Yes. All nine countries covered drive on the right, so left-hand drive vehicles are standard throughout. Chinese vehicles in standard LHD configuration are correct for all South American markets covered here.

Petrol engine performance is reduced at high altitude due to thinner air. This affects markets like La Paz and El Alto in Bolivia, Quito in Ecuador, and Bogota in Colombia. Electric motors are not affected by altitude in the same way. If you are buying in a high-altitude city, ask the dealer about the specific model’s performance at your elevation, particularly for turbocharged petrol engines.

It depends on the country. Chile has one of the region’s most developed EV charging networks and BYD leads the EV market there. Colombia and Uruguay have growing networks. Bolivia, Paraguay, Venezuela, and parts of Argentina and Peru have limited public charging. For cities with thin charging infrastructure, plug-in hybrids or petrol models from Chery, Haval, or Changan are more practical.

Where Chinese brands have authorised local distributors, vehicles carry manufacturer-backed warranty serviced through that distributor’s network. Terms vary by brand and country, typically 3-5 years. Grey-imported vehicles may not carry local warranty. Confirm warranty scope and service network coverage with the authorised distributor before purchase.

Chery has operated a local assembly operation in Ecuador. This can affect pricing relative to fully imported models. Confirm current production status and model availability with Chery’s official Ecuador dealer network, as assembly operations and model lines change.
