The Tesla Model Y is still the most produced car in China in 2025
- According to the final production figures for 2025, China produced 30,269,903 passenger cars last year, compared to 27,476,886 in 2024, representing an increase of 10.2%, a growth much greater than that recorded in the two major automotive production regions, Europe and the United States.
- The Tesla Model Y (D-segment electric SUV) remained the most produced car in China in 2025 (540,000 units), despite a 3% decrease in its production volume compared to 2024 (-16,000 units ). The BYD Seagull (B-segment electric sedan), with 527,000 units produced in 2025, secured second place, thanks to an increase of 47,000 units compared to 2024.
- In third position, we note the presence of the Geely Xingyuan (electric B-segment sedan) which made a spectacular breakthrough, with 486,000 units produced, representing an increase of 424,000 units compared to 2024.
- In fourth position, Wuling Hongguang Mini EV (A-segment electric sedan) was produced at 446,000 units in 2025, and practically doubles its 2024 volume (+220,000 units).
- Four electric cars therefore dominate the top four places in Chinese car production. Eight BYD models feature in the China 2025 Top 20, demonstrating the brand's clear dominance in the Chinese market and in terms of production. Also included are three Geely models, two Chery models, two Tesla models, and two VW models.
