In China, the best and worst available crossovers of domestic production were determined. The reliability rating of cheap models from the budget segment is compiled by the China Quality Network, which is under the umbrella of the State Market Administration. The article was published on the website of this organization.
The rating includes 19 budget crossovers at a price of up to 100,000 yuan (€12,300) or, in other words, under BGN 25,000 in its base version. There are no such cheap crossovers in our country and it is unlikely that there will be any soon, but Chinese production is increasingly entering Europe and sooner or later these cars will start to be offered in Bulgaria as well.
Experts analyze the number of automotive defects and malfunctions of cheap crossovers, as well as registered customer complaints. Cars are given penalty points for malfunctions. Accordingly, the most reliable crossovers from China have the least points. This year the leader of the rating has not changed.
The most reliable Chinese crossover of the budget class is the GAC Trumpchi GS3, which collected 140 points and won for the second time in a row. Second place goes to Changan CS35 Plus (141 points), and third to Geely Icon (143). Geely Coolray (161 points) and Kaiyi X3 Pro (163) close the top five.
Zotye T300 (232 points), Livan X3 Pro and BAW BJ212 (209 each) were determined as the worst and most unreliable. JAC JS4 (198 points), Chery Tiggo 2 Pro (187) and Tiggo 4 Pro (188). Interestingly, Chery's production is also available in Europe, but these cheap Chinese cars are not recommended for purchase.
