Geely Expands to Mexico After Strong Sales in China

Geely Auto Group, a Chinese automotive manufacturer, presented its brands and technology in Beijing and Hangzhou, China, signaling its entry into the Mexican market. The company, founded in 1998, sold 709,358 units in the first quarter of 2026, leading Chinese automakers in sales volume. At Auto China 2026, Geely showcased four brands—Geely, Zeekr, Lynk & Co, and Galaxy—each targeting different customer segments.

The company debuted the second-generation Galaxy Light concept, featuring a design inspired by Chinese culture, and a new dedicated electric and hybrid off-road platform. Geely also unveiled the EVA Cab, a robotaxi designed from the ground up and utilizing quantum encryption.

During test drives in Hangzhou, journalists experienced the Emgrand EM-i, a plug-in hybrid sedan slated for Mexico this year, and the Galaxy M9 SUV, expected in late 2027. Geely reports a 25.5% reduction in vehicle lifecycle carbon emissions since 2020, though challenges remain in scaling autonomous vehicle technology for widespread commercial use. The company intends to continue expanding its presence in Latin America, with Mexico as a key focus.
