CN Auto HR Maps the Ownership Behind Chinese Car Badges
A reference database covering Chinese car brands, their parent groups, Chinese names, model crosswalks, and overseas market availability.
Field notes
The reference separates brand identity from corporate ownership, recording the Chinese name, romanization, parent group, and overseas reach for each listed badge. Its market matrix distinguishes sold, announced, withdrawn, and never-available cases rather than reducing availability to a yes-or-no label. Additional utilities decode plate prefixes into province, city, and vehicle category, while the price tool converts a Chinese sticker price into four currencies and displays the stored rate date.
