Editor's comments:

In recent years, FAW Group has invested a lot of high-quality resources on the Red Flag brand, making it more cost-effective in the same level of products, not to mention that it has special feelings in the minds of consumers. The rise in sales also proves the success of the transformation of the Red Flag brand to a younger age. There is no doubt that Jiefang Automobile is a pioneer in the field of trucks in China, while FAW-Volkswagen and FAW-Toyota brands rely on their strong brand strength in joint ventures to minimize the impact of the epidemic and show a head effect. Each brand under FAW Group gives play to its own unique advantages. Among the many models, which one do you like best?
