Chinese car Brands. WOW!

[salty]

Got this of another forum. I know there are a lot of Chinese car Brands. But didn't realise there are this bloody many!

 

[Everest]

I wonder how many of those will be there in 2030?

And they missed Lotus, Polestar and Volvo, so that's 112 brands.

Exactly. Probably more. Although don't know how old that list is.

Who knows.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see SAIC?

Probably split up, into the sub brands.
Obviously MG being one of them.

Wuling and Baojun joint ventures are on there.

Couldn't see Maxus but maybe this isn't including vans and commercial brands.

Maxus appears to be top-right of Mainstream though a bit blurry.

If you listen to all the naysayers there is only 1 Chinese car manufacturer, The State, as they control everything apparently

Good spot, see it now.

It is quite a blurry image.

I actually saw a Maxus van this afternoon ... a Transit-sized van.

They are pretty common, I think. But vans are hard to differentiate. Our solar installer had an electric one and that was 2.5 years ago.

Maxus vans are geting popular up here, they are cheaper and longer ranged than traditional brands.

Looks good but doesn't do well apparently. When they practically giving them away some time back this guy got one ..... It's a good channel and he explains all.

James Cleevely did a video of it and Bjorn Nyland too. It seems to be a very basic commercial vehicle, no frills like acc or fancy menus. It has enough range and would probably be a fleet pick up for a builder or farmer, something that's going to have a hard life. James did have a look underneath it and the motor seems to be quite exposed, he wasn't sure if that was a problem or not.
