What Does Middle East Version Car Mean?
1 Answers
Middle East version cars refer to vehicles produced in the Middle East and imported to China, also known as parallel imported cars. Below is extended information about parallel imported cars: 1. Parallel imported cars bypass sales channels such as general distributors, regional dealers, and 4S stores, eliminating many intermediate steps. Additionally, parallel import dealers are not restricted by manufacturers in pricing, so they often offer significant discounts, typically 10%~20% lower than China-spec vehicles. 2. Advantages in models and delivery time When new models are launched overseas, they sometimes do not immediately enter the Chinese market due to automakers' strategic planning or domestic certification processes. However, as parallel imports, these vehicles are purchased overseas and then shipped to China for sale, greatly reducing waiting time for new models. 3. Richer model configurations Another advantage of parallel imported cars is the ability to purchase overseas models not available in China. Generally, automakers make certain adjustments or modifications to overseas models when importing them to China to align with local market positioning strategies. In contrast, parallel imports are directly sourced from regions like North America or the Middle East, so their configurations may differ from China-spec models.
