Traditional players like Chery and Changan are sticking to a dual strategy: using internal combustion engines to stabilize their base while pushing for volume with new energy offerings. Their broad product lines provide resilience, yet differences in transition speeds have led to noticeable swings in sales and rankings. As for Haval and Jetour, they are maintaining their footing through niche positioning, though the pressure to move upmarket continues to mount.Overall, competition among Chinese brands intensified in June 2026, with a clear split emerging between those leading in new energy and those falling behind. Top players are breaking away, while mid-tier brands see frequent rank changes. The independent rise of EV sub-brands within larger portfolios is becoming a major factor in this shifting landscape. Today, the key drivers for advancing are new energy penetration rates, refined multi-brand management, and cost control. Above all, the competitiveness of new energy products is reshaping the rankings and pushing the industry toward higher-quality growth.
