The brand's sales growth in March confirms the steady strengthening of CHERY's position in our country.

Demand for Kia vehicles remains strong, and competition is intensifying - HAVAL surpassed CHERY in sales volume in March. At the same time, interest in CHERY's hybrid models, the Arrizo 8 Hybrid and Tiggo 8 Hybrid, is growing. They are gradually emerging from their niche segment and are increasingly influencing the market structure.
