a question, do you travel a lot - like doing business trips, if so do you find its range sufficient and whats the real range you get on a full charge? sorry for bombardment of questions
@@ANBU_EU My wife and I use the E-Tron for city driving and commute to and from work. Realistic range is about 215-220 miles. Great for city not great for traveling, unless you have time. The longest I've travelled with is 160miles. I do have a Tesla adapter, this way I can use their charging stations as well.
HI THOMAS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IS ALMOST INCREDIBLE, BUT I HAVE SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES MORE THAN ONCE LAST TIME WHEN YOU ROAD TESTED THE ALFA ROMEO TONALE WHEN YOU GOT HOLD OF THE LID WHICH COVERS THE COMPARTMENT BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS YOU SHOOK SO ROUGHLY THAT YOU THEN PASSED A NEGATIVE COMMENT THAT IT WAS NOT SO STRONG. wHEN YOU ROAD TEST A GERMAN CAR FOR INSTANCE THE LATEST BMW IN A COMPARATIVE TEST WITH AUDI AND MERCEDES YOU JUST GAVE IT AVERY CAREFUL SHAKE WITHOUT ANY COMMENTS
For me the best one is the ix3 in all.. i saw your reviews and others also.. i habe a model s pef.. its great.. but the ix3 seems to be s game changer in range.. technical side it is also very great
I think sound is an important factor in the total experience, emotion and driver feedback. I think it’s important to be able to switch it on or off. It’s also important for pedestrians in an urban environment.
Recently went on a road trip to Germany in the iX3. Being RWD it was pretty fun to drive and skids in corners were consistent for an EV. But the efficiency was so terrible I ended up paying as much as I would have in a petrol car. Also acceleration was mediocre for an EV compared to other crossovers like the EV6 or Model Y. Top speed was limited to 187 kph or something like that which was very frustrating. Not having access to superchargers and not having automatic routing with chargers and availability was a total pain in the ass. What would have been a 150 min drive in a Tesla ended up being 6 hrs of struggles to find fast chargers that actually work and not in use. Cargo volume was tiny for its class and the 4 of us had trouble playing tetris to fit all our stuff. Self driving worked okay when it decided to turn on, but 50% of the time it refused to turn on. Steering was slow and didn't really feel that fun. Above all, the acceleration was too slow to be anywhere near 'fun' to drive. And the artificial noise.. I drove 2 min, got so annoyed, pulled over, spent 10 minutes digging through menus to switch it off. This review is definitely way too generous to what I felt was total garbage.
Hi, really enjoyed the video. Spec's and finish seem to vary country to country. I am in the UK. I just ordered an EQC as I found it the most comfortable and felt more luxurious compared to the others. Can't say I was impressed with the BMW as the interior design felt a bit old and not what you would expect from a modern electric car but the boot was a better shape for practicality / load carrying. I know not a fair comparison, but I looked at Tesla Model Y rather than the X and was disappointed to find the Y had super hard suspension, fine at low speed city driving but terrible on country rounds and felt every bump hard. I did really like the Audi E-tron and it came out as the cheapest option but was beaten by the Merecedes on comfort in my opinion.
the artificial sound literary depends, if I drive at 4:50 in the morning to the Gym I want to be as quiet as possible to not wake up neighbors. But at the supermarket parking lot I want to have it on so I don't accidentally drive someone over because they don't hear me. makes sense right.
@@autogefuehl also my neighbor has a Volvo hybrid and his artificial sound is super annoying, not only that but you can hear it 2 blocks away at night. they can just make a very quiet mode and a normal mode for the audio.
Thanks for the series of reviews, Thomas. I testdrove a Mercedes EQC and an Audi e-tron just these past 5 days! Although I'm a Mercedes-nerd, I have to say that between the two, I preferred the Audi e-tron, due to better mileage, higher clearance, steering agility and the air suspension (for smooth driving). However, I still like the Mercedes interior feel and comfort much more. About the Audi virtual side view mirrors - I agree with you on that one! It's really the placing than anything else. They would be better placed to the left and right of the dashboard screen. Perhaps where the air vents are now, put the virtual mirrors there and move the vents to somewhere else. Thomas, I have a suggestion for the reviews. It would be beneficial to get a rundon of the extra options of the car you're reviewing, so that one can understand how it impacts your driving experience and hence your reviews. For example, the sound level in the cars, it would be good to know if the acoustic insulation package is part of your car configuration.
Well Thomas, if an animal free Interieur is the only „bummer“ on the iX3, then it´s a clear winner. BTW, you can produce an animal skin Interieur with.a huge amount of sustainable options. Men will always consume animals and therefore there will be plenty of skin available from sustainable managed farms. BMW took this approach on their fist full BEV, the i3 leather comes from sustainable managed farming and is tanned with olive grates oiles - it doesn ´t get much more sustainable then this. For my part, i ´m looking forward to test drive the iX3 when my local dealer can provide one. As always, well done Thomas and the whole team, was really impressed by your reactions during the iX3 driving review :)
