The year-end sales weakness was partly due to the suspension of vehicle trade-in subsidies in major Chinese cities starting in mid-November, dealing a blow to the broader industry.

The company's sales target for 2026 is set at 3.45 million vehicles, representing a 14% increase.

Geely Auto aims to sell 2.22 million new energy vehicles (NEVs) in 2026, marking a 32% increase from the previous year.
