China's car market is wildly varying, ranging from cheap small hatchbacks, to EVs that have enough power to rival hypercars.

These are the ones I personally would buy; these cars are all very well executed vehicles in their classes.

Except the Zeekr Mix, all cars on this list are sold outside of China, or have plans to be sold outside of China.

The chance of Chinese cars reaching the United States in the near future is pretty slim thanks to tariffs and tech bans. But are we really missing out on so much?

After testing more than 25 Chinese cars over the last few years—from surprisingly good budget commuters to truly mind-blowing super sedans—I’d argue the answer is a strong yes. We’re missing out on a lot. These six cars were my absolute favorites—ones that would be in my driveway, if that were possible. And I think they could resonate with other Americans too.
