Best Chinese Cars for Italy
MG and BYD are building real momentum in one of Europe's largest vehicle markets. Here's what Italian buyers should know about importing directly from China.
Italy's vehicle market is one of Europe's largest, and while it has historically protected its domestic auto industry, MG and BYD are building genuine momentum here too.
Why Import Directly Anyway?
Direct import from China's domestic market offers a further price advantage even against Italy's official dealer networks, plus access to models and trims not yet distributed locally.
Cost to Import
Vehicles ship from China to Genoa, La Spezia, Livorno, or Naples in 31–44 days, with freight from $5,445 USD, plus 10% EU duty and 22% Italian VAT. See our full Italy import guide for the complete process, or browse current inventory.
