese imports sold through Chery dealerships.
Chery re-entered Turkey in late 2022 under its own direct investment, and started sales in March 2023 with three models, the Omoda 5, Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro. In its first year of sales, Chery was able to sell 40,590 vehicles in the country, ahead of many established brands.
In March 2025, the Turkish government announced that Chery's partners will make a US$1 billion investment in Samsun, Turkey for a manufacturing plant with a capacity to create 5,000 jobs and produce 200,000 vehicles a year. The project also includes a research and development.
In 2011, Chery stated the parts localization ratio for Egypt was 45%.
In April 2023, Chery introduced its Omoda brand in South Africa as a more "premium" offering. The Jaecoo brand was added in 2024.
In 2025, Chery announced that it would introduce 19 new energy vehicles (NEVs) in South Africa, throughout the year, as part of further expansion in the country. The first of these vehicles was unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2025. Jay Jay Botes, General Manager for Chery South Africa, stated that Chery believes that its Super Hybrid technology will become a key growth driver in markets like South Africa.
In July 2025, as part of its expansion in the country, Chery South Africa announced that it had reached a sales volume that justified exploring the viability of establishing a manufacturing plant in the country. Chery confirmed it was in the second phase of a feasibility study to determine the viability of local manufacturing.
The feasibility study considered multiple production models, including semi-knocked-down (SKD) and completely knocked-down (CKD) kits, contract manufacturing, joint ventures, and a greenfield investment. The company further stated that, as part of the study, it was assessing the capability of local suppliers and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Chery Fulwin products will be divided into three series: A, T and M, representing sedan, SUV and Minivan categories respectively. Range extender and battery electric vehicles are also planned. Its first model, the Fulwin A8 sedan was available to pre-sale in December 2023.
The Fulwin/Fengyun name was a model name used by Chery several times in the past, starting from the Fengyun sedan in 1999.
Since 8 July 2025, Chery Fulwin was repositioned from a product series to an independent brand, positioning itself as a "global new energy luxury brand". After becoming independent, the new brand will belong to the newly established "Chery Brand Domestic Business Group" alongside Exeed, QQ, and Arrizo + Tiggo series.
Omoda and Jaecoo were simultaneously introduced in April 2023 at an international dealership and journalist convention in Wuhu, Anhui, although Omoda has been selling vehicles in Russia since 2022. Positioned above the Chery brand, Omoda and Jaecoo are part of Chery International, the company's export division. In Iran, the brands are known as Ecoda and Lucano respectively.
Exlantix, a brand consisting of rebadged Exeed Sterra electric vehicles, was introduced in Russia in March 2024.
Aiqar, derived from the Chinese market iCar brand, is an electric vehicle brand of Chery International that became available in countries such as Armenia, Georgia, Cambodia, Uzbekistan, and Curaçao. It sells rebranded versions of iCar and Chery New Energy models.
Another brand called Lepas was introduced in April 2025.
In May 2011, Chery and Fuji Heavy Industries (currently Subaru Corporation) had an agreement to establish a joint venture to manufacture Subaru vehicles in China. The plan was to establish a 30 billion yen plant in Dalian with initial annual capacity of 50,000 cars, that would expand to 150,000 units. Subaru vehicles has been imported to China since 2004. The joint venture proposal was rejected by the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission by September 2011, as the major shareholder of Fuji Heavy Industries, Toyota already has two joint ventures in China, which is the maximum amount allowed. Later in May 2012, the proposal was rejected for the second time due to production "overcapacity" in the country.
Chery also has automotive component-manufacturing joint ventures with Arvin Meritor, Johnson Controls, and PPG Industries.
In 2020, there were plans for Chery to buy a percentage of Tata Motors in order for Chery to gain entry into the Indian market, and in order for Tata Motors to receive vehicle platform and technology for cars such as the proposed Tata Blackbird. However, due to COVID-19 pandemic and the continuing political tensions over the Chinese/Indian border, reports have indicated that the plans have been shelved.
In May 2025, the JLR revealed that the Chery Jaguar Land Rover would cease to produce before the end of 2026 after the joint venture with lost $18.7 million in the 2024 fiscal year. The production of the Jaguar XE, Jaguar XF, and Jaguar E-Pace would be ended in September 2025, and the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport would be ended by the end of 2026.
It specializes in the production of light commercial vehicles and people carriers for passenger transport. Some of the products created for Karry were marketed overseas under different marques by Chery.
In 2024, the Tiggo 8 participated in the Taklimakan Rally on the T2 Production Vehicle class.
Other proposed names include Jiuhua (c=九华) after the local Mount Jiuhua area, but the name was rejected by the Chinese industrial and commercial department because it was stipulated that trademarks cannot be registered with place names.
GM executives claimed design duplication with many parts interchangeable between the QQ and the Matiz, and GM China Group stated the two vehicles "shared remarkably identical body structure, exterior design, interior design and key components."
The early Chery Tiggo was criticised for resembling the second generation Toyota RAV4. Other models using the Matiz technology found in the QQ include the closely related QQ6. The Eastar and its derivatives (V4, B12, and B22) are allegedly clones of the Daewoo Magnus.
After mediation attempts failed, then-GM Daewoo (now known as GM Korea) brought a case against Chery in a Shanghai court, but by 2005 jurisdiction had been moved to the Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court. Around that time Chinese state officials, including a vice-minister of commerce and a vice-director of the State Intellectual Property Office, publicly supported Chery. The State Intellectual Property Office has claimed that GM did not properly patent their technology. In late 2005 the lawsuit was settled.
