The pace of car release is mind-boggling and the Chinese don't rest on their laurels, they are actually accelerating! By the perceived quality and rang of car bodies, Zeekr is probably the most interesting Geely brand.
I'm a huge fan of Zeekr, their style and the things they put in their cars, really nice stuff. And you're right, it just doesn't stop here in China, it's never ending product after product, hit after hit. It's hard to keep up.
Perhaps due to price factors and chaotic product management (you can buy the 2023, 2024 and 2025 models of Zeekr 007 at the same time this year😂), Zeekr is not selling well in China.
Nice, I live in Shanghai and am buying a 7X full option, it's a steal really, and having the option to completely black it out in that obsidian black is just awesome. I had a test drive today, since it's basically the same platform as the Polestar 4 (but a better implementation IMO), I have zero regrets 🙂
If Chinese are are this good and so affordable. 32k USD for this? A BMW X5 starts at 90k USD. Chinese we literally changed the automotive landscape as the big giant legacy makers are sleep walking off a cliff
Leagues above Mercedes and BMW! It’s basically a luxury robot that can go off-road. Really impressive. China are the fastest moving technology innovators in the world.
LOVE the way all the inside storage has covers, so you can make the appearance clean. Should be compulsory in every luxury car. Great job 7X. Nothing worse than exposed drink holders when not in use
G'day Mark, this is my 1st ever comment on any YT channel! I wanted to compliment you on your reviews & the motorshow walk throughs. A1. I'm in Aust & eventually going to get myself an EV if I could stop procrastinating when something better comes out every few weeks!
Haha, I know your feeling mate. Really glad you enjoyed the video enough to comment. Thanks a lot. I do enjoy making these ones, there's always a lot to see. Look forward to hearing what you eventually go for.
@@johnsmith-cw3wo That's not easy. They crush them on ability already, but Tesla has the trust of the supercharger network. People don't realise the Chinese make better cars with more tech for less money and that their charging network is so good even without a Tesla.
I do my best. It's probably because I have a real background in automotive journalism so I'm not caught in this 'keep everything under 10 minutes' trend. I believe people have an attention span.
Previous models of Zeekr were to me a little weird, I didn't like them, but this one is carefully designed all around, nothing is weird, has basically all that is needed. Looks good 👍
@@InsideChinaAuto Let's see the final price that we, Europeans, have to pay for such great vehicles when they are offered over here... 😅😅😅 It must be difficult for you to choose between so many incredible cars one when it's time to buy a new one... May I ask which would the finalists at this moment? 😉
@deltajohnny Personally would love an AVATR 12, wife wants a Li Auto L8, but I'm pretty sure we're going to settle on a Zeekr MIX when it comes out because it's ideal for our family.
@@InsideChinaAuto Great choices!!! 😍😍😍😍 You are really fortunate having so many possibililies to choose from! About the Zeekr MIX, I didn't know about it. I have searched it and.. I'm in LOVE!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 It looks incredible, futuristic and hiper useful 😁😁 I look forward for you to test it in your channel, and I'm sure that it will be a great success 👏👏👏
Since Zeekr X starts from A$60K before on-road costs, I think 7X will start from at least A$65K what is not cheap for an unknown Chinese brand in Australia.
Wow, power sunshades, instrument cluster and some physical controls makes me like this one a lot. It would have been nice to see the 001 Sports seats in this one. The interior space is really nice, rear seats like an ICE car with good thigh support. I like the motor setup on the rear, would have been good if Polestar used this on the Polestar 3 and 4, not sure why a "performance" brand didn't make their RWD car have a higher output motor. The air suspension version reminds me of my Audi etron, good height adjustment for offroad use and it seems like it should go lower for sport mode. This looks like a winner for Zeekr, something that most people are comfortable with, no loss of seating comfort due to raised floor, seems designed around passenger use. Great review. Will they have a track driving session for this vehicle? Would love to see how it performs there. Thanks for another great video.
I'll certainly let you know if they let me loose on a circuit with this one but we'll see. It's a lovely car this. I think they've nailed pretty much every element of it.
@@InsideChinaAuto Seems like a good car overall, with the power ans suspension setup, should be a fun ride when you want to push it a bit. Too bad the seats didn't have better side bolsters. Looking forward to see it in action on a track.
Great video and very indepth. I'm keen to learn more about their approach to the ownership experience in China. To understand how that might be different from traditional legacy brands
I'm not really sure the difference is so much to be honest. What parts of the service are you particularly interested in? I think in general they're like any other car maker but they offer benefits and their own charging network to enable the full charging experience at least.
@@InsideChinaAuto Maybe it's more a commentary about Chinese automakers vs the Western/legacy brands. I understand (loosely, as it was a while ago I heard this) that these new automakers place greater emphasis on a positive ownership experience than we might be used to. For example, coffee shops, kids play areas and merch stores that are not usually part of the traditional dealership experience. Kinda like what Tesla did a few years ago. Whereas I just get my car serviced at my local shop, nothing fancy. Nothing missed if I get it sorted out elsewhere.
@@taidewet7070 Ah I understand. Well yes, many brands now have these lounges where you can get lovely coffees, sometimes unique to that store, with rest areas and kiddie areas and books to read or tables to go work. NIO is the obvious one but I believe other brands have some. Not 100% certain if Zeekr do yet, I'll have to check that out.
