The Europeans and Japanese slept on their Laurels while the Chinese worked around the clock to sneak up behind them and bring them down. This is no longer a running joke about Chinese quality. This real so pay attention. The new King Off Road is here.
I came from a city in China which manufacturing a variety of exporting products, an uncle of mine owns a company manufactures tractors, he once told me back in the 2000s some Europeans would came and bought his tractors, and asked specifically to blur the Made-in-China label, so they would import those back to Europe, later he found out a Swiss actually shipped the tractors to Greece, then loaded them up and transported to Switzerland, did a little decoration and put a Swiss-Designed label on those, and sold those things at a 25 times price. And same happening to Armani nowadays, they now put most of their manufacturing lines in China, and stop labeling Made-in-Italy, but Designed-in-Italy, and hide the Made-in-China ones in where you could most impossibly find. Most of Chinese made products, the quality of them haven't been a problem since 2000s, the only problem is the importers in your country, like Walmart in the US, they come to China, ask for the lowest prices they could get, even though the factories have told them that at that cost products won't be good, but they couldn't care less about that, all they are thinking about, is how to sell you a product for $100 back home, which they bought it in China for $3-5, that for $3 you wouldn't consider it as bad quality, but for $100 you definitely would.
very well said. It's hard for me to consider Japanese sedans or European ones when I saw BYD Seal for example. From every consideration, BYD Seal is just worth more for the dollar.
@@jonarudy yap....the problem is greedy western importers. its a very common practice that western importers mark up their chinese imports 50 - 100 times. then sell them to western consumers. i.e. western brand name eyeglass & sunglass selling 300, 400, 500 usd per pair are pretty much all made/designed in one small chinese town - danyang. their original price out of chinese OEM/ODM manufacture are 3, 4, 5 usd per pair. western brand companies just put their logo on it. mark up 100 times and sell it to you.
all those companies you mentioned for each EV they made, they're losing money..... that's why they say EV is no good.... becoz it's no good to their bottomline
Only until you have an electrical/hydraulic issue, then it stops. It looks to be put together pretty well, but like the new Land Rover, you don’t see many outside of cities due to how complex they are.
Very cool and kudos to the Chinese for taking up the challenge and executing on it. Though, 3500kg would mean in the EU ppl would need a truck drivers license to use it. So, a lighter version; say 2200 kg max, would be more suitable and reach a larger audience. I view the current version more as a halo-car. A technical and engineering exercise and as tour-de-force.
it's more about reliability, parts availability, customer service, and tariffs. Not to mention whether you want to support the CCP or countries that value freedom.
@@thomashoppes8594 I'm sorry, the freedom CCP you mentioned also exists, but your media told you it didn't. In fact, Chinese people have more freedom, such as the freedom of single women to walk at midnight!
@@thomashoppes8594 its funny that you think you have freedom in your Western country lol. It's also funny that you clearly know nothing about China. They're doing better than everyone else because of their competent government.
"仰望" in Chinese means looking upward or showing respect for someone. the interior of this car is too old school. However, its buyers, those rich daddies, love it very much. Of course, it can even floating on water like a boat. What's more importantly, this vehicle showcases BYD's e4 platform, with four motors precisely controlling the rotation speed and steering of each wheel which completely subvert the traditional 4x4 model of gasoline vehicles.
Absolutely an incredible car. Like luxury European cars, it would be incredibly expensive to own. Maybe even a breakdown could be the end. I mean, who would fix it? The BYD shark should build a true support network for potential owners. It’s ok to manufacture brilliant cars, it’s another thing to bring a car to market that is fully supported to ensure buyer confidence.
They have 6 year/150k full dealer warranty. They must be very confident with their reliability. Last time I checked, 3-year warranty is a common practice among the European brands.
That's an amazing car and would be very popular here - at an appropriate price point, not that inflated figure they gave. What this does show us is just how serious the Chinese auto makers are, and the threat they pose to the global incumbents who have been relying way too long on their reputations while providing mediocre products, and often worse service. I'm old enough to remember when everyone made fun of Japanese cars when they first came to Australia - but over 10-20 years they start to dominate. Then it was the cheap Korean brands in the 1980s - which were crap - - but look at them over the past 10 years. People are now starting to accept products like the Tank300/500, GM ZS, and BYD as new mainstream market cars. As these makers sort out and fine tune the vehicles sold in Australia and their reputation grows, sales will boom. Toyota, Ford & Nissan will always keep selling their top products, but a high portion of potential buyers will seriously consider whether its worth paying an extra $20-$30k for something that gives a lot more value.....but the longterm perception of quality/reliability will develop over time. I don't think anyone at Ford or Nissan can assume buyers will choose them instead. Even the new Toyota Prado could see its sales impacted over time.
U8 just put an additional standard feature to the Full Size Luxury SUV - emergency floating function which can assist the driver to get back to the dry place.
What you (and almost every reviewer) failed to demonstrate is the controllability of the 4 independent motors: the car can automatically maintain stability with a burst tyre, by adjusting the torque of 4 wheels. A Chinese car owner has uploaded a video of his car blowing a tyre at 120km/h. Despite the warning sound, there was no sign of loss of control and the driver almost ignored the warning.
China is so advance. I really want the sealion 6 but i just saw they just changed the rear multi link in china to be beefier on the refresh. I'd wait for that before i get the sealion 6 with the snapping multi link issue they have in China still occuring with the old batches of sealion 6
I am not sure if they will ever take this overseas but this will do well if they take it globally(minus US). Rugged and luxurious is a rare combo that would work anywhere among thee rich folks.
I'll definitely want to have one sometime during the next couple of years. Looks elegant in black, but even better with wheels finished in metallic gray to match the body trim.
Not only the top Westerns elites should go invest in China but they should try to learn from them and encourage education in west as it was a 100 years ago
Very Trumpesque. As classy as a solid gold toilet or an orange spray tan. No doubt it comes standard with personalised number plates. It'll sell like hotcakes in certainly communities!
Bit tacky in some areas like interior styling and those lidar humps ruin the looks (And make it look like a taxi) BUT Wow the speed at which the chinese are building new vehicles and how fast each generation comes out is amazing. So is how fast each new generation is improving quality.
