Chery Climbs To Tenth In Australian Sales Rankings
3rd September: Chery Australia has quietly shuffled its way up the pecking order and, rather to everyone’s surprise, finished tenth in overall sales in August for the first time. It is the sort of achievement that makes accountants smile and competitors look over their shoulders.
The Tiggo 4 led the charge, having already claimed the title of best-selling small SUV in July, and the entire range shifted a record 3,305 units in August. That is not a fluke. It is the result of eight consecutive months of rising sales, which suggests this is a brand on the move rather than one enjoying a brief spurt of good fortune.
Company leadership was quick to praise the local team, the dealer network and the customers who have been coming through the doors. The sentiment is simple: hard work and a product people find hard to refuse have combined to produce this milestone, and the plan is to keep growing market share and brand awareness across Australia.
Sales Performance And Momentum
So far in 2025 more than 20,000 new Chery vehicles have been placed with Aussie buyers, and year-to-date sales are up a staggering 229.8 percent. That puts Chery in the fast lane as the fastest-growing brand in the Australian market. When numbers move like that, you stop calling it a trend and start calling it a run.
This sustained growth is no accident. A rising model lineup, competitive pricing and a dealership network that actually turns up for customers are the three ingredients. Keep those working and the momentum tends to take care of itself.
New Energy Lineup
Part of the acceleration comes from a broadened product range that now includes new energy models. The Tiggo 4 Hybrid joins the roster alongside the Chery Super Hybrid versions of the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8. These Super Hybrids are claimed to travel up to 1,200 kilometres on a combined tank and charge, which, if it holds true on the open road, is the sort of figure that makes long-distance driving suddenly much less tedious.
The move into hybrid territory is an obvious play for buyers who want efficiency without having to rearrange their lives around charging stations. In short, more choice and longer range make the cars easier to live with.
What This Means For Buyers
For Australian drivers it means more competitive choices in the showroom and better value on offer. If you prefer your motoring sensible but not dull, and you like a deal where miles and features come without an outrageously inflated price tag, Chery’s recent run will have caught your attention.
Whether this surge continues will depend on product quality, aftersales support and the simple matter of whether customers keep showing up. For now, Chery has the wind behind it, and that will do nicely.
