In Germany they talked about the weaknesses of Chinese cars

Chinese cars have almost caught up with European cars in quality, but they have weaknesses. These are the results of a study published by the German Motorists’ Organization (ADAC).

Experts spoke regarding the high level of safety of cars from China – most of the models reviewed received the highest ratings in the Euro NCAP crash test. ADAC also noted the quality of materials and workmanship of Chinese cars.

At the same time, experts have identified several problematic issues. Cars from China still have problems with cruise control and other driver assistance systems, which sometimes work unreliably. Another weakness was the multimedia touch screens, which are slow to respond to touch, while the menus in the multimedia system are often made in too small a font and with errors in translation from Chinese, ADAC said. Some models also experienced problems with the radio and air conditioning.

Earlier, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said that German automakers are considered the best in the world – both in the field of vehicles with a traditional internal combustion engine and among electric vehicles. He called on the German auto industry not to be afraid of competition from China. At the same time, the head of the department noted that it is worth paying close attention to possible dumping of Chinese products and finding out whether the PRC provides subsidies to its companies for selling cars at a price below production cost.
