The idea of stopping Chinese cars is already outdated: many brands are already present in European price lists, often through international groups, joint ventures or brands created for export. The result is a growing range, especially in EVs and hybrids, with aggressive pricing and generous equipment.
For the Italian market, the question is no longer whether they will arrive, but how much ground they will gain. The real battle is about tariffs, perceived quality, dealer networks and customer trust, while European industry tries to defend margins and jobs.
