The rate at which Chinese cars are improving is unprecedented. Twenty-five years ago, China was knocking out models like the Lubao CA6410 – essentially the front end of an Austin Montego, mated with the rear end of an Austin Maestro, with a Toyota engine thrown in up top for good measure.

But today, via decades of economic growth, a few copycat creations and concentrating firmly on electric cars, Chinese models are up there with the best in the business.

They tend to be among the cheapest and most reliable cars on the market, while the latest EVs from China also top the charts of the most efficient electric cars too. 

And don’t think it’s all price-driven pragmatism either. They’re catching up with European, Japanese and Korean efforts in terms of interior quality and driving fun too.

Below you’ll find our favourite cars from Chinese companies that are either currently on sale or coming to UK roads soon.

The best Chinese cars

MG 4

The car that really changed things for MG. The 4 truly shuffled SAIC’s brand from builders of cheap-but-boring transportation devices with long warranties and tempting finance offers to a car manufacturer of note (again). 

The MG 4 is a car that doesn’t need a qualifier or explanation, it’s just brilliant on its own. Key to this experience is the way it drives. It flows well, with strong, reassuring brakes and a RWD platform that provides a bit of fun when poked. 

The interior is sensible and well laid out too. The heating controls are easier to use than in the Volkswagen ID 3, and the electric range pegs it as one of the most efficient electric cars on the market, even in our real-world testing.

It’s even available as a dual-motor all-wheel-drive hot hatch called the MG 4 XPower. Despite the added traction and power, it’s not quite as fun as the regular car. But there are very few other options out there that offer 429bhp for under £40,000.

Nio ET5

Nio will likely launch in the UK in 2025, as part of the firm’s plans to sell in 25 markets by the end of that year.

The company is most famous for its battery swapping technology, which allows cars to change out depleted batteries for fresh ones in under five minutes.

The ET5 is the first Nio explicitly created for Europe. It’s pitched at the premium compact exec market, so rivals include the BMW i4 and Tesla Model 3. Curiously, the ET5 will also be available as an estate - Nio claims it’s the only premium electric estate on the market.

The automotive market in the UAE has noticed a huge surge in Chinese car brands entering the country. In 2023, DubiCars added over 40 new car brands, most of which were from China. Read this detailed analysis on Chinese cars getting more traction in the country.

As a result, in 2024, we will continue to notice this trend as more Chinese brands set to enter the UAE this year. Because of the exceptional demand for SUVs in the country, most of these new brands will be bringing their best to the table. Here is a list of the upcoming top 10 best Chinese SUV launches this year.

Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max

Chery Automotive is one of the biggest Chinese car brands in the country. Despite having multiple sub-brands such as Exeed, Jetour, Jaecoo etc. Chery continues to expand its line-up under the Tiggo brand name.

Their flagship model, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max will soon get a facelift update. The changes include design changes, new added features and a few other cosmetic upgrades. However, it will continue to feature two turbo-petrol engine options: 1.6L & 2.0L. 

XPeng G9

XPeng’s UAE proceedings are expected to start with the G9 electric SUV. The G9 is a mid-size EV that features a claimed range of over 700km per charge. Providing the juice to the SUV is a 96kWh battery pack paired with either a single motor or a dual motor setup.

Apart from the impressive electric powertrain, the G9 comes loaded with features and top-notch luxury. Dual 14.96-inch screens do the duties of the infotainment. While the instrument cluster uses a 10.25-inch display.

GWM Tank 700  

The 700 is the brand’s flagship model in their Tank SUV series. GWM aims to take on the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Nissan Patrol with the Tank 700. This Chinese off-road SUV uses a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine. The top-spec variant gets a plug-in hybrid option too.

This enables the Tank 700 to deliver over 500hp and 750Nm, which is much more than the LC300 and the Patrol pushes out. The Chinese SUV is also well-equipped with a ton of features, certainly more than its Japanese rivals.

Kaiyi X3 Pro EV 

Kaiyi is one of the most highly awaited Chinese car brands entering the UAE this year. Along with a whole host of cars, the brand will also start its EV journey with the X3 Pro EV. Read this linked article to know more about Kaiyi.

The X3 Pro EV is a compact SUV that features a 54kWh battery pack paired with an electric motor generating 247hp and 280Nm torque. Kaiyi claims a range of over 350km per charge. The X3 Pro EV will be among the most affordable electric SUVs when launched in the UAE. 

Omoda C5 EV 

Omoda is part of the Chery Automotive group and was also one of the brands present at the GIMS Qatar 2023. At the motor show, the Chinese car brand showcased its upcoming electric SUV, the C5 EV.

From what we know so far, the Omoda C5 EV could come equipped with a 61kWh battery pack paired with a 165KW motor. It will feature a claimed range of 450km per charge. Read this linked article for more details of this upcoming Chinese SUV.
