List of Best Chinese Car Brands

An expanding influx of Chinese car manufacturers is capturing a significant share of the UK market, especially the compact SUVs and new electric vehicles (EV).

This section explores current Chinese car makes and models that have gained traction and are offering consumers a wide range of choices with lower prices.

What Chinese Cars are Available in the UK

It's fair to say the strides made by Chinese car brands in recent years have been dramatic and impressive. Only a few decades ago, Chinese cars in the United Kingdom was not the main topic of conversation in the auto industry.

Here's the thing:

From being relatively unknown to many, many of the major auto manufacturers from China are strong contenders in various segments.

So, why would UK motorists consider buying a vehicle from one of the Chinese manufacturers? In truth, most of the best makes and models offer a popular combination of affordability, enhanced performance, and superior technology.

As China continues to expand their global reach and achieves a growing market share in western Europe and the US, the affordability of Chinese car brands is also starting to appeal to British buyers.

Why?

One reason is the diversity in the range of established brands that have since become popular models, especially the electric vehicles (EVs), superminis, and family size SUVs.

Beyond that, the competitive pricing and advanced technologies coming from East Asia have overtaken previous skepticism.

In case you are wondering:

Even though the number of Chinese cars for sale in the UK is growing, ultimately your own personal priorities will determine whether they are worth buying.

As this new market evolves, the demand for accurate and up-to-date information becomes ever more important.

As a consequence of that, we compiled this comprehensive list of Chinese car brands. You can follow the links for further details and in depth car reviews.

Pro Tip: Despite the "attractive pricing" and "appealing features", there are several unique considerations to be aware of before you buy a Chinese car in the United Kingdom. The main factors are compliance to UK regulations and standards, will you be getting adequate warranty and after-sales support, and will the depreciation rate and resale value be a concern with some of the newer brands?
