Yes, Chinese cars are available in right-hand drive — BYD builds the Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal and Han in RHD, Changan offers the CS35 Plus, CS75 Plus and Alsvin, and XPeng produces RHD G6 and G9. But used RHD stock inside China is scarce because China drives on the right, so sourcing comes from export-oriented dealer stock with longer lead times. Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the UK and Ireland require RHD by law.

Where LHD gives you more choice
The Gulf states, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia, most of Latin America and continental Europe all use LHD — far more stock and better pricing.
Do not assume conversion is possible
Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the UK and Ireland do not permit LHD registration for ordinary imports, and conversions are usually not accepted for registration. Combine the RHD requirement with each market's age limit (Kenya: 8 years) before shortlisting.
FAQ
Why is used RHD stock scarce in China? China drives on the right, so the domestic used-car pool is almost entirely LHD. RHD units are built for export markets and mostly sold abroad.
CarSourceHub RHD Availability
Our published stock list is left-hand drive. Right-hand drive units are sourced to order and are not held in stock: after a confirmed order the typical lead time from sourcing to ready-for-shipment is 4-8 weeks, depending on the model, trim and factory-RHD availability at that moment. Send us the model, market and destination port and we confirm availability, factory-RHD build confirmation and a firm FOB price before any deposit.
