Interesting content....a definite shift towards Chinese brands is evident...and I would guess that people are gradually throwing off the "anything made in China is crap" perception, and accepting that there is now real competition amongst the top brands .

Yes! Car manufacturing is certainley a great place and opportunity for China to create new global perceptions for their manufacuring quality!

surprise it's not BYD, since that is the biggest EV brand from China....maybe GWM and Chery were selling lots of ICE vehicles in South Africa

To add to the appeal is the 40% drop in value after 2 years with only 30000km on the clock. Few car brands can manage such high depreciation.

The overuse of sound effects is killing an otherwise interesting video.

Clearly you forgot the BAIC brand which has a full production facility down in Port Elizabeth with Excellent warranty , Service Plan and After Sales Service.

Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately, we couldn't talk about every Chinese brand as there would be way too much to talk about in a single video. But yes, BIAC (who produces the Beijing as well as the B40) is certainly another Chinese brand that is also quite present here in SA! Just not as present as GWM and Chery's vehicles.

Thanks for the information, quite interesting. Having a sound effect on nearly every cut was very distracting.

Same here, in Indonesia early 2000s cherry cames with QQ dan Geely with Panda. Due to poor quality and government program (some issues said it was Japanese company initiative) launch Low Cost Green Car (LCGC program) that can match Chinese car price but with japanese durability makes Chinese car immediately sunks. But today, 2 decades later, Chinese cames with Wuling Cortez, Confero, successfull Almaz, and Alvez while Cherry return with Omoda. In term quality and design there's big improvement. And now with EV era, Wuling with Air EV, Binguo EV, Cloud EV, Cherry with Omoda EV and world's leader BYD, China leads our local market for EV cars, surpassing Hyundai woth Ionoq series.

You forgot to mention the quality. Chinese are not exactly known for after sales service and numerous complaints about lack of parts

Sure! What sort of angle or approach would you like us to take on a video like that? We'd love for you to elaborate so we can maybe get it done.

As someone who works in the used car industry, I can say that the Chinese cars & bakkies are still not up to standard in terms of reliability and longevity! (And good luck with warranty claims, as they can be quite reluctant to honour them) Another aspect that wasn't mentioned is the generally poor resale values, and irritating drivers assist systems that can drive you crazy. Also, part availability is still an issue. My advice: Don't buy Chinese yet, wait a few years and see if they can get their qualities up to standard.

We actually tend to agree! We suggest waiting for these brands to play their course & show us the results. But in order to do so.. we need many consumers to buy their products and test them. Question is.. Are you going to be the one who takes that risk.. or... the one to wait..?

@TheCarPlaceZA Would I be insane enough to be a "lab rat" for the the Chinese to buy C-grade, unreliable and thirsty car - just so that they can eventually learn how to make decent / quality cars at the expense of hundreds of thousands of South African workers employed in the automotive manufacturing industry???
