Nearly a thousand industrial robots form a "steel forest", supported by self-developed digital bases and AI vision "sky eyes", achieving stamping accuracy of 1.8 microns and welding automation rate of 100%... Walking into the BYD Shenshan factory, where a complete vehicle is produced in 51 seconds, the tense and orderly production scene is reflected. The Equation Leopard Titanium 7 has been on the market for 80 days, with cumulative sales exceeding 50000 units and an average transaction price of over 210000 yuan. By December 2025, sales will exceed 34000 units. ”Xiong Tianbo, General Manager of Equation Leopard Automotive, said. An efficient intelligent manufacturing system, strong local supply chain capabilities, rapid technological iteration, and intensive deployment of highly competitive new products, combined with policy combination effects, effectively release domestic demand for automobiles and promote sustained growth in China's automobile production and sales. China's automobile production and sales have maintained a scale of over 30 million vehicles for three consecutive years, and have been ranked first in the world for 17 consecutive years. In the complex situation of increasing external pressure and more internal difficulties, the impressive performance of the automotive industry reflects the strong resilience and surging momentum of China's economy to move forward under pressure and develop towards new and better directions. Deeply cultivating electrification and integrating multiple technological routes for innovation. On the morning of December 23, 2025, in Mohe, the temperature was minus 28 degrees Celsius. Zhang Luchao, a system control development engineer at Geely Automobile Research Institute, opened the Galaxy Starship 7 that had been idle overnight and conducted a 10 kilometer test during peak traffic hours. Today's test is the Geely Xingrui AI Cloud Power Intelligent Energy Management System. ”Zhang Luchao introduced that AI algorithms can autonomously learn user usage habits, and intelligently choose whether to heat the battery pack based on parameters such as driving time, temperature inside and outside the car, weather, and remaining battery power. The thermal management power consumption can be reduced by up to 30%. By 2025, the average driving range of pure electric passenger vehicles in China will approach 500 kilometers, with the mass application of 800 volt high-voltage silicon carbide platform and fast charging technology that charges 80% in 15 minutes; All solid state batteries have entered the stage of small-scale trial production and are sprinting towards the 2027 mass production target at full speed; Through the integration and innovation of multiple technological routes such as electrification, efficient internal combustion engines, hydrogen fuel, and synthetic fuel, China's unique "super electric hybrid technology" that can be oiled, electrified, hybrid, and extended range has been fully popularized and has become a successful example of reverse technology output to multinational automakers. The continuous advancement of electrification technology has greatly alleviated consumers' energy replenishment anxiety, allowing new energy vehicles to continue promoting the process of replacing traditional fuel vehicles. By 2025, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China will reach 16.626 million and 16.49 million respectively, an increase of 29% and 28.2% year-on-year. The sales of new energy vehicles will account for 47.9% of the total sales of new cars. The leading electrification technology has also pushed China's new energy vehicle exports to a new level, with 2.615 million units exported by 2025, a year-on-year increase of twice. Among them, the export of new energy passenger vehicles was 2.532 million units, a year-on-year increase of twice; The export of new energy commercial vehicles reached 83000 units, a year-on-year increase of 86.8%. Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 5 is currently in a critical period of technology closed-loop verification and vector production adaptation transition, with a research and development investment of up to 10 billion yuan towards "mass production applications" and a strong advantage of "computing power+algorithm+data". On the basis of over 1 million Qiankun intelligent driving vehicles and active users accounting for more than 95%, safety and experience will be further improved, and it is expected to start large-scale installation in the second half of 2026. Statistics show that the proportion of new passenger car sales in China with L2 level combined driving assistance functions has exceeded 60%. On December 15, 2025, two models of Changan and BAIC obtained the first batch of L3 level conditional autonomous driving vehicle access permits. China's autonomous vehicle is accelerating from "technical verification" to a new stage of "mass production application", which is expected to become one of the earliest commercialization scenarios for the implementation of embodied intelligence. Cutting edge technologies such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and next-generation communication have been the first to achieve large-scale applications in the automotive industry, making the automotive industry a key carrier for the validation and commercialization of new quality productivity related technologies. ”Zhang Yongwei, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the China Electric Vehicle Hundred People's Association, said. Since last year, with the suspension of the "price war", 17 car companies promising payment terms of no more than 60 days, strengthening product consistency checks, and carrying out anti unfair competition law enforcement and other anti internal competition measures in the automotive industry, the once deeply troubled problems of disorderly price wars, continuous decline in industry efficiency, false advertising, and black public relations in the domestic automotive industry have been gradually corrected. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the automotive industry's profits increased by 4.4% from January to October 2025. From January to November 2025, the automotive industry's profits will grow by 7.5%, an increase of 3.1 percentage points compared to January to October. With the transformation from extensive development relying on resource input and low price competition to technological innovation and value upgrading, mainstream car companies are making efforts in high-quality supply, and brands are taking new steps forward. In 2025, a batch of flagship models representing the core technological strength of the brand will be recognized by the market. Among them, Hongmeng Zhixing's Zunjie S800 accounts for about 50% of the sales of million yuan luxury cars, while the Wenjie M9, M8, and M7 respectively topped the sales charts in the 500000 yuan, 400000 yuan, and 300000 yuan SUV markets; Lantu Dreamer has won the monthly sales champion of high-end MPVs, with an average bicycle price exceeding 400000 yuan; The Jike 009 and 9X respectively won the championship in the luxury pure electric MPV and large SUV segments priced over 400000 yuan and 500000 yuan, respectively. Industry statistics show that by 2025, the sales of domestic high-end new energy brands represented by Wenjie, Ideal, Jike, Lantu, Xiaomi, etc. will increase by over 40% year-on-year. Chen Shihua, Deputy Secretary General of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said that with the smooth and orderly connection of the "two new" policies, China's automobile industry will continue to promote high-quality development in 2026, and the overall market will remain stable.
