Chinese cars are here to stay. Some are going to fill the gaps with cheap models on the market and others seek to compete even with the European premium brands. The offer and variety is increasing, but, for us, these are the 10 best Chinese cars sold in Spain today.
Invicta Electric D2S
In constant struggle with the Dacia Spring for being the cheapest electric car on the market, it is logical that the Invicta Electric D2S is not a prodigy in terms of performance or autonomy, but it more than complies as an urbanite: a 49-CV motor and two batteries at choose, 17 or 27 kWh, which give it a range of 150 and 250 kilometers, respectively.
MG ZS
It has slipped into the best-selling cars of April in Spain, something that does not seem coincidental, since it is a compact SUV with a fairly contained price and that is offered both with gasoline engines (106 and 111 CV) and with electric drives. (156 and 177 hp).
Airways U6
The second model of the brand in Spain distances itself from other Chinese models due to its SUV coupé format and its sporty design, with a particularly aggressive front. It is an electric car equipped with a 218 hp motor, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7 seconds and mounts a 63 kWh battery that gives it a range of 405 kilometers.
Lynk & Co 01
The Lynk & Co 01 made its way into the Spanish market with a subscription formula, but over time it has also become traditionally available. It has striking design details and is available with a 197 CV hybrid mechanics or with a 260 CV plug-in hybrid and 68 kilometers of electric autonomy.
WM EX5
The WM Motor model is not exactly new (it was launched in 2019) but it has just arrived in our country. It is a medium SUV of 4.58 meters that has a clear family focus (up to 1,500 liters of trunk capacity). It is 100% electric, develops 218 hp, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds, mounts a 52 kWh battery and has a range of 403 kilometers.
Maxus Euniq
A real rarity on the market, because it is a model with a minivan body, seven seats and electric nature, a practically non-existent combo. Its engine delivers 177 CV and 310 Nm, has a 52.5 kWh capacity battery and its approved autonomy
Xpeng G3
Many Chinese manufacturers have chosen to attack the European markets with compact SUVs, many of them also opting for zero-emission mechanics. The G3 meets both requirements, adds a sharp design on the front, a huge panoramic glass roof, 195 HP of power, a 55.9 kWh battery and up to 520 kilometers of autonomy.
DFSK 500
The 500 has in its adjusted price (less than 20,000 euros with discounts applied) one of its main strengths, but it also gains points thanks to the fact that its 106 CV gasoline engine also has a LPG variant and, therefore, a label ECHO of the DGT.
chery omoda 5
It is the model with which the Chinese brand has landed in Spain, an SUV 4.40 meters long, with a striking front and a drop in the roof that seeks to give it a certain coupé air. It is available with a 197 CV four-cylinder 1.6 gasoline engine or with a 204 CV electric motor, a 64 kWh capacity battery and a 450-kilometre range.
BYD
We will have to wait until autumn for the official launch of the first three BYD models (Han, Tang and Atto 3), but it is one of the most promising Chinese brands, with a range that wants to cover all the important segments of the market, electrical mechanics , powers of up to 516 CV and autonomy of more than 400 kilometres.