As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: th-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/w-d-xo.html In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. Not using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
I sense that the reason BMW’s still have the center tunnel in the car is that they were late to the EV dance (which caused their old CEO his job) and by using current designed vehicles, they can enter the market now. However, I hope they terminate the middle tunnel like most of the good EV companies have done.
BMW got cold feet and decided against offering the bmw ix3 in the US market And I think Mercedes doesn’t offer the ECQ. The only one we get is the Audi and most journalists think it needs better range/performance/efficiency to compete here. I don’t think it’s selling very well
My choice? None of the above! Jaguar I-Pace provides me with 240 miles even in the winter, accelerates quicker than the cars tested apart from a performance X, with the air suspension provides a more compliant and comfortable ride, it’s quieter at just about any speed and the handling is excellent. Latest “quietest car” puts it in the top ten along with Mercedes S and Ghost and, for me, that’s one reason why I went electric.
You really don't need a Hans Zimmer to come up with that sound. If he indeed created it, I'm sure this took him a couple of minutes tops. But probably BMW contacted him and gave him money to use his name. Kinda like those laptopspeakers that have those high end brands on them.
I like what Bmw is doing in that they look like a normal car and you can option out the blue. Shame about no frunk though. Interesting video as always 👍
I own a 2013 X3 and I've been really excited about the introduction of the iX3. But now that I know that it is NOT AWD, that is a total deal breaker for me. I need AWD where I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. Also, thank God that you can turn off the acceleration sounds! Now, if you can turn off the annoying on/off sounds as well... A simple rising/lowering chime would be more than sufficient. Did they really need to pay a well known composer for that sound? This is a new, modern car. Use a new, modern sound.
I think the German auto makers have been asleep at the wheel for too long when it comes to EVs. BMW made a good start with the radical i3, but then dropped their EV development. Making a combustion design into an EV will always be a compromise. Pumping sound into the car is stupid, one of the many advantages of an EV is a quiet cabin! Tesla and the Koreans have a lead in EVs, so German auto makers have a lot to catch up on.
nice reviews and combo! Especially useful feedback on the BMW driving quality. I wish they offered different style wheels - maybe they do/will. These ones look too electric, is that really necessary?
Transparency note: Autogefühl videos are independent and free from editorial influence on opinion and rating. But since manufacturers enable us to do the reviews in the first place, for legal reasons this video is marked as _advertisement_.
Tesla X us best looking outside, most powerful & best range. I think I only fit to Tesla, I am 203cm 6ft8in tall, sadly I am too broke to buy it. So I drive my Edsel ;O)
I mean if you're making a video with the title " which is the best electric SUV" I think it's better for you to include the model X you can actually order even if you don't have one (talking about the plaid model X)
IX3 for me. Tesla needs to do something about build quality and ... I guess I would need to start liking the design of their cars and I'm not there yet. Mercedes needs to offer more than design and comfort and Audi ... well, i just don't like Audi anymore
I think the germans strategy will make sure they will go bankrupt this decade. As a former bmw guy thats sad.. So, a bit to risky for me to buy an inferior german brand. Model x is with one option (fsd) is nice, but i rather go wth the mig model Y: that will be a killer product👍🇳🇴
Model x looks like a mini van. Id go bmw anyday. The tesla looks like basic traffic. Has no luxury. Which is the main thing u want from a suv. Bmw is the best drivers car by a mile it sounds like.
These E-SUvs are useless in my opinion, Less range than a sedan or a wagon because it is less aerodynamic and heavier. Around 2% of X3 buyers might be driving on some rough roads where an regular wagon couldn't go, I'm sure 0.00001% of the E-SUV buyers will drive anywhere further a puddle or muddy suburban driveway.
One thing about not selling in a certain market like the United States stating that there is no market for a car like this is an absolute moot argument. Tesla cannot make their model X fast enough and the Ford Mach E can’t be made fast enough. I think BMW has a really poor reputation here in the US regarding cost of ownership and reliability of their vehicles. You cannot have a market if you don’t give it a chance to grow. This BMW X3 Electric has the range and it doesn’t look like a Dr. Suess car 🚙. I think it would certainly sell well considering the fact that SUV/CUV sales are exploding and domestic manufacturers cannot make long range electric vehicles fast enough.

