Electrifying Success for BMW Group

In a world where critics often predict doom and gloom, the BMW Group is kicking back and sipping its victory martini. While Tesla might be nursing a hangover with a dip in global deliveries, the German automotive powerhouse is raking in electrified vehicle sales like nobody’s business.

BMW Group Goes Electric The Underdog Shines in Q2

Numbers That Spark Joy

In the second quarter, BMW Group showed a jaw-dropping 10.2% increase in overall electrified vehicle sales, hitting a whopping 161,462 units. And hold on to your hats, because the first half of the year doesn’t disappoint either, witnessing an 18.5% uptick with 318,949 units sold. Take that, rivals!

Name Second quarter 2025 Compared with previous year First half 2025 Compared with previous year
BMW Group Automotive 621,271 +0.4% 1,207,388 -0.5%
BMW 550,693 -2.6% 1,070,814 -2.3%

BMW Group EV 111,027 +2.9% 220,540 +15.7%
Rolls-Royce 1,415 +9.4% 2,796 -6.3%

Mini’s Mighty Impact

Now, let’s talk about the real MVPs here: the Minis. One in every three new Minis sold is an electric vehicle, contributing to an impressive 17.3% increase in the first half of the year. As for plug-in hybrids? BMW Group is waving the victory flag with a phenomenal 28.9% year-over-year increase, selling 98,339 PHEVs. Who knew green could be so profitable?

Of course, the brand isn’t without hiccups. While electric vehicle sales boast impressive numbers, they did see a slight decline of 3% compared to last year. Still, with the all-new Neue Klasse models hitting the road soon, including the ix3 crossover, things are looking as bright as a freshly waxed car. These new models promise lightning-fast charging and a range that would make any road trip a breeze!
