Just 10 years ago, when a number of Chinese brands entered the South African market and then hastily retreated, it seemed that the established brands were safe from Chinese competition.

Fast forward ten years and the situation has changed dramatically. Haval is a top 5 brand in SA and Chery leapt into the top 10 within 1 year of trading.

The two SUVs featured here represent the flagship variants of their respective brands (the Haval H6 hybrid notwithstanding) and yet both are available at a price point below R700 000 (as of October 2023) which in today's market represents excellent value, especially with the level of tech and comfort features fitted as standard equipment.

We hope you enjoy and find this review useful and we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
