Chinese cars burst into our lives all of a sudden. A couple of years ago, almost no one heard about them, a year later we laughed at the curved panels and uneven slots of the first samples, today they have noticeably added in quality and are almost ahead of everyone in terms of sales dynamics.
The best-mastered by the Chinese is the niche of all-wheel drive pickups. Three models are already presented on the Russian market: Tianye-Admiral, Great Wall-Deer G3 and the newcomer Tianma-Fenlin. The most popular modifications with a five-seater cab and four-wheel drive transmission are considered as an alternative to significantly more expensive all-terrain vehicles with the usual five-door body. And if so, the only real competitor for them could be … the domestic UAZ-Patriot.
