Why Chinese cars are TAKING OVER the UK

Chinese car brands aren’t ‘coming’ to the UK– they’re currently right here, and they’re transforming the marketplace at spectacular speed.

In this explainer video, we break down what’s really happening behind the surge of brands like BYD, Omoda and Jaecoo, and why their increase is unlike anything the UK auto industry has seen before.

Using main sales data, Autotrader insight and meetings with leading figures from the electric motor trade, we disclose:

— How Chinese brand names already make up more than 10% of the UK new-car market
— Why some brand-new participants hit 2% market share in months, not years
— Which established brand names are most at threat
— Why the UK is the perfect launch pad for China’s international car ambitions
— The hidden risks around reliability, resale worths and brand name survival
— And how ‘China Speed’ is reshaping the entire industry

This is a structural shift for the UK automobile sector– and for several of the most significant names in the vehicle organization, it’s becoming existential.