Tesla Model X may have clearly the best EV technology but it's no match with the others for quality, dealers network, repairability, etc. Anyway I can't afford even a quarter of any of those cars so I'll stay on petrol for now XD.
Looks=1.EQC 2.Audi 3.BMW 4.Tesla Environmental=Tesla only Performance=1.Tesla 2.BMW 3. Audi 4.EQC Build Quality=all 3 Germans only. My personal choice=EQC due to looks, comfort & build quality.
Of course it isn't. A SUV that craps all over supercars the likes of Aventador and can take up to 7 people simultaneously. Lol, you can keep your Germans. There's no running away from the fact that Tesla is at least 5y ahead of anything that VW or Mercedes can offer.
As I may or may not agree with you, Tesla still deserves at least some credit, because none of the other competitors would probably exist. Its different car for different customers than from other OEM, not bad at all...
@@Symbrio in terms of technology and innovation yes. In terms of build quality then no. Even Dacia/Renault have better panel alignment. They have improved massively but they are still not at German standards in terms of build quality. Where Tesla still outperform the others is the Superchargers. I could drive right across the European Union from Ireland to Poland or Czech Republic using Superchargers. They are reliable and they are located in decent locations.

The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: th-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/w-d-xo.html Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex or Desertex or Miriam).

By ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) %. So it is the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette, even in ventilated options. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: th-cam.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/w-d-xo.html More and more natural materials are rising: th-cam.com/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/yG3z7m6UqNg/w-d-xo.html Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
@@autogefuehl Still I want animal leather! Even if I have to pay a premium price for the option. We all know that traveling by foot, land yachting and living like Mongolian nomads are the better ways to save the planet. However not all of us want to leave our confort life. As for spending money into oppression, unless you don't buy goods from world's 80% biggest industries It's nonsense. Animal agriculture take over 2/3 of farmland because it takes less men, effort and time but generates more income (I don't think it's good but I'm not entitled to dictate farmers in their private businesses). Ditching leather makes car interior more eco-friendly maybe, its eco-sustainable but less sustainable than leather, as for the 85% CO2e reduction, I don't know where you get that from. At last, All I've seen on your leatherette video is you writing down with a pen and wiping it off of it. So what makes it superior in every aspect?
You dont lose anything. Just check this out: th-cam.com/video/yG3z7m6UqNg/w-d-xo.html No one could ever tell that these seats are not animal skin. You have same comfort (even better), seat ventilation, same durability - just with less impact on environment, humans and animals. What would be the reason still to cause more harm then?

You've sold me 2 cars in the past on your channel already. Still driving the last one you did 3 years ago and now eyeing the BMW ix3
Love your reviews. Great English speaking with superb German accent. Awesome info and opinions on the cars. I've just ordered an iX3 :-)
cool, congrats :)

Audi e-tron and Model x compare with the EQE SUV and iX
The EQC and iX3 compare with the Q4 e-tron and Model Y
For me the best one is the ix3 in all.. i saw your reviews and others also.. i habe a model s pef.. its great.. but the ix3 seems to be s game changer in range.. technical side it is also very great
Extremely informative reviews.Many thanks from Canada

I think you should do a real comperison video where all the cars are together in the same place.
You should compare Tesla model Y with other e cars. Tesla model X is different league!!

For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex).

