Gasgoo Munich- SAIC-GM-Wuling reported global sales of 105,792 units in January.
Overseas performance stood out, with sales climbing more than 40% year-on-year to underpin the total tally. That growth significantly outpaced the company's overall average, signaling that its internationalization strategy is gaining real traction.
Wuling vehicles now reach more than 100 countries and regions. The company has established assembly bases in select emerging markets, building a diversified export model that combines complete vehicle shipments, knock-down kit assembly, and brand operations. This rapid international expansion provides an effective counterbalance to cyclical fluctuations at home.

On the domestic front, SAIC-GM-Wuling's foundation remains solid. Its mass-market EV series — headlined by the Hongguang MINIEV and Wuling Binguo — continues to drive volume in their respective segments.
At the same time, the brand is pushing ahead with product and technology upgrades targeted for 2026. New models featuring advanced intelligent tech, developed jointly with supply chain partners, are already in the pipeline to meet rising domestic consumer demands. The shift from electrification to intelligentization defines the company's next phase of development in China.
Taken together, SAIC-GM-Wuling's January 2026 figures highlight a "dual-track" development strategy spanning both domestic and international markets. While the domestic business seeks to upgrade its massive scale base, overseas operations have emerged as a distinct and powerful growth engine.
