Currently, mainland Asia is a big pool of innovation and design, particularly, in car manufacturing.\u00a0 Design teams beaver away at creating fun new designs, shapes and technologies.\u00a0 The result of all this activity is the production of sharp-looking new vehicles appearing from South Korea, Malaysia and China, and in Australia we are benefiting from these excellent new car products that are competitively priced, well designed and built to a high standard.\u00a0 Some Australian new-car buyers are recognising the value in buying a vehicle from South Korea, China and Malaysia, so it\u2019s a great time to be a car buyer, not to mention a car enthusiast spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n

Models from China<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

China is the biggest country in Asia, and we\u2019re starting to get familiar with Chery, Great Wall Motors, Foton and Haval model names.\u00a0 Great Wall and Foton make a nice range of low cost utes and pick-up trucks that can be either 2WD or 4WD.<\/p>\n

With a grunty 2.8-litre turbo-diesel that has been designed by Cummins, the Foton Tunland models impress with smooth power and efficiency.\u00a0 Inside, the Tunland is comfortable and well equipped.\u00a0 Foton Tunland Utes come with a 3 year\/100,000 km warranty making the new buy even sweeter.<\/p>\n

Low cost Chery cars are easy to live with, and are principally popular to those who are on a slight budget.\u00a0 Chery J1 offers a small car in a neat package.\u00a0 Chery J3 cars are a little larger and offer comfortable space in the form of a small hatchback.\u00a0 The Chery J11 SUV offers superior value for money and a full three year\/100,000 kilometre warranty.<\/p>\n

Little known in Australia, but hugely popular in other parts of the world, are vehicles from Haval.\u00a0 Haval is the newest SUV player in the Australian SUV market, coming to these shores after dominating the Chinese SUV market for the best part of 10 years.\u00a0 Haval is an offshoot of Great Wall, much in the same way that Lexus is an offshoot of Toyota, FPV is an offshoot of Ford and Arbarth is an offshoot of Mini.\u00a0 However, Haval specialises in SUVs only, and you won\u2019t find any other type of vehicle wearing the Haval badge.\u00a0 They may come in different sizes, but they\u2019re all SUVs. What\u2019s more, Haval makes classy SUVs \u2013 vehicles that combine serious off-roading ability with precision engineering and style.<\/p>\n

While parent company Great Wall tends towards producing reliable no-frills vehicles, Haval throws in a lot more bells and whistles, plus extra luxury – while still keeping the price towards the lower end.\u00a0 In creating these vehicles, the Haval design team has benefited from the knowledge and flair of the former head of the BMW design team, Pierre LeClerq.\u00a0 Haval vehicles are firstly practical and secondly beautiful.<\/p>\n

Models from Malaysia<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Proton is Malaysia\u2019s national new-car producer.\u00a0 Having produced cars since the early eighties, Proton, in the last decade, has really kicked on to produce some excellent new models that are well-built and modern competing directly with the best low-cost models the world over.<\/p>\n

Proton\u2019s Suprima is a stylish small hatch with six airbags, reverse sensors, Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, steering wheel audio and telephone controls, and a sprightly 1.6-litre turbo engine.\u00a0 The car has five-star ANCAP safety and a five year warranty.<\/p>\n

Proton\u2019s new Preve is a saloon version of the Suprima and has a responsive naturally aspirated 1.6-litre petrol engine with 80 kW of power and 150 Nm of torque.\u00a0 A large boot, good legroom and comfortable seats make the Preve a great buy for those on a budget.\u00a0 Again five-star safety and a five-year warranty sets up an attractive package that asks well under $20k.<\/p>\n

Proton\u2019s Exora is a well thought-out seven-seater wagon that has the family in mind with a DVD player available, MP3 connectivity, Bluetooth, cupholders, plenty of room and air vents for each row of seats.\u00a0 A four-star ANCAP safety test result with a five-year warranty sets this new model apart.<\/p>\n

Models from South Korea<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Currently boasting the fifth largest automotive industry in the world, South Korea has some superb new models that have grown in popularity throughout the world almost as fast as PSY\u2019s viral \u201cGangnam Style\u201d video.\u00a0 The three main car manufacturing names we\u2019ve all heard about are Kia, Ssangyong and Hyundai.\u00a0 Both Kia and Hyundai have some of the sharpest modern design teams in the business, and Ssangyong continues to offer some very good utility and SUV type vehicles.<\/p>\n

Kia produces some nicely designed cars for the small-to-large car buyer.\u00a0 People movers are available, while the Sorento and Sportage are really popular SUV models.\u00a0 High-end models are very well equipped, safe and capable vehicles with loads of style.\u00a0 Watch out for the new Kia Stinger with its fastback styling and sleek lines.\u00a0 Longer and wider than a BMW 4 Gran Coupe and boasting a longer wheelbase than the Lexus GS, the Stinger means business and ensures you will have a commanding presence on the road.\u00a0 A twin-turbo V6 motor puts out around 270 kW and is matched to a slick eight-speed auto gearbox.\u00a0 The RWD chassis delivers exhilarating road holding and will be a delight to drive.\u00a0 There will be a 2.0-litre turbo performance model available as well.<\/p>\n

Hyundai, like Kia, offer very stylish vehicles that cater for all shapes and sizes, purposes and performance.\u00a0 Hyundai are pushing the boundaries in the fields of styling and safety, and with solid engines and drivetrains these are a sound new-car buy.\u00a0Hyundai\u2019s latest Genesis is a luxury car that competes very well with the best of European luxury cars.\u00a0 Tucson and Santa Fe models are exceptionally popular SUVs, while Hyundai know how to make a stylish and practical large work van or people mover \u2013 known as the iLoad and iMax respectively.\u00a0 Watch out for the latest i30, promising clean lines and even more performance.<\/p>\n

Sadly, Ssangyong has declined in sales across Australia, though the fashionable brand of SUVs and utes are sure to make a come-back in late 2017 with SsangYong marketing the new Y400 large SUV, based on the LIV-2 concept revealed at the recent Paris motor show, and the Tivoli compact crossover.\u00a0 The Tivoli is a compact SUV with nice lines and excellent features.\u00a0 With around 95 kW of power, the 1.6-litre petrol engine is powerful and efficient, while torque peaks at 160 Nm.\u00a0 Korean crash testing has given the new Tivoli a five-star rating.<\/p>\n

The new Y400 is a big Ssangyong Rexton SUV replacement that offers strong diesel turbo power and efficiency with loads of seating comfort and space.\u00a0 And, if you need a stylish new ute for work and recreation, the Actyon Sport ute is a tough unit with good looks and plenty of power.<\/p>\n
