These types of cars are manufactured in China. This is how companies save production costs

The BMW iX3 is manufactured in China
For many, this fact may come as a surprise. But The BMW iX3 rolls off the assembly line exclusively at the factory in Shenyang, China. While the combustion engines of BMW’s SUVs, such as the larger X5 and X7 models, are built at the American plant in Spartanburg, all electric variants sold in Europe come from China. In addition, the Mini is also increasingly directed towards China. The next generation of electric Cooper, scheduled for release in 2024, will be produced in Oxford. The BMW Group recently announced this change and decided on the European region. Until recently, the Chinese company Great Wall planned to make a Mini.
