Chery Reports Strong Profit Growth in 2025

Chinese automaker Chery Automobile posted a significant profit increase in 2025, driven by strong overseas demand and improved product mix, according to recent financial disclosures.

The company’s net profit surged 346% year-on-year, marking one of its strongest annual performances in recent years. Revenue also recorded solid growth, supported by higher exports and rising sales of premium and electrified models.

The results highlight Chery’s accelerating transformation from a volume-focused manufacturer into a global brand with stronger profitability.

Exports and higher-end models played a major role in boosting profitability.

Exports Continue to Power Growth

International markets remained a key growth engine for Chery in 2025. The automaker has steadily expanded its footprint across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Key drivers behind the profit surge included:

  • Strong growth in overseas vehicle shipments
  • Increased sales of higher-margin premium models
  • Expansion of new energy vehicle lineup
  • Improved cost controls and operational efficiency
  • Better product mix across global markets

These factors helped lift overall margins and contributed to the sharp profit increase.

Premium and New Energy Vehicles Gain Momentum

Chery has been pushing into higher-end segments with brands such as Exeed, Omoda, and Jaecoo, while also accelerating its electrification strategy.

The company has also invested heavily in:

  • Intelligent driving technologies
  • Electrification platforms
  • Global R&D expansion
  • Brand repositioning toward premium markets

These efforts helped boost average selling prices and improve profitability.

  • Strengthen overseas production capacity
  • Improve global brand recognition

These initiatives are expected to support continued growth in 2026 and beyond.
