Published: 7/4/2025

According to the latest data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, one in 10 cars sold in the UK in June were made in China, with Chinese-owned brands like MG and Polestar contributing to the 10% share of UK sales. The surge in Chinese car sales, especially electric vehicles, is attributed to the absence of significant tariffs on imports in the UK. New Chinese brands like BYD, Jaecoo, and Omoda are rapidly growing in the UK market, highlighting a shift in consumer preferences towards Chinese-made vehicles.
