Chinese automaker Brilliance has started selling its BS6 sedan in Germany, as the first 270 vehicles arrived by ship in Bremerhaven, local media reports. It is the second attempt by the Chinese company to enter the European market after cars performed poorly in a crash test in 2007.
Last year, Brilliance's imported cars were rated with one out of five
stars in a crash test by Germany's automobile club ADAC. Additional
side-impact crash tests showed that a driver had "almost no chance of
survival", the German news site Deutsche Welle reports. As a result,
the Chinese decided to pull the plug and leave the German market before
sales started to develop.
This year, the revamped cars were given three stars by EU-approved
Spanish tester Idiada. Brilliance, a BMW-partner in China, aims at
selling its cars in 17 European countries including Switzerland, France
and Spain.