Jaguar I-Pace provides me with 240 miles even in the winter, accelerates quicker than the cars tested apart from a performance X, with the air suspension provides a more compliant and comfortable ride, it’s quieter at just about any speed and the handling is excellent. Latest “quietest car” puts it in the top ten along with Mercedes S and Ghost and, for me, that’s one reason why I went electric.
The i Pace should have been included in this EV SUV overview indeed. Still great info though.
The Cadillac Lyriq out classes all of these in multiple ways!
great work... for me ix3😍😍
You really don't need a Hans Zimmer to come up with that sound. If he indeed created it, I'm sure this took him a couple of minutes tops. But probably BMW contacted him and gave him money to use his name. Kinda like those laptopspeakers that have those high end brands on them.
Love the reviews, love your work. This video made me a subscriber! 🫡
Welcome aboard! 😎
LOL I GOT A BMW IX3 commercial before watching this
Ads are based on the video you're watching
Look forward review of iX3 vs Q4 etron vs EQB vs Model Y
Check this out: th-cam.com/video/F-Dk2bXIFXM/w-d-xo.html
BMW ix3 all the way, for me looks and as the report said drives the best , and its efficient....
I like what Bmw is doing in that they look like a normal car and you can option out the blue. Shame about no frunk though. Interesting video as always 👍
Cheers!
I will listened this for sleeping asmr
Audi wins with the exceptional design and futuristic look that should go with electric cars. BMW should have built from I8 tech. Dissapointing
I own a 2013 X3 and I've been really excited about the introduction of the iX3. But now that I know that it is NOT AWD, that is a total deal breaker for me. I need AWD where I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
Also, thank God that you can turn off the acceleration sounds! Now, if you can turn off the annoying on/off sounds as well... A simple rising/lowering chime would be more than sufficient. Did they really need to pay a well known composer for that sound? This is a new, modern car. Use a new, modern sound.
wonderful!
I like the front styling on the iX3 ...it looks way better than the iX5 ... And i think that those wheels look horrible :( great work as allways 👍
que lux por las vistas a mis canciones gracias ........
I think the German auto makers have been asleep at the wheel for too long when it comes to EVs. BMW made a good start with the radical i3, but then dropped their EV development. Making a combustion design into an EV will always be a compromise. Pumping sound into the car is stupid, one of the many advantages of an EV is a quiet cabin! Tesla and the Koreans have a lead in EVs, so German auto makers have a lot to catch up on.
If I really had to choose I’d go whit the e tron
nice reviews and combo! Especially useful feedback on the BMW driving quality. I wish they offered different style wheels - maybe they do/will. These ones look too electric, is that really necessary?
Transparency note: Autogefühl videos are independent and free from editorial influence on opinion and rating. But since manufacturers enable us to do the reviews in the first place, for legal reasons this video is marked as _advertisement_.
Tesla X us best looking outside, most powerful & best range. I think I only fit to Tesla, I am 203cm 6ft8in tall, sadly I am too broke to buy it. So I drive my Edsel ;O)
You need go 👓
I mean if you're making a video with the title " which is the best electric SUV" I think it's better for you to include the model X you can actually order even if you don't have one (talking about the plaid model X)

Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen. 💖 best Cars
you forgot Hyundai
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!!!!!!
If the Tesla Model Y is anything to go by, this is the most significant segment.
how come Jaguar I pace was missing in this comparison?
Because it’s Germans versus Tesla comparison
IX3 for me. Tesla needs to do something about build quality and ... I guess I would need to start liking the design of their cars and I'm not there yet. Mercedes needs to offer more than design and comfort and Audi ... well, i just don't like Audi anymore
Bruh the German motorway stamp of approval cracked me up 🤣🤣
This presenter is hilarious
😎
I think the germans strategy will make sure they will go bankrupt this decade. As a former bmw guy thats sad.. So, a bit to risky for me to buy an inferior german brand.
Model x is with one option (fsd) is nice, but i rather go wth the mig model Y: that will be a killer product👍🇳🇴
I like the tesla model x especially the storage capacity
Nice car
Model x looks like a mini van. Id go bmw anyday. The tesla looks like basic traffic. Has no luxury. Which is the main thing u want from a suv. Bmw is the best drivers car by a mile it sounds like.
iX3 will not be available in the US.
ya thats a pity
@@autogefuehl Totally agree :(
Oh no 😫
we would much rather prefer to know EV SUVs for the average Joe, for those of us that have can not afford those expensive options
No such thing yet
Watch this or Lord of the rings? I'll take this today!
Two x two words for Thomas: lavalier microphone and laser meter.
Nio ET7 is by far the best premium EV.
I prefer the Mercedes best
Where is the I-PACE
here: th-cam.com/video/95gNVoO8HpI/w-d-xo.html
@@autogefuehl thank's!
These E-SUvs are useless in my opinion, Less range than a sedan or a wagon because it is less aerodynamic and heavier. Around 2% of X3 buyers might be driving on some rough roads where an regular wagon couldn't go, I'm sure 0.00001% of the E-SUV buyers will drive anywhere further a puddle or muddy suburban driveway.
One thing about not selling in a certain market like the United States stating that there is no market for a car like this is an absolute moot argument. Tesla cannot make their model X fast enough and the Ford Mach E can’t be made fast enough. I think BMW has a really poor reputation here in the US regarding cost of ownership and reliability of their vehicles. You cannot have a market if you don’t give it a chance to grow. This BMW X3 Electric has the range and it doesn’t look like a Dr. Suess car 🚙. I think it would certainly sell well considering the fact that SUV/CUV sales are exploding and domestic manufacturers cannot make long range electric vehicles fast enough.

