Top 9 best Chinese cars of 2019

In recent years, all Chinese products have become quite high quality. This applies not only to household appliances, but also to larger and more high-tech products - laptops, mobile phones, smartphones and even cars. In today's market you can find a fairly large assortment of machines made in China. We decided to devote our today's review to the best Chinese cars of 2019, but before moving on to describing the characteristics of specific brands and models, let's quickly go over the important points that you should pay attention to when buying a car.

What factors play a role in acquiring a car?

Vehicles manufactured in China are often bought for use as a real workhorse. There are many service centers and official dealers in large cities of our country, so everything will be in order in terms of service. When choosing, many novice drivers pay attention to appearance, not interested in what is in the engine compartment.

First of all, you should ask whether the transmission is automatic or manual. Each type of gearbox has both pros and cons. With an automatic transmission, you will not have to be regularly distracted by switching the lever, however, if you get into a difficult road situation, it will be problematic to manage it. A manual box allows you to keep the car under full control, but you will have to adapt to the control.

Pay attention to the drive of the machine - front, rear or full. All-wheel drive cars have better cross-country ability, but they consume significantly more gasoline. Another important point is the clearance or ground clearance. If you plan to drive on roads of not the highest quality or even on unpaved surfaces, then this parameter should be chosen as much as possible.

Of course, you need to look at the appearance and presentability of the car, as well as the style in which the interior is decorated - this will greatly affect the ride comfort. When developing our ranking of the best Chinese cars, we took into account all these factors, but relied heavily on the price-quality ratio of the vehicle and user reviews. For each model, we tried to collect as much information as possible regarding all important parameters. Now let's look at the specific characteristics of the machines included in the review.
