Chery strengthens ownership support as demand grows for affordable SUVs in Australia

Chery Family Care program expands globally following record local growth

SYDNEY, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chery Australia has recorded its strongest year to date, closing 2025 with a record 34,889 units sold, marking a 176% year-on-year increase and positioning the brand among the fastest growing in the market. The Tiggo 4 was a strong performer, finishing the year as one of the nation's best-selling small SUVs.

The result comes as more Australians consider affordable SUVs that balance upfront value with long-term ownership confidence, particularly as interest in hybrid and electric vehicles continues to rise.

Central to this growth is customer support. Following its success locally, Chery's ownership program, Chery Family Care, is now being adopted across multiple global markets, reinforcing the brand's focus on reliability, servicing and whole-of-life value.

The program includes a 7-year unlimited kilometer warranty, 7-year roadside assistance and 7-year capped price servicing, providing customers with predictable ownership costs and added peace of mind.

Lucas Harris, Chief Operating Officer, Chery Australia, said the brand's momentum reflects a broader shift in how Australians are approaching car ownership.

"As we move through 2026, we are seeing more Australians prioritise long-term ownership alongside affordability, particularly asmomentum behind hybrid and electric vehicles builds," said Harris.

"Our focus is on ensuring customers feel supported well beyond the point of purchase. Programs like Chery Family Care are designed to make ownership simpler and more predictable, which is increasingly important for buyers comparing the best affordable SUVs in Australia."

Globally, Chery has now welcomed more than five million customers, with the company noting that as it scales, trust will increasingly build through service and ownership experience, not just product specifications.

In Australia, that commitment is being supported by continued investment in aftersales infrastructure. Chery recently opened a regional warehouse in Melbourne, holding more than $28 million in inventory to improve parts availability and reduce downtime. Additional facilities are planned for Brisbane and Perth by the end of 2026.

This focus on servicing, parts access and support aligns with growing consumer demand for vehicles that offer strong value beyond the purchase price.

Chery Family Care also underpins the brand's broader dual-drive strategy, combining advanced technology with strengthened service capability. This includes the rollout of Chery Super Hybrid powertrains and next-generation electrified models across global markets.

Rather than focusing solely on new model launches, Chery' next phase of growth will be defined by consistency, ensuring customers receive the same standard of support across every stage of ownership.

For Australian buyers, this signals continued investment not just in delivering some of the best value SUVs in Australia, but in supporting drivers throughout the full ownership journey.

Chery will be showcasing their latest models and technology at the Beijing Auto Show 2026 which commences on April 24.

HOOFDDORP, Netherlands, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- EZVIZ, an advocate for greener smart homes, is proud to announce its participation in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development on this Earth Day. As a smart home pioneer joining the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative, EZVIZ will align its award-winning EZVIZ Green initiative with the UNGC's Ten Principles, making a transformative impact through responsible business in environmental protection.

The UN Global Compact is a call to companies to adopt ten universal principles in human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With over 25,000 participants across 167 countries, the UNGC is keeping the earth green and clean with its growing influence.

Though new to the initiative, EZVIZ has been implementing SDGs in its development, operations and management, including establishing an ESG committee directed by the Board. On April 10, the company published its 2025 ESG report under its commitment "Our Planet. Our Actions" for transparency and awareness. Over the past year, EZVIZ has received international recognition like the European Green Awards, the SEAL Sustainability Business Awards, and the Indigo Design Award with the "Design for Social Change" honor.

To safeguard a green planet, EZVIZ has addressed land degradation, global warming, plastic recycling, community empowerment and more. Partnering with Treedom, EZVIZ has planted 4,190 trees with local farmers, reducing approximately 738.2 tons of CO2. Together with Plastic Bank, EZVIZ has prevented over 1,000,000 plastic bottles from polluting vulnerable environments. The partnerships are reinforced by internally recycling plastics and minimizing waste. In 2025, EZVIZ incorporated over 30 tons of recycled materials into its RE7 Edge robot vacuum's design and reduced CO2 emissions by 73.1 tons through greener packaging.

"Becoming part of the UNGC is a significant milestone for us. It means our efforts in building a better planet, have been recognized globally," said Jingwen Cao, EZVIZ Board Secretary and Director of the ESG Committee. "This participation provides us the confidence to further expand our environmental protection, as well as to set stricter boundaries to avoid sacrificing the environment for commercial gain."

With green in its brand gene, the company has also developed green technology with a low carbon footprint. The AOV low-energy consumption tech, and the ColorFULL low-light night vision mode help reduce energy consumption and light pollution resulted from 24/7 home security. Firstly embedding self-patented wild animal detection in outdoor cameras, EZVIZ continues to implement responsible AI to balance human safety and wildlife protection, according to Sophie Zhang, EZVIZ Global Brand Director.

"We believe in the power of technology and always strive to benefit not only our users, but also everyone and every life," said Zhang. "Alongside other industry leaders in the UNGC, EZVIZ is motivated to contribute to a better future for generations to come."