Wow ,Mark you're really kicking them out the park at the moment with Zeekr's new baby , love the area where you're driving around is that the same where you was driving the Avatyr 12 ? Love those tall unusual buildings too Anyway I better not praise you too much, tell them Australia wants to 007 cos I like sedans or maybe the small crossover like the Zeeky X.. Regards John
Hi John. This one was filmed in Guangdong province in the mountains, so not the same area as the AVATR 12 video but they're neighbour provinces pretty much. We'll see if 007 comes. I do know a 007 wagon is coming and that will come to Australia so if if you like those you'll enjoy what's coming I'm sure. Zeekr X is now available in Oz so you can start there if you're super keen. Go try one at a dealer, you'll love it.
@@BEARBEARRRRR Let's see. I'm hopeful it won't be quite so expensive. Somebody suggested a 35% hike over Chinese prices which would make it very competitive.
Great review and beautiful car. Personal opinion. I personally would prefer it without the Stargate front, looks tacky, just plain black would look so much better, or a black chrome for the more premium models.
I was in Minsk Belarus for the last couple weeks and saw my first Zeekr 7x and it really stood out, as a polished car, with a great paint appearance. The owner came out of the bank I was heading to and he noticed my close inspection of his car and encouraged me to open the door and sit in it. The feel and even smell of the car was really impressive. Since moving to St Petersburg Russia from my native California and being a former collector and restorer of older Italian GTs, at the peak had 36 restored 1950s-1976 Maserati, and various more utilitarian cars/trucks for the ranch. After moving from California where a car for each adult in the family was essential to live, and moving to a beautiful elegant city of St Petersburg with excellent public transportation and great subway system, I never got another car. I have been partial to Tesla after being a very modest early investor when the stock was $6.58/before the steep run up. I liked the idea and tech but still not so sure a personal car would have any benefit to my life in the city center of a stunning safe fascinating city my total cost of transportation every month for a very active social and cultural lifestyle is less than $50 including taxis when having a date. The first time however I started thinking about getting a car was 4 days ago when I got a 6 minute ride in the Zeekr. Every aspect of the ride and interior and quality of the paint and trim was impressive. That is high on my list of options if I get any car. It even smelled luxurious. It should scare the hell out of German brands. The only problem with the Chinese options is the extreme speed they create new models and are no following a model year system so every day something interesting appears. The prices here, with the close ties between China and Russia will be rather attractive. A girlfriend got new compact SUV from Geely last year and for price and build/features it is an impressive affordable small SUV. I just do not see the same build and feature sets from Japanese, US, or European brands. The rate of innovation from China is far faster than other traditional car brands. The rise in build quality has been particularly impressive. That Zeekr I rode in was certainly more polished than any Mercedes Jag, or US brand.. The speed of innovation and refinement is far faster than the design cycles of any legacy brand.
It's the new way of the world it seems. I watched as Mercedes standards and feel dropped considerably in just the 8 years I was with them and now their EVs are just awful. Gaudy, terrible software, look like bars of soap. They seem afraid of their own shadow now.
Lmao, i live in St. PETERSBURG and this city has an awful public transportation system many parts of city has no metro station at all and we only listened to promise to build ones for decades😂😂 now buing new car in Russia is a dream, i work in it sector and i have any idea how to buy zeekr which costs more than my 2 year income
Thanks for the detailed review. Ideal car for everyday use which is imbued with so many creature comforts. Hopefully, this will be available where I live at a reasonable price.
Great video as always. Car looks awesome, have you got to test NZP yet? If so, curious about your thought vs the prior Mobileye system and compared to competitors like Xpeng and Huawei's systems.
Really keen to buy this when it comes to Australia. Looking at how the 001 is now version 3, I think I'll wait a bit to see what improvements they make for the next version
Well, thank you for the work you put in here and happy Sunday to you. Must say, I kind of feel lost sometimes. Every time I tried to decide, what my possible next or rather first electric vehicle is going to be, some other video of some overall better or at least equal car is being introduced. Of course, not everything is coming to Europe or the US, but the fact these vehicles exist on some markets, makes the old car industry wobble. I understand why the US imposed a very high import tax on Chinese electric vehicles. They want to protect their own, which I totally understand. The sad part of it all is, they must have known what was coming. Cars these days on that scale dont just show up out of thin air. It is a long development cycle. Suppliers are put on notice, designers and technicians are being hired, factories are set up, etc. What makes me really mad is that the entire industry knew what was coming, yet they did little to nothing to countermeasure. Look at VW, trying to fire thousands of workers. Why, because they for the large part, ignored the market. Now they are running to the government asking for help to lay off 20 k people. And they will get it, that's what governments are for. But the ignorance of higher management is what I'm made about. Why did VW chose to bring less than mediocre EVs onto the market, when they could have done soooo much better. I don't know. Anyways, I hope when I get back to the US in a few weeks time, there will be some EVs to buy for under 100k.
It's tough trying to decide isn't it? Imagine living in China with the choice we have here. It's so difficult. But in the States you've got very little, and very little that's affordable. That may change over time but without the intense competition that's going on in China, it'll forever be a catch up game and I'm just not sure Europe or the States have the stomach for it.
I’ordered the sealion 7, and after watching your video I’m having second thoughts, any chance you’ve tested the sealion 7 and provide some comparisons?
Personally, I'd be going for the 7X. Feels more premium, it's a bigger car overall, more spacious, and much more classy inside. Better batteries and charging too, and better to drive. The Sealion 7 is a nice car, certainly not a bad one, but it's not quite the same category as a 7X and it's much more softly sprung, at least here in China. The 7X drives much better and feels like a car from a class and size above, which it is.
