L2+ ADAS in New Energy Vehicles Hits 29.2% in First Four Months of 2026, Accelerating Adoption of Advanced Driver Assistance

From January to April 2026, L2-level driver-assistance systems accounted for 58.2% of new energy passenger vehicles, while L2+ systems made up 29.2%, bringing the combined share to 87.4%. Compared with the same period in 2025, the L2 share increased by 2.1 percentage points and the L2+ share rose by 7.5 percentage points. Across different price segments, the adoption rate of L2+ systems in new energy vehicles increased with higher vehicle prices: for models priced above RMB 400,000, the L2+ penetration rate rose from 45.2% in 2025 to 69%; in the RMB 320,000–400,000 range, it stood at 55.1%; and in the RMB 240,000–320,000 segment, it was 41.1%. Among mainstream household-oriented new energy vehicles priced between RMB 160,000 and RMB 240,000, L2 configurations accounted for 69.9% and L2+ for 22.1%. In entry-level models priced between RMB 80,000 and RMB 160,000, the L2 adoption rate reached 69.7%, a significant increase from 55.9% in 2025. In contrast, conventional fuel-powered vehicles saw growth primarily in basic L2 configurations across all price ranges, with limited adoption of L2+ systems. Notably, among fuel vehicles priced above RMB 400,000, the L2 penetration rate was 67.1%, still lower than the high-end intelligent driving adoption rate of similarly priced new energy vehicles.
