Chinese car brands are making a significant impact on the Australian car market, with one-in-six to one-in-seven cars sold in Australia originating from China. The country’s wealthy population and free trade agreement with China make it an attractive market for Chinese car brands. However, consumers and dealers need to consider the potential risks and benefits of the influx of Chinese brands.

Existing brands and distributors also face challenges, such as increasing margin compression and overstocking. The impact of Chinese brands on the Australian market remains to be seen.
