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, with a person on the high-stakes facts.
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.
A person on the high-stakes facts
UK range, price, warranty, safety ratings, brand survival - a human verifies them against primary sources before any of it counts as a claim.
Named, dated, accountable
Kai signs off before anything goes live. Every page then shows its sources and the date it was last checked - so you can judge it yourself.
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. We don't run affiliate deals on the models we cover. 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.
