Industry Insights

Chery’s dual-brand, multi-model matrix, with XPeng, BYD, and MG forming tiers, leaves competitors unable to defend. One blockbuster can’t prop up a market—product matrices build moats.

41.4% share is a milestone, but also a new starting line. Logistics costs, geopolitical risks, after-sales networks, parts supply—these “invisible infrastructure” determine how far you go.
