According to the Spanish media Diari de Tarragona, almost half of Spaniards would consider buying a Chinese car as their next car, as Chinese new energy vehicles are surging in popularity. In Germany and the UK, the number of people who think this way also reaches 30% and 29% respectively. The report says that China's new energy vehicles are of high quality and affordable, and are already leading the world in the field of electric vehicles.

　　The 2023 Shanghai Motor Show is in full swing, with Chinese autonomous car brands dominating the show floor and claiming the C-suite, attracting many foreign car executives to stop and watch.

　　A figure released in April by Spain's ANFAC (Association of Automobile Manufacturers) shows that the value of Chinese cars sold in Spain in 2022 will be around €1.39 billion, €68 million higher than in 2021, which means that Chinese car brands are gradually gaining a foothold in the European market.

　　According to a study by Carwow, nearly half of Spaniards would consider a Chinese branded car as their next car, compared to 30% in Germany and 29% in the UK. As a result, Spain is considered one of the most receptive European countries to Chinese owned branded cars.

　　The report said that Chinese new energy vehicles are of high quality and affordable, and are already leading the world in the field of electric vehicles. "Perceptions of Chinese-made cars are changing rapidly, and while Chinese-made quality has been an issue in the past, it has completely changed, with Chinese cars featuring modern and elegant shapes, Chinese manufacturers hiring European designers to ensure that new models are attractive, and in addition, Chinese cars have the highest safety ratings in Europe, surpassing even many of the big established brands." says Eduardo Torres, General Manager of Carwow Spain.

　　However, there are still some people who have an opinion about cars made in China. For example, 47% of respondents questioned the build quality, 43% were concerned about after-sales service, 31% because they were unfamiliar with Chinese brands, and 17% and 9% because of political stances and aesthetic issues.

　　Carwow believes that Chinese brands have made outstanding innovations and progress, but that there is a difficult road ahead, as the established large car brands still dominate in Europe.
