Four foreigners, who live in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, had their first chance to test drive domestic cars last Sunday, August 30. It was the first test driving team that was made up of foreigners living in China.
The four foreigners, invited by Globlal Times, are experienced drivers but they never drove in China. They had a spin in the Dongfeng Fengshen S30 sedan, along with six other Chinese test drivers.
“As more and more foreigners join the test driving team, Chinese automobile independent brands can be promoted to the world” Shi Ding said, the Executive Editor-in-Chief of the Global Times.
“Foreigners can give some good suggestions based on their experience and foreign standards after testing Fengshen S30. These suggestions may lead Chinese auto industries to global stage.”
Foriegners are not permited to drive in China with their foreign driving licenses. The Global Times organizes the test drive team for foreigners living in China and will offer opportunities to foreigners for their first drive in China.
The Fengshen S30, manufactured by Dongfeng Motor Corporation, one of the biggest automakers in China, targets the A-class car market with an engine displacement of 1.6 liters and sells for around 75,800 RMB.
