Chinese automobiles are taking the UK market by storm, eclipsing their Japanese rivals in total deliveries for the first four months of 2026.
According to an analysis of Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders records, Chinese automakers accounted for 14.2% of all car registrations during this period, delivering nearly 87,500 vehicles.
Popular brands such as BYD, Chery, Jaecoo and Omoda have "captured the hearts, minds and wallets of British motorists" with their edge in technology, price and battery, analysts say.
