What is a Middle East Version Car?
1 Answers
Middle East version refers to vehicles produced in the Middle East region and imported to China, which can also be termed as parallel imported cars. Below is relevant information: 1. Parallel imported cars refer to vehicles purchased by traders from overseas markets without manufacturer authorization and introduced into the Chinese market for sale. These cars are generally cheaper compared to domestic versions. 2. Based on different import origins, parallel imported cars can be categorized into "U.S. specification vehicles" and "Middle East version vehicles," distinguishing them from "China specification vehicles" sold through traditional channels. Sometimes when new models are launched overseas, they may not be available in China due to manufacturers' strategic plans or domestic certification processes.
