Quite a handful of Chinese brands but its interesting to see that in Germany people are not warming to them and Ferrari and Lambo is outselling Geely, GWM and some other low priced cars. Xpeng and BYD are by far the best selling Ching chong brands.
Maextro S800 continues China’s ultra-luxury sedan dominance as BMW drops to #5
Huawei-backed Maextro S800 recorded 1,142 April sales in China’s over-700,000-yuan sedan market.

Between the 3 German luxury car brands from Jan to Apr 26 in the top 50, its quite close with BMW in the lead (excluding Mini) of 17052 units, then Audi with 16431 units and then Mercedes with 12626 units. The GLC EQ and GLB EQ needs to gain traction and also the BMW iX3, so upcoming months these models could increase in sales.
They are definitely just warming up.

I really looking forward to the later part of this year and next year, as BMW and Mercedes will have an arsenal of new models that could possibly double their EV sales. Quite exciting times for upcoming EV buyers.

The Maextro S800’s position at the top of the market is even stronger across the January-April period. An impressive 5,465 units were sold across the first four months of the year, well above the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class at 3,012, the BMW 7-Series and i7 at 2,976, and the regular Mercedes S-Class at 2,596.
Prices run from 708,000 yuan ($104,000 at current exchange rates) to 1,018,000 yuan ($149,500), and both all-electric and range-extender versions of the S800 are available.
The EV variant uses a 97 kWh battery pack and dual electric motors producing a combined 523 hp, giving it a range of up to 416 miles (669 km). Two range-extender configurations are also offered, both with 65 kWh batteries. One produces 523 hp from dual motors, while the other delivers 852 hp from three electric motors.

Something I've had to get off my chest about the Taycan for a while...
The Taycan being considered a competitor to these luxury vehicles is a joke. They are perhaps mostly comparable in terms of price point and little else.
It's a great vehicle in terms of steering, ride, handling, and dynamics. It's a Porsche after all. But it's thoroughly outclassed in many aspects relevant to this class.
Good to see the S and 7 managing to maintain some market presence, but they will need to work their asses off to stay there, as it appears the Chinese are placing less value in the 'prestige' that foreign brands once had.
I have an unsettling sense that Porsche has serious brand image and product issues in China, compounded by the fact the volume range is now almost entirely EV, and not even class-leading in many aspects of UI, luxury features, and EV drivetrain benchmarks.

As an EV it's outmatched by newer Chinese EV tech I'm assuming. Whereas on the ICE side they are still competitive.
