Geely sold 1.33m cars in 2021, targets 1.65m in 2022

Geely Automobile Holding has announced that it sold 1,328,029 vehicles globally in 2021, an increase of approximately 1% over its 2020 performance. That figure is 13% shy of the group’s original 2021 forecast of 1,530,000 vehicles. No official explanation was provided to account for the deficit at press time.

Sales were pretty consistent throughout the year. In December 2021, global sales stood at 158,765 units (3% increase year-on-year, up 17% from November 2021), of which 18,813 units (or 12%; up 162% from the same period last year) were new energy vehicles. Export volume is also up 44% year-on-year to 17,125 units.

The most popular type of car is SUVs, with 90,966 units sold in December alone. That’s 57% of its total monthly sale, followed by sedans with 66,303 units (42%). The remaining 1% of sales (1,496 units) came from its MPV range.

Looking at Lynk & Co (jointly established by Geely Auto and Volvo), it sold 220,516 units of vehicles through 2021, an increase of 26% from 2020. The 01 SUV found 11,602 new homes in Europe. In December, it welcomed 1,557 new subscription customers for the SUV, and the subscription portfolio saw a total of 5,937 units delivered in 2021.

Geely’s newest firm Zeekr only began delivering vehicles at the end of October. Within 10 weeks, 6,007 units of the hotly-in-demand 001 were delivered. The world’s first electric shooting brake is currently only sold in China, but Zeekr said export plans are set to kick off in 2023.

Geely’s board has set a sales volume target of 1,650,000 units for 2022, an ambitious 24% increase from its total sales in 2021.

    in coming decade, China auto brands will give other auto makers a run for their money world wide just like what is happening right now in China.

    There is a hypothetical question “What if Geely pulls out from Proton?”
    Can P1 rely on its ever Jurassic Campro engine?

    • Why do you think so? Didn’t Perodua want to sell engines to Proton? Plug something else in, then Proton will have a new engine. Simple.

      I think only highly non-technical people think Proton cannot change its engines. Every car can change.

    • The key problem with Proton was likely the people who suck, and those who think they must stay.

      If the gomen EV policies are implemented properly, P1 would not need another ICE as it would be using battery powered electric motors.

      Hypothetical question, “What if Daihatsu sold its shares in Perodua?” Would they go back to their…oh wait…Perodua has never built its own engine nor its own chassis so it would be left with butkus!

      What a dumb troll question to ask.

        Actually nobody really cares whether P2 can built its own engines & chassis. P2’s existence came into being because by the early 1990’s, there were many complaints that P1 could not keep the price of its cheapest model below RM30k. Today P2 still offers at least one model, the Axia E, below RM30k, albeit with the bare minimum in features & accessories, but it is still road legal nevertheless.

          We care bcoz P2 cars are getting F8king moar pricier with each year. Myvi from 45k now approaching 60k??? F8k you P2! They are just taking advantage of B40s & lower M40s who could not afford a better car. Those buying Iriz are informed buyers whom sick & tired of P2 unethical business practices of taking advantage the downtrodden rakyats with very little choice. Try opening the market, they will be first to die.

    • Proton can pay money and buy the outdated engine form others. Nvr, can always ask government to take money form tax payers’ hard earned money to raise all the staffs in Proton. Many has forgotten. Proton is no more a national car. Proton is just a car brand owned by Malaysian.
