I am interested in purchasing a Chinese car from one of my friends who is a dealer but I want to hear the first hand experience from someone that owns one first. Please tell me about how the ownership and maintenance has been for you. Thanks

Let me grab my seat as close to getting one too

Which one are you interested in? Changan Uni-k has been looking nice to me

How much is that Gray and white one?

I own about 12 Daihatsu hijet (Kei van) which is commonly known as korope or shuttle bus produced in china (2007 model), barely 3 months of purchase, about 4 of them started smoking heavily I just instructed the drivers to start pouring condemned oil inside the engine since it shorts 1litre daily. Millions just waisted on this investment.


Mehn I don taya

Chinese cars are becoming more and more reliable with easily available spare parts. China may soon take over the global automobile market if they continue with their current pace.



China currently lead in affordable and reliable fully EV cars and even semi electric cars.

Waiting for that info too

Reliable oem parts will be a challenge

Do a proper research on the particular vehicle make and model you want to buy.

I’ll advise you go for the most popular Chinese brands. E.g BYD, GAC, Changan. If you have the money, buy Hongqi. That’s the best car brand in China. The president of China drives Hongqi.

Don’t go and buy just any Chinese car.

US, Europe, Japan and Korea combined can’t withstand the Chinese automotive power. In the next 5 years, China will drive them out of the market. I’m not happy about it but it’s the reality we face.

Nope. What set them apart is research.

Those European vehicle makers put a lot of money into research.

Na EV I want buy. I need for 10m

You are right, I haven't driven or owned any Chinese made car but I have gotten some for some peeps and they have never complained.

Very cool, mine is jetour gifted by my uncle.

For your dreams right?
Should bother yourself about Nigeria rather than other countries already making waves.

What’s the price range like. ? China is the feature because DeepSeek is wonderful and Chinese owns it.

Gray one is the Changan Qiyuan Q07 going for 41m
White one is the Changan Uni-k 2.0T going for 40.5m

Have you seen Chinese cars? Do you know the current number of Chinese vehicle brands? What about cost? And who told you China doesn't research? Dey play.

Have a Budget of at least 30million . Our Naira no too get value

From reports it seems most of them are better in resisting flooding/water than the American equivalents. Also it's better to go for full EV, in 5 years time, there'll be swappable batteries everywhere

What do you think about Jetour? The car is sleek.

Oh my bad! No wonder they are called JDM

This will be an interesting thread

I don't own a Chinese car but I like the aesthetics.
