Dead Dummy in Chinese Car.​

CHINESE cars were tipped to dominate the budget-car class and challenge established brands in half the time it took Japanese and South Korean companies - but the bubble has burst before it's properly inflated.

After some early success since becoming the first Chinese brand to go on sale in Australia, Great Wall Motors has hit reverse and its Chinese peers are struggling to get into first gear.

Official figures for the first five months of the year show Great Wall Motors deliveries are down by 35 per cent compared with the same period the previous year - in a record market that is up by 4.5 per cent.

Other Chinese brands such as Foton have also had a stalled start. After announcing big plans two years ago Foton has sold fewer than 300 pick-ups in that time.

Budget brand Geely has still restricted its sales to Western Australia and Chery's small cars have been stymied by newer competition from established brands. Chery sales are also down by 35 per cent.

The Chery J1 hatchback was the cheapest car in Australia in almost two decades when it went on sale with a $9990 drive-away price in 2011, and is now available with a "pay half now, half later" deal. But it too has failed to rock the sales charts.

"Sales have slowed for now but they will recover," says Daniel Cotterill, the spokesman for Ateco, distributor of Great Wall Motors and Chery passenger cars and the Foton truck range.

"It's been frustrating for us and the dealers to not have more new models available to us as quickly as we would like."

Other hurdles: more than 20,000 Great Wall Motors and Chery vehicles were recalled in August 2012 for having asbestos components in their engines.

Chinese cars tend to earn poor to scores in crash tests (between two and four stars when the modern industry norm is five stars).

But the companies hope to have a reversal of fortunes with a number of new generation Chinese vehicles made to international standards due in local showrooms in the next two years.

"There are new models in the pipeline," said Cotterill.

"We are confident in the ability of the Chinese to respond the Australian car market and boost sales."

Wrong, the topic as per your article is about Chinese cars below par against Korean and Japanese cars

"Car industry insiders say, Chinese car makers could learn from their Japanese and South Korean counterparts, as they improved the quality of their cars significantly in just a decade, and were successful in gaining a huge market share in the Western market."

BS.

This is the topic of the discussion.

BS.

India Cars are better engineered and have better quality build than the Chinese ones.


So the standard of comparison of par the lowest would be a Korean car, from a developed nation standpoint anything below a Korean car is considered below par. And that includes Indian cars which you trying to lord up.

Indian Auto Companies are ahead on the Curve than Chinese Auto Companies.

You do not need to take him seriously, it's in their nature to brag. I've known Indians for far too long. It simply reflects on their inferiority complex.

Hi Rott,

Was going to reply on this but didn't get the time, I can't say I agree with that because I also worked with Indians for a long time and the ones I worked with generally have been great and warm chaps. Okay some might brag more than others but small stuff and who doesn't like to brag I suppose.

Of course there is another who loves tooting their horn with no substance and usually for these we would tell them to get off our account. So maybe that's why I don't see this group quite often :D

Speaking of Great I saw this article the other day and was thinking would the CEO of Great Wall lead the company to become like what Hyundai is today?

Indeed.

However, I find it interesting is that when I drove the Mahindra Pik Up (essentially a Mahindra Bolero) I found that it is on the same level of build and ride quality as the latest gen X240. Mahindra has a great opportunity to improve their offerings in Australia by aggressively promoting the Scorpio and the XUV500 etc here, but they choose not too.

I actually provided an analysis of this for my marketing unit as part of my degree. Might upload it here if anybody is interested.

Please upload. I am a analyst in Kolkata based firm, trying to nodge a chance in HSBC.