Thomas is such a great car reviewer. But the extreme focus on non-animal skin options in EVERY SINGLE review is beyond tiresome.
As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: th-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/w-d-xo.html
In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse?
The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination.
For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter.
Not using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
AUDI ❤️
Blue accents everywhere is ridiculous, we just want normal cars not cars that shout "LOOK IM ELECTRIC IM SO FUTURISTIC LOOK IVE GOT BLUE WOW"
Tesla Model X may have clearly the best EV technology but it's no match with the others for quality, dealers network, repairability, etc. Anyway I can't afford even a quarter of any of those cars so I'll stay on petrol for now XD.

Tesla not my cup of tea
Tesla is on the other hand most irreparable expensive car to repair, mainly is considered totaled when only doors or side panel is to be repaired.
Yet I want it more than these other cars
For single use only.
Looks=1.EQC 2.Audi 3.BMW 4.Tesla
Environmental=Tesla only
Performance=1.Tesla 2.BMW 3. Audi 4.EQC
Build Quality=all 3 Germans only.
My personal choice=EQC due to looks, comfort & build quality.
They built an ankle boot. its as ordinary and boring as any Kia. Just buy the Tesla Y and save yourself the embarrassment.
model x here and my buddy is already a year old 😍😍😍
The most important thing to concern is battery life
Therefore Tesla is absolutely the best of all
No one for me, Because I LIKE KIA.
iX3 is the best. But Audi and Mercedes still ok. Tesla is nothing to care about.
True
Of course it isn't. A SUV that craps all over supercars the likes of Aventador and can take up to 7 people simultaneously.
Lol, you can keep your Germans. There's no running away from the fact that Tesla is at least 5y ahead of anything that VW or Mercedes can offer.
As I may or may not agree with you, Tesla still deserves at least some credit, because none of the other competitors would probably exist.
Its different car for different customers than from other OEM, not bad at all...
@@Symbrio in terms of technology and innovation yes. In terms of build quality then no. Even Dacia/Renault have better panel alignment. They have improved massively but they are still not at German standards in terms of build quality. Where Tesla still outperform the others is the Superchargers. I could drive right across the European Union from Ireland to Poland or Czech Republic using Superchargers. They are reliable and they are located in decent locations.
Audi Q4 E-Tron will sell like hotcakes when it comes out.
Yea probably if you’re looking for something better than the ID4
Give me just animal leather, there is no better
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. Please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: th-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/w-d-xo.html

If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: th-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/w-d-xo.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex or Desertex or Miriam). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. By ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) %. So it is the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable.
In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette, even in ventilated options.
And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: th-cam.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/w-d-xo.html
More and more natural materials are rising: th-cam.com/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/yG3z7m6UqNg/w-d-xo.html

@@autogefuehl Still I want animal leather! Even if I have to pay a premium price for the option.
We all know that traveling by foot, land yachting and living like Mongolian nomads are the better ways to save the planet. However not all of us want to leave our confort life. As for spending money into oppression, unless you don't buy goods from world's 80% biggest industries It's nonsense. Animal agriculture take over 2/3 of farmland because it takes less men, effort and time but generates more income (I don't think it's good but I'm not entitled to dictate farmers in their private businesses).
Ditching leather makes car interior more eco-friendly maybe, its eco-sustainable but less sustainable than leather, as for the 85% CO2e reduction, I don't know where you get that from. At last, All I've seen on your leatherette video is you writing down with a pen and wiping it off of it. So what makes it superior in every aspect?
You dont lose anything. Just check this out:
th-cam.com/video/yG3z7m6UqNg/w-d-xo.html
No one could ever tell that these seats are not animal skin. You have same comfort (even better), seat ventilation, same durability - just with less impact on environment, humans and animals. What would be the reason still to cause more harm then?
The 85%? Check BMW: www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en
Subjective though..the ICE platform keep the front large..technically no crumple zone is just PATHETIC ..why would you buy a BEV with no crumple zone.
This guy's accent is awesome
I would rather gave no sound in the BMW
e tron
teslaaaaaaaa
I’m glad to have Tesla in America!
Where's byd Tang lol
Get American and get a Tesla 👍