I’m in if they arrive in Australia prepared. Xpeng has turned up and three months later still no tow hitch. So they missed the boat with me. I will await to see if Zeekr can get things sorted better.
Just took an X for a test drive in Australia and I liked it. However too much was removed from the car for between 64k and 72k. Feels like rather than improving the market here all they have done is meet the competition and kept the negative parts of the car. I'd might buy one but it will need to come down in price or add back some of the items they removed.
They told us that some of the cool stuff they're testing first on the Chinese market first, making sure it all works well, then they'll roll out to other places later. However some of the things you simply can't have in Australia because your rules on cars are super strict and not keeping up with the development of new models.
Excellent Review. I have looked at the car in Dongguan. Questions? What is the noise level in dB in the car, front seat, back seat? The audio system, Blue Tool or Jack Headphones in or ports? so as not distract the driver. Can I get 4 full sets of Golf Clubs the boot? What are the self-driving capabilities? It has Lidar, I believe the X does not have Lidar. Enjoyed your Video. My understanding is the ZEEKR is the high lever of car for Geely. I was leaning to buy the ZEEKR X, but the one I was in did not have Lidar. Maybe they will add it to the line.
Thanks for the questions. I'll try to answer as well as I can. Noise levels: Don't know as I don't have that equipment but it wasn't ever loud. Sound: Bluetooth headphones may well be possible, I've never really thought of that on a car without loads of screens. No modern car has jack cable sockets though that I'm aware of. Golf clubs: I'm going to say yes. Can't prove it but it's plenty big enough so I see no reason why not. 616 litres I think I said in the video. Lidar: standard on all variants of 7X and will have access to NZP by the end of the month, so autonomous city and highway driving. Haven't tested it yet but I will when I get chance. Not sure if that's subscription or one-time payment or included for free.
@@InsideChinaAuto Very good. I can take a golf driver to check myself. My other Chinese SUV's had 1 Bluetooth connection. So possible for at least one person in the SUV to hear the music. Today most people like their own music anyway. I was thinking more about movies. Do they have a spare tire now? I really wanted the ZEEKR X, but no Lidar on the roof. So I don't think it has good self-driving capability. It's just me and the wife here in China. So don't need a big car. I was driving a Porsche Cayenne Hybrid. But got rid of it as she did not want to drive such a big SUV. The 7X is a little bigger than I wanted but should be OK. I will check them again. Thanks for your help.
From what I can see, there are 7 airbags, so should be two front, two curtain bags, a centre airbag, and side airbags for the front two seats. They also use submarine-grade steel on the sides and tested it for a rear end crash with a truck followed by a side impact with a truck immediately after and all the doors could still open. They also have a built in emergency cord under the armrests that can shatter the glass in the event of falling into water. They were very big on safety during the launch video but didn't tell us everything in advance to save some bits.
@@InsideChinaAuto Thank you! So many people are under the impression that the reason Chinese vehicles are cheap is because they cut corners on the safety equipment so it is nice to hear that is not the case!
@@stargazer3828 They've even developed a baby seat for this one with the world's first integrated airbag. We didn't see that on the launch event so I was only able to take a stab at what it would be in the video but turns out there's even more to it. Modern full-size Chinese cars definitely don't skimp on safety. Just look at their EuroNCAP scores and standard safety kit lists. It's outrageous.
Just checked the price for a Zeekr X long range here in Sweden, its 544,000 sek, meaning 46000 Eur, so still quite pricey imo .. Note: could not find any pricing on the 7X yet.
Out of all the cars coming from China this is the one that I am more interested in, love the looks and the new battery power that's becoming available. in a Merc EQC at the moment so i like SUV style vehicles but as already mentioned if / when they come to the UK they will be double the price you popped up on the screen.
Ouch. The EQC is a very compromised car, a car Mercedes converted to be an EV not from the ground up (I know, I worked there when they launched it). This will blow your mind in comparison. They're saying prices will be about 35% higher than in China, but let's say 50%. That would make the flagship dual motor version about £54,000.
@@InsideChinaAuto 229,900 RMB for the base model is great value, too. But all the additional features for just 40,000 RMB more make it hard to resist the top spec version. The base and mid spec versions do not come with air suspension, right?
@@InsideChinaAuto Which electric SUV do you think offers the best value for the money and best comfort for a family right now? I am looking for a second car and currently I am seriously considering this Zeekr. We bought the L7 last year and are super happy with it, this year I feel like the 7X offers even better value, or the L6? Or maybe a Leapmotor?
@@Iropod Leapmotor is quite cheap and more boring in my opinion. Good cars but good for a budget. Honestly this is every bit as good as an L7 I think, but you get more screens in an L7 and a fridge, and that might tip you over the edge. The L6 is all that an L7 is pretty much, just a little smaller and with a few more plastics on lower surfaces, plus it's not air suspension from memory. You can check out my review of it a few weeks back.
I've got ID.4 and considering Zeekr 7X as the next car. I think at little bit smaller version would be nice and I don't like steering wheel. Everything else, I'm impressed.
Moving to China in beginning of 2025 makes this a very strong contender. Based on this review alone it seems to have everything in place. Do you know if this model has Swedish engineering solutions as 007 has (if I recall it correctly)?
