Experts analyzed how Chinese cars survive Russian winters

The massive supply of cars from the Middle Kingdom began to our country about five years ago. Now experts can analyze the quality of bodies of the model range from China. Many vehicles become rusty due to lack of anti-corrosion treatment. Others did not survive the past five-year period at all.

Employees of specialized centers reported that Chinese cars can rust through in just two years. This applies to models that are brought to our country without anti-corrosion treatment. In this situation, the service life of cars in Russian conditions averages from two to five years, after which strong pockets of corrosion and “blooming” appear on the bodies.

Cars from AC, LiXiang, Lifan, as well as Jetour and Dongfeng are most susceptible to rust. Things are a little better for models from the brands Tank, Great Wall, Haval, Geely, FAW, as well as Omoda, Changan, Exeed and Chery.

Experts said that this situation is associated with low quality metal, harsh Russian winters, and the use of aggressive deicing agents. First of all, experts advise carrying out anti-corrosion treatment of the bottom and engine compartment, since these places are most susceptible to the formation of rust spots.

In March last year, an expert told how to avoid corrosion on car bodies. Several factors will help delay flowering.
