Despite its diminutive size, Hong Kong is full of people in love with their cars. And while it’s the flashy sports cars and extreme luxury sedans that usually get most of the attention, the reality is that most residents are just wanting to get from one place to another affordably and in comfort. So it should come as no surprise that the top selling models in Hong Kong year after year are family sedans and, of course, people carriers. And this makes good sense, because few places on Earth put a higher price tag on square footage than Hong Kong, so getting as much space as possible out of an automobile’s footprint is at the top of most new car buyers’ lists – and no vehicle does this better than the van.
So, if you are in the market for your next set of wheels, consider these three tried-and-true people movers that are the most popular family cars in Hong Kong.
Protect Your New Ride
Hong Kong is known for being a very safe city to live in: however the same cannot always be said for driving. Dense peak-hour congestion and occasionally severe weather add up to lots of fender-benders, and repair bills in Hong Kong are not cheap. More concerning even than cosmetic damage to your new family hauler is the risk of theft. The vehicles listed above are frequently the targets of thieves due to their popularity and value, and car theft and smuggling the cars abroad for resale or stripping them for parts is a big, albeit illegal, business in Hong Kong and southern China.
The best protection for both accidents and theft is to be prepared. This includes having a factory-installed or aftermarket vehicle tracking system fitted to your new automobile so that you can always keep an eye on it, and so that police have a better chance of recovering the vehicle should it ever fall into the wrong hands.
Additionally, the need for comprehensive auto insurance cannot be understated, since paying a little more in premium rates can reap huge dividends should you ever have an accident. And if your new pride and joy ever does get stolen, the right coverage will make sure that you are not faced with a huge financial loss, and that ultimately you will be able to replace your stolen vehicle with a new one and get back on the road quickly.
