Based on the data released so far, most automakers saw a rebound in sales in May, gradually emerging from the off-season that began at the start of the year.
Below is a summary of deliveries by major automakers in May 2026:
Nio
Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) delivered 37,705 vehicles in May, marking a new high for the year.
This strong monthly delivery figure represents a 62.3% increase year-on-year and a 28.44% month-on-month increase from April.
This was primarily driven by continued strong deliveries of the ES8 SUV under Nio's main brand, with 11,475 units delivered in May; the new L80 SUV from the Onvo sub-brand delivered 5,949 units in its first half-month on the market.
Xpeng
Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV) saw its deliveries continue to decline year-on-year last month, mainly because the new GX SUV has yet to contribute significantly.
The company delivered 32,158 vehicles in May, a 4.08% year-on-year decline, marking the fifth consecutive month of year-on-year declines in monthly deliveries. However, this represents a 3.70% month-on-month increase compared to April.
The company officially launched the GX SUV on May 20 and began deliveries on May 26, though large-scale deliveries are expected to take place this month.
Xiaomi EV
Xiaomi EV said that its May deliveries continued to exceed 30,000 units. In line with its usual practice, the company did not provide a specific figure. Detailed May delivery data is expected to be available later this month in the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) monthly report.
Xiaomi EV delivered a total of 36,702 vehicles in April. The new-generation SU7 sedan accounted for over 70% of this total, while the YU7 SUV made up the remainder of sales.
Huawei HIMA
The Huawei-backed HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance) business delivered 46,122 vehicles in May, marking a 3.77% year-on-year increase and a 40.79% month-on-month rise.
This marks the second consecutive month of month-on-month delivery growth for the business, following a 23.17% increase in April.
Under the HIMA initiative, Huawei has partnered with local automakers to launch five new brands: Stelato (BAIC Group), Aito (Seres Group), Luxeed (Chery), Maextro (Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group, JAC), and Shangjie (SAIC Motor).
The alliance recorded cumulative deliveries of about 192,000 units from January to May this year, representing a 26.5% increase compared to the same period last year.
SAIC-GM-Wuling
SAIC-GM-Wuling reported total sales of 126,087 units in May, including 74,178 NEVs and 30,090 units sold overseas.
The company highlighted that the Huajing S, developed in collaboration with Huawei, officially launched on May 8 and delivered 3,603 units in its first three weeks.
IM Motors
IM Motors, the electric vehicle (EV) division of SAIC Motor (SSE: 600104), delivered 10,023 vehicles in May.
