Registration data for June shows that 75% of CHERY UK customers selected the CHERY Super Hybrid (CSH) powertrain, accounting for 2,861 of the brand’s total registrations for the month.
Plug-in hybrids were one of the fastest-growing fuel types in the UK during June, with registrations up 24.9% year-on-year to 26,702 units – a 12.5% share of the market, and part of a sustained shift over the first half of the year, with UK PHEV registrations up 38.4% to 148,132 units since January.
It’s a trend CHERY UK is well placed to capture, with CHERY Super Hybrid (CSH) technology – which combines all-electric driving for shorter journeys with the reassurance of a highly efficient petrol engine for longer trips – available on the TIGGO 7, TIGGO 8 and TIGGO 9. CHERY’s latest model, the TIGGO 4 CSH, is also available with bespoke full-hybrid technology as standard, completing the CHERY Super Hybrid range.
CHERY’s most popular model, the TIGGO 8, was also the UK’s best-selling 7-seater in June, outperforming competitor models from long-established brands.
These successes come as the UK new car market grew 11.4% year-on-year to 213,166 units in June, according to SMMT data, with CHERY UK’s result securing a 1.8% share of the new car market and taking its year-to-date total to 17,979 units.
Farrell Hsu at the SMMT International Automotive Summit
CHERY UK Managing Director Farrell Hsu joined senior figures from across the automotive industry, government and finance as a keynote speaker at the SMMT International Automotive Summit, held in London on 30 June. The Summit brought together policymakers, vehicle manufacturers and supply chain leaders to discuss the UK’s Industrial Strategy, the international competitive landscape, and the innovation shaping the sector’s future.
Farrell Hsu, Managing Director at CHERY UK, said: “The continued popularity of our family of TIGGO models shows us we’re building something that truly resonates with customers. We’ve entered the UK market with ambitious targets and a clearly thought out offering geared towards the needs and wants of UK buyers. We’re still only at the beginning of our journey, and we have many more exciting plans to roll out as the UK evolves into a key market that supports the impressive growth of the CHERY Group globally.”
CHERY’s global momentum continues
CHERY UK’s strong June performance mirrors the momentum across all markets for the CHERY Group, which recorded worldwide sales of 256,612 units in June – including 113,583 new energy vehicles – as CHERY’s global cumulative owner base passed 19.88 million.
In the first half of this year, the Group’s total vehicle exports reached 943,817 units, representing a year-on-year increase of 71.5%, setting a record for Chinese automakers by exceeding overseas deliveries in a single six-month period.
This incredible success will be further enhanced when CHERY’s newly-inaugurated Rosslyn plant in South Africa begins full production in mid-2027. Capable of producing 50,000 vehicles per shift, the factory will create nearly 3,000 new jobs and has the ambitious goal of a 40% localisation rate by 2028, helping to drive investment in the supply chain.
