Best Chinese Car Brands in UAE

Explore the Best Chinese Car Brands in the UAE

As the most prominent car market in the world, China has its own car industry. However, for decades, local car brands were behind the car companies from Europe, America, or Japan in terms of design, technology, and quality. Recently, Chinese car companies started investing significantly and modernizing their fleet of models, which resulted in the attention of the global car community. Even though Chinese car brands have been present in the UAE market for several years, they have become relevant, and there are plenty of models to choose from, offering a wide variety of options to get potential buyers excited. Of course, the Chinese cars in UAE must achieve the same reputation as European or Japanese brands, but their effort is evident. The main selling point of Chinese brands in UAE is the low price and excellent features, making those cars appealing to budget-oriented buyers. So, let’s see which ones are the best and what Chinese brands in UAE are worth considering as your potential future car. 

 

 Geely: affordable prices with good quality cars

 

Geely is one of the most successful Chinese export brands and sells cars in the UAE. At the moment, it offers seven vehicles on the UAE market, six of which are SUV/Crossovers (Starray, Okavango, Geometry C, Coolray, Monjaro, and Tugella) and one sedan (Emgrand). The Geely cars are all designed to be practical and usable and offer a lot of space, especially the Okavango SUV with seven seats.

Compact GS3, EMKOO, and upscale GS8 models represent the SUV class, but GAC Motors also offers two minivans, the GN6 and GN8, which are convenient and a bit forgotten body style practical if you want to carry a lot of passengers.

Jetour: Luxury and Performance in the UAE SUV Market

 

This Chinese company was relatively unknown since it was established in 2018 by Chery (another famous Chinese car brand in UAE), but it gained much attention for its lineup of SUV models, including attractive and off-road dedicated Jetour T2. Emphasizing luxury, features, and quality, Jetur also sells four more models: Dashing, X70 Plus, X70 FL, and X90 Plus. This company also made the headlines by offering a unique 1 million-kilometre warranty on the engine (along with a standard 5-year/150,000 km warranty), which shows confidence in this Chinese brand. 

 

 

BYD: Chinese Electric Cars in the UAE Market

 

Amongst all Chinese cars in UAE, the BYD company is the most advanced and one of the first Asian car companies to fully adopt electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid models, the only cars in their lineup. So, if you are looking for an affordable yet dependable and modern EV in UAE, the BYD showroom will have all you need. The lineup starts with an all-wheel-drive electric sedan called BYD HAN and continues with an even faster BYD SEAL. The BYD ATTO 3 is a compact SUV EV, as is the SONG PLUS, which has more interior space. However, the BYD QIN PLUS could be the perfect choice if you are looking for a compact and affordable plug-in hybrid sedan. Interestingly, all BYD’s electric cars have an 8-year/150,000 km warranty on the battery and a 6-year/150,000 km warranty on the rest of the vehicle.

Chery: Unmatched Quality and Performance at Unbeatable Prices

 

Even though Chery sells many models around the globe, on the UAE market, it only offers three SUVs. Those cars are the Tiggo 7 Pro Max and the bigger Tiggo 8 in two distinctive versions – standard Pro Max and Pro Plug-In Hybrid. Chery is known as a sound deal regarding dependability, prices, and maintenance, along with the standard 5-year/150,000 km warranty. However, despite offering mid-size SUVs, Chery has limited its offerings to only two engines: 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter units. The Chery models are luxuriously appointed with all modern features, but they could be more powerful. 

 

 

 

DFSK: Reliable and Affordable Vehicles in UAE

 

The Chinese company DFSK and their Dong Feng brand might not be the latest in design and technology. However, they still play a big part in UAE’s automotive landscape, mainly because of their lineup of convenient, dependable, and compact delivery vehicles and trucks, which are basic transportation of all delivery services, handymen, repair shops, and so on. The CV line includes CV31, CV32 (single and double cab pickups) and CV35 (compact van). There is also a KO1H mini truck capable of carrying more oversized loads. DFSK might not be the most prominent Chinese brand in the UAE, but its products are essential for some buyers. 

 

Great Wall Motor: Robust Pickup Trucks

 

As most Chinese car brands in the UAE offer SUV models, it is refreshing to see a company dedicated only to pickups. The Great Wall Motor might have just four models on offer, but all of them are capable pickups designed to be great work tools as well as cool-looking lifestyle trucks. The offerings start with Wingle 5, a bare-bones, single-cab truck, and Wingle 7, a more capable and better-looking double-cab alternative. The POER is a step up a bigger truck, but the top-of-the-line model is the King Kong POER, which comes with a lot of optional extras, a capable 4×4 drive train, and an affordable price. All Great Wall Motor sold in UAE have a 5-year/150,000 km warranty.
