Chinese Carmakers Hit Gold In Africa

There is no doubt that Chinese carmakers have hit the big market in Africa. From Cape Town to Cairo and from Johannesburg to Lagos, Chinese carmakers are playing big in the local markets through their national representatives. They seem to be enjoying the ”boom’, from all indications, ‘ even in the face of gloomy economic conditions in some of the African countries.

Some of the Chinese automakers currently making waves and doing good business across Africa include Chery Automobile, Changan Automobile, GAC Motor, JAC Motor and BYD as they play in both the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) as well as fully electric and hybrid markets.
Offering mouth-watering and almost unbeatable prices for their various exotic and eco-friendly models, they also offer between six and seven-year warranty or 200 kilometres, whichever comes first, on their vehicles thus giving the hitherto popular Japanese, American, European and even the relatively cheaper Korean vehicle brands a run for their money.
