Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Limited is a Chinese automotive manufacturer specializing in the design, development, production and sale of passenger vehicles and related components. The company’s portfolio includes sedans, multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and minivans marketed under brands such as Brilliance, Jinbei and Senova. In addition to complete vehicle assembly, it operates an in-house parts division offering chassis modules, powertrain systems and stamping and welding services to both internal and external clients.
A key component of Brilliance China Automotive’s strategy is its 50/50 joint venture with BMW Group, BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd., which manufactures BMW-branded models for the mainland Chinese market. This partnership combines Brilliance’s local production capabilities with BMW’s global design, engineering and quality standards. The venture has driven significant capacity expansion in Shenyang and has been instrumental in introducing premium vehicles to Chinese consumers.
Originally established in the early 1990s as part of the state-backed Brilliance Auto Group, the company went public in Hong Kong in 2002. Over the years, it has grown its manufacturing footprint across Liaoning province and developed an extensive sales and service network covering major urban and regional markets throughout mainland China. In recent years, Brilliance China Automotive has also embarked on electric vehicle research and strategic partnerships to support its new energy vehicle ambitions.
Today, the company focuses on strengthening its domestic leadership while exploring selective exports to emerging overseas markets. Its management team comprises experienced automotive executives and engineers seconded from the parent group, operating under governance structures based in Hong Kong and guided by a board with deep industry expertise.
