The head of the PEC: MALL marketplace, Sergei Burov, spoke about what you need to pay attention to when choosing a Chinese car in order to avoid problems during operation.
According to the expert, over the past five years, the quality of Chinese cars has improved significantly due to improved production technologies. In addition, prices for Chinese cars have stabilized. For example, the cost of an economy class crossover starts from 1.5 million rubles, and a comfort class crossover starts from 3 million rubles. Business class cars cost from 5 to 16 million rubles depending on the category, Izvestia writes.
When choosing a model, the expert recommends paying attention to the features of Chinese technology. In some popular models, the engine and transmission are not fully synchronized, and the transmission may be delayed. This can cause inconvenience when overtaking when you need to quickly pass another vehicle. Therefore, it is important to check the engine response to gearbox shifts and evaluate its comfort.
The expert also pointed out possible problems with the buttons on the control panels of Chinese cars. Drivers may need to tap the on-board computer screen several times to activate desired features. Especially at low temperatures, tablet displays installed in Chinese cars may become unstable. Also, before purchasing, you should check the build quality of the car, the absence of gaps between its body elements and the condition of the paintwork.
Another aspect to consider when choosing a Chinese car is the availability of spare parts and service. The expert advises to study the availability of a catalog of spare parts for the selected model and where they can be purchased. The more stores that have parts and accessories available, the more convenient and cost-effective it will be to service your vehicle. If a catalog of spare parts in Russia has not yet been created for the new model, then it is better to pay attention to other cars.
In conclusion, the expert noted that although it is possible to fully assess the quality of a car only after using it for several months, it is possible to study how often cars of this model are sold on the secondary market in order to determine the reliability of the equipment. Also, it is worth considering service based on the manufacturer’s warranty policy.
