Chinese cars are more frequently seen on UAE roadways now than they were a few years ago. There are 6 factors that are influencing the success of Chinese automakers, outlined by experts from Glasgow Research & Consulting. Below are some excerpts from their research findings.
Competitive Pricing
One of the key ways that Chinese vehicles are distinct from other brands is through their competitive pricing and outstanding value. A wide range of customers has been drawn in by the affordability of Chinese cars, especially those looking for dependable mobility at a cheap price.
Chinese automakers have intentionally positioned themselves as a more affordable option to well-known names in the industry, luring buyers who are on a limited budget.
Diverse Product Portfolio
Chinese automakers have made significant investments to diversify and widen their product lines. These days, they have a large selection of cars, including sedans, SUVs, crossovers, and electric versions. Chinese automakers now have a wide range of alternatives available for both individual purchasers and fleet owners, allowing them to respond to various client preferences and market niches.
Improved Quality and Technology
Chinese automakers have made considerable advancements in the technology and build quality of their cars. To keep up with the standards set by global rivals, they have concentrated on improving reliability, safety features, and overall build quality.
