Differences Between Parallel Imports and China-Spec Vehicles

[VanIsabella]

The main differences between parallel import vehicles and China-spec vehicles are as follows: 1. Price: Parallel import vehicles are cheaper than China-spec vehicles, typically by 10%~20%. 2. Models and configurations: Many overseas models are not available in the Chinese market due to strategic planning or certification issues by domestic automakers, so parallel imports offer many models that China-spec vehicles don't have. 3. After-sales service: China-spec vehicles come with manufacturer warranties and are eligible for official recalls, while parallel imports lack manufacturer warranties - owners need to purchase insurance for protection and aren't covered by manufacturer recalls.
