I've owned a Lexus, a Beemer and a Benz. Now I'm lowkey obsessed with Chinese EVs. What am I missing?

Okay so I need a reality check from people who actually know cars.

I've owned a Lexus GS, a BMW 5 Series, and a Mercedes M-Class over the past 10 years. Never really thought twice about it - you pay for the badge, you get the experience, done.

But lately I've been down a rabbit hole on Chinese EVs. The specs are insane for the price. The interiors look like something out of a sci-fi movie. And the range is genuinely competitive now.

My brain keeps saying "but it's Chinese" and then I remember I said the same thing about Korean cars in 2005 and now I drive past Kia dealerships that look like Apple Stores.

Is this a legitimate upgrade path or am I about to make a very expensive mistake?

People who've made the switch - what actually surprised you? And people who haven't - what's your actual reason beyond the brand name?

Chinese EVs are changing the luxury car market in China?

I am an exporter of new energy vehicles from China, One thing I've noticed in China's auto market is how quickly the balance between foreign luxury brands and domestic EV brands is changing. A BMW 5 Series that used to cost $74,000 now goes for just $41500!

BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi used to have a very strong position in China. But their prices have been falling significantly in recent years, with frequent discounts and promotions becoming increasingly common.

At the same time, Chinese EV brands are moving in the opposite direction.

Brands like BYD, Zeekr, NIO, Li Auto and Xiaomi are investing heavily in technology, smart cockpits, driver-assistance systems and EV platforms. Some of their products are now competing directly with traditional luxury brands — and in some cases, consumers seem to prefer the Chinese option.

I work in the Chinese automotive export industry, so I get to see a lot of different models and price changes firsthand.

What I find interesting is that this isn't simply about "Chinese cars getting cheaper."

It's also about foreign brands losing some of their pricing power while Chinese brands are becoming more competitive.

I'm curious what people outside China think:

Do you think Chinese EV brands will eventually become a serious threat to BMW, Mercedes and Audi globally, or is the situation in China unique?
