Two five-seat Changan petrol SUVs with the same 1.5T engine but different gearboxes and size classes. The CS75 Plus is the family and long-distance car; the X5 Plus is the city car and the cheaper entry point.
Jetour’s Chinese and export names do not match. The T2 is the Traveller, the T1 is the Freedom, the Dashing is the Dasheng, and Shanhai is a plug-in hybrid line, not a model.
Two names buyers use every day do not exist in BYD’s catalogue. Here is what the Leopard 3 and Leopard 7 actually are, what they are called in export markets, and how to specify one correctly.
One is a compact with a long wheelbase and a range-extender option; the other is a mid-size EV with 605–710 km of range and no export programme. Here is how to choose.
The RAV4 荣放, Corolla 卡罗拉 and Corolla Cross 卡罗拉锐放 share their bodies with the export cars, but China’s engine line-ups are not the same. Here is which version matches which market.
Same body, same 2,820 mm wheelbase, two completely different cars underneath. The EV is the Ethiopian import; the DM-i is the Gulf and Central Asian one. Here is how the numbers split.
The Geely Xingyue L Plus is the long-wheelbase replacement for the car Gulf buyers know as the Monjaro: 4,955 mm long, 2,900 mm wheelbase, five seats, and a choice of a 213 kW 2.0T petrol or a non-plug-in 2.0T i-HEV hybrid. Chinese pre-sale opens on 12 November 2026, but Geely has not announced an export version or a Middle East launch date.
China exported 1,066,000 vehicles in October 2026, up 60.2% on last year, with 606,000 NEVs. Here are the CAAM figures and what they mean for car importers.
Two cars wear the Peugeot 408 badge in China: a China-only saloon and the 408X fastback that matches the European 408. The engine, gearbox and body are all different.
The X70 Plus name covers several engines, two lengths and two wheelbases. The certificate, not the brochure, tells you which car you are actually buying.