@@InsideChinaAuto Thank you for your answer. I have already been able to convince myself of the g9 here in Germany. Workmanship etc top, range could be better, like the 7X. I'm curious to see when Zeekr will finally launch in Germany. EQE SUV couldn't convince me.
Really hope we get some of the fancy features for the export version but i think they gonn a cut down on those like they did with the X. Don't expect the electric rear bench, the electric doors, the extra screen or the privacy curtains tbh. Still a very good car and probably my next EV regardless.
I'm hoping they'll keep more on this one for foreign markets but let's see. A screen shouldn't be too difficult. A lot depends on what is allowed in other markets. I believe the Aussie rules are very strict.
It's bigger than a G6 and more advanced so I believe yes, it is a better riding car. I haven't driven an X5 or Q5 so can't really say. I suspect a Beemer will be the more engaging car to drive, but this is a better car overall.
What do you think of GAC Aion Hyper HT? It's an electric SUV on the same class and price as 7X. It has bigger dimension, longer range, and same 0-100. Which is better?
I sat in a HT at the Chengdu auto show but haven't driven one. I think this is overall a more luxurious, more thoughtful car, with much faster charging tech too. The HT is better than I thought and I really liked how the GT drove so if the HT matches that it'll be a lovely steer, but the air suspension on the 7X should make it a better riding car overall. I'm trying to get a HT to test so let's see.
If this comes to Denmark, then will every other brands have a hard time keeping up with the sales for sure ! The BMW X5 starts at €161.000 😱 and the estimated price in Denmark is roughly € 41.500
@@InsideChinaAuto Denmark have alot of tariff and and specially at cars. The cheapest one "X5 xDrive50e M Sport*"is valued at 1.261.798 DKK, ~€169.000, if it's factory new. A used one cost ~€107.264. Can't wait to see if the price will be arranged around the same as the Tesla Model Y. ~€41.000 - ~€45.000
Don't worry, you won't get lidar in Europe or anywhere else. That system is not developed for European roads. The light bar likely won't make it either as it's not legal in many places.
A really nice car that I would seriously consider if Zeekr fixes a serious flaw, that most Chinese car manufacturers make when introducing a car in Europe. No 40/20/40 backseat or at least a load through hatch for our ski or fishing rods. I would never buy a car without it. Nio with it's ET5 Touring and EL6 know what Europeans want, but most Chinese manufacturers don't, and that even goes for Zeekr. They say its designed in Sweden, but not many Swedes want such a car without room for their skies, so it is definitely designed for China, not Europe.
Their design team consists of 40 nationalities, so I can only think they've deemed it not necessary. I saw a guy the other day who goes fishing and his rod was able to fold up in his boot. I'm no fishing expert so I don't know if that's a thing or not or if they're not as good.
My ocean rods are quite long 11" so 5.5" need to fit for these rods. Only budget cars in Europe don't at least have a load through hatch here in Europe. They will loose many customers here without. @@InsideChinaAuto
@@StepTronic As I replied to your other comment, I have never taken a penny from any manufacturer other than the travel arrangements that all journalists get on launch events. If you are too brainwashed to believe that China can make a very good or even competent car, I wholeheartedly recommend you have the balls to come to China and see them for yourself to prove your prejudices.
@@InsideChinaAuto yet you never mention any negatives with these cars not even one. No car is perfect. And I live in a country where we do get these Chinese cars. I have also driven them. You can’t be more obvious that they pay you to say only nice things, when you never say anything negative.
why is tesla still selling so well in China despite having no HUD , no front speedo dash , minimalist interior and on top that competition with over 500 brands
If I was in China, I would never buy a Tesla....they look cheap and pathetic compared to the competition. But they do have better range and performance. Maybe thats why.
@@vickykennel7414 I think there's the brand thing too and maybe still the idea that their charging network is better and easier to use but they're not really true statements anymore, but that stuff takes time to filter down to normal people not obsessed with cars like us.
@@jow1-0-1 Teslas are made in China though. Chinese car less and less about brand and heritage, but Teslas reputation and charging network help them stay relevant and appealing.
In EU they say that Chinese cars will be sold 35% more than the start price. You also have to add custom's price and taxes in each country over the net price ...😢😢
Plenty to be honest. I love the AVATR 12, the BYD Seagull, Geely Panda Mini, Zeekr 001 (and upcoming Zeekr MIX), and the XPeng X9. These have all won me over in various ways.
Hey my man what at SUV luxury style unique I love it I think geely take serious the BYD and need hit back to leader border of tops lest talk point is so beautiful SUV I feel be best seller of this category SUV bravo geely best please can you do more test results about energy and range stability sound noise of the road make more long video ok thanks 🙏
I'll do my best mate. Only had this car a day so not easy to do a full detail test but for the ones I get longer with I'll consider how I can do more complete tests of the range and charging and offer what everyone wants.
Hard to see this not being a success in Australia, the land of SUVs. Personally not a fan of large SUVs but honestly this looks so desirable if I had the coin I could see myself being seduced to the dark side. 😁
@@InsideChinaAuto Yes. Because they don't want to. Tesla is selling its cars in China. They can and they want to. Chinese car companies are chicken. :-)
I must say finally I like interior. We dont get this poor square screen behind wheel but something nice. Same with rest of interior. Outside it Has a feel like its from cyberpunk, also like it. Would be hard punch on standard european companies even if it will cost X2 here.
