Volvo EX40: The China-Made Electric SUV You Can Already Buy in Canada
Here's something most Canadian buyers don't realize: one of the most established electric SUVs you can buy at a Volvo dealership right now is manufactured in China. The Volvo EX40, formerly known as the XC40 Recharge, is built at Volvo's plant in Luqiao, which sits within the Geely ecosystem. It's been on sale in Canada since 2021 in various electrified forms, and the fully electric version has built up a genuine track record on our roads.
Zeekr 001: The Most Exciting Chinese EV You Can't Buy Yet
I've written about a lot of Chinese EVs for this site. Affordable hatchbacks, value-focused crossovers, sedans that undercut Tesla on price. The Zeekr 001 is different. This isn't a car that asks you to compromise in exchange for a lower sticker price. This is a car that walks into a room full of BMWs and Teslas and says, "I belong here."
ORA 03 (Good Cat): The Most Fun-Looking EV You Can Buy in Canada
I'll be honest with you: the ORA 03 made me smile the first time I saw it. In a market flooded with identikit grey crossovers and sleek-but-soulless sedans, GWM's ORA brand went in a completely different direction. They designed a car that looks like a Porsche 356 had a brief but passionate affair with a classic VW Beetle, and the result grew up in 2026.

The MG ZS EV is the kind of vehicle that sells on substance rather than spectacle.

And in markets where it's been available, that straightforwardness has worked. The ZS EV has been one of the best-selling affordable electric SUVs in the UK since 2020 and has earned a loyal following in Australia and across Europe.
Chery Tiggo: The PHEV SUV That Actually Makes Sense for Canada

BYD Atto 2: The Affordable Compact Crossover
If you've been following BYD's global expansion, you already know the BYD Dolphin and BYD Atto 3. One's a fun little hatchback, the other a proper compact SUV. But there's been a hole in the middle, something for the buyer who wants a bit more ride height than the Dolphin without stepping up to the size and price of the Atto 3. That's exactly where the BYD Atto 2 comes in.
