2026 年嘅歐洲汽車市場,正經歷住一場微妙嘅力量更迭。
歐洲汽車製造商協會(ACEA)嘅數據顯示,今年 5 月,比亞迪、上汽 MG、吉利、奇瑞、零跑五家中國車廠,喺歐洲 31 國嘅新車註冊量合計達到 13.84 萬輛,較去年同期增長 64.59%,呢個成績令中系車首次喺歐洲超越咗日系車。喺純電呢個細分賽道,中國品牌喺歐洲嘅純電次數嘅份額已逼近 15%。
摩根大通嘅研究報告認為,中國車廠喺西歐市場嘅份額到 2028 年可能達到 20%;歐洲電氣化加速同中國車廠產品定義嘅代差優勢,係呢種結構性增長嘅核心支撐。
銷量增長嘅同時,中國汽車嘅海外售價亦好似證明咗呢波歐洲攻略嘅強勢:國內起售價唔到 12 萬人民幣嘅比亞迪海豚,喺英國賣到咗 27 萬元;國內 36 萬元嘅騰勢 Z9GT,喺歐洲嘅定價折算人民幣超過 90 萬元;比亞迪海豹、小鵬 G6,價格都普遍比國內高出 50% 甚至一倍。

價格翻咗兩倍,銷量卻喺暴漲。喺呢種繁榮景象之下,唔少觀點樂觀地認為,中國電動車已經成功撕開咗歐洲市場嘅口子。
但實際上,中國車廠真係喺歐洲站穩腳根咗嗎?

「相對性價比」撐起嘅銷量繁榮
中國電動車喺歐洲嘅「貴」,很大程度上係一種貨幣幻覺。
以喺德國市場銷售嘅比亞迪 ATTO 3(國內為元 PLUS)為例,其終端售價約為 3.8 萬歐元。呢其中,包括咗歐盟 10% 嘅基礎關稅、針對中國電動車最高 35.3% 嘅反補貼稅,以及德國 19% 嘅增值稅。再加埋 WVTA 歐盟整車型式認證、Euro NCAP 碰撞測試合規、物流運輸以及本地營銷費用,一輛中國電動車漂洋過海抵達歐洲後,成本結構已經發生劇變。

榮鼎諮詢分析認為,即便加埋歐盟 10% 基礎關稅及最高 35.3% 嘅反補貼稅,中國車廠喺歐洲嘅單車利潤仍顯著高於國內,呢種「歐盟溢價」構成咗短期內嘅盈利緩衝帶。
但如果將參照系從「國內售價」轉換到「歐洲本土市場」,中國車喺歐洲並冇脫離極致性價比嘅老路線。
大眾 ID.4 喺德國市場嘅起售價約為 4.5 萬歐元,比同級嘅比亞迪 ATTO 3 貴咗近 7000 歐元;而喺配置上,ID.4 嘅基礎版往往唔配備全景天窗、座椅加熱,呢啲都需要消費者額外支付數千歐元嘅選裝包。
相對之下,中國車通常採取「滿配」策略。Dataforce 嘅數據顯示,中國品牌純電喺歐洲銷量同比翻倍,市佔率首破 15%,核心驅動力正係呢種「同價高配」嘅相對性價比。
而喺代表品牌高度嘅高端市場,情況則截然不同。

騰勢 Z9GT、蔚來 ET7 等產品,雖然喺媒體上聲量巨大,定價亦直逼 BBA(奔馳、寶馬、奧迪)嘅同級車型,但實際銷量依然處於爬坡期。2026 年上半年,蔚來喺歐洲嘅銷量僅為數百輛,極氪、小鵬嘅銷量亦唔過數千輛。
高端產品銷量嘅懸殊背後,係知名度嘅鴻溝。大部分歐洲用戶對於中國汽車仍然處於完全陌生嘅狀態喺品牌認知度幾近於零嘅情況下,就冇咗談品牌溢價同所謂「高級」嘅基礎。市場調研機構 Civey 嘅數據顯示,比亞迪喺德國提及後認知度達 64%,MG 為 26%,但大多數新入歐嘅中國品牌(零跑、領克、深藍、Jaecoo 等)認知度仍在 1%–11% 之間,多數唔足 10%。
要知道,喺歐洲成熟市場,「高級」係百年口碑 + 賽車歷史 + 明星車主 + 雜誌長測 + 二手保值共同淬鍊嘅集體潛意識。奔馳、寶馬甚至 DS 嘅「高級」唔係 2020 年先有嘅,係近百年的發展同幾代人使用嘅積累。
騰勢 Z9GT 產品力極強,但它出現喺歐洲街頭時,路人唔會好似看到 Panamera 咁自動產生「呢架車真貴」嘅認知。

