As China entering the “golden September silver October” auto sales season, here is some of my forward lookings:

By the end of this year:

HIMA monthly sales:
AITO M9: 10000
M8: 15000
M7: 25000
Luxeed R7: 7000
S7: 3000
Stelato S9 + S9T: 10000
SAIC H5: 20000

With M5 redesign next year and new model from SAIC, HIMA 100k units per month in 2026 will be in a striking distance. By the end of 2026, ADS 5.0 would have been released. And I am pretty sure now that L3 regulation will be enacted no later than Shanghai Auto Show 2026 in Shanghai April. By then China NEV RMB >300k segments would have clearly divided.

BYD Shark 6 is still going strong at 1261 vehicles sold for the month, but it's worth noting that it actually hasn't been BYD's top-seller here these past couple of months, that honour going to Sealion 7.
Wasn't the Shark demand in AU highly front-loaded due to some kind of EV incentive that expired recently?
I think I read for the first 6 months BYD was beating Isuzu and Mazda despite those two having decades of selling pickups, and BYD having none.

Bad news guys.
I'm not sure if I can post this here but this thread seems to be about Chinese EV so I'm speaking here.

My dad's Chinese EV Omoda C5 just broke down today. It broke down while being driven by my mom on the road. Thankfully, she was driving it on the left lane so she parked it next to the sidewalk.
The time when the vehicle broke down was during a heavy rain, although no flooding from what I saw when I got to where the Omoda was.

It has already been sent back for repair, but this incident pretty much made my dad put a break on purchasing EVs for a while. I just hope this will be the only time it broke down.
You think that's bad? My experience with an EV made by a Hitler company just spent 1/3rd of the month in the shop...
Cameras still aren't working properly! The shop says "Can't find the issue! sorry!"

Hopefully you have better luck than me.
