2020 China Auto Sales Figures – By Manufacturer (Automaker Rankings)

2020 China Automotive Sales by Automaker – The Best-Selling Automotive Manufacturers By Sales Volume

The Chinese auto market in 2020 was the largest in the world, with over 25 million new cars sold. However, the market was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a decline in sales in the first half of the year. Sales recovered in the second half of the year, but for the full year, sales were down by 1.9% from 2019.

SAIC Motor became the best-selling automotive manufacturer in China in 2020, overtaking Volkswagen Group for the first time. SAIC Motor’s sales increased by over 10% from the previous year, thanks to strong sales of its Roewe and Baojun brands.