所以銷量數據繁榮並未改變一個事實:中國車廠喺歐洲嘅攻勢,底色依然係性價比。過去數年中,中國汽車喺供應鏈效率同技術上建立嘅相對優勢,恰好擊中咗歐洲本土車廠電氣化轉型緩慢嘅空窗期,但呢尚且難言係中國汽車喺歐洲戰略上嘅立足。
喺品牌認知度正喺爬坡、殘值體系仍待建立嘅而家,守住性價比嘅基本盤,敬畏當地市場嘅成熟規則,比急住宣告「征服歐洲」更加重要——畢竟,銷量可以靠定價撬動,但品牌只能靠時間熬出嚟。

警惕「內捲」外溢
對於正喺大舉出海嘅中國車廠而言,真正嘅考驗唔係喺邊能夠用高價製造「高端」嘅幻象,而係喺能夠克制住用「內捲」邏輯換取短期份額嘅衝動。
「我哋需要警惕內捲嘅苗頭,絕對唔能夠將價格戰帶嚟歐洲。」一家中國車廠德國銷售負責人話。
「賠本賺吆喝」嘅策略,短期內或許換得嚟靚靚嘅報表數據,但長期嚟睇無異於飲鴆止渴。

歐洲係一個成熟同理性嘅市場,消費者、經銷商同行業協會對「惡性競爭」有極高嘅敏感度。一旦中國車廠被視為破壞市場秩序嘅「攪局者」,跟住嚟嘅將係更加嚴苛嘅貿易壁壘同輿論回擊。
歐盟《工業加速器法案》已試圖將公共補貼同「歐盟製造」本地化含量掛鉤,正正係對市場無序衝擊嘅防禦性反應。
零跑汽車高級副總裁徐軍認為,國內盛行嘅價格戰若照搬去海外,可能導致海外利潤率低於國內,並使中國品牌被貼上「低價低質」標籤,任何一家企業喺海外出現問題,都可能影響整個中國品牌嘅聲譽,形成「一榮俱榮、一損俱損」嘅局面。
回望歷史,韓系車喺歐洲嘅崛起之路,對中國車廠有極強嘅參考價值。
現代起亞喺上世紀 80 年代剛進入歐洲時,處境比而家嘅中國車廠更加艱難,被稱為「輪子上嘅冰箱」。為咗打開市場,現代起亞採取咗極其漫長嘅「蓄水」策略。喺長達 15 到 20 年嘅時間裏,韓系車喺歐洲基本處於唔賺錢嘅狀態。

佢哋投入近 20 億歐喺捷克同斯洛伐克建立生產基地,喺德國法蘭克福設立研發中心,僱用大量歐洲本土工程師,只求造出一款符合歐洲人胃口嘅車。面對消費者對質素嘅質疑,現代起亞推出咗史無前例嘅「5 年/10 年超長質保」,用企業嘅信譽為產品背書,而唔係靠冇底線嘅減價。
其後,佢哋請嚟奧迪嘅設計師彼得·希瑞爾,確立家族化設計語言;喺紐博格林北環設立測試中心,聘请寶馬嘅工程師調校底盤,一步一步摘走「廉價」嘅帽子。現代起亞嘅歐洲研發分支,亦為歐洲用戶開發咗專屬嘅現代 Kona、起亞 Ceed 等產品。
時至今日,韓系車已經係歐洲市場不可小看嘅一股力量。2025 年,韓系純電車歐洲市佔率达到 8%,僅次於大眾、Stellantis 同寶馬集團,EV6、IONIQ 5 甚至奪得咗「歐洲年度車」大獎。
喺一個成熟嘅汽車市場,品牌向上冇捷徑,只得「慢功夫」。韓系車而家嘅數據,係對品質、研發同服務數十年如一日嘅堅持換嚟嘅。而家中國電動車喺歐洲嘅熱銷,無疑係產業換道超車取得嘅階段性勝利。但係銷量高增唔等於品牌立足,價格優勢唔等於品牌溢價。
「我哋寧願走得慢啲、笨啲,都係要守住紅線。例如,我哋喺泰國註冊子公司深化本地管理,預計可能虧 8 年,但都要將體系紮紮實實建嚟,而唔係靠低價換一時嘅規模。」徐軍話。

