Growth & Insights and Company News
6 month growth
↑ 4%1 year growth
↓ -1%2 year growth
↓ -2%Cheap Chinese brands make EVs the top choice for Australian drivers. A flood of cheap Chinese models resulted in electric vehicles outselling petrol and diesel cars in August. Pic: Getty Images Electric vehicles have outsold petrol and diesel cars for the first time in August as cheap Chinese brands flood the market and new models from so-called 'legacy marques'. A total of 27,089 battery EVs were sold last month, representing 24.9% of the overall market, according to the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries. Combined with hybrids, electric vehicles now account for more than half the market. Plug-in hybrids accounted for 10.5% of total new car sales, while conventional models (which don't need to be plugged in) represented 18.5%, as more Australians look to escape soaring fuel prices. Chinese brands also dominated the top 10 overall new cars sold, with BYD, Geely, Chery, GWM and Zeekr now the most popular marques in Australia. Of the legacy brands, only Toyota, Ford and Isuzu remain in the top 10. The rise in popularity of Chinese brands shows how far the Asian powerhouse has come in the past 14 years since Great Wall Motors recalled almost 21,500 vehicles after asbestos was discovered in engine and exhaust gaskets. But rampant inflation, which has often been dubbed 'greedflation', during the pandemic when a supply chain crunch sent the price of new cars among legacy brands soaring, also made more Australians consider buying cheaper Chinese brands. Under Australia's free trade agreement with China, there are also no tariffs on Chinese models entering the country. Then there is battery technology. Chinese carmakers were quicker to embrace EVs and seize on a seismic shift in the market. Legacy brands, meanwhile, have been forced to play catch-up and have since written off a combined US$55bn on EV investments as they combat aggressive pricing from China. Omoda Jaecoo chief commercial officer Roy Munoz said in the past decade Chinese brands had achieved what took Japanese and Korean carmakers 20-30 years. Jaecoo's J5 SUV, which features similar external styling cues to a Range Rover, is priced from $25,990 for its petrol variant, while the EV model costs about $10,000 more - about half what comparable SUVs from legacy brands cost. New 'mastige' segment. Munoz said this price point had led to people who would have normally considered buying a used car, buying a new vehicle. He said from February to April, orders increased 300% and has "not slowed much". "I position Omoda Jaecoo in a new segment I call 'mastige' - where we are bringing prestige levels of tech, comfort and lux to the masses. It makes it much more accessible," Munoz said. "There has always been an era where challengers come in and have done that. Stockhead saw that with Hyundai and the Excel. That was their halo product in the mid '90s. "You had the era of the battle of the hot hatches, demonstrating extreme value for money, all the while building more and more trust with customers." But the speed at which Chinese brands have been able to dominate the market have led to concerns about reliability and servicing, and if the carmakers will still be operating in the country in coming years when problems typically begin to emerge in vehicles. True EV - an Australian company that invested heavily in launching the XPeng brand locally - is suing the Chinese electric vehicle giant, alleging "unconscionable conduct" after it dissolved its exclusive distribution agreement. Omoda Jaecoo entered the market via Chery and Munoz said the brand was here for the long haul and complied with Australian regulations and offered customers an eight-year warranty. "Brand trust is something that's built over time. It has to be earned. It's not something you can just buy yourself or even shortcut. Of course, the quickest way to that is improving, constantly improving on the after-sales support and customer experience," Munoz said. "The vehicles are tested not just in China but in global markets as well. So Omoda Jaecoo is represented now in Europe, in South America, across Southeast Asia, and of course Australia. So they're tested, and even South Africa, where there'd be similarities. "They've been holding up quite well. Don't see any cases in terms of the actual rideability or any issues in that regard in terms of warranty claims. "Omoda Jaecoo is backed by the conglomerate Chery. Between the two brands, we have a network of about 180 dealers, and we're continually expanding, particularly into rural centres. So we're paying attention to where our customers are purchasing from, looking at where the car park is growing and expanding, and ensuring that we have the network to cover that." Market being democratised. Dimitri Andreatidis, marketing director of now Chinese-owned carmaker MG Motor Australia, said the EV market was being democratised. "More Australians (are) now able to access electric and hybrid vehicles across a broader range of price points, segments and use cases. MG is proud to be helping facilitate this change with our diverse vehicle line up, ensuring there is a car suitable for every Australian driver," he said. "We've seen this growth reflected in MG's sales, with our EV sales increasing 41.9 per cent from July to August. Models including the MGS5 EV, MGS6 EV and MG4 EV have all contributed to that growth." "Price remains an important part of the decision, but Stockhead is also seeing MG customers looking closely at technology, design, features and practicality. "Combined with the confidence of MG's 10-year warranty, we believe the appeal of the brand is continuing to grow as more Australians discover the breadth of choice, value and technology available across our range."
