Gasgoo Munich- Chongqing Changan Automobile Co. Ltd. has released its production and sales flash report for February 2026. The data reveals that while the Lunar New Year holiday dampened overall sales year-on-year, new energy vehicles and overseas operations stood out as key growth drivers.
According to the filing, Changan sold 151,922 vehicles in February 2026—a 5.89% drop from the 161,435 units sold a year earlier, though up 12.8% from January. Production, meanwhile, fell 34.19% year-on-year to 104,335 units. While the annual comparison remains under pressure, the monthly jump of 12.8% signals a solid recovery.
A closer look at the sales mix reveals bright spots. The new energy vehicle segment emerged as the primary engine for growth, with sales climbing 6.42% to 42,195 units—bucking the broader market downturn. Overseas expansion also gained significant traction, with exports surging to 64,876 units and providing a substantial boost to the total tally.
Breaking it down by brand, sales of self-owned brands slipped 9.03% to 124,524 units. However, Changan Qiyuan was a standout performer, delivering 18,300 vehicles—a 30.4% annual surge and a massive 96.3% jump from the previous month.
On a cumulative basis, Changan sold 286,623 vehicles in the first two months of 2026, a 34.43% decline from the same period last year. The automaker noted that these figures include results from joint ventures and associates, and are preliminary statistics subject to adjustment in regular reports.
