The article departs from theoretical and methodological considerations of gender and car culture and argues that gender and cars are entangled in both global and local assemblages.

Present day urban car culture in China both challenges and radicalizes fixed figures of gendered and masculinised car culture; while at the same time carving out new gaps related to class, gender and more sustainable modes of transportation.
