A tip of the hat is due towards Chery Malaysia as it celebrates a remarkable milestone, surpassing 30,000 units sold in less than three years since it entered the local market.
It recorded 30,073 cumulative vehicle sales as of the end of 2025 to prop itself as one of Malaysia’s fastest-growing automotive brands.
The rapid rise was foreshadowed during its first six months of 2023, selling 4,501 vehicles between June and December of that year. The milestone was eclipsed with a solid wrap up of 2025, notching 12,930 units delivered.
Chery Malaysia followed the global cue cars by initially launching with internal combustion engine (ICE) models like the Omoda 5 and Tiggo Pro 8 before introducing electrified models such as the Omoda E5 in March 2024. The Omoda 5 proved to be its best-performing model and established the marque’s foothold here.
Building on the Tiggo range followed with the Tiggo 7 Pro, Tiggo Cross Turbo and the Tiggo Cross Hybrid before the brand ventured into the PHEV segment with the Tiggo 7 PHEV and Tiggo 8 PHEV.
The Tiggo range grew to include something for every motorist, from ICE models to HEV and PHEV variants, the latter powered by the cutting-edge Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) technology. Its six dynamic variants are proving to be a major contributor for the brand here.
Chery also went the extra mile with impactful community initiatives to bolster trust. Chief amongst this was during the unfortunate fire incident in Putra Heights where the company loaned Chery vehicles to 50 affected homeowners within the very same week to ensure residents could move their belongings, travel for daily needs and manage temporary relocation. Further support for the community came in the form of funding for the National Sports Trust Fund (KWASN), in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
Growing its local network remained a key effort in cementing the brand’s presence here. A step towards that was by bridging the gap between education and employment for skilled workers. Chery Malaysia collaborated with the Belia Mahir Project to place graduates into the workforce with employment opportunities within the company.
The new year will see Chery continue development of the Chery Smart Auto Industrial Park in Lembah Beringin, Selangor. The RM2.2 billion facility spanning over 200-acres will enhance localisation, expand production capacity and create economic opportunities once its first phase is completed in the first half of the year.
Globally, Chery Group sold 2.806 million vehicles in 2025, a 7.8% year-on-year increase to maintain its position as China’s top automotive exporter with 1.344 million units shipped.
