China prices are recommended retail in RMB from public listings (e.g. autohome.com.cn) and move with frequent local discounting - treat them as a guide, not a live quote. UK prices are “from” OTR. Figures pending editorial verification.
Why the prices differ
A UK price carries shipping, import duty, right-hand-drive engineering, type approval and a different warranty - so it rarely tracks the China figure. We show both so you can see the gap, not so you can convert one into the other.
