The EU region has higher tariffs on Chinese cars - the UK has a standard 10% tariff. This is part of the Brexit dividend to UK voters.
No, please don't start the 'blame brexit' debate. Blame failure of consecutive governments by all means though (except politics aren't allowed).
It's not politics or a debate, it's a fact. Brexit has allowed the UK to set it's own tariffs on Chinese vehicle imports, so they're relatively cheap. They wouldn't be as cheap if the tariffs were the same as the EU.
It's a failure of politicians to make the most of Brexit, we could put whatever tariffs we want within reason certainly matching neighboring countries. Unfortunately the politicians miss read the room and didn't think for a minute that the public would vote to leave. Those same politicians are not making the most of the opportunities available because they didn't want us to leave the eu.
