Reviewing the development of Geely in 2022, Geely actually launched many new cars during the year, especially in the second half of the year.

But the launch of many new cars and brand logo rejuvenation failed to help Geely achieve its annual sales target. Data show that Geely sold a total of 1.433 million vehicles in 2022, an increase of 8 per cent over the same period last year and only 86.7 per cent of its annual sales target of 1.65 million vehicles.

This is the second year in a row that Geely has failed to meet its sales target, but this does not prevent Geely from continuing to challenge its high sales target. Geely said in its latest announcement that Geely's annual sales target for 2023 would remain at 1.65 million, 220000 more than the 1.43 million delivered in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 15.4 per cent.
