Chinese brands impacting the European used car market
The arrival of Chinese brands in Europe is weighing on residual values and shaking up the used car market, with financial risks circulating from leasing companies to dealers, who are the most exposed. This phenomenon applies to the entire European market, where imported used Chinese electric vehicles are meeting a favorable reception, and units resold after just six months are generating strong interest. In France, dealers are being urged to revise their recent VO (vehicle ownership) offers and strengthen labels and warranties against low-priced new Chinese cars. In Germany, the press highlights the dynamism of the segment of used Chinese electric vehicles, while in the UK, the impact on the used car market is placed among the topics of the week.