Yeah, they will need more soon though they're doing well still with only 5 because the competition is so naff everywhere else and Chinese still think they're cool.
Yup It does It's like tesla drivers! I never saw a tesla driver with hair! Thay all are bold?!?! It's a phenomenon Also it' a shame that I never saw a chinese ev on the streets in Europe! I can't say anything about them drivers.
@@nosmoking7851 You don't spend much time on the road if you've never seen an MG, but then you did say you drive a Tiguan so I'm not sure you actually know what any car models are.

Perhaps due to price factors and chaotic product management (you can buy the 2023, 2024 and 2025 models of Zeekr 007 at the same time this year😂), Zeekr is not selling well in China.
Excellent video. Subscribed. Looking 👀 forward to it arriving in Australia.

Should do very well.

Glad to see Zeekr have done nicely their SUV. Agree it will be a hit on the EU market. Hopefully not heavily restricted by import taxes🙏

It will be a hit in the Eu

so some of Volkswagen and Toyota models are 40-50% cheaper than 5 years ago, id 4 is only 17-23k in china vs 40k in the us market

Leagues above Mercedes and BMW! It’s basically a luxury robot that can go off-road. Really impressive. China are the fastest moving technology innovators in the world.
Absolutely. This is what competition breeds. It'll kill off some brands who can't handle the pace, but what's left will be top notch stuff.

Good looking car. Suspect it will be at least 2x the home market price when it arrives...

Not so much in Australia.

It's a weird thing doing off-road driving with no noise. I like it.
When is it coming to the UK? Looks absolutely fantastic.
I'm hoping there will be a UK launch in 2025 for Zeekr but no word yet so let's see. This will almost certainly be available from launch.

I do my best. It's probably because I have a real background in automotive journalism so I'm not caught in this 'keep everything under 10 minutes' trend. I believe people have an attention span.
@@InsideChinaAuto That figures! Pls keep on doing that 😀👌
Amazing review. Great channel
Thank you for being with us.
Previous models of Zeekr were to me a little weird, I didn't like them, but this one is carefully designed all around, nothing is weird, has basically all that is needed. Looks good 👍
Definitely more conventional than other models but really nicely done, very chic.
Gorgeous in any color 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I like everything about it 👏👏👏
Comes in such a great range of colours too including colour of the year in China, green.
@@InsideChinaAuto Let's see the final price that we, Europeans, have to pay for such great vehicles when they are offered over here... 😅😅😅
It must be difficult for you to choose between so many incredible cars one when it's time to buy a new one... May I ask which would the finalists at this moment? 😉
@deltajohnny Personally would love an AVATR 12, wife wants a Li Auto L8, but I'm pretty sure we're going to settle on a Zeekr MIX when it comes out because it's ideal for our family.
@@InsideChinaAuto Great choices!!! 😍😍😍😍 You are really fortunate having so many possibililies to choose from!
About the Zeekr MIX, I didn't know about it. I have searched it and.. I'm in LOVE!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 It looks incredible, futuristic and hiper useful 😁😁 I look forward for you to test it in your channel, and I'm sure that it will be a great success 👏👏👏
I would simply choose 7X over any other European "Premium" SUVs in the same class. Zeekr is just killing it 👏👏👏
100%. They're making some really lovely stuff.
Keen to see how this is priced in Australia, seems a very impressive car and absolutely feature stacked
Let's hope for good pricing.
Since Zeekr X starts from A$60K before on-road costs, I think 7X will start from at least A$65K what is not cheap for an unknown Chinese brand in Australia.
@@MisterX-er9siI’ve heard close to 80k, I just hope they can offer under 80 driveaway
Wow, power sunshades, instrument cluster and some physical controls makes me like this one a lot. It would have been nice to see the 001 Sports seats in this one. The interior space is really nice, rear seats like an ICE car with good thigh support. I like the motor setup on the rear, would have been good if Polestar used this on the Polestar 3 and 4, not sure why a "performance" brand didn't make their RWD car have a higher output motor. The air suspension version reminds me of my Audi etron, good height adjustment for offroad use and it seems like it should go lower for sport mode. This looks like a winner for Zeekr, something that most people are comfortable with, no loss of seating comfort due to raised floor, seems designed around passenger use. Great review. Will they have a track driving session for this vehicle? Would love to see how it performs there. Thanks for another great video.
"been nice to see the 001 Sports seats in this one" More cruizer than racer.
@@AJames-jr8kw With the power it has, you know people are going to push it a bit. Having better side bolsters would help.
I'll certainly let you know if they let me loose on a circuit with this one but we'll see. It's a lovely car this. I think they've nailed pretty much every element of it.
Definitely. I'd like the option of sportier seats because these don't feel particularly supportive laterally.
@@InsideChinaAuto Seems like a good car overall, with the power ans suspension setup, should be a fun ride when you want to push it a bit. Too bad the seats didn't have better side bolsters. Looking forward to see it in action on a track.
An amazing car!
Really lovely car this. Great to look at, full of tech, amazing charging speeds, and super spacious.
Great video and very indepth. I'm keen to learn more about their approach to the ownership experience in China. To understand how that might be different from traditional legacy brands
I'm not really sure the difference is so much to be honest. What parts of the service are you particularly interested in? I think in general they're like any other car maker but they offer benefits and their own charging network to enable the full charging experience at least.
