A few days ago, I was on vacation in China, and my younger brother had just bought this car. Apart from its beautiful exterior and exquisite interior craftsmanship, he showed me its autonomous driving feature on the way from home to a restaurant. The entire time, he was playing on his phone while the car automatically arrived at an unfamiliar restaurant. This truly felt like an experience from the next era. Now, I’m back in Singapore, back to the real world.😂

Chinese cars are really good value. I for one is driving a MG Marvel R Performance. I feel like the build quality and equipment is amazing. I got it for 36 000 euros new. I do not see any EU cars can compete with that price.

As an 11 owner, I originally didn't like the 07. But seeing how far they came as a company, going from horrible sales every month to over 15k in a month last month or the month before that? Your video definitely made me hate the unicorn a little bit less 😂 thanks guys
I always felt Avatr had potential. It is a really well thought out tri-partnership, with Changan's styling and auto manufacturing expertise, CATL's world leading battery expertise, and Huawei's infotainment stack and autonomous driving suite which appears to be able to go toe to toe with anyone in the industry. Best of all three worlds! Now that this combo is filtering down to cheaper models such as the 07, good to see sales go up accordingly.
@@tren133 Very potent trifecta, you are completely right 👍🏼 I'd say the 11 and the 12 could probably rival that of Tesla's fsd (from what I've seen up to recently, maybe they've had another update since I watched videos haha)
@@christiaanburger2205 Some Chinese companies like Xpeng are switching over to all vision approach to autonomous driving like Tesla for cost cutting purposes, but Huawei appears to sticking to its Lidar plus vision plus radar approach. If in the end it turns out Lidar will be a necessary component in a true level 4 or above self driving system, then Huawei is really gonna be in the drivers seat in that scenario.
I was wondering when you are going to do a review on this. But I couldn't wait, and bought the thing. It's an amazing car. Absolutely love it. I look at it everytime and wonder how such a car can be had for a little over 200k rmb.
@@christiaanburger2205 I am in Zhuhai and to be honest I haven't seen too many 07s yet. But I have seen a few 11s. What model are you driving and what colour? 😊
@jj1901 Guangzhou here. All black inner and outer 11. Quite the big group here and in Foshan already. These days I see at least 1 or 2 a day when out driving
@@christiaanburger2205 Black looks very sleek on the 11 👍 I originally wanted black but I think it doesn't match the 07 SUV shape and the black for the 07 looks kinda brown so I got the white (with black/dark purple) interior.
Very good looking car and the color is really fantastic. With all the tech and great interiors, and price, it is very easy to see why the EU and the US are slapping Chinese cars with heavy tariffs. Can't compete with them, block them. I hope this changes, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Great reviews my dude! 👏🏼♥️
This car would kill the german brands if it would hit the german market with a reasonable price! The Design and quality is higher than BMW or Mercedes!
Out of Spec Reviews gave you a great shout out today. You should get in touch with Kyle. Sounds like he wants to visit China next year. Your video was also featured on Electrified. Congrats!!!
I'm still shocked by how styling is a knockout in just about every single regard nowadays not just with Avatr, but the breadth of the Chinese market as a whole, even foreign China-exclusive models (VW Lamando & Ford Mondeo my beloved). I'm still interested in how BYD somehow improved the styling of their export models (the Seal and Dolphin come to mind, not sure if the Yuan Plus / Atto 3 has this change yet, although the upcoming Yuan UP / Atto 2 def will) by in response to the mixed reception to the "Build Your Dreams" text on the rear bumper in European markets, it's just changed to read "BYD" next to the model name on the back, streamlining the whole thing in a way I just love. I'm just fascinated with the Chinese car industry as a whole, I remember stumbling upon this channel when it was only about 4-5 videos in (the Lynk & Co 03+ and Roewe i5 reviews were my first videos i watched). Keep up the great work!
The artistic filters that your channel adds to the videos don't make the picture any better and it is recommended that they be removed. It looks blurry.
That's One of the best good looking suv i like it a lot specially in that Nice dark green color, would be nicer if the interior were all the same color like that shrimp color ?
You make great content, i do enjoy the jabs @ EU tarrifs and Huawei banners. God speed m8. the olive green on this 1 is pretty good indeed, and so are your pants, had some n i think ill look for more, very stylish
Ethan doesn't even need to argue that Chinese cars are competitive, since it is already proven. You think the US and EU are putting up tariffs and trying to ban Huawei outright for "national security" reasons? Of course not, it is merely because they can no longer compete with the quality and technology of Chinese cars, and must resort to tariffs and bans instead.
@@cheungchingtong Yangwang is BYD's top-tier brand, with a chassis based on E4 technology, and the price is over a million RMB. It’s five times the price of Avita.
Test-drove it... It does look like an UFO but i wasn't crazy about the interior or the ride. Try to get to review the Cadillac GT4. It's not an EV but it's an only China model...I test-drove it last weekend and the comfort is unmatched for the price (less than 200K RMB) The look is very sporty too! 😎
Would you say the 07 is more composed and perhaps a wee bit more fun to drive than the 11? Those who have test driven the 11 unanimously agree the suspension was way too mushy.
Nio was the first Chinese brand we got to learn about ... and will be the first to be nihilated by the next cohort of Chinese cars Also happy that more excessive speed acceleration no longer is a goal of EVs
This is why Europe and all auto manufacturers are scared and already crumbling. For far too long have auto manufacturers have stayed complacent pumping out low tier cars for massive costs and changing nothing. This is exactly what people said 10 years ago. "Chinese cars are crap". Yeah FOR NOW. Look at where they're now. Hiring all the legacy auto ex designers and techs. Go China 👍 Bring these to Australia!!!!
Who picked Green as the color? Yuck. All else on this vehicle is incredible. Would be good to hear from Wheelsboy on the reliabilty so far of the Avtar brand as it would add heft to this report. Thanks for all your great reviews!
Damnnnnnnn that thing is a beautiful machine. This is why they gotta slap on those tariffs 😂 remember when Britain forced China to buy Opium based on excuses of 'protecting free trade'? 😂
I'd happily have a Chinese car but only if it had a UI that is designed for our European tastes and not their own weird software. The GWM Ora Funky Cat has an awful UI and the BYD's whilst better still aren't up to the expected standard we expect for our tastes in Europe.
Lovely looker. Though this wouldn't sell for twice the price outside China. It's a no name brand outside of China. Keep to bigger, better cheaper if they want to break into western markets.
It all depends on the price. Unfortunately until now Chinese cars are priced at 100% more in the EU than they cost in China, and while this car is very attractive at 35k, nobody will buy it at 70k.
Absolutely not. Designed by Nader Faghihzadeh and his design team in Munich Germany (AVATR Global Design Center). Go check on the website of the brand you will see 😉.

BYD hired a European designer who worked for legacy autos......
Wolfgang Egger. BYD also hired top designers for interior and exterior design.
Well said.
That applies to me too.
Totally agree
How can you say that? You absolutely must consider whether the cars are made in a democratic country!

In terms of sales volume, 7x is winner.

It looks so much more expensive than it is.
looks good

compare to a xpeng g6?
I would say the G6 drives better -- just my feeling from limited experience.
This year there was 57 EV brands at china car show! 50 freaking 7 not to mention those that didn't show up! Similar thing will happen with Robots
I'm quite fond of this one
I'm impressed by Chinese EVs. But it feels like they need years to find out what ones will establish in other countries for the long term.
