Kineski automobili posljednjih godina sve snažnije pritišću europske proizvođače, no jedno je gledati njihove cijene, ubrzanja i popise opreme, a sasvim drugo rastaviti automobil i provjeriti što se zapravo krije ispod lima.

Čínští výrobci elektromobilů vstupovali do letošního roku s problémem, který se ještě nedávno zdál téměř neřešitelný. Na domácím trhu se hromadily neprodané vozy a poptávka slábla. Válka s Íránem a dražší ropa jim ale otevřely cestu ven. Stále větší část přebytečné produkce míří do zahraničí, kde vysoké ceny benzinu přesvědčují další a další zákazníky k nákupu elektromobilů.

Kineski automobili više nisu egzotična pojava na europskim cestama, ali jedno pitanje i dalje prati gotovo svaku raspravu o njima - kojem proizvođaču zapravo vjerovati?

Kad radnici autootpada kažu da im se dvorište 'puni' automobilima jedne marke, prva pomisao teško može biti pozitivna. Motori, mjenjači, elektronika, skupi kvarovi - nešto očito nije kako treba. No u slučaju jednog sve popularnijeg kineskog proizvođača priča je potpuno suprotna. Automobili im doista redovito stižu, ali ljudi koji ih svakodnevno rastavljaju tvrde da razlog gotovo nikada nije ono što biste očekivali.