@@InsideChinaAuto Maybe it's more a commentary about Chinese automakers vs the Western/legacy brands. I understand (loosely, as it was a while ago I heard this) that these new automakers place greater emphasis on a positive ownership experience than we might be used to. For example, coffee shops, kids play areas and merch stores that are not usually part of the traditional dealership experience. Kinda like what Tesla did a few years ago. Whereas I just get my car serviced at my local shop, nothing fancy. Nothing missed if I get it sorted out elsewhere.
@@taidewet7070 Ah I understand. Well yes, many brands now have these lounges where you can get lovely coffees, sometimes unique to that store, with rest areas and kiddie areas and books to read or tables to go work. NIO is the obvious one but I believe other brands have some. Not 100% certain if Zeekr do yet, I'll have to check that out.
Definitely our next car… we have these in Australia now yeehaa!
Cool. Should be on your shores next year at some point.
Wow ,Mark you're really kicking them out the park at the moment with Zeekr's new baby , love the area where you're driving around is that the same where you was driving the Avatyr 12 ?
Love those tall unusual buildings too
Anyway I better not praise you too much, tell them Australia wants to 007 cos I like sedans or maybe the small crossover like the Zeeky X..
Regards John
Hi John. This one was filmed in Guangdong province in the mountains, so not the same area as the AVATR 12 video but they're neighbour provinces pretty much. We'll see if 007 comes. I do know a 007 wagon is coming and that will come to Australia so if if you like those you'll enjoy what's coming I'm sure. Zeekr X is now available in Oz so you can start there if you're super keen. Go try one at a dealer, you'll love it.
Bring it to Europe 😊❤
It's coming next year.
Coming next year but going to cost like 70k euro cause of tariffs
@@BEARBEARRRRR Let's see. I'm hopeful it won't be quite so expensive. Somebody suggested a 35% hike over Chinese prices which would make it very competitive.
Awesome.
Indeed. Great car.
Hope coming soon to Australia.
2025 you'll have it.
Great car, looks very good, love the smooth lines ❤️
It is indeed. Good, clean design this one. Not overdone.
this car is beautiful
It is. Lovely car.
very good review of a very good car! thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
the black one looks really premium
It's a right mean beast in black. Very stealthy.
this is a mosnter of a car! really really cool!
It really is. A stunner and very well equipped.
Great review and beautiful car.
Personal opinion. I personally would prefer it without the Stargate front, looks tacky, just plain black would look so much better, or a black chrome for the more premium models.
If you're not in China it's highly likely you're not getting Stargate anyway so you might just get your wish there.
Thank you great video. This car is the most advance car in my opinion even avatr 11 still lost again this car
Bigger than a 11 too.
Thissss over Omoda 5, Atto 3 and MG anydaysss 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bigger car and much much better.
I was in Minsk Belarus for the last couple weeks and saw my first Zeekr 7x and it really stood out, as a polished car, with a great paint appearance. The owner came out of the bank I was heading to and he noticed my close inspection of his car and encouraged me to open the door and sit in it. The feel and even smell of the car was really impressive. Since moving to St Petersburg Russia from my native California and being a former collector and restorer of older Italian GTs, at the peak had 36 restored 1950s-1976 Maserati, and various more utilitarian cars/trucks for the ranch. After moving from California where a car for each adult in the family was essential to live, and moving to a beautiful elegant city of St Petersburg with excellent public transportation and great subway system, I never got another car. I have been partial to Tesla after being a very modest early investor when the stock was $6.58/before the steep run up. I liked the idea and tech but still not so sure a personal car would have any benefit to my life in the city center of a stunning safe fascinating city my total cost of transportation every month for a very active social and cultural lifestyle is less than $50 including taxis when having a date. The first time however I started thinking about getting a car was 4 days ago when I got a 6 minute ride in the Zeekr. Every aspect of the ride and interior and quality of the paint and trim was impressive. That is high on my list of options if I get any car. It even smelled luxurious. It should scare the hell out of German brands.
The only problem with the Chinese options is the extreme speed they create new models and are no following a model year system so every day something interesting appears. The prices here, with the close ties between China and Russia will be rather attractive. A girlfriend got new compact SUV from Geely last year and for price and build/features it is an impressive affordable small SUV. I just do not see the same build and feature sets from Japanese, US, or European brands. The rate of innovation from China is far faster than other traditional car brands. The rise in build quality has been particularly impressive. That Zeekr I rode in was certainly more polished than any Mercedes Jag, or US brand.. The speed of innovation and refinement is far faster than the design cycles of any legacy brand.
It's the new way of the world it seems. I watched as Mercedes standards and feel dropped considerably in just the 8 years I was with them and now their EVs are just awful. Gaudy, terrible software, look like bars of soap. They seem afraid of their own shadow now.
Lmao, i live in St. PETERSBURG and this city has an awful public transportation system many parts of city has no metro station at all and we only listened to promise to build ones for decades😂😂 now buing new car in Russia is a dream, i work in it sector and i have any idea how to buy zeekr which costs more than my 2 year income
Thanks for your efforts in writing this. Very interesting indeed 😎.
Can't wait for it come to Australia
Not too long to wait now.
If it comes at the same price as Tesla Y, that's going to be a serious competition.
It'll come in less than a Model Y in some specs.
Thanks for the detailed review. Ideal car for everyday use which is imbued with so many creature comforts. Hopefully, this will be available where I live at a reasonable price.
Hopefully so. Whereabouts are you?
