FAQs

Is Dongfeng A Good Brand?

As an automotive company, it has greatly improved over the years and really delivers higher quality products than it used to.
The morals of buying a state-owned Chinese company vehicle, however, are questionable as human rights are not in practice in China.

What Is the Best Chinese Car Brand?

Geely, in my opinion, is the best Chinese car brand, but only because they bought Volvo and thus inherited all the years of research and development to build European quality cars.

What Is The Most Sold Car In China?

The Wuling Hongguang is the most sold vehicle in China, with over 4,500,000 sold since 2010.
