Korea vs China – difficulties of auto-selection

Once upon a time, Korean cars were considered a “budget” version of Japanese ones. But today a new player has confidently entered the market - China. And, accordingly, the question arises: which car to choose - Chinese or Korean, if technically they are approximately the same. The Club Service channel is trying to solve a difficult dilemma.


We will talk about middle-class cars costing from five to eight million rubles. European cars of the same type are completely in the price range, which starts from 10-12 million rubles. And the first subject of consideration is the Korean Kia crossover. “Ideologically,” the products are the same in both cases: manufacturers try to stuff cars with electronics and options to the maximum. The appearance of the middle class among both the Chinese and Koreans also has a certain similarity.

What about the differences? Of course, they exist, and the first thing I would like to note is the price. Cars from the Middle Kingdom of the same class are on average 20% cheaper. You could even say that when purchasing a Korean crossover, you are overpaying for the brand. But not everything is so simple! It makes sense to take a closer look at Kia to understand whether the car is worth paying that kind of money for. And if so, then for what? There are other differences between Korean cars and Chinese cars, which you can learn about by watching this video to the end.
