ChangAn records strongest H1 performance in 8 years, accelerates NEV momentum

ChangAn Automobile has announced its global sales results for the first half of 2025, achieving a total of 1.355 million units sold worldwide—marking the company’s best H1 performance in nearly eight years.

Middle East & Africa in Focus

ChangAn’s international growth strategy is increasingly focused on emerging markets. The Middle East and Africa region has been highlighted as a key pillar of its global vision. With the recent launch of DEEPAL in Europe, including its entry into Norway, the company is now shifting focus toward further NEV expansion in the Middle East.

In the region, ChangAn is working closely with local partners to expand service networks, introduce more NEV models, and provide tailored experiences for local consumers. The company aims to capitalise on the rising demand for intelligent, sustainable vehicles across Gulf markets.

“These outstanding results reflect the strength of ChangAn’s global strategy and our growing relevance in the new energy space,” said Mr. Xiao, General Manager of ChangAn Middle East and Africa. “The Middle East and Africa are central to our future vision—we’re seeing increasing enthusiasm for innovation, sustainability, and intelligent driving experiences.”
