Top 20 Chinese Cars

This car is on the verge of class separation. Considering the body and dimensions, it can be attributed to sedans, but the installed engine, nevertheless, tells us that this is a small car. Under the hood of this car, a one and a half liter engine with a capacity of 105 horses is installed. This is already a transitional size, but still a small car. There are two types of equipment to choose from: with a manual gearbox and an automatic one. There are no more differences. Even the design and optionality in the luxury version, as the manufacturer calls it, is not.

Well, consider the advantages of this car. First of all - the price. As, however, and always with Chinese cars. She really pleases, although this is not the best offer on the market. Also pleased with the design, which does not completely copy the original and brings something new. We look at the car fresh and original, although not for everyone. But the disadvantages are the same: build quality, materials used, low level of corrosion protection. True, if we conduct comparative tests, then this model in its price category will outperform its competitors in all respects.

Looking for a budget car with an economical engine, but without looking like a capsule? Be sure to pay attention to this product of the Chinese auto industry. Looking at the appearance of this model, you can’t even say that we have a small car in front of us, but under the hood it has a 94 strong engine with a volume of only 1.4 liters.At the same time, the car itself is quite roomy, both in the cabin and in the trunk. Although, as users note, despite the rather large space inside, it is unlikely that three adults will be able to sit in the back seat. Not very comfortable. But the clearance is increased, although this is so important for a city car.

If we talk about the advantages, then here it is the price, it is with this aspect that the Chinese auto industry conquered the Russian market. But there are many more disadvantages. In particular, the build quality leaves much to be desired and the low corrosion resistance of the body. There are also purely utilitarian disadvantages, such as the lack of adjustment on the driver's seat. A strange thing, but for some reason the engineers decided not to put this simple option, or simply forgot. It is unlikely that its introduction would have greatly affected the cost of the car.

Chinese cars have been capturing the Russian market for a long time. Their main, and often the only advantage is the price. These are really the cheapest cars, if we are not talking about luxury versions, and this, as a rule, ends with the advantages. In addition, China is very fond of, let's call them, replicas, or simply copies. But there are cars like this. In it, Chinese engineers and designers decided to show individuality, and this is what came of it. To be frank, the design is very controversial, and if you value an attractive, high-status appearance in a car, then this model is clearly not for you.

This car was created for people who consider the car not a luxury, but a means of transportation.Yes, Cherry is able to transport you from point A to point B, albeit not very quickly, because we have a runabout. A 1.1-liter engine is installed on its board, accelerating this “baby” to a speed of about 130 kilometers per hour. Not much, but enough for the city. As for the assembly and the materials used, here the users, as usual, have complaints. However, the Russian market has long been accustomed to such creations of the Celestial Empire, and the price more than compensates for all the shortcomings.

The glory of the British Mini Cooper did not go unnoticed by Chinese manufacturers. A worthy copy of the legend was the budget runabout from China Lifan Smily. The car has a charismatic design that appeals to both men and women. The four-door body makes it easy for passengers to get into a small but nice cabin. Depending on the version, the color of the roof may differ from that of the body. Of course, it is difficult to compare the quality of the Chinese small car with the MiniCooper, but the price of the model is absolutely affordable. You can also save on maintenance, the car is simple and convenient, which allows you to repair the car yourself.

The assessment from the owners of Lifan Smily generally has a positive connotation. Everyone likes the car from the outside, but some users call the interior space miserable. In general, there are not many complaints about the quality. The owners are not satisfied with fogging of windows and high fuel consumption.

In the TOP of the best Chinese small cars, the budget model Chery Kimo occupies a special place. At first glance at the appearance of the car, we can conclude: this is a car for beautiful ladies. And this feeling is preserved even with the most masculine body colors. The subcompact car is equipped with a small volume (1.3 l), but nimble engine (83 hp). It works in combination with a manual transmission in the basic version, which can disappoint many women. Of particular note is the decent build quality, good maneuverability and stability on the road. Therefore, the machine is able to forgive small mistakes to the weaker sex.

In the reviews, most car owners speak flatteringly about the pleasant appearance of Chery Kimo, low fuel consumption. Pleasant words were awarded to the interior, clearance and equipment. Among the shortcomings, users note a stiff suspension, a soiled interior, a modest amount of luggage compartment.

If you think that China always saves on stuffing their cars, be sure to check out this model. Let's start with the appearance, which is almost completely copied from the Japanese Mazda. Well, let's leave it to the conscience of Chinese designers, who are not modest in this respect. But what do we have under the hood? It houses a compact 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 105 horsepower. Not much, especially for a sedan.And finally, the most important thing.

Inside this car is the best set of options, which is rarely found in cars of this class. It has everything you need for comfort, from elementary seat heating to rain and fog sensors. Also, TOP multimedia is installed on board, which will delight fans of listening to loud music in good quality. And most importantly, all this is in the basic configuration, and nothing needs to be bought in addition. This is the best option in terms of equipping with options, and the price with such a filling is more than budget.

It is no secret that the leaders in the world market, at least in terms of design, are the British. Their engineers and designers were able to create the best cars in terms of beauty and status, and Chinese brands are distinguished by their lack of modesty when copying. For example, this car is an almost complete copy of Rover 7. Let's clarify that we are talking about external similarities, and looking into the interior or under the hood, the similarities end.

Yes, this product of the Chinese auto industry is still very far from Rover, but it costs several times cheaper. In addition, this is a full-fledged crossover, at least this is how the manufacturer positions it. Yes, five doors are installed here, but the low clearance is a little embarrassing. But at the height of the build quality and safety. According to the test results, the car showed an excellent result, although some of the points were withdrawn due to the increased load that the driver experiences in a collision. The level of anti-corrosion protection is also at a height, which is already rare for cars from China.

