Huawei HIMA May 2026 sales reached 46,122 vehicles, the highest monthly figure for the alliance so far this year. The result represents a 40.79% jump from April’s 32,759 deliveries and a 3.77% year-on-year increase over the 44,448 units recorded in May 2025. With this performance, the Huawei-backed Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance has now posted two consecutive months of sequential growth, fully shaking off the post-Lunar New Year slowdown that weighed on the wider Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) market in the first quarter.
From January to May, the alliance accumulated approximately 192,000 deliveries, up 26.5% year on year. Cumulative deliveries across all five HIMA brands since the program’s launch in 2023 have now passed 1.39 million units, a milestone announced together with the May figures.
Huawei HIMA May 2026 Sales: Headline Numbers at a Glance
The official communication from HIMA on 1 June covered the following key data points:
- May 2026 deliveries: 46,122 units (+40.79% MoM, +3.77% YoY)
- April 2026 deliveries (baseline): 32,759 units
- Cumulative deliveries Jan–May 2026: ~192,000 units, +26.5% YoY
- All-time cumulative deliveries: over 1.39 million units
- Group-wide average transaction price: around RMB 390,000 (USD 53,793), the highest among Chinese auto brands
- AITO brand average transaction price: around RMB 409,000 (USD 56,414)
The May result also marks the second consecutive month of double-digit sequential growth for the alliance, after a 23.17% rebound in April. Both surges have been credited to a string of new-model launches rather than discounting, a point HIMA has been keen to emphasise as competitors lean harder on price wars.
Five Brands Behind the Huawei HIMA May 2026 Sales Mix
The Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance now spans five passenger-car brands, each built around a different Chinese OEM partner:
- AITO (问界) — co-developed with Seres Group, the largest contributor to HIMA volume.
- Luxeed (智界) — built with Chery, focused on sedans and the new V9 MPV.
- Stelato (享界) — created with BAIC, targeting the executive sedan segment.
- Maextro (尊界) — engineered with JAC, anchoring the alliance’s ultra-luxury push.
- Shangjie (尚界) — the newest brand, jointly run with SAIC, opening up the entry-premium segment.
AITO remains by far the largest contributor to the Huawei HIMA May 2026 sales number. According to data shared by Chinese outlets, AITO delivered 34,320 units in May, up 48.2% month on month and accounting for roughly 74% of the alliance’s total volume. The four newer brands together delivered the remaining ~11,800 units, with Shangjie Z7 only beginning customer deliveries in the final two days of the month.
AITO M9, M7 and M6 Anchor the Volume
Within AITO, the flagship M9 SUV continues to set the pace. The all-new generation AITO M9 was launched on 27 May with a starting price of RMB 479,800 (USD 66,180), and Huawei said it collected more than 20,000 firm orders within 24 hours. The line-up now runs:
- AITO M9 Max+: from RMB 479,800 (USD 66,180)
- AITO M9 Ultra: from RMB 539,800 (USD 74,455)
- AITO M9 Ultimate Long-Wheelbase: from RMB 649,800 (USD 89,628)
Cumulative AITO M9 deliveries have now topped 285,000 units, and the model has spent 21 consecutive months as the best-selling SUV above RMB 500,000 in China. The mid-size AITO M7 has crossed 450,000 lifetime deliveries, the AITO M8 has reached 180,000, and the entry AITO M5 stands at 155,000. The AITO M6, launched on 22 April, surpassed 20,000 deliveries in its first month on the market — a key support pillar for the Huawei HIMA May 2026 sales rebound.
Luxeed V9 and Shangjie Z7: New Order Books Open
The Luxeed V9 multi-purpose vehicle, jointly developed by Huawei and Chery, launched on 15 May with a starting price of RMB 389,800 (USD 53,766). Within 48 hours of launch the model gathered more than 10,500 firm orders, an unusually strong showing for a near-RMB 500,000 NEV MPV. Cumulative deliveries of the Luxeed R7 and Luxeed S7 sedans, meanwhile, have already exceeded 160,000 units.
The Shangjie Z7 series, the SAIC-built brand’s debut model, opened customer deliveries on 30 May. In just two days, more than 2,000 units were handed over. The Shangjie line will be a key swing factor for Huawei HIMA June 2026 sales, with the lower-priced Shangjie H5 (from RMB 159,800 / USD 22,041) expanding the alliance’s reach into the mainstream premium segment.
At the higher end, Stelato deliveries surpassed 60,000 cumulative units as of 21 May, and the brand has now spent seven straight months as the top-selling NEV sedan above RMB 300,000. The Maextro S800 ultra-luxury sedan, priced from RMB 708,000 to RMB 1,018,000 (USD 97,655–140,414), has reached 18,500 cumulative deliveries in its first 12 months — a record pace for a domestic Chinese model above RMB 1 million. A Maextro S800 Grand Design “Diancang” edition is set to open pre-orders in June at an indicative RMB 2,000,000 (USD 275,862).
Average Transaction Price: Above Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi
The most striking statistic behind the Huawei HIMA May 2026 sales report is not volume but value. HIMA confirmed that the group-wide average transaction price held around RMB 390,000 (USD 53,793) in May, the highest of any Chinese auto brand for several consecutive months and, by HIMA’s own count, briefly higher than the three German premium incumbents. The AITO sub-brand alone clocked an average transaction price near RMB 409,000 (USD 56,414).
For global readers, this is the single most important context: unlike many Chinese NEV brands that scaled through aggressive price cuts, the HIMA portfolio is climbing the price ladder — anchored by the AITO M9, Maextro S800 and now the Luxeed V9.
What the Huawei HIMA May 2026 Sales Data Mean
For investors, the May 2026 deliveries reinforce three trends already visible in April:
- The HIMA business has now firmly broken out of the early-year slump that affected most NEV brands in China.
- New-model cadence — AITO M6 in April, AITO M9 facelift, Luxeed V9 and Shangjie Z7 in May — is doing the heavy lifting, not promotional pricing.
- Huawei’s role as the technology backbone of five separate OEM partners is starting to translate into a coherent premium-brand stack, not just a sum of badge-engineered SUVs.
The 1.39-million cumulative milestone and the ~192,000 January–May running total leave HIMA well placed to challenge its 2025 annual record of around 450,000 deliveries, particularly with the Maextro S800 Grand Design and additional Shangjie variants still to come in the second half.
