January 1, 2026 (Shanghai) – SAIC-AUDI delivered 47,258 vehicles in 2025, marking a 23% year-on-year increase and completing a three-year growth run. The performance was fueled by two key launches:

• The A5L Sportback, the first ICE model featuring Huawei’s Qiankun intelligent system
• The E5 Sportback BEV, blending German luxury with Chinese tech

The brand expanded its retail network to 200+ full-service centers across 100+ Chinese cities while upgrading its app with AI-driven customization. SAIC-AUDI will debut the E7X electric SUV at April’s Beijing Auto Show to accelerate its EV push.

Editor’s Note:

SAIC-AUDI’s hybrid tech-transition strategy – marrying Audi’s heritage with localized digital ecosystems – proves increasingly viable in China’s polarized premium market. Sustaining momentum demands faster BEV portfolio expansion as rivals like BMW ramp up pure-electric offerings.
