Chinese consumers go for hi-tech premium cars

Chinese premium car owners are more interested in high-technology configurations while the Europeans are more concerned about the practicability of the vehicle, according to a report released this week.

More than 80 percent of premium car owners in China are greatly influenced by the controllability and advanced technology of the models when making a purchasing decision, the survey from Hurun Report said.

Intelligent vehicle interaction system, automatic engine start-stop functions and driving assistance are must-haves for the Chinese high-end car owners. They also like options such as airless and explosion-proof tire, command system, auto piloting and intelligent recharging.
