Changan Auto’s dedication to research and product development makes it one of the most formidable automotive brands to set foot on the global stage, well-regarded in both China and abroad. A significant highlight that ticked the box is its in-car smart mobility technology and the introduction of electric vehicles (EV) into its portfolio, which provides advanced driving solutions to the Philippines while being positioned at an attainable price level.

ReplyDeleteGood alternative to the Tiggo 8 Pro and Okavango
Tiggo 8 pro 1.6L the best among its china peers. Luxurious inside and has better engine vs 1.5L of its chinese competitors.

ReplyDeleteDon't be fooled. It will be like geely all over again. No parts and service is bad. Chinese cars have long way to go here
ReplyDeleteIf you want to buy chinese Cars better stick to any SUV below 1.3M . Resale value is Very Bad .hard to sell yet bad after sales service. No option to buy replacement parts. Dealer the only way for maintenance checkup .
ReplyDeleteI believe the problem with China cars is they make their cars with small displacements which make their cars less reliable in the long run for it can cause more wear and tear.
