SAIC Motor Corporation Limited

SAIC Motor Corporation Limited is a Shanghai-headquartered listed automaker whose current corporate profile identifies complete vehicles, components, mobility services, finance, international operations and innovative technology as its main business areas. The company reports that 2025 wholesale sales reached 4.507 million vehicles and retail sales 4.67 million; its self-owned brands sold 2.928 million vehicles, new-energy-vehicle sales reached 1.643 million, and overseas sales totaled 1.071 million.

The group’s industrial lineage is documented by SAIC as beginning with a Shanghai internal-combustion-engine-parts manufacturer established in 1955; Shanghai workers built the first Phoenix-brand sedan in 1958. Reform-era opening reshaped the company: Shanghai Volkswagen was founded in 1985, and SAIC and General Motors signed the Shanghai GM and Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center joint-venture contracts in 1997. These milestones connect SAIC’s local manufacturing base with the foreign-partner and engineering relationships that later supported broader vehicle development. [2] [3]

SAIC says its network now includes 13 complete-vehicle manufacturing bases in China, nine overseas vehicle-manufacturing or knock-down-assembly bases, products and services reaching more than 170 countries and regions, and more than 3,800 global marketing and service outlets. The same profile names ROEWE, MG, IM, MAXUS, Wuling and Baojun among its self-owned brands. These figures are company-reported and describe a group moving from a Shanghai-centered joint-venture model toward a mixed portfolio of domestic brands, electrification and international operations.
