Magneti Marelli Parts & Services is ready to meet the needs of customers who have chosen vehicles from Chinese manufacturers, whose presence in the European market continues to grow significantly. Within the broader context of automotive sales across the continent—which, in 2025, remains largely stable with an overall increase of just 0.9% in the first nine months of the year—Chinese brands have achieved a market share of 9%. According to projections from the analytics firm AlixPartners, this percentage is expected to rise to 13% by 2029.
Even when Chinese brands were far less widespread, Magneti Marelli Parts & Services supported the aftermarket with a broad selection of spare parts—including air filters, cabin filters, brake discs and pads, fuel and oil filters, lambda sensors, water pumps, shock absorbers, suspension components, wiper blades, and more—catering to lesser-known brands at the time such as Brillance, Foton, Great Wall, and JAC.
To meet evolving user needs, Magneti Marelli Parts & Services has strenghten its commitment in this segment, and is now offering an extensive and continuously updated product range with a growing number of SKUs, covering car models that have just entered the European market. In addition to the already available options, new spare parts have been introduced for the most prevalent Chinese brands. For MG, the historic British brand now owned by SAIC Motor, products include brake pads, thermostats, wheel bearings, batteries, and window regulator components for the ZS SUV, as well as injector parts and brake pads for the HS SUV, and shock absorbers and brake pads for the electric MG 5 and Marvel models. Brake pads for the LYNK & Co. 01 are also available.
also offers a wide range of spare parts for various Chery models, including the Omoda 5—such as shock absorbers and control arms—and for the Chery Tiggo 8, with brake pads, shock absorbers, thermostats, and window regulator components. For Chery Tiggo 3X, Chery Tiggo 5X, and Chery Tiggo 7—marketed in Italy under the DR brand as DR 3.0, DR 5.0, and DR 6.0—Magneti Marelli Parts & Services provides an even richer product offer, including air and cabin filters, oil and fuel filters, brake pads, thermostats, wiper blades, and starter motors.
The needs of users driving newly introduced or less widely available Chinese models in Italy are also addressed, with parts available for vehicles such as the electric Nio ET7 and ES8, and Xpeng P7.
Alongside the expansion of the spare parts portfolio, Magneti Marelli Parts & Services continues to invest in training, recognizing that the increasing presence of Chinese vehicles requires ever-evolving technical expertise. The company has already launched specific new courses dedicated to these models, further enriching one of the most comprehensive aftermarket training portfolios, with over 100 courses available both remotely and in person. Among the active offerings is a technical monograph on the MG3 Hybrid+, an eight-hour training focused on high-voltage components, transmission, GS62H combustion engine, and main onboard systems—providing participants with manuals, wiring diagrams, and certificates of attendance. The high quality of the training offer is guaranteed by a highly specialized internal team consisting of eight experts (five trainers working throughout Italy and three dedicated to course development and technical documentation), ensuring excellence and consistency of delivery nationwide. This integrated approach reaffirms Magneti Marelli Parts & Services' ability to anticipate market trends, equipping workshops and professionals with up-to-date skills to confidently tackle new technologies from Chinese manufacturers.
By expanding its product range to include Chinese brands that have recently entered our market, Magneti Marelli Parts & Services once again demonstrates its commitment to customer satisfaction, offering a comprehensive and continuously updated selection of premium-quality spare parts that match original equipment standards.
