In top spot in none other than the Proton eMas 7. Last month, Proton sold 937 units of the eMas 7, which not only was the best figure of the year, but also the best-selling Chinese EV for the whole of 2025, with 8,677 units sold.

Behind the BYD Sealion is the BYD Atto 3. As old as the Atto 3 may be, BYD still managed to sell 4,069 units of this C-segment EV SUV last year, with 500 units sold last month.
Despite being a relatively new entry, the BYD Atto 2 made it to this list as well. Last year, a total of 1,779 units of the Atto 2 found new homes. In December alone, 443 units were sold. Not bad for a model that was launched in July.
In fifth place is the BYD M6. Last year, 1,683 units of this EV MPV was sold, which is higher than some premium EVs that were launched in 2025. In December, 187 units found new homes.
Sitting in sixth spot is the Zeekr 7X. Like a couple of these models, the Zeekr 7X is a newcomer, but that has not stopped 1,510 units from being sold. In December, 679 units of this EV SUV was sold.
The next BYD on this list is the BYD Seal 6. Like the Atto 2, the Seal 6 is a new model that went on sale in September, but has managed to shift 1,279 units in 2025. Last month, a total of 455 units were sold.
The last BYD on our list is the BYD Seal. This EV sedan sold 1,056 units throughout 2025, solidifying its spot on our top-10 list.
