  • Take a mesmerizing tour of Shanghai's French Concession, known for its European charm and architectural splendor. This is no ordinary exploration-two automobile fanatics lead a fascinating car spotting excursion. With its charming alleys and lively boulevards, the French Concession is ideal for this unique journey.
    Shanghai's hidden gems, from the exquisite Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked by the sidewalk to the ingenious Xpeng G3, a tribute to China's electric vehicle expertise, emerge as the voyage continues. Xpeng G3, with its lidar sensor, combines utility and modern style to let travelers easily film their voyage with a 360-degree camera.
    Shanghai has a broad and active automotive culture, including Maserati and Aston Martin and cutting-edge electric automobiles like the Buick Velite 6, which is not sold in the US. This inquiry is about the automobiles and their tales, from the resurrection of British names like MG to Buick's makeover to meet China's electric vehicle demand.
    The Lynk & Co 03+, a Chinese automotive icon of athletic elegance, is a highlight of this trip. Its distinctive style and tremendous performance contradict Chinese automobile preconceptions, revealing the country's changing car culture. The streets reflect China's diversity, from the inexpensive Wuling Hongguang Mini EV to the opulent Hongqi H9, the "Chinese Rolls-Royce."
    As they explore, the fans discover the MG brand, revived under Chinese ownership, and the Denza, a Mercedes-Benz-BYD collaboration that foreshadows electric mobility. From the small Buick Velite 6 to the grand Hongqi H9, each vehicle on this voyage offers a tale of invention, legacy, and the Chinese automotive industry's global significance.
    Join us on this thrilling tour of Shanghai's French Concession, where the past and future collide and every corner holds a fresh discovery. This trip celebrates automotive culture, design, and progress, not just vehicle spotting. Stay tuned as we explore Shanghai's beauty, power, and innovation to capture its dream-like pace.
    What does a typical day in Shanghai say about the Chinese car scene?

    Fun experience of mine: I used to see myself as an 'expert' about cars because I could recognize 99% of the car on the street when I was high school student in China. Then I
    watched this video. Now after studying several years of engineering abroad, I can recognize less than 60% cars in Shanghai, which is worse than most people, LOL

But I'm buying a car in China and have found an M6 Haval 2020 model for a reasonable price, would you consider this car to have a bigger boot if you have experience compared to your H6, I'd like to hope they are similar if not the same size.

    The number plate in Shanghai is very expensive and now very hard to get, if you get an electric car they give you the number plate, the green tinge plates are electric cars. My pet hate is the matt spray paint, its so cheap to spray a car in China, they get them re sprayed in crazy colours, but the matt is like dishonoring the car, its like undercoat, YUCK! You see heaps of that in Shanghai, too much money!

    Ive had my license about 8 years, have a Highlander, love it. Great for driving around Shanghai and out to the factories, I have to drive about 6hrs in different directions, its been so reliable, and safe driving amongst all the trucks. Just a reminder, your first license is for about 6 years, they don't send out reminders, if you miss renewing it and get pulled over, its a big drama, not a small error like back home, big fines and possibly detention, so make sure you pay attention to your license renewal date :)
