Chinese EV ADAS Calibration
Chinese car brands are now a fixture on UK roads. BYD outsold Tesla in the UK in 2025. MG is one of the country’s fastest-growing car brands. Omoda and Jaecoo are expanding rapidly, and newer names like Leapmotor, XPeng and NIO are already arriving. For bodyshops and windscreen specialists, that means one thing: more Chinese vehicles needing ADAS calibration after repairs — and most workshops simply aren’t equipped to handle them.
GDI Services is.
We provide specialist static ADAS calibration for the full range of Chinese car brands now on UK roads — including EVs, plug-in hybrids, and petrol models across BYD, MG, Omoda, Jaecoo and beyond.
Why Chinese Cars Demand Specialist ADAS Calibration
Chinese vehicles — whether EV, hybrid or petrol — are fitted with some of the most sophisticated ADAS systems on the market. Models like the BYD Atto 3, MG4, and Jaecoo J7 come equipped with forward-facing radar, multi-camera lane assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and in many cases, full 360-degree surround-view camera systems as standard.
Calibrating these systems correctly is not straightforward. Many Chinese models require a working area of up to 100 square metres for 360-camera calibration alone. Forward camera and radar targets need 8 to 10 metres of unobstructed clear space. Floor level must be precise, lighting must be controlled, and targets must be placed to exact OEM tolerances.
General workshops — and even many ADAS providers — simply don’t have the space, the equipment, or the vehicle-specific data to calibrate these systems to manufacturer standards. Attempting calibration in an undersized or uneven environment doesn’t just produce an incorrect result. It produces a vehicle that appears calibrated but isn’t — a genuine road safety risk.
