Left-hand drive only means RHD importers are buying 2027 production promises, not stock. The Traveller 7 export car becomes T2 Ultra and replaces the current T2 outright, with no parallel line. RHD starts in 2027, South Africa maybe 2028. That 12 to 24 month gap is the real cost.
Check the package against your shelf. T2 Ultra measures 4,785×2,006×1,870 mm on a 2,800 mm wheelbase, with 15.6-inch and 10.25-inch screens. Powertrains run from a 2.0T petrol at 187 kW and 390 Nm to plug-in hybrids of 26.6 kWh/108 km and 45.1 kWh three-motor at 575 kW.
Measure the gap before you bid. Output today is 100% LHD, because RHD tooling and homologation queue behind it. So 2027 is a start date, not a delivery date: RHD buyers wait 12 to 24 months while rent keeps running. LHD buyers work that window without competing for allocation.
Replacement, not addition, changes inventory. Current T2 body and chassis parts stay common, so service is simple, but unsold stock depreciates. Gulf, LHD Africa and Latin America take first allocation now; by 2027 capacity shifts to RHD and LHD slots get re-cut.
Before signing, request four items: the monthly LHD and RHD build plan with the 2027 RHD start, remaining T2 stock with a VIN list, PHEV battery transport and port certification papers, and written confirmation of RHD tooling spend. Then check three dates: end of T2, RHD SOP, South Africa launch.
What are the main vehicle models exported from China?
Sedans, SUVs, pickups and new-energy (BEV/PHEV) models. Available brands and stock shift with demand; EZ Auto sources to order and matches left/right-hand drive and emission standards to your country instead of holding inventory.
How is used-car condition assured for export?
Before shipping, EZ Auto arranges third-party inspection — body, chassis, engine bay, paint thickness and accident history — with 50+ photos and a video report. You pay and ship only after confirmation.
Left-hand or right-hand drive — which to choose?
It depends on local traffic rules (most of SE Asia and the Middle East drive on the right; some Commonwealth areas on the left). EZ Auto verifies the rule first, then matches the correct steering side to avoid a wrong purchase.
What differs when exporting NEVs vs fuel vehicles?
NEVs require attention to battery compliance, transport safety and local charging standards; fuel vehicles focus on emission and fuel-economy certification. EZ Auto matches models to each destination's import criteria without mixing standards.
Do exported vehicles need modifications?
It depends on the destination (lighting, instrument units, right-hand-drive conversion, etc.). EZ Auto lists required modifications and costs at contract, completing them before shipment to avoid rework at port.