It is believed that a budget car cannot be safe, and by buying such a car you risk your own life and health. But this Chinese manufacturer proves us otherwise. Let's make a reservation right away that we are not talking about the tests of the manufacturer itself, but about those that were carried out by the best experts from Russia, at their own training grounds and without pressure from the brand owner.

So, out of a hundred possible points, our hero scored 95 and this is a very big result, especially for budget cars in this segment. Five points out of a hundred possible testers deducted for excessive load on the driver's chest in a head-on collision, all other indicators are above the norm and this is impressive. Such a car can be safely put in the TOP, if not for its shortcomings, which are relevant for almost all Chinese-made products. The build quality leaves much to be desired. As well as the materials used. Of course, all this reduces the cost of the final product, but the Russian market primarily appreciates China precisely because it supplies budget cars.

Stylish and elegant sedan Lifan Solano II is not a car, but candy. Inside there is an economical 1.5 liter engine that consumes only 6.5 liters of gasoline in the combined cycle. It works in tandem with a mechanical transmission. The interior of the car is also well equipped. For the Russian market, a leather interior in the basic configuration is an unprecedented generosity. Only tall passengers (from 185 cm) will not be very comfortable in it, because the head will come into contact with the ceiling lining. Plastic also pleases with its quality.The level of security also looks good. The base has front airbags, ABS and EBD systems. External attractiveness of the car is given by LED headlights, DRL, direction indicators and a laconic body line without unnecessary bends.

Comfort in the cabin is provided by heated front seats, a high-quality acoustic stereo system with 4 speakers, and air ducts leading to the feet of the rear passengers. The headlights turn on automatically depending on the amount of light. The sedan is not economical, a 129-horsepower engine (1.8 liters) consumes 8.3 liters of AI-95 gasoline in the combined cycle.

The advantages of the Geely Emgrand 7 sedan are the owners of a solid appearance and an affordable price. The main disadvantage of the car, many motorists consider a weak paintwork of the body.

The DongFeng AX7 model appears as a courageous crossover. The car not only looks brutal, it is equipped with a powerful 2-liter engine with 140 hp. With. Given the high ground clearance, the crossover is able not only to "jump" along the curbs in the yards, but also successfully overcome the provincial dirt. The manufacturer paid special attention to the strength of the supporting body, took care of the safety of the driver and passengers. Front and side airbags are installed in the cabin, belts have pretensioners, Isofix mounts are prudently mounted to fix child seats. In appearance, sporting features are visible in the form of a powerful body kit, 18-inch alloy wheels and rectangular mufflers.

The DongFeng AX7 crossover causes a mixed reaction among domestic car owners. On the one hand, the car has good cross-country ability and a pleasant interior. On the other hand, the suspension is too soft, and the car sways when cornering.

True, the dimensions are the only similarity, but still. So, there is excellent ground clearance and this is already a great start. It is 195 millimeters. Excellent result. Under the hood is a 1.6-liter engine, and accordingly, this is where the similarity with SUVs ends.

But the main feature of this car is rear-wheel drive. What's so amazing about this, you ask? The fact is that this is the only car produced at the Russian plant with rear-wheel drive.It is difficult to say what motivated Chinese engineers in the development of this car, and, as experts say, the decision is rather controversial, especially if you decide to use the car for its intended purpose, that is, to conquer off-road. Yes, this is a typical crossover, which is more correctly called an SUV, and this must be understood when choosing this car for yourself.

Chinese cars began to fill the Russian market about 10 years ago, and before that period, few people even knew that the Celestial Empire had its own auto industry. As it turned out, there is, and even a classic one. Yes Yes exactly. Before us is a company that has been producing cars for the local market since the 60s of the last century. It was her cars that drove the first persons of the state, and later the concern began to produce serial models, including for export.

Under the hood of the car is a 1.6 liter engine from the French Peugeot. In Russia, the first batch of these machines was sold in less than six months, and again conquered the sales podium in 2016, exceeding the figures by almost three times. What is so interested in local motorists in this car? First of all, excellent value for money.Yes, the car is not the cheapest, but the build quality, as well as the materials used here, are an order of magnitude better than most analogues, even in this price category.

The Great Wall Hover H5 SUV was introduced to the Russian market earlier than in other countries. The bet was made on the availability of a real jeep and good workmanship. The Chinese became even more persistent in promoting the technique in Russia, which led to the assembly of the model in the Moscow region (2011). Today Hover H5 bears no resemblance to its donor Isuzu Axiom. The car has a recognizable appearance, a reputation as a reliable workhorse. You can choose an SUV with both gasoline and diesel engines. There are modifications with mechanics and automatic. The salon is well equipped, there is leather upholstery, frontal pillows, climate control, a multimedia system.

The owners characterize the Great Wall Hover H5 as a real frame SUV. It is affordable and not bad in quality. Users do not admire the cold interior in winter, the high threshold, and sound insulation.

On the city streets, the attention of onlookers will be attracted by the elegant and brutal design of the jeep. It will look appropriate in the parking lot near the business center. But the car will not be afraid of the Russian off-road.A frame structure, a powerful engine, a transfer case with reduction gears, a rear axle differential lock - these are the main arguments of a muscular Chinese. Reliability and durability of the SUV is provided by units from the world's best automakers.

The seats are adjustable in several positions, and multimedia will please even the most biased lover of loud music. Simply put, this is a great option for your money.
