General Motors achieved nearly 1 million new energy vehicle (NEV) sales in China in 2025, making up over half of its total market deliveries, which reached around 1.9 million vehicles—a 2.3% increase year over year. NEV sales surged by 22.6%, underscoring GM’s commitment to electrification.
Key highlights include the strong performance of Buick’s ELECTRA models and the Wuling Hong Guang MINIEV, which sold over 435,000 units. Cadillac’s LYRIQ and XT5 saw deliveries increase by 90% and 32.4%, respectively. Meanwhile, BYD Company Limited led the NEV market with retail sales of 3,484,525 units, capturing a 27.2% market share, despite a 6.3% year-over-year decline.
GM’s results were attributed to effective product quality management and a focus on inventory control, as stated by John Roth, GM China’s president. The company plans to introduce NEV variants for all new product launches beginning in 2026.
