In 2024, cars built in China, primarily from brands like Buick, Lincoln, Volvo, and Polestar, surpassed sales figures of all U.K.-built cars in the U.S. market. Despite the imposition of a 100% import tariff and the presence of seven British brands, U.S. consumers favored Chinese-manufactured vehicles. U.K. brands like Jaguar and Land Rover struggle to compete, focusing on high-end markets, while the U.K. auto industry's overall sales have dwindled, indicating a significant shift in consumer preferences and the challenges faced by British automobiles in the competitive global landscape.
Despite a 100% tariff, made-in-China cars outsold British-built cars in the U.S., showcasing the resilience of the Chinese auto industry in a challenging market.
American consumers bought more China-built cars, like those from Buick and Lincoln, than all U.K. brands combined, highlighting a shift in market dynamics.
