The latest report from the Passenger Car Association reveals the November 2025 sales rankings and market analysis for passenger vehicles in China. Breaking down the data by segment, here are the key highlights:
**Sedan Sales Rankings** The top 10 sedan models saw four gainers in November, with Tesla's Model 3 making the most significant leap—rising 43 spots to rank sixth, selling 26,013 units, its highest monthly volume in 2025. The Wuling Hongguang MINIEV retained its top position with 56,756 units, followed by the Geely Xingyuan (42,038 units) and the Nissan Sylphy (38,434 units), which climbed one spot from October. The Sylphy’s steady growth is attributed to current discounts of around ¥35,000 on outgoing models ahead of the next-gen launch in Q1 2026.
Notably, seven of the top 10 sedans were priced below ¥100,000, with five being new energy vehicles (NEVs), underscoring the dominance of affordable electric and hybrid models. Meanwhile, traditional fuel-powered sedans like the Volkswagen Passat, Toyota Camry, and Volkswagen Magotan (all priced above ¥100,000) remained popular.
**SUV Sales Rankings** Tesla’s Model Y reclaimed the top SUV spot with 47,132 units, surpassing the Xiaomi YU7 (which held steady at October’s sales level). The refreshed Model Y lineup, including the Long Range variant, broadened consumer options. Xiaomi’s YU7, however, faces delivery delays of up to 28 weeks due to production bottlenecks, though the brand’s December "ready-to-drive" inventory push (including demo and near-new units) may boost near-term sales.
Another standout was the AITO M7, which jumped 10 spots with 25,264 units sold—a surge of 9,193 units from October. Its revamped September launch, offering extended-range and pure electric versions (priced at ¥279,800–¥359,800 and ¥319,800–¥379,800, respectively), drove demand, with over 10,000 orders secured within five minutes of release.
The ¥200,000–¥250,000 segment dominated SUV sales, with the top four models falling in this range. The Fangchengbao Titanium 7 hit a record 24,019 units, while the Toyota RAV4 (launched at the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show) sold 19,252 units in November.
**MPV Sales Rankings** The Wey GAOShan was the sole MPV to exceed 10,000 units (10,416 sold), trailed by the Voyah Dreamer (9,027 units, including 323 pure electric and 8,704 plug-in hybrid variants). The newly launched Wuling Xingguang 730 (priced at ¥70,000–¥100,000) filled a market gap, offering fuel, EV, and PHEV options, with its hybrid and fuel versions each surpassing 3,000 units.
High-end MPVs (mostly above ¥200,000) led the segment, with seven of the top 10 models featuring NEV variants. Domestic brands dominated this space.
**Market Overview** November 2025 saw 2.225 million passenger vehicles sold nationwide, down 8.1% year-on-year and 1.1% month-on-month. NEV sales bucked the trend, rising 4.2% YoY to 1.321 million units. Industry experts anticipate a December rebound, fueled by year-end tax incentives (a 5% purchase tax hike for NEVs in 2026) and consumer urgency to secure deliveries.
