An intelligence source, not a dealer.
Cathay EV reads the Chinese car market first-hand and brings it back for British buyers: who really makes a car, whether the brand will last, and how the UK version differs from the one sold in China - honestly, with a source and a date on every claim.
準: accuracy over completeness
We'd rather publish one figure you can trust than ten you can't. Behind every page is a small editorial team and an AI-assisted research process. New pages pass automated checks; proposed corrections to published figures go to human review.
Source material most UK sites can't reach
AI-assisted research pulls Chinese owner reviews, China-market pricing, China-vs-UK spec differences and parent-company background.
Publication checks
AI assists research and drafting. New pages pass automated publication checks before going live.
Editorial responsibility
The byline names editorial responsibility. Proposed material changes to published figures are referred for a human decision.
Three questions, answered with sources
Who really makes it
The group behind the badge, not the marketing - because the parent group is who backs your warranty.
Whether it will last
Our brand survival read: scale, financial health, export commitment - honestly, with sources.
How the UK car differs
What changes between the China car and yours - range, spec, price - with UK and CN figures clearly labelled.
Not a dealer. Not a cheerleader.
We don't sell cars. Some pages carry clearly labelled affiliate links; they never change our ratings or data. Our job is to be the most reliable intelligence source for UK buyers considering a Chinese EV - which means saying when specs look optimistic, when resale data is thin, and when a brand is too new to rate.
Every claim ships with a confidence label: Official figure Estimate or No data. We show you our work.