警惕內捲外溢,堅持長期主義,呢唔應該只係一句口號。佢意味著要尊重當地嘅市場規則同文化習俗,意味著要沉咗心去建設本地化嘅研發、生產同售後服務網絡,意味著要敢於犧牲短期嘅銷量利益去維護品牌嘅健康度。
究竟,韓系車用咗 45 年先走到而家,中國車廠喺歐洲嘅馬拉松,或許先跑完第一個五公里。

喺馬來西亞嘅 SUV 市場,好多買家喺揀車嗰陣都會拎 Perodua Aruz 同 Kia Sportage 嚟做比較。呢兩款車喺價位同定位上都幾接近,今日我哋就從多個方面做個詳細對比,幫你省咗做功課嘅時間。
Perodua Aruz 喺馬來西亞嘅 OTR 售價係 RM 72,900 - 77,900,一共 有 2 個版本,包括 1.5L X(RM 72,900)、1.5L AV(RM 77,900) 等。
Kia Sportage 喺馬來西亞嘅 OTR 售價係 RM 129,639 - 179,320,一共 有 4 個版本,包括 2025 1.6T DCT 4WD High(RM 179,320)、2025 1.6T DCT 2WD High(RM 159,320)、2025 2.0L AT 2WD High(RM 139,639) 等。
由價錢睇落,Perodua Aruz 嘅起步價確實比 Kia Sportage 平咗 RM 56,739。如果你預算有限,Perodua 嘅入門版已經可以滿足日常需求。但都係要注意,平嗰幾千蚊,可能喺配備上會有取捨,具體要睇你嘅需求。

Perodua Aruz 車身長 4400 mm,後備箱 400 L。
Kia Sportage 車身長 4400 mm,後備箱 400 L。
兩款車嘅尺寸幾近一樣,車內空間差別唔大。呢個級別嘅車,日常使用完全夠用。

Perodua Aruz 採用 FWD 驅動方式。
Kia Sportage 採用 FWD 驅動方式。
兩款車嘅驅動方式一樣,都係 FWD,日常駕駛感受唔會有太大區別。

Perodua Aruz 同 Kia Sportage 都係馬來西亞市場嘅主流選擇,適合家庭使用、日常通勤。如果你更睇重品牌口碑同二手價,可以優先考慮口碑更好嗰一款;如果你更在意性價比同配備,那就揀配置更豐富嗰款。最終都係建議兩款都去試駕,親身體驗先至最重要。

總括嚟講,Perodua Aruz 同 Kia Sportage 都係馬來西亞市場幾唔錯嘅車型。揀邊一輛,關鍵係要睇你嘅個人需求同預算。建議大家做好功課,多比較幾間車行嘅報價,再去試駕做最終決定。買車係件大事,花少少時間做功課絕對唔會錯。


去年,中國汽車出口量超越日本,登頂全球第一;今年上半年,出口量再增 65.3%,全年有望突破千萬輛大關。呢個數據好有衝擊力,但光鮮背後,一個尷尬嘅現實正在浮現:車係越賣越多,但面對嘅規則之牆亦越來越高。
歐盟對中國產純電動汽車加徵最高 35.3% 嘅反補貼稅,綜合稅率突破 45%;巴西自 7 月 1 日起將進口電動車關稅統一上調至 35%;泰國實施「產能對賭」機制,要求每進口 1 輛車須喺本地生產 2 輛;南非亦喺考慮將中印整車進口關稅提升至 50%。
從歐洲到拉美,從東南亞到非洲,中國汽車正喺遭遇四面合圍。靠國內生產、銷往外國嘅輕資產模式,天花板已經觸手可及。

2026 年 7 月 3 日,奇瑞喺南非比勒陀利亞落下一子,正式接管日產營運咗近六十年嘅羅斯林工廠。呢睇落只係日產止蝕、奇瑞擴產嘅一筆普通交易,但如果喺「中國車企點樣真正喺海外扎根」呢個命題嚟睇,分量就唔一樣啦。
日產甩包袱,奇瑞接產能
羅斯林工廠嘅出售,係日產全球重組計劃「Re:Nissan」嘅一部份。2024 同 2025 兩個財年,日產合計虧損超過 1.2 兆日元。按照重組計劃,日產將喺 2027 財年前關閉全球 7 間工廠、裁員約 2 萬人,全球生產基地由 17 間縮減至 10 間。

