[Market Landscape] In February, only two new energy vehicles made it into the top ten sedan sales chart, with internal combustion engine (ICE) cars firmly dominating the market.

Key Developments: Geely Galaxy E5 Takes the Crown, Sylphy Drops Out of Top Ten

The Geely Galaxy E5 topped the chart with 27,362 units sold, becoming the only model to surpass the 20,000-unit mark. The former "family sedan king," the Nissan Sylphy, sold just 8,998 units, slipping to 13th place.

Key Data: EV Share Plummets, German Brands Hold Strong

Among the top 20 models, only five were electric vehicles, with the Tesla Model 3 ranking fifth at 12,920 units sold. German ICE sedans like the Lavida (16,000 units) and Passat (14,000 units) remained solid performers.

Strategic Context: Seasonal Slump and Policy Rollback Pause EV Momentum

Impacted by the Lunar New Year seasonal slowdown and the phasing out of government subsidies, popular EVs such as the BYD Dolphin and Seagull saw their sales drop to around 6,000 units, allowing ICE vehicles to reclaim dominance in the mainstream market.
