They might sell well in volume terms, but would it be correct to say they are among the “most popular” models in China, compared to Nissans, Toyotas, Hondas, Hyundais etc?
Not sure what you’re asking, but here’s a sample:

Those Chinese sellers aren’t teensy econoboxes either. They’re not much different than the popular sedans/hatchbacks popular here.
(Japanese cars aren’t so popular, for obvious reasons).