BYD's new Defender-like SUV breaks cover for the first time. September 8, 2026/in News BYD is testing a new boxy SUV positioned as a smaller, lower-priced sibling to the Ti 7 (Tai 7). Here's its first look at it.
Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD expects overseas shipments to exceed 2.5 million vehicles in 2027, two major brokerages said on Tuesday, citing a group meeting with company management. Deutsche Bank said the export target is underpinned by continued market-share gains overseas, an expanding fleet of dedicated car carriers and a growing local manufacturing footprint. BYD management guided overseas shipments to reach 1.9 million to 2 million vehicles in 2026, nearly double last year's level. BYD's Hungary plant is expected to start assembly in November or December. Local production would help BYD avoid the EU's roughly 27% tariff on battery electric vehicles and Brazil's 34% import tariff, representing savings of more than 40,000 yuan ($5,961) per vehicle. The company is targeting a 25% share of China's domestic car market.
BYD Denza Z9 GT to launch lower-cost 1,140 hp tri-motor variant on September 9. BYD's Denza brand is set to expand its Z9 GT lineup with a new tri-motor e3 variant, scheduled for release on September 9. The new model aims to offer customers a more accessible entry point to the high-performance, 1,140 hp tri-motor configuration. Denza General Manager Li Hui confirmed the addition, highlighting customer demand for "more lightweight configuration choices." New tri-motor e3 variant targets broader market. The upcoming Denza Z9 GT tri-motor e3 version is designed to bridge a 70,000-yuan gap between the current rear-wheel-drive flagship and the top-spec e3 Performance. While official pricing will be announced at launch, industry expectations place the new trim between $49,082 (~AUD 68,110) and $50,570 (~AUD 70,175). Li Hui, Denza General Manager, announced the new variant on Weibo, stating it addresses demand for tri-motor handling and 'more lightweight configuration choices.' Positioning and features. The Z9 GT plug-in hybrid (DM-i) lineup already includes two tri-motor models priced at $46,105 (~AUD 63,980) and $50,570 (~AUD 70,175). The new pure-electric trim introduces another price point for Denza's 850-kW (1,140 hp) powertrain. Unlike the high-downforce prototype seen testing in Germany, this showroom variant focuses on a lighter, more streamlined configuration. The new trim is expected to use ventilated cast-iron brake discs and a simplified cabin compared to the e3 Performance, which features carbon-ceramic brakes, dual active-compressor refrigerators, and motorised rear seats with multi-point pneumatic massage. Powertrain and technology. The powertrain remains unchanged: an 850-kW (1,140 hp) tri-motor all-wheel-drive system delivering 1,210 N·m of torque via a 230-kW front motor and two 310-kW rear permanent-magnet motors. The setup includes BYD's Blade Battery 2.0, 800V flash charging, and rear-wheel steering with up to +/-10 degrees of steering angle. The Z9 GT is also part of Denza's international expansion, having launched in Europe in April with BYD's Flash Charging technology and a starting price of roughly $133,554 (~AUD 185,331). The ultra-long-range single-motor version is rated for up to 1,036 km (~644 miles) under China's CLTC cycle, while high-output tri-motor variants for Europe are rated closer to 600 km (~373 miles) WLTP. Sales performance and market context. Domestic retail sales of the Z9 GT rose from 712 units in March to 6,025 in June, before easing 11.3% month-on-month to 5,344 units in July, according to China EV DataTracker. In July, the Z9 GT accounted for 29.6% of Denza's domestic sales, second only to the D9 MPV at 6,873 units. The July decline does not necessarily indicate a long-term trend, following a rapid sales ramp after the March update. Competitor comparison. In the expected $49,112 (~AUD 68,151) price bracket, the new Z9 GT trim competes directly with the Zeekr 001 AWD, which is priced from $44,498 (~AUD 61,749) to $48,963 (~AUD 67,945). The Denza Z9 GT offers up to 850 kW (1,140 hp), providing a 270-kW (362 hp) advantage over the Zeekr 001 AWD's 580-kW (778 hp) maximum output. Why this matters. The introduction of a lower-cost tri-motor variant makes Denza's high-performance Z9 GT more accessible to a wider range of buyers. By offering 'more lightweight configuration choices,' Denza is responding directly to customer feedback and market demand. This move also strengthens Denza's position in both domestic and international markets, providing a competitive alternative to other high-output electric vehicles in the same price segment. What this means for buyers. Buyers interested in the Z9 GT's tri-motor performance will soon have a more affordable option, with official pricing and equipment details to be revealed at launch. Those considering alternatives like the Zeekr 001 AWD may find the Denza's power advantage compelling. Potential customers should watch for additional purchase incentives and finalized specifications when the new variant is officially introduced on September 9.

