On February 5, 2026, Changan Automobile released its global sales and delivery data for January 2026. Against the backdrop of the industry's traditional off-season and the proactive adjustment of internal delivery pacing, Changan Automobile achieved a global delivery volume of 170,831 vehicles, with both its classic models and new energy product lines showing steady momentum, laying a solid foundation for high-quality development in the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan."
Classic Foundation and New Energy Leap Advance Together, Product Matrix Resilience Stands Out
At the turn of the year, facing a complex market environment, Changan Automobile adhered to strategic focus in responding to cyclical fluctuations. Its targeted measures centered on "improving efficiency, reducing inventory, adjusting structure, and seizing new products" were initially reflected in the first month of the year. In January, while in the phase of proactively adjusting its delivery structure, Changan Automobile's delivery data clearly reflected the healthy pattern of dual-wheel drive between its "classic foundation" and "new energy engine."
The classic vehicle series demonstrated enduring vitality, reinforcing its role as the market's ballast. As the brand's flagship, the Changan CS75 series recorded sales of 17,822 units in January, up 11.6% month-on-month. Its cumulative global sales have historically surpassed the 3 million mark, making it one of the few members of the "3 Million Club" among self-owned brand SUVs, confirming its outstanding product strength tempered by the market; the Changan Eado series sold 14,760 units in January, achieving over 10,000 units in sales for 11 consecutive months and successfully defending its title as the 2025 sales champion of Chinese self-owned fuel sedans. This is not only market recognition of a single product, but also affirmation of Changan Automobile's continued technological renewal in the traditional powertrain field.
The new energy matrix advanced comprehensively, becoming the core driving force for growth. Deepal Automobile continued to demonstrate the vitality of a technology brand, with its star model Deepal S05 surpassing 170,000 cumulative sales, firmly remaining in the "10,000-unit monthly sales club," with market enthusiasm undiminished. The Changan Nevo brand delivered 14,759 units across its entire lineup in January, among which AQ series models saw deliveries rise sharply by 35.2% year-on-year. Its models launched fierce offensives: cumulative deliveries of the Nevo A06 quickly exceeded 21,460 units after launch, setting a new delivery speed record for central state-owned enterprise new energy mid-size sedans; cumulative deliveries of the all-new Nevo Q05 reached 13,078 units and are accelerating into Southeast Asian markets, opening a new process of global delivery.
Three Major Strategic Plans Accelerate in Depth, Technology Leadership Builds Core Moat
In the face of fierce competition, Changan Automobile's steady pace at the start of the year stems from its firm advancement of the "three major plans" and continuous gains. Steady progress in the new energy "Shangri-La" plan: it has built a matrix of three global digital-intelligent new energy brands: Avatr, Deepal Automobile, and Changan Nevo. According to the plan, the self-developed "Golden Bell Shield" solid-state battery is expected to enter the vehicle installation verification stage before the third quarter of this year, laying out next-generation power technology in advance.
Accelerating implementation of the intelligent "Beidou Tianshu" plan: it has built the world-leading central ring network SDA platform, released the "New Changan, New Safety — Tianshu Intelligent" brand, extending safety to a full-dimensional "pan-safety" covering driving, health, psychology, and privacy, and has been issued the country's first official license plate dedicated to L3 autonomous driving, taking the lead in opening a new stage of compliant mass production for high-level intelligent driving. At present, Changan Automobile is in Yakeshi at minus 30°C extreme cold, announcing that the world's first mass-produced passenger vehicle with a sodium battery has officially hit the road, kicking off the hardcore 2026 global vehicle testing season.
Accelerating expansion of the global "Haina Baichuan" plan: as of now, Changan Automobile products have been sold to 117 countries worldwide, with 41 models launched cumulatively and 19 overseas KD projects completed, outlining a preliminary global industrial map.
As the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan," 2026 has been given a pragmatic tone of "seeking progress while maintaining stability and improving quality and efficiency" by Changan Automobile, with a clear focus on the two preparations of "building global blockbuster products" and "forging ultimate technology," and comprehensively enhancing core competitiveness through four systematic actions. At the beginning of the new year, Changan Automobile demonstrated development resilience under strategic leadership with solid delivery data and a clear technology roadmap. A "New Changan" driven by innovation, centered on safety, and with a global vision is accelerating its transformation into an intelligent low-carbon mobility technology company with steady and firm steps, striding toward becoming a world-class automobile brand.
