I don't understand the fascination with frunks, especially for a larger SUV that has plenty of space in the back. I prefer what VW did with ID.4 with a short hood, no frunk, and apply the length to make the cabin a bit larger instead.
That was my attitude too until we did a 9 hour road trip last spring. We packed so much in the back of our Tesla model S that I could barely see the back window. Then we remembered the frunk, and voila...happy drive.
you should do more review of these chinese ev cars, i saw a couple of them and they are looking very nice. I really like the look of this car even tho the drag coefficient compares to a 18wheeler
Even if you hide the name of the car, I still would guess that the car is chinese thanks to that huge grille....apperently the chinese love these things more than the germans do.
ruined by the big unnecessary shifting lever smack down the middle. Some old fart got their "input" pushed through the design. Pointless big stick that you barely use at all, taking up much space and costing a lot. Where instead you could have nice smartphone or cup holders. And you cant sleep in it if the second row doesnt fold, 144cm not enough :)
We laughed at Japanese cars when they started to export them but we laugh no more, , we laughed at Koreans cars but laugh no more but when the Chinese cars come we will no longer laugh.
@Szymon, I work for the investment banking industry and I am still not comfortable buying anything on wheels at 50k+, so are you a billionaire yourself? Because if not you are pretty much isolated from the rich man's circle too, as such all your "understanding " of expensive taste is all just your own imagination, no? Yes? If We're only grass root wage earners, then there is no need to be extra snobby, agree?

If a Chinese producer would build a bauhaus style car with low cw and the quality they do here at say 25000 Eur, they could roam the market.

Why, I would never buy crap like this. It is Chinese you can expect same quality as your mobile phone, breaks within two year. Can't be fixed, can't find parts.
It looks like a turd on wheels from the front. You can tell everything about it looks amazing to your nan and when you try and use it it'll be like one of those fake iphones. Still if it encourages people to go EV then let it be.
@@bjornnyland Let's not forget that labor in China is still a lot cheaper than in Europe. And while some parts of German cars are manufactured in China, most of them are sources more locally by people who get paid a lot more and work shorter work days. That drives up the cost of parts a lot. The exact same car built with the exact same methods (and the same goes for all its parts) will therefore always be more expensive when built in Europe compared to China until the point that China catches up with Europe on wages and work time.
@@bjornnyland Honqqi is owned by Chinese government that use Uighur as SLAVES just like other companies like VW,Apple,BMW etc. which might explain why they can produce cheap goods.
Its not that prototypish. They have started receiving reservations, an customers in Norway will receive cars in approximately 3 months (more than 500 have ordered).
The front and rear treatment reminds me of Transformers or Japanese Mecha animes when they are powering up, especially when the LED sequence are on.
You know we were growing up with those, so... Why not?! Lol
The frunk is actually made in Norway. We apparently love frunks here, so the importer asked Hongqi for permission to install one.
Norwegians, please make frunks for BMWs too.
I think it looks really good. Fun to see new brands on the roads.
