Adjustment time is over
Models from several Chinese car brands have been for sale in the Netherlands for a number of years now. Has your opinion of Chinese cars changed in the past few years?
Landwind failed to win the hearts of European consumers with the It would take years before the starting gun sounded for a new invasion of Chinese manufacturers wanting to enter the European market. This year marks five years since the Chinese MG of SAIC Motor launched the ZS EV in the Netherlands. The plug-in hybrid EHS followed not much later and MG’s delivery range now consists of at least six models.
MG would certainly not be the only Chinese brand in the Netherlands for long. You can now buy cars from Hongqi, BYD, Aiways, Seres, Xpeng, Nio, Zeekr and Lynk & Co. Then there are also Chinese manufacturers who are eager to come to Europe or have already presented European plans. From Ora to Wey and from Omoda to HiPhi, Avatr and Neta. There are various reasons to be in favor or not of the presence of Chinese cars on the Dutch car market.
Several Chinese brands have been active in the Netherlands for at least a few years now. Perhaps you have had the opportunity to drive a Chinese car in recent years and have been so impressed that your opinion about Chinese cars has been changed in a positive way. The opposite is also possible: perhaps your experience with a Chinese car was so bad that you actually started to think less about Chinese cars, or perhaps there were geopolitical developments that changed your opinion.