Great video as always. Car looks awesome, have you got to test NZP yet? If so, curious about your thought vs the prior Mobileye system and compared to competitors like Xpeng and Huawei's systems.
Haven't yet but will be doing so as soon as I get a chance.
Impressive
Indeed it is.
Really keen to buy this when it comes to Australia. Looking at how the 001 is now version 3, I think I'll wait a bit to see what improvements they make for the next version
Sure. This is right at the forefront now of what they've got so far.
Nice interior features.How about the BATTERY feature, by the way? It is save?
The batteries are very safe. No Zeekr has ever had a battery fire to date so you should be fine.
Well, thank you for the work you put in here and happy Sunday to you. Must say, I kind of feel lost sometimes. Every time I tried to decide, what my possible next or rather first electric vehicle is going to be, some other video of some overall better or at least equal car is being introduced. Of course, not everything is coming to Europe or the US, but the fact these vehicles exist on some markets, makes the old car industry wobble. I understand why the US imposed a very high import tax on Chinese electric vehicles. They want to protect their own, which I totally understand. The sad part of it all is, they must have known what was coming. Cars these days on that scale dont just show up out of thin air. It is a long development cycle. Suppliers are put on notice, designers and technicians are being hired, factories are set up, etc. What makes me really mad is that the entire industry knew what was coming, yet they did little to nothing to countermeasure. Look at VW, trying to fire thousands of workers. Why, because they for the large part, ignored the market. Now they are running to the government asking for help to lay off 20 k people. And they will get it, that's what governments are for. But the ignorance of higher management is what I'm made about. Why did VW chose to bring less than mediocre EVs onto the market, when they could have done soooo much better. I don't know.
Anyways, I hope when I get back to the US in a few weeks time, there will be some EVs to buy for under 100k.
It's tough trying to decide isn't it? Imagine living in China with the choice we have here. It's so difficult. But in the States you've got very little, and very little that's affordable. That may change over time but without the intense competition that's going on in China, it'll forever be a catch up game and I'm just not sure Europe or the States have the stomach for it.
What a fantastic SUV. Eagerly awaiting it in Pakistan, when's it coming??
Good question. Do you have Zeekr now?
@@InsideChinaAuto not yet.
I’ordered the sealion 7, and after watching your video I’m having second thoughts, any chance you’ve tested the sealion 7 and provide some comparisons?
Personally, I'd be going for the 7X. Feels more premium, it's a bigger car overall, more spacious, and much more classy inside. Better batteries and charging too, and better to drive. The Sealion 7 is a nice car, certainly not a bad one, but it's not quite the same category as a 7X and it's much more softly sprung, at least here in China. The 7X drives much better and feels like a car from a class and size above, which it is.
The pace of Zeekr not launching but delaying and delaying and delaying their European launch is impressive and second to none.
They need a steady hand at the wheel. I've heard mistakes have been made.
looks alright
It's really rather nice.
I’m in if they arrive in Australia prepared. Xpeng has turned up and three months later still no tow hitch. So they missed the boat with me. I will await to see if Zeekr can get things sorted better.
Let's hope they remember the tow hitch
Very nice, price it right here in Australia and it will do very well, I'm certainly interested.
I believe so. Let's see how pricing looks.
Just took an X for a test drive in Australia and I liked it. However too much was removed from the car for between 64k and 72k. Feels like rather than improving the market here all they have done is meet the competition and kept the negative parts of the car.
I'd might buy one but it will need to come down in price or add back some of the items they removed.
They told us that some of the cool stuff they're testing first on the Chinese market first, making sure it all works well, then they'll roll out to other places later. However some of the things you simply can't have in Australia because your rules on cars are super strict and not keeping up with the development of new models.
@@InsideChinaAutoI can understand. So much redtape makes it hard.
Excellent Review. I have looked at the car in Dongguan. Questions? What is the noise level in dB in the car, front seat, back seat? The audio system, Blue Tool or Jack Headphones in or ports? so as not distract the driver. Can I get 4 full sets of Golf Clubs the boot? What are the self-driving capabilities? It has Lidar, I believe the X does not have Lidar. Enjoyed your Video. My understanding is the ZEEKR is the high lever of car for Geely. I was leaning to buy the ZEEKR X, but the one I was in did not have Lidar. Maybe they will add it to the line.
Thanks for the questions. I'll try to answer as well as I can.
Noise levels: Don't know as I don't have that equipment but it wasn't ever loud.
Sound: Bluetooth headphones may well be possible, I've never really thought of that on a car without loads of screens. No modern car has jack cable sockets though that I'm aware of.
Golf clubs: I'm going to say yes. Can't prove it but it's plenty big enough so I see no reason why not. 616 litres I think I said in the video.
Lidar: standard on all variants of 7X and will have access to NZP by the end of the month, so autonomous city and highway driving. Haven't tested it yet but I will when I get chance. Not sure if that's subscription or one-time payment or included for free.
@@InsideChinaAuto Very good. I can take a golf driver to check myself. My other Chinese SUV's had 1 Bluetooth connection. So possible for at least one person in the SUV to hear the music. Today most people like their own music anyway. I was thinking more about movies. Do they have a spare tire now? I really wanted the ZEEKR X, but no Lidar on the roof. So I don't think it has good self-driving capability. It's just me and the wife here in China. So don't need a big car. I was driving a Porsche Cayenne Hybrid. But got rid of it as she did not want to drive such a big SUV. The 7X is a little bigger than I wanted but should be OK. I will check them again. Thanks for your help.
