Chinese brands weigh on the European used car market
On November 2, 2026, the arrival of Chinese brands in Europe causes residual values to fall on the used car market, with a financial risk circulating from leasing to distributors, the network being the most exposed. On November 4, the German press considers that the European market is welcoming used electric cars imported from China favorably, a growing segment. The same day, Gilles Aubry, CEO of consultancy Nova MS, calls on distributors to rethink their recent used car offering in the face of new Chinese vehicles by strengthening their labels and warranties. On November 5, a program is devoted to the impact of low-cost Chinese brands on the European used car market and to the necessary revision of distributors' strategies.
