Anyways, the only people that are buying Chinese cars in Middle East or developed countries are the ones who have limited buying power and want to own a car but cannot afford to buy a Japanese or Korean car. Another set of people buying Chinese cars are the ones who want tech-oriented cars and would trade them once their newer technical versions arrive, in other words, they view a vehicle as a dispensable item that they could show off rather than item that should be kept until end of life.
Personaly best chinese brand that come in Pakistan. It isn’t worth to buy Changan, DFSK and Haval.
