In recent years, the interest of Russians in Chinese cars has grown markedly, especially after the departure of Western brands. However, owners and potential buyers have many concerns regarding cars from the Middle Kingdom.
The analysis of two million references to these machines in social networks and the media for the period from 2022 to 2024 showed that the general attitude has become neutral, and the negative is gradually giving way to more balanced estimates.

The third urgent problem is the adaptation of cars to the harsh Russian climate, especially in the northern regions and Siberia.

They also indicate difficulties with pricing and the lack of a clear marketing strategy for brands, while noting strict maintenance quality control. The problem with spare parts is confirmed by statistics: every fourth of 149 dealers interviewed complained about waiting time, which now on average exceeding one month.
