I assumed they were already doing this, but maybe they don’t want to compete with themselves and push prices even lower? The Leapmotor B10 midsized SUV seems like the sweet-spot, based on reviews from Australia, anyway, like: https://wholemap.com/cars/video/leapmotor-b10-small-suv-2026-driven

Would theLeapmotor B10 compete with the Fiat 500X? Or maybe the 600e?

Canadian here - we’re removing tariffs on Chinese manufactured cars, so might be getting some BYD vehicles - is the new 2026 BYD Seal four door sedan really a replacement for the Tesla 3? It looks cool, anyway: https://wholemap.com/cars/video/byd-seal-2026-compared-to-teslas-model3

Well put, I agree. For me it is inexpensive little ‘city cars’ that I’d like to see more of, like the BYD Dolphin Surf hatchback.

Tough to get through that page with so many ads, but it didn’t seem to answer an important distinction:

Does this mean “Canadians are willing to buy cars manufactured in China by companies that already operate in Canada, like Volvo / Polestar, Mini, and GM.”

Or does it mean “Canadians are willing to buy cars by Chinese companies that don’t yet have a footprint in Canada yet, like BYD or Chery or Zeekr.”