呢座工廠曾生產 Navara 皮卡、NP200 等車型,產品輻射四十多個非洲國家。但近年產能利用率持續走低。NP200 於 2024 年 3 月停產後,Navara 成為工廠唯一在產車型,然而月銷量只係數百臺。2025 年 5 月,日產宣布 Navara 本地生產亦將終止。呢座工廠對日產而言,已經由資產變成咗包袱。

對奇瑞嚟講,接手現成工廠比從零開始建廠更有效率。奇瑞自 2021 年進入南非市場,增長曲線陡峭。喺快速擴張嘅節點上,本地產能意味著規避匯率同關稅風險,亦能為下一步擴大份額提供硬件基礎。

更加重要係,呢筆收購係奇瑞「體系出海」棋局當中的一子。今年以嚟,奇瑞唔再只係賣車出去,而係將研發、製造、運營、標準一整套產業根系深植海外市场。
喺歐洲,西班牙巴塞羅那嘅歐洲運營中心同研究院已經啟用,同 EBRO 嘅合資工廠亦已投產運營;喺東南亞,越南 8 億美元嘅新工廠正喺推進。南非羅斯林工廠則定位為輻射南部非洲嘅綜合性汽車樞紐。
三地佈局,互相策應,一個全球製造網絡正喺成型。
南非呢局嘅真正挑戰
工廠交接完,真正嘅考驗或許先至開始。
奇瑞承諾保留全部 692 名員工,計劃 2027 年中投產,遠期單班產能 5 萬輛,並力爭 2028 年前實現 40% 嘅本地化率。而呢 40%,先至係核心難題。
目前南非對整車進口徵收約 25% 嘅關稅,政府正醞釀將稅率提高至 WTO 允許嘅上限 50%。一旦落實,以中國同印度品牌為主嘅進口車型將面臨直接成本壓力。
這對奇瑞嚟講反而係利好。不過亦有隱憂,一旦本地化進度跟唔上,零件進口成本會快速拉升整車製造成本。

更現實係,南非本土市場規模有限,年新车銷量約 55 萬輛,遠唔足以支撐大規模產能嘅消化。如果羅斯林工廠嘅產能打滿,奇瑞必須將南非作為出口基地,把車賣到南部非洲乃至更遠嘅市場。但非洲大多數國家嘅汽車市場規模極細、基礎設施薄弱,出口通道並唔順暢。
與此同時,南非本地零部件產業基礎並唔樂觀。南非汽車工業協會數據顯示,2025 年只有 33% 嘅車輛喺南非本地製造,較此前超過 50% 嘅水平大幅下滑。
南非本地零部件產業長期依賴跨國車企嘅訂單生存,隨著通用、福特、日產等品牌陸續撤出或縮減本地生產,零部件供應商體系已經出現萎縮。

奇瑞要喺三年內把本地化率做到 40%,意味著需要從零搭建或恢復一整套供應鏈,引入中國零部件供應商,並完成本地化認證同生產準備,時間表相當緊迫。
結語
羅斯林工廠呢顆棋子落咗下去,棋盤上面嘅格局就開始變咗。呢係中國汽車出海由「貿易型」轉向「扎根型」嘅一個標誌性節點。
喺關稅壁壘四面合圍嘅背景下,靠整車出口嘅輕資產模式已難以為繼。奇瑞揀咗一條更可持續嘅路,把研發、製造、供應鏈、標準一整套產業根系,深植喺海外市场。
呢條路並非坦途。40% 嘅本地化率、脆弱嘅零部件體系、有限嘅市場容量,每一道都係需要跨越嘅門檻。但奇瑞並非從零開始。

二十多年喺海外摸爬滾打積累嘅運營經驗,仲有中國汽車供應鏈嘅全球競爭力提供咗成本同技術支撐,佢喺西班牙、越南、南非三地佈局正喺形成網絡效應。
用奇瑞自己喺社交媒體上嗰句說話作結或許最合適「一個新時代即將來臨。從此刻起,奇瑞汽車將自豪地為南非服務,喺南非製造。」
呢句話講嘅唔止係一座工廠嘅命運,亦係中國汽車出海正喺經歷嘅一次根本性轉變,從賣一輛車到紮一處根,先至係真真正正意義上嘅全球化。

