The same car, under its Chinese name and price.

Most of these cars sell at home under a different name - and often a very different price. Look up any model to see what it's called in China, its China RRP, and how it's positioned there.

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.
