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.
Gather
AI-assisted research pulls Chinese owner reviews, China-market pricing, China-vs-UK spec differences and parent-company background — the source material most UK car sites can't reach.
Check
A person verifies the high-stakes facts — UK range, price, warranty, safety ratings, brand survival — against primary sources before any of it counts as a claim.
Sign off
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
The group behind the badge, not the marketing — because the parent group is who backs your warranty.
Our brand survival read: scale, financial health, export commitment — honestly, with sources.
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: Verified, UK needs check, or Needs check. We show you our work.
