Australia's new favourite Chinese bush basher is now $3000 cheaper for the 2023 models. These are really quite popular and offer good value. I like the look and the total package but we're spoilled for choice at the moment with cheap good value Chinese ICE and EVs flooding the market. Still holding out for what launches in the next few months but this one's worth a look of you're after an off-road capable SUV or even just a family SUV.

According to Car expert there's some dealer in Melbourne offering some extra bonuses but I haven't verified this hence not promoting the extra offer. Do your own research before buying. Mods banned me last time and took down my hugely popular Mercedes EQE post after the price couldn't be verified.

      If I could offer a counter point.

      My misses bought a H6 haval last year, the two minor issues we've had (entertainment system upgrade and tire pressure management sensor) were both fixed promptly and without issue by dealership. We've both been extremely happy with the vehicle. So happy in fact that I've gone out and purchased a second H6 for a work vehicle to replace an aging BWM X5.

      My accountant advised me to buy one prior to the 30th, I rang the dealership on the Friday and they had me in the new car by the Tuesday (5 days from first phone call)

      There is a lot of haval bashing that goes on here but I find it's vary rarely coming from people that actually own them.

      Keep in mind also that I have a wide variety of vehicles owned both personally and through my company so I'm not ignorant to the differences in brands/reliability etc. they're just actually a decent car for a cheap price.

      Of course you're mileage may vary but this has been my experience so far.

        Mate, I own/have owned plenty of vehicles. Including by not limited to prados, cruisers, hiluxes, BMW SUVs etc etc. I also currently own a couple of haval (great wall motors) h6s and they're a decent car for the money.

        I don't own a tank and I've only ever driven one on a single occasion but I wouldn't sleep on Chinese cars any more. They're making very serious improvements year on year, and offering their products at extremely competitive prices. They very likely are not as reliable yet at some of the Nissan it Toyota options, but they're getting close and they're priced tens of thousands of dollars cheaper for comparable models in most cases.

    • sogai on 23/06/2024 - 00:32

      What's the process to get a permit for driving in China? AFAIK they don't accept IDP..

      • greatlamp on 23/06/2024 - 08:46

      • salin on 23/06/2024 - 10:09

        You need a resident permit first, and then pass their driver's license computer test, very similar to our hazards perception test. It's purely about traffic rules, and it does have English as an option.
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmdp75mNyxE&t=137s

        The most straightforward approach is to hire a local travel agent who can provide both transportation and visa assistance. This agent will handle all visa-related matters and serve as your driver. Please note that this option will incur a significantly higher cost.

        I did drive past a few European motorbike groups on National Highway 318. no idea how they get a driver's license in China.

    I believe moving forward…….within the next 10 years……chinese made cars will dominate the car dealerships in Aus…as China takes over gradually.

    • dtpearson on 23/06/2024 - 08:15

      This. I don't see how the old world manufacturers will be able to compete with super cheap (and good now they have had decades of forcing western car companies to partner with Chinese firms) Chinese manufacturing. Japanese, American and German car companies have dug their own grave. I just don't see the average Aussie paying $100k for something that they can get for $40k with a different badge. Especially once the Chinese manufacturers start setting up local service/dealerships. I am concerned that these super cheap models will essentially become disposable items once they are a few years outside warranty periods.

      • CalmLemons on 23/06/2024 - 11:15

        Not so much because the Chinese are so much cheaper, but because everyone else did a price jack way over the price of inflation and then more.

        This is why quite a few companies can suddenly drop their prices by $20-30k.

        • jimwh on 23/06/2024 - 12:39

          Exactly. I get used to a 30k Toyota before 2019 but if you suddenly on the market for a new car you will find that Toyota is luxury band now.

          Look at price of Toyota and euro car prices now in China you will understand the competition from Chinese cars will eventually benefit the end customers.

          BTW, Toyota car used to same or more expensive in China but now about half or 2 third of price of Aussie market.

      A couple of years ago, I was dead against Chinese cars and would never buy one. Now, I think why not.

      If they can produce decent quality cars for a cheaper price, then that's great. I think I will wait to see what the BYD Shark brings pricewise, but it's almost certain my next new car will be from the Chinese market

      • AftaBargain on 23/06/2024 - 08:53

          But I agree, competition can only be a good thing.

          I'm weary these cars are dumped here cheap and then the badge get replaced once the rep is ruined. Rinse repeat.

          This isn't a new tactic in Australia.

        • OzBargainerr on 23/06/2024 - 13:16

          The quality isn't the same. I have tested couple different brands and EV cars in China, they are made with much higher quality comparing with my X5 and VW in Australia.

    • hippyhippy on 23/06/2024 - 13:33

      • jasonh on 24/06/2024 - 01:22

        Chinese ICE cars were barely worth the materials they were built in for decades. Clearly wasn't working, whatever they were doing. Honestly the story around EVs is murky too, and a lot more to do with heavy government subsidisation of the industry and R&D than industrial esponiage.

        What requires reflection is that almost every developed country has outsourced industrial capacities to China over the decades, and now the tides of scale that have developed there are seemingly impossible to overcome for manufacturing sectors in developed nations with high wages. Of course as consumers, we've benefited from standards of living increases due to cheap goods. But now that we're seemingly at a geopolitical crossroads, that trade off suddenly is getting more scrutiny.

        The reality is that motor vehicles are probably an area that will see intense price competition as China finally becomes competitive. Assuming current trajectory, it wouldn't surprise me if in a decade Chinese cars become as ingrained in the industry as they are in consumer electronics for example.

    Buyers should create two lists of things they want from their next car before making a purchase: needs and wants.

    As a buyer, reliability is a "need" for these 4x4s. Japanese brands and even Mahindra have proven reliable models. However, the Tank was released less than four years ago, so it's too early to comment on its reliability.

        I'm now shopping for a new car but Skoda is not in the shortlist simply because the Kodiaq is too expensive for what it offers which wasn't the case when I got the wagon.
