The Chinese portal Autohome has published a fresh ranking of the most popular body-on-frame SUVs in China, considering only models with serious off-road potential and monthly sales exceeding one thousand units. The leaders are:
-
Tank 300 — over 5,000 sales per month
-
Beijing BJ40 — over 5,000
-
BYD Leopard 5 — over 4,000
-
Tank 300 New Energy (hybrid) — over 3,000
-
Tank 500 New Energy — over 3,000
-
Tank 400 New Energy — over 3,000
-
BYD Leopard 8 — over 2,000
-
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado — over 2,000
-
Haval H5 and H9 — over 1,000
Interestingly, the ranking shows Chinese SUVs alongside foreign models assembled in China under license. In the comments, Chinese drivers actively discuss this competition and share their opinions:
-
“Tank 300 is an excellent choice in terms of price, reliability, and safety.”
-
“For the price of one Prado, you can buy two ‘three-hundreds.’”
-
“Domestic SUVs are getting better and better.”
-
“Great Wall and their Tank dominate the market — and it’s well-deserved.”
-
“Prado is expensive, cramped, and unimpressive — the price doesn’t match the quality.”
-
“Wrangler is losing ground — if they don’t lower the price, it will soon disappear from the market.”
-
“Tank is great for off-road, but fuel consumption is high on asphalt.”
