The vending machine will be open to the public from Monday to April 23. Buyers will be given a 3-day test drive before they have to commit to any purchase. Similar machines are being planned in Beijing and Hangzhou.

At Guangzhou's machine, buyers can also take out one other car if they are not satisfied with their selections.
