AIWAYS U5 - CHEAP EV. IS IT ANY GOOD?

The Aiways U5 was introduced in 2019 to the world by Aiways from China.
The Aiways brand was founded in 2017.
The Aiways U5 is a relatively large family car with good space in the cabin. However, it only has three stars in Euro NCAP, and the car also has no heat pump, which can be seen in the consumption in the video.

God video og god test! Tak for det 😁

Nice video. I have the MY22 Prime model since a couple of weeks. My experience related to consumption is much better: Two weeks ago 300km without charging (mostly highway at 100km/h) and 17kWh/100km according display, started at 99% and 15% SOC left.

Thanks for the inputs.
The car in the video had No heatpump and the climate here in Denmark is pretty cold 😊
Thanks for watching 😊

omg consumtion rolf
if this ar was released 2010 then it going to be just ok 2022 not a car to buy
lest see if there U6 will improve

[@jimirosa]

True

[@haveaseatplease]

The is a more accurate range test, if you are interested, you can find it here: th-cam.com/video/bqAgGWpYY8k/w-d-xo.html

[@bill_heywood]

3 star Euro NCAP is not average, it's rubbish. To be honest unless a car launches with a 5 star rating, it isn't good enough

[@jimirosa]

it is probably a Danish transaktion which is perceived a little incorrectly in English. I am sorry about that. However, the car's cabin is stable in the event of a collision, but it lacks equipment to achieve a better rating

[@bill_heywood]

@@jimirosa don’t worry your English was fine, 3 out of 5 is a mathematically average score. My point was that an average score in NCAP is actually a poor result, basically any new car should get a 5

[@haveaseatplease]

@@bill_heywood Just for your information, the 3 stars are due to under performing pedestrian detection and pedestrian crash avoidance active safety systems, not with the crash safety for the occupants in the car.

[@bill_heywood]

@@haveaseatplease OK, but it's still not good enough

[@tedt7991]

The worst cars i have ever driven, the range is very bad too and quality is horrible

[@jimirosa]

I agree that the range is quite poor. But I actually think that the perceived quality of the car feels high.

Bankrupt

I guess it's not certain yet
