China exported 8.32 million cars in 2025, up 30% year-on-year, and 3.43 million NEVs with a 70% YoY growth. Mexico became the No.1 export market with 625,200 units for the first time, beating Russia's 582,700 units. The UAE took the third place with 571,900 units and was the fastest-growing market with an increase of 241,700 units, making China's auto export mix more diverse.
Overall: China's NEV exports reached 3.43 million units in 2025, up 70% YoY and making up 41.2% of total auto exports (8.32 million units), acting as the key growth engine.
PHEV Surge: PHEVs' market share jumped from 5% (2024) to 13%. Exports hit 690,000 units in Jan-Sep, with a 208% YoY growth – far exceeding pure electric vehicles, ideal for markets with poor charging facilities and tariff-saving needs.
Lower Average Price: The average export price of Chinese cars fell to $16,000 (15.8% down from $19,000 in 2023), mainly due to less Tesla exports and more mid-to-low-end models, fueling fiercer cost-performance competition.
Diversified Markets: Mexico became the No.1 export market for the first time (625,200 units), and emerging markets like the UAE and the UK drove the main export growth.
