SAIC Motor in its own words: what the company profile says about 2025 sales, NEVs and overseas volume

A standing reference entry on what SAIC Motor publishes about itself: the 2025 wholesale and retail sales figures, self-owned brand and new energy vehicle volumes, overseas sales, the Fortune Global 500 ranking of July 2026, and the footprint the manufacturer describes. All figures are manufacturer-reported for China's SAIC Motor as stated on its own corporate profile.

This is a files entry: a standing reference to what SAIC Motor says about itself, drawn from the company profile the manufacturer publishes on its own corporate site. SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, stock code 600104, achieved its full public listing in 2011. The profile carries a set of dated, quotable figures for 2025 that the company reports about its own performance, and they are presented here as manufacturer-reported numbers, not as independently verified results.

The headline figures for 2025, as SAIC Motor states them, are wholesale sales of 4.507 million vehicles and retail sales of 4.67 million vehicles, which the company describes as continuing to lead the domestic industry. The distinction matters: wholesale and retail are counted differently, and the two numbers on the page describe the same year. These are China-market, manufacturer-reported volumes; this article holds no measurement of ours and no independent check of the count.

Self-owned brands, NEVs and overseas sales

Within the 2025 total, the profile breaks out three lines that SAIC Motor emphasizes. Sales of its self-owned brands reached 2.928 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 21.6 percent that the company says accounted for nearly 65 percent of total sales. New energy vehicle sales climbed to 1.643 million units, which the company describes as a 33 percent year-on-year increase. Overseas sales totaled 1.071 million vehicles, marking a year-on-year growth of 3.1 percent.

Each line is the manufacturer's own count for its own business. The growth percentages are the company's year-on-year comparisons against its own prior-year figures as printed on the profile; we have not seen the underlying prior-year statements and make no judgment on them.

The July 2026 Fortune Global 500 entry

In July 2026, SAIC Motor was ranked 125th on the Fortune Global 500 list with a revenue of $91.301 billion, which the company states is drawn from its 2025 consolidated financial statements. The profile describes this as the company's 22nd appearance on the list. The ranking is Fortune's, the revenue figure is the company's consolidated 2025 statement as cited by SAIC, and the market scope of that consolidation is not broken out on the profile page.

What the company says about its structure and footprint

Beyond the sales and ranking lines, the profile describes how the business is organized and how widely it reaches. These are the company's own descriptions of its operations:

  • Six segments: complete vehicles, components, mobility services, finance, international operations, and innovative technology, which the company describes as a structure where the vehicle segment takes the lead with the six segments collaborating.
  • Domestic manufacturing: 13 complete vehicle manufacturing bases, along with corresponding parts and logistics bases, in regions including Northeast China, East China, South China, Southwest China, Central South China, and Northwest China.
  • Overseas manufacturing: 9 overseas vehicle manufacturing bases and KD factories, which the company says it has set up, alongside participation in the "Belt and Road Initiative".
  • Reach: products and services in over 170 countries and regions worldwide, with more than 3,800 global marketing and service outlets.

How to read a manufacturer's self-description

A company profile is a marketing document as well as a data source. The figures are precise and dated, but they are the manufacturer's own counts, with the company's own framing — including the claim to lead the domestic industry. Where a figure names no test cycle, market definition or counting method beyond what is printed, the gap stays a gap. This entry makes no reliability verdict, no review and no comparison; it records what one manufacturer published, with the dates it carries.

To check any of this yourself, open SAIC Motor's company profile page at saicmotor.com under Company Profile / About Us, where the 2025 sales figures and the July 2026 Fortune Global 500 entry appear in the opening paragraphs. For the revenue line, Fortune's own Global 500 list for 2026 is the body that issued the ranking. Sales figures for the Chinese market can also be cross-checked against the monthly and annual wholesale releases of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), which publishes industry-wide counts; note that industry-body counting methods may differ from the company's own wholesale and retail split.
