‌Right-hand drive cars refer to cars with the driver's seat on the right side of the vehicle. This design mainly appears in some specific countries and regions, such as Japan, the United Kingdom, India, etc. In these countries and regions, vehicles usually drive on the left.

Common brands and models of right-hand drive cars

Japanese brands such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan usually have right-hand drive designs. These models are very common in Japan and other right-hand drive countries.

Some luxury sports cars and SUVs also adopt right-hand drive designs. This design not only conforms to local driving habits, but also facilitates export to right-hand drive countries.

In mainland China, right-hand drive vehicles are prohibited from driving on the road, so it is difficult to see right-hand drive cars in China.

Features and applicable scenarios of right-hand drive cars

The design of right-hand drive cars is mainly to adapt to local driving habits and road rules. Since the driver is on the right side of the vehicle, the vehicle usually drives on the left, which can avoid conflicts with oncoming vehicles and improve driving safety. In addition, when right-hand drive cars are exported to right-hand drive countries, they also need to be adjusted and certified accordingly to ensure compliance with local regulations and standards.
