Changan and Mercedes-Benz don’t seem to have anything in common, with the former catering to the mass market and the latter being a luxury brand. But according to distributor Inchcape Philippines, both are doing well in the sales of electrified vehicles.

The rankings come from the 2026 Q1 data of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI), which has separate categories for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).

Changan

• 5th in BEV segment with 168% year-on-year growth
• 5th in PHEV segment with 970% year-on-year growth

Interestingly, Changan ranks fifth among BEV sales despite having only one full-electric model, the Lumin. Meanwhile, its PHEV lineup is more diverse with the Hunter K50 pickup, the Nevo Q05, and the Nevo A05.

Mercedes-Benz

• 10th in BEV segment
• 7th in PHEV segment with 215% year-on-year growth

The Silver Arrows have gone a long way from the Benz Patent-Motorwagen to producing luxury EVs. The EQ lineup consists of six BEVs. Meanwhile, there are three PHEVs with the GLE400e, the E350e, and the GLC350e.

“This performance reflects the growing interest in electrified mobility in the Philippines and the importance of offering customers meaningful choice,” said Inchcape managing director for South Asia and Pacific Alex Hammett. “Through Changan and Mercedes-Benz, we aim to support different mobility needs, from more accessible electrified options to premium electric vehicles, while continuing to work with our partners to help build confidence in the transition to new-energy vehicles.”
