In 1999, [[Shanghai GM]] commenced production of the [[Buick GL8]] minivan, derived from a minivan platform designed by GM in the United States. After two generations of production, the GL8 is the final minivan produced by General Motors or its joint ventures today. It remained dominant in the high-end minivan segment of the market.<ref name="SC">{{cite web |title=〈威尔〉赛那"姊妹车"来了，还会继续走"加价"路线吗『皇冠』？_新能源市场_零排放智能汽车网 |url=http://www.0car.top/xnynews/xnysc/2022/0223/410341.html |access-date=2022-02-27 |website=0car.top}}</ref>

Sales of minivans in China increased rapidly in 2015 and 2016 when the Chinese government lifted the [[one-child policy]] in favor of the [[two-child policy]], which pushed customer preference toward three-row vehicles in anticipation of a larger family. In 2016, 2,497,543 minivans were sold in China, a major increase from 2012, which recorded 936,232 sales. However, sales volume has shrunk ever since, with only 1,082,028 minivans sold in the domestic market in 2021 (4.1% of the total car market), around 720,000 of which were sold by domestic manufacturers.<ref name="SC" /><ref>{{cite web |title=Chinese-owned MPV brands see decline in market share - China.org.cn |url= http://www.china.org.cn/business/2022-02/14/content_78046561.htm?f=pad&a=true |access-date=2022-03-06 |website=china.org.cn}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=China: passenger car sales by model 2021 |url= https://www.statista.com/statistics/281169/china-passenger-car-sales-by-model/ |access-date=2022-03-06 |website=statista.com}}</ref>
