The China Automotive Quality Network, launched at the initiative of the PRC Market Regulatory Administration, has released a cautiously measured assessment of the reliability of popular crossovers sold within the domestic market. The compilation covers 19 models priced around 100,000 yuan, roughly matching 1.4 million rubles at current exchange rates. The project aims to shed light on how these vehicles perform in everyday use, based on a blend of real-world experiences and technical evaluations rather than marketing promises alone. This initiative helps buyers make more informed choices by weighing practical durability alongside modern features that often attract buyers in large cities and beyond.
Industry experts reviewed a wide spectrum of data sources, including owner complaints, documented failure risks, safety incident statistics, and maintenance records. The overall verdict pinpoints a list of models that demonstrate robust reliability under typical driving conditions, including the GACTrumpchi GS3, Geely Binyue, Wuling Xingchi, Kia Sportage, Chery Tiggo 5x, Venucia T60, Ruilan X3 PRO, and Chery Tiggo 3x. Also highlighted are the Roewe RX3, MG ZS, Beijing X3, and Peugeot 2008 as models that tend to perform consistently well in terms of longevity and dependability, factors that matter to families, fleet buyers, and solo commuters alike. This optional reliability rating serves as a practical gauge for owners seeking low-surprise ownership experiences across different trim levels and usage patterns.
On the other hand, the anti-rating section lists models that have shown more frequent reliability concerns. Included are the Changan CS35PLUS, the Southeast DX5 and DX3, the CS15 from Changan, the Zotye T300, and the Cowin X. In addition, the list flags the Sihao X4, which has been marketed in Russia as the Moskvich 3, reflecting how regional reception and aftersales support can influence perceived value and long-term ownership satisfaction. The compilation underscores that reliability is not only a matter of initial build quality but also of dealer networks, parts availability, and the ease of obtaining timely service across different regions.
Earlier reporting indicates that DongFeng plans to reveal the Mengshi 917, a high-performance electric SUV capable of delivering around 1,000 horsepower, in China on August 25. This forthcoming reveal signals a continuing push toward high-end performance electrics, a trend that increasingly intersects with mainstream consumer expectations for power, efficiency, and advanced technology in everyday crossover models. Analysts and enthusiasts will be watching how this vehicle positions itself within a crowded market that is rapidly adopting electrification, autonomy features, and connected vehicle ecosystems. The timing of the Mengshi 917 drop also highlights how manufacturers balance prestige, technology demonstration, and practical pricing strategies as they expand their electric lineups across the country and into neighboring markets.
