These five Chinese brands piqued the interest of Filipinos in 2024

Chinese brands are on the rise these few years, and in 2024, they’re nearly going toe-to-toe with the biggest manufacturers here in the country. This surge in popularity is largely due to Chinese vehicles offering excellent value, standout designs, and a wealth of features at competitive prices.

Based on the data we've collected from the AutoDeal site inquiries, we can see which Chinese brands caught the attention of Filipino consumers in 2024. Wondering which ones ranked in the top five for total inquiries? We've got the list right here.

Ranking number one in terms of total inquiries is MG. 2024 was a productive year for the brand, launching an impressive six cars throughout the year. These vehicles allowed MG Philippines to build a well-rounded lineup that caters to every type of driver while addressing various needs and budgets. The range includes the budget-friendly MG 3, the affordable G50 Plus MPV, and the more premium MG 4 XPOWER EV. If you're looking for variety in a single brand, MG won’t disappoint.

Next up is GAC. With a diverse lineup of crossovers, performance sedans, and MPVs, GAC offers uniquely styled vehicles at competitive prices. Known not only for their sleek designs, GAC has also built a reputation for reliability.

In 2022, the GAC Motor Racing Team made a powerful impression at the Petron Kalayaan Cup 12-Hour Endurance Race Challenge Series at Clark International Speedway, claiming five trophies.

GAC's current lineup is equally impressive. For instance, the GS3 Emzoom is a tech-packed compact crossover priced under P1.3 million. On the luxury end, the M8 Pro offers a more affordable alternative in the minivan segment, providing a solid option for those seeking luxury without exceeding the P4 million mark.

In third place, we have BYD. Though the brand only entered the Philippine market in 2023, it has had an impressive run in 2024. With its affordable EVs and highly efficient hybrids, BYD has quickly established itself as an excellent choice for buyers looking to embrace more sustainable motoring.

Some of the standout models in BYD’s lineup include the Atto 3 crossover, the Dolphin, the Sealion 6, and the recently launched BYD Seal 5 DM-i. In addition to these eco-friendly options, BYD also offers the sleek, performance-driven Seal EV four-door sedan. Thanks to its game-changing approach to EV affordability, it's no surprise that Filipinos are showing strong interest in this brand.

Geely remains a strong and compelling presence in the Philippine market in 2024, continuing to capture the interest of Filipino consumers. Currently, the brand offers five crossovers and a sedan, all featuring modern designs and a wealth of tech features at budget-friendly prices. 

Geely’s standout models include the sleek Coolray crossover, the spacious Azkarra SUV, and the versatile Okavango, a hybrid offering that combines efficiency with style. In addition to its attractive pricing and innovative features, Geely also stands out for its commitment to safety and comfort, making it a strong choice for a variety of buyers. With its focus on creating cars that appeal to modern drivers, it’s clear why Geely continues to rise in popularity across the country.

Changan claims fifth place, recognized for its bold and innovative styling that sets it apart from other Chinese brands. The brand’s lineup is primarily focused on crossovers, with models such as the compact and budget-friendly CS15, the CS3 and CS55 crossovers, the three-row X7 Plus, and the more premium UNI-K and UNI-T duo.

Like other Chinese brands on this list, Changan offers plenty of tech at an affordable price. What sets Changan apart, however, is its distinct design. The aggressive, sleek styling is evident in models like the CS55, UNI-K, and UNI-T, all of which exude a commanding road presence that ensures they stand out wherever they go.

If you’re looking for a truly unique car that won’t break the bank, Changan’s vehicles are worth considering.