BYD raises 2026 Overseas Sales Target, sets ambitious 2.5 million goal for 2027. BYD has significantly increased its overseas sales targets for 2026 and 2027, reflecting rapid international growth and a shift in focus as domestic sales decline. The company is expanding its global manufacturing and shipping capacity to support these ambitious goals. BYD increases Overseas Sales guidance for 2026. BYD management has raised its overseas sales guidance for 2026 to a range of 1.9 million to 2.0 million vehicles. This is a substantial increase from the 1.3 million target set in January and the revised 1.5 million target announced in March. The updated outlook comes as BYD's earlier goals are now within reach, driven by strong growth in international markets. Ambitious 2027 target and global expansion. Looking ahead, BYD aims to sell more than 2.5 million vehicles overseas in 2027. To achieve this, the company is expanding its dedicated vehicle carrier fleet and increasing local production at overseas plants. BYD's Indonesian facility has already started production, the Brazilian plant is ramping up toward an annual capacity of 300,000 vehicles, and the Hungarian plant is expected to begin assembly in November or December. Management is also evaluating additional overseas manufacturing locations. Sales performance and market shifts. In the first eight months of 2026, BYD's overseas sales rose 85.72% year-on-year to 1,162,260 vehicles, while domestic sales fell 32.72% to 1,505,755 vehicles. Total sales for the period declined 6.84% to 2,668,015 vehicles. August saw a record 189,466 overseas sales, up 134.45% year-on-year and accounting for 43.03% of total sales that month. To meet its full-year guidance, BYD needs to average 184,000 to 209,000 overseas sales per month for the remainder of the year. Profitability and investment in overseas markets. BYD reported a profit of about $2,970 (~AUD 4,123) per vehicle sold overseas in the first half of 2026. The company expects this figure to remain broadly stable in the near term, as gains from higher volumes are balanced by ongoing investments in expanding the sales network and ramping up new factories. Charging infrastructure and technology initiatives. BYD is investing heavily in charging infrastructure to support its growing fleet. The company reiterated its target of building 20,000 flash charging stations in China by the end of 2026, with plans to add 30,000 more in 2027 and 40,000 in 2028, reaching a total of 90,000 stations. Overseas, BYD plans to deploy 6,000 flash charging stations, with 3,000 in Europe, 2,000 in the Americas, and 1,000 in the Asia-Pacific region by the end of March 2027, according to Li Yunfei, general manager of branding and public relations. Intelligent driving and market share goals. BYD is also focusing on intelligent driving technology, with management expecting significant improvements in its in-house capabilities in 2027. The company is preparing for China's anticipated introduction of Level 3 autonomous-driving regulations that year. BYD will continue to develop its own solutions while allowing external suppliers to compete for projects. Management believes that ongoing R&D investment, the scale of its vehicle data, and vertical integration will help extend its technological edge. Domestically, BYD's market share has increased in successive months, and the company has outlined a target of about 25% of the Chinese market, though no specific timeline was given. Why this matters. BYD's aggressive overseas expansion marks a significant shift in the global EV landscape, as the company seeks to offset declining domestic sales with rapid international growth. The focus on expanding manufacturing, shipping, and charging infrastructure demonstrates BYD's commitment to becoming a major global player. For the broader industry, BYD's targets highlight the increasing importance of international markets for Chinese automakers and the growing competition in the global EV sector. What this means for buyers. Buyers can expect to see more BYD vehicles available in overseas markets as the company ramps up local production and expands its charging network. Those considering a BYD EV may benefit from improved access to service and infrastructure, especially in regions targeted for new manufacturing and charging facilities. Prospective buyers should watch for further announcements on local plant openings and charging station rollouts in their regions.
