At the words "Chinese car", many car owners make a contemptuous mine. Like, it’s better to ride a bicycle or public transport than what is produced in the Middle Kingdom. Although cheap and not prestigious, the cabin smells non-aromatic, security is weak and generally ...

1. Lifan Smily
It costs from 364,900 rubles.
Gas consumption (combined cycle) - 6.1 l.
We can consider the design of this "big-eye", which won first place in the ranking of the most affordable Chinese cars, funny, or ugly. But one thing is certain: Smily is hard to miss on the road. For a reasonable price, the owner will receive a car with a power steering, two airbags, a head unit, fog lights and an immobilizer.
According to the reviews of the owners, the car starts up even at minus 35 degrees, it consumes little gas, it behaves confidently in rain and snowfall on the road. But the quality of the paintwork is “lame”. And the trunk is small.
Perhaps another 5 years we will look down on the products of the Chinese auto industry. But it is rapidly developing for the better. Chinese automakers are not shy about copying a successful design or technical details from foreign models and are correcting errors identified in previous versions of their cars. They follow the same path as the car manufacturers from South Korea: they do not seek to displace leaders, but they do not fill up the car market with cheap crafts.
