Chery Automobile has stormed past the 20 million global vehicle sales milestone, while simultaneously rewriting China’s automotive history by becoming the first Chinese carmaker to export more than 200,000 vehicles in a single month.

The twin achievements, celebrated by Carloha Nigeria, the authorised distributor of Chery vehicles in Nigeria, underscore the remarkable rise of the Chinese automaker from a domestic brand to a global automotive powerhouse with a growing footprint in more than 110 countries and regions.

Nearly one-third of Chery’s cumulative sales now come from overseas markets, reflecting soaring demand across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

According to Carloha Nigeria, the record-breaking performance reinforces global confidence in Chery’s cutting-edge technology, premium quality, safety standards and value-for-money proposition.

“Surpassing 20 million global vehicle sales is a testament to Chery’s unwavering commitment to innovation, quality, safety and customer satisfaction,” said Felix Mahan, General Manager, Marketing, Carloha Nigeria.

“For customers in Nigeria, this achievement provides even greater confidence that they are investing in a globally trusted automotive brand with proven success across international markets.”

Chery’s export record—more than 200,000 vehicles shipped in July 2026—marks another watershed moment, reinforcing its leadership in China’s rapidly expanding automotive export market.

The automaker continues to invest aggressively in research and development, New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), intelligent connectivity and advanced manufacturing, strengthening its competitiveness against established global brands.

In Nigeria, Carloha is driving Chery’s expansion with a growing range of premium SUVs and NEVs backed by the CarlohaCare 6-6-7 ownership package, featuring a six-year warranty, six years of complimentary scheduled servicing, a seven-day repair promise and a 24-hour nationwide rescue service.

“As Chery continues to break global records, Carloha Nigeria will ensure Nigerian customers enjoy not only globally acclaimed vehicles but also the exceptional ownership experience that distinguishes the Chery brand,” Mahan added.

With record sales, record exports and continued investment in future mobility, Chery is rapidly strengthening its position as one of the world’s most influential automotive manufacturers.
