Americans Can't Have These Affordable Chinese EVs. But They're Coming To Canada

• Dongfeng Motor showed off a series of cars in Montreal, some affordable, some higher-end.
• The brand is currently going through the homologation process with its models, with plans to offer its first two models in 2027.
• The Dongfeng Nammi Box and Vigo will be the first two on sale. Dongfeng says they have a target price of under $35,000 CAD. ($25,000 USD)

It seems like if it's day that ends in “y,” then there’s another Chinese car brand announcing its intention to go to Canada. We’ve already seen concrete plans from BYD, Chery, and Geely to bring over cheap (and not so cheap) EVs to Canada’s market. Remember, a new trade agreement has reduced Canada’s 100% tariff on Chinese-made cars to 6.1% for up to 49,000 cars for 2027. The Canadian government's goal is to give drivers more choices for lower-cost EVs.
