I live in Dubai and am seeing more and more Chinese cars. Here. They are usually the top end ones and are mostly seen in posh neighborhoods. Some are really gorgeous
jus saying,,, this channel doesn't get nearly enough views considering the implications of the cars reviewed here... this is the equivalent of a high horsepower muscle car at blue collar prices... maybe the cars are 'chinese only' but those motors are they also trapped behind import tarrifs
What I love about this is that it shows how Chinese manufacturers are starting to HAVE FUN with the possibilities of an electric car. What a time to be alive
Another awesome review! If only many in the west knew what is coming their way. Looks very premium (round steering wheel with more feedback would be welcomed) 😁
How can they make such a high-performing car at that price, would love a little bit more muscular design for power like this, a marriage between the Dodge Charger and this ;) Elliot great video :)
Thanks for the video Elliot. For the issue of adjusting the wing mirrors, did you try voice activation to help find it in the menu? I agree with you that this car exhibits many signs of a non-legacy automaker in not knowing what drivers want; "numbing the driving experience" as you so nicely put it but at the same time providing a glimpse of what's to come. Hope this channel grows.
Finally an EV with amazing performance, long range, great tech and a very high max. speed (which is great to have in Germany). I hope this one will make it to Europe
Tariffs in certain or majority of European countries will keep most new china dragon spawned cars at lower sale levels . While the European makers will be trying to offer their product with tempting offers , either interest rate , extras , extended warranty ect ect. Mad mad hp and ladies will be impressed with steering wheel as it looks very similar to a small hand bag lol
Why would EU tariffs affect MG's growth in the UK, Oceania, SE Asia, Latin America and many many other markets? As for the EU market itself, the Germans are already making noise to keep the tariffs from going too high lest it sparks a trade war with China, where German Auto is heavily invested in.
@@tren133 The UK like the EU, and unlike the other regions you listed, has it's own domestic brands too and allowing the free flood will damage them as well. German brands can and will cry and maybe the EU does reduce the tariffs a bit (especially as negotiations were announced) but they will still be substantial increases because the EU will protect its market first and this, at best, will make the Chinese cars barely competitive in price to domestic products. The CCP will have to move their factories to Europe if they want to sell their cars, just like Western auto makers have a lot of production in China. Chinese brands are either already doing it or considering it, but it will probably be part of the negotiations.
Looks very similar to the Xiaomi SU7 to me. Performance is crazy! Looks comfortable and luxurious too. Only thing I'm not keen on is the steering wheel
Update on your ssc sc01 ev 2dr coupe order? And when will you be testing the zeekr 007 perf? A New tesla m3p? The zeekr 001 fr? The gac aion hyper ssr? Byd yangwang u9?
Really good info from the videos you make. Really informative. I think if you put Wider&Larger diameter Tyres/Tires it would look awesome( and yes I do know someone is going to point out…efficiency rating will fall due to rolling resistance). The excess space, could also be for the braking feature…as the back of the vehicle may drop first when the brakes are applied. The color of the car would also help with the look. In terms of the manufacturer trying to fit into a segment….for us standard consumers…this car has a lot that we want, without the eye-watering, sky high prices. My only concern with all the screens(regardless of manufacturer)…is the cost to replace/fix. Or even get a replacement in years to come. One thing that should ALWAYS be a physical button…the Hazard/Emergency Button. With all the tech…since these are basically computers in a “moving case” with a truck as the PSU is a different form factor🤣🤣🤣….they should allow you to change the language settings. AND… Allow you to move information around and “lock it in place”(think of your smart phone…moving a widget)…so you can manually configure your settings/layout…password protect it, so no one can change your preferences…but they are allowed to copy your layout and make their own changes. So they don’t have to go through the entire setup process. This would also aid with the “Physical Buttons” issue, to a degree….as we can lock our most used buttons to the base or side of the screen(think MS Windows/Linux(with GUI)/Mac OS) task bar…without the auto hide function enabled. I like the fact that the ceiling in the back seat had enough height(a “Jack test” is always good to have😂😂😂😂). As for the feedback for the steering…they can always do an Over-The-Air Update. And please….change the sound that the editors use, when they move from one segment to the other…the first time I heard it, I thought you got into an Accident(sounds like a mini bumper hit or door slam).
Listening to your use of rather enthusiastic descriptive language made me smile Elliot, until I remembered that you are an architect by training and it's just your artistic flair coming to the fore. Who knew? Architecture and automotive industries collide....😅😊
Surprisingly the front end of the car looks best. Bit of Porsche/tesla vibe. Better executed than both, but feel could use a touch more “classic euro vibe”
No wonder the west want to raise import duty on cars from china as they can't compete for the same money, if this was an Audi it would cost close to 100k. Off course if every company involved in the manufacturing process paid their workers around £4ph in the west and the land to build the factories and tariffs and taxes the government charges was similar to china then things would be different. (I just threw in that figure but you get the point). Amazing car and also the Hyundai Ioniq 5N.
Standard tactic to brag endlessly about affordable Chinese evs. Without mentioning average ft Chinese salaries or export pricing! 😀 Example tesla China worker makes 13-15k and that's about 20% more than the industry standard over there. Cheapest mic tesla? Is the 32k model 3 sr. Shanghai per capita is as expensive as ny to live in. So something like a basic tiny little city car sub compact ev for 8-10k which is a stretch for a tesla Chinese worker. Here in America an average tesla line worker makes 53-55k and the m3 base is 38k or less in inventory, without any tax credits or ev incentives! Hmm I know which one I'd choose as affordable&it ain't China! 😎
I think that its flawed in some areas - driving dynamics would be one, and material quality compared to the SU7. You can see where they cut corners in places.
Ludicrously pricey ICE (albeit with equally ludicrous horsepower figure) vs this is beginning to look a lot like hopelessly weak Qing-dynasty Chinese Navy vs vastly more modern British Royal Navy 😂.
Wait, do you like this car or hate it? For the first 14 minutes you trashed it, and then in the last minute you said it's amazing. What's so amazing about it? I have no idea based on the video I just watched, and I'm genuinely confused. It's like you wrote an essay, and then in the summary you wrote about a different car entirely. What do you actually like about this car?
Id love for this to come to the uk but the fact audi are endorsing it and now in partnership theyll make sure it doesnt effect their sales in the eu and will definetly hamper its performance if its stepping on the rs etron and taycan turbos toes at a fifth of the cost
Charging ports have their own water protection system and water and charging ports hasn't been an issue for least a decade that includes Chinese mopads. I reckon you're stuck in the past
See Elon has held back for years and had crazy margins. Like new 3 should be 800hp mid 9 qtr mile true 400 mile range sub 700 nurburgring times. Now China is pushing him
Besides... Who wants a car that's gonna tell on you every time you accelerate to your insurance provider? 787hp.. 1200hp... 3000hp. it doesn't matter. you're only allowed to do 55mph or else your car will report your data. So it's useless.
I don’t understand what these reviewers mean when they say the car has no spirit, wtf 😳 of course it hasn’t, specially being an electric car, when the car has all they say it should be toned down, but when it lacks something they say it should have, dam, weird ass review opinions
Chinese EVs makes american ICE muscle cars and Europe supercars so obsolete like analog TVs compared with hd digital TV. The writing is on the wall. I my next car will be a Chinese EV/PHEV.
That's the most bland looking car I've ever seen! I could care less about how fast it is, it's quality is going to suck! Actually, I hope it turns out to be a decent automobile, but I have huge doubts?
EVs at it again with meaningless amounts of straight line speed and nothing to speak of for sustained twisty roads and other sports car activities.. you're buying a train.
Note the the editor. That loud scene transition whoosh sound detracts from the listening enjoyment of the video. There are so many curvy powerful sedans in China now. None of them really stand out that much from the pack. This is just another one to add to the list. Just a powerful custard blob.

