Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Don’t listen to the haters. If it’s got a warranty, it’s got a warranty. Haval, GAC and Changan should be fairly worry free
  • Honestly Changan and MG are the only ones keeping up to date with the models and releases.
  • GAC, Changan, Geely these brands are reliable and packed with features.
  • Changan was once producing Mazda in China, I’d consider it in the same level with GAC.
  • Apparently, few people want to buy a used MG or Changan because the new ones are inexpensive so those also sell for quite cheap in the used car marketplaces.

Cons

  • I would not buy Changan specifically, I had seen a lot of safety related complaints about them in my home country.
  • 5-6 years? This isn't a Changan, bro.
  • There are issues with Changan’s maintenance as engine parts take over a month to arrive from China

Changan is another quality Chinese brand linked with Ford.

Parent context: Brand new with 5 years or 150k km warranty but no service contract. She has done 5k km so far so I cant tell about reliability. we didnt face any issues yet. It runs good, lively car because of the turbo starts kicking in low rpm. I really like the cabin design, I think one of the best amongst competitors. Quality wise it is what you would expect from a compact suv. Not worse than japanese … Reply: Brand new with 5 years or 150k km warranty but no service contract.

I really like the cabin design, I think one of the best amongst competitors. Quality wise it is what you would expect from a compact suv. Not worse than japanese competition if not better. Suspension is ok. Similar to Japanese but not like germans of course. I think it is quite fair considering the price tag. Any german compact Suv today will be at least double the price of changan.