In the Malaysian SUV market, many buyers compare Perodua Ativa and Proton X70 when choosing a car. These two cars are quite close in price and positioning, today we will make a detailed comparison from multiple aspects to help you save time on research.
The OTR price of the Perodua Ativa in Malaysia is RM 62,500 - 73,400, with a total of 3 versions, including 1.0L Turbo X (RM 62,500), 1.0L Turbo H (RM 67,300), 1.0L Turbo AV (RM 73,400) etc.
The OTR price of the Proton X70 in Malaysia is RM 106,800 - 122,300, with a total of 3 versions, including 1.5L Standard 2WD (RM 106,800), 1.5L Executive 2WD (RM 115,800), 1.5L Premium 2WD (RM 122,300) etc.
In terms of price, the starting price of the Perodua Ativa is indeed RM 44,300 cheaper than the Proton X70. If your budget is limited, the entry-level version of Perodua can already meet daily needs. However, note that the savings of a few thousand ringgit might involve compromises in features, depending on your specific requirements.

The Perodua Ativa is equipped with 1.5L 4-cyl, 105 hp. Official fuel consumption 6.0 L/100km.
The Proton X70 is equipped with 1.5L Turbo, 140 hp. Official fuel consumption 7.0 L/100km.
In terms of power, the Proton X70's 1.5L Turbo has 35 more horsepower than the Perodua Ativa's 1.5L 4-cyl. However, for daily driving in the city, the power of both cars is sufficient and won't feel underpowered.

The Perodua Ativa body length is 4400 mm, trunk capacity 400 L.
The Proton X70 body length is 4400 mm, trunk capacity 400 L.
The dimensions of both cars are almost identical, and interior space difference is not large. For this class of car, daily use is completely sufficient.

The Perodua Ativa adopts FWD drive mode.
The Proton X70 adopts FWD drive mode.
Both cars use the same drive mode, both are FWD, daily driving experience will not have a huge difference.
Perodua Ativa warranty 5 years/150,000km, service interval every 10,000km or 6 months.
Proton X70 warranty 5 years/150,000km, service interval every 10,000km or 6 months.
Both cars warranty conditions are same, no need to worry about this aspect. Actual maintenance costs still depend on brand service network and parts prices, suggested to ask real owner experience in car owner groups.
Overall, Perodua Ativa and Proton X70 are both very good models in the Malaysian market. Choosing which one, key still depends on your personal needs and budget. It is recommended to do homework, compare quotes from several dealerships, then test drive to make final decision. Buying a car is a big matter, spending time doing homework will never be wrong.

Folks, today let's talk about big news on going global—not selling cars, but selling "drivers". On June 2, WeRide and Uber jointly announced a plan: to launch the country's first commercial Robotaxi pilot service in Madrid, Spain. In other words: Spanish residents will soon be able to hail a driverless taxi via Uber. This is the first time WeRide and Uber are partnering to enter the European market. Madrid also becomes the 12th city globally where WeRide's Robotaxi arrives.
According to official news, with the support of the Madrid regional government, this service will officially launch within this year. At that time, friends in Madrid can open the Uber App and call WeRide's Robotaxi with one click. It's just like calling an ordinary ride-hailing service, the difference is the arriving car has no driver—at least initially, there is still a difference. In the initial operation phase, a professionally trained safety monitor will be on board, as it's just launched, safety comes first.
This company, WeRide, you might have heard of it, or you might not. A brief introduction: Established in 2017, it has been dedicated to Robotaxi technology R&D and commercialization. Currently, its Robotaxis cover Guangzhou, Beijing, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, Zurich... plus Madrid now, totaling 12 cities. Spain is also the 5th European market WeRide has entered—previously entered Switzerland, France, Belgium, Slovakia. According to the plan agreed by WeRide and Uber in May 2025, they plan to deploy Robotaxi services in 15 new international cities within five years, deploying tens of thousands of Robotaxis globally. With the Madrid launch, the deployment in 4 cities has been completed, and 11 more will be covered successively before 2030.
To be honest, it's not the first time Chinese autonomous driving companies are going global, but the combination of Chinese technology + global mobility platform + European market is quite interesting. Madrid is one of the European Robotaxi markets with the most commercial potential, with a large population, high travel demand, and friendly local policies. Being able to take root in this market is a significant milestone for WeRide. For Uber, introducing Robotaxis is also a way to reduce costs—after all, drivers don't need salaries. For Madrid residents, hailing a taxi might be cheaper in the future.
