A look at all the ways in which BYD, Geely, Nio, and other Chinese car companies are getting ready to upset the automotive world order.
China is the country with the largest new-car market and the highest automobile production. You'd think we'd know Chinese automotive brands as well as we know Detroit's, but since the models aren't exported to the U.S. , readers may find their names unfamiliar. Of the nine largest Chinese multibrand automakers, together fielding almost 50 nameplates, only four have mapped out a global strategy so far.
Sold online under the brand name HiPhi are the full-size X SUV and the Z sedan. The latter boasts a claimed 3.8-second sprint to 62 mph and an extra-large battery pack good for an estimated 330-mile range. Customers seem impressed by head-turning features such as power-operated rear suicide doors and gullwing roof panels, customizable lighting orchestrations, a TV-size screen for the front passenger, and a center monitor that can change position from upright to landscape.