I tested drive this car last month. The race mode was totally insane. I felt my soul was left behind.
hahaha - exactly this!
787 HP and 4 wheel steering for 39,000 dollars I will buy one tomorrow
price in China probably
I was in Shanghai for work in April and the automotive industry is amazing. IM, BYD, XPENG.... amazing!
I live in Dubai and am seeing more and more Chinese cars. Here. They are usually the top end ones and are mostly seen in posh neighborhoods. Some are really gorgeous
the future is moving FAST

0 to 100 in 2.74 seconds!
faster than model 3 performance with lower price.
What I love about this is that it shows how Chinese manufacturers are starting to HAVE FUN with the possibilities of an electric car. What a time to be alive
very detailed review! good job! I really enjoyed!

You need to see the screen on the Geely galaxy!
They WERE expanding, MGs are about to get yeeted from the market with these new tariffs

Im really impressed by how Chinese cars became more attractive than European in Japanese cars
Some of these cars are really aspirational

How were the Self-driving features?
Please tell us more about driver's assist & Autopilot-like features in these reviews!
Looks pretty good 0:50
Can these manufacturers make any money on each unit without Chinese government subsidies?
This is made by SAIC, the largest state owned car company in china
MG was I believe had Mazda help build most of htier cars! this is CRAZY price for that performance
bruh 780 hp for 39k??? ill take 2
Audi, using this platform will have fun on the autobahns of Germany😂
For sure...!
You're being willfully misleading with the price. That's the price in China, it almost doubles in other countries without the new tarifs.

How do you think does the L6 compare to the SU7 Max or the (Zeekr) 007?
I think that its flawed in some areas - driving dynamics would be one, and material quality compared to the SU7. You can see where they cut corners in places.
@@electricelliotrichards thx Elliott! Never thought the SU7 Max has higher material quality
Can't we just have a regular steering wheel?
