#1: Wuling Hong Guang (59,000–84,000 RMB)

Dubbed “the world's best-selling car you've never heard of,” the appeal of this multi-purpose vehicle is price. The Wuling Hong Guang is the product of a joint venture between the Shanghai Automotive Industry Cooperation, Wuling Motors, and General Motors, and is also sold in India. 530,000unitssold

#2: Haval H6 (120,000-146,800 RMB)

Great Wall Motors hopes to enter the US market by 2021, after winning over Australia, Latin America, and Europe with its “affordable luxury.” Yet, the domestic market makes up most of the automaker's sales—the Haval H6 is China's most popular SUV. 500,000unitssold

#3: Volkswagen Lavida (115,9000-162,900 RMB)

The PRC'S most popular sedan may sound foreign, but it is made exclusively for the Chinese market through a JV between SAIC and Volkswagen. The Lavida's allure is mystifying to many, as critics claim it is plain-looking and not competitively priced. 450,000unitssold

#4: Buick Excelle (109,000-144,900 RMB)

The quintessentially American Buick brand has deep roots in China, producing its Envision in a Yantai factory for export to the US. The Excelle, though, is made exclusively for China through another SAIC JV with General Motors. 416,000unitssold
