The 5 Most Convincing Chinese SUVs Available in Switzerland in 2026
The Swiss market for Chinese electric SUVs is booming. In a market with no customs duty on cars, Chinese manufacturers offer SUVs with impressive performance at competitive prices. Here is our selection of the 5 most convincing Chinese SUVs available in Switzerland, based on verified data.
Why Switzerland is an ideal playground for Chinese SUVs
Switzerland benefits from a free trade agreement with China. Since 1 January 2024, Switzerland has abolished customs duties on industrial products, cars included; it does, however, apply to electric vehicles a 4% automobile tax on the import price, plus 8.1% VAT. The European Union applies to Chinese battery electric vehicles the standard 10% import duty plus countervailing duties ranging from roughly 7.8% to 35.3% depending on the manufacturer (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2754).
Major Chinese manufacturers have set up official networks here: BYD Switzerland (a direct subsidiary, with partner dealers including the Galliker Carplanet group), Emil Frey AG for Zeekr, Hedin Distribution AG for XPeng and NOYO AG for Voyah. Warranty periods vary by brand, model and component (vehicle, battery, motor): check them with the importer before buying.