From a safety standpoint how many airbags does this have and where are they located?
From what I can see, there are 7 airbags, so should be two front, two curtain bags, a centre airbag, and side airbags for the front two seats. They also use submarine-grade steel on the sides and tested it for a rear end crash with a truck followed by a side impact with a truck immediately after and all the doors could still open. They also have a built in emergency cord under the armrests that can shatter the glass in the event of falling into water. They were very big on safety during the launch video but didn't tell us everything in advance to save some bits.
@@InsideChinaAuto Thank you! So many people are under the impression that the reason Chinese vehicles are cheap is because they cut corners on the safety equipment so it is nice to hear that is not the case!
@@stargazer3828 They've even developed a baby seat for this one with the world's first integrated airbag. We didn't see that on the launch event so I was only able to take a stab at what it would be in the video but turns out there's even more to it. Modern full-size Chinese cars definitely don't skimp on safety. Just look at their EuroNCAP scores and standard safety kit lists. It's outrageous.
It's definitely on my list when my EV6 are being replaced.
It should be. Very good car this.
Does the infotainment system support English language in China?
Not in China I'm afraid, though somebody should be able to unlock it for you if you buy one.
Good Question ❓
Just checked the price for a Zeekr X long range here in Sweden, its 544,000 sek, meaning 46000 Eur, so still quite pricey imo .. Note: could not find any pricing on the 7X yet.
No pricing yet but they've suggested it won't be too high. Let's see. They just lowered the entry-level X here to 135,000RMB, which is ridiculous.
Out of all the cars coming from China this is the one that I am more interested in, love the looks and the new battery power that's becoming available. in a Merc EQC at the moment so i like SUV style vehicles but as already mentioned if / when they come to the UK they will be double the price you popped up on the screen.
Ouch. The EQC is a very compromised car, a car Mercedes converted to be an EV not from the ground up (I know, I worked there when they launched it). This will blow your mind in comparison. They're saying prices will be about 35% higher than in China, but let's say 50%. That would make the flagship dual motor version about £54,000.
Nice review, this car is really impressive at this price. I really like the all black version.
Top edition confirmed at 269,900 RMB, 30,000 cheaper than I predicted. It's ridiculous how good this is for that price.
@@InsideChinaAuto 229,900 RMB for the base model is great value, too. But all the additional features for just 40,000 RMB more make it hard to resist the top spec version. The base and mid spec versions do not come with air suspension, right?
@Iropod Indeed, as standard they don't get it, but it is optional.
@@InsideChinaAuto Which electric SUV do you think offers the best value for the money and best comfort for a family right now? I am looking for a second car and currently I am seriously considering this Zeekr. We bought the L7 last year and are super happy with it, this year I feel like the 7X offers even better value, or the L6? Or maybe a Leapmotor?
@@Iropod Leapmotor is quite cheap and more boring in my opinion. Good cars but good for a budget. Honestly this is every bit as good as an L7 I think, but you get more screens in an L7 and a fridge, and that might tip you over the edge. The L6 is all that an L7 is pretty much, just a little smaller and with a few more plastics on lower surfaces, plus it's not air suspension from memory. You can check out my review of it a few weeks back.
LOVELY SUV
Very much so. It's awesome.
I've got ID.4 and considering Zeekr 7X as the next car. I think at little bit smaller version would be nice and I don't like steering wheel. Everything else, I'm impressed.
Zeekr X might be too small for you I reckon, so you could consider an XPeng G6 or a Leapmotor C10.
Moving to China in beginning of 2025 makes this a very strong contender. Based on this review alone it seems to have everything in place. Do you know if this model has Swedish engineering solutions as 007 has (if I recall it correctly)?
It's designed at Zeekr's design studio in Gothenburg.
Which car has the better interior quality? The G9 Xpeng or the 7X?
I'd say probably on a par but I haven't sat in a G9 for a long time. Geely cars have excellent build though.
@@InsideChinaAuto Thank you for your answer. I have already been able to convince myself of the g9 here in Germany. Workmanship etc top, range could be better, like the 7X. I'm curious to see when Zeekr will finally launch in Germany. EQE SUV couldn't convince me.
@@olm1st You're wise to avoid to the EQE. Their systems are like Windows 95 in comparison.
@@InsideChinaAuto WIN 95 太扎心了老铁😂
Fingers crossed the will land in NZ as well.
I think you're in luck.
Really hope we get some of the fancy features for the export version but i think they gonn a cut down on those like they did with the X. Don't expect the electric rear bench, the electric doors, the extra screen or the privacy curtains tbh. Still a very good car and probably my next EV regardless.
I'm hoping they'll keep more on this one for foreign markets but let's see. A screen shouldn't be too difficult. A lot depends on what is allowed in other markets. I believe the Aussie rules are very strict.
Question. Would you pick this or not Avatr 07?
Haven't driven the 07 yet so couldn't tell you but from what I know of it, it isn't quite as feature-rich as the 7X but I'd have to look side by side.
Would you say that the driving dynamics is better than Xpeng G6? What about compared to some European rivals like BMW or Audi?
It's bigger than a G6 and more advanced so I believe yes, it is a better riding car. I haven't driven an X5 or Q5 so can't really say. I suspect a Beemer will be the more engaging car to drive, but this is a better car overall.
Hope to see you do the Zeekr 007 Wagon soon; that's the sweet spot for me.
Can't wait to see it when it comes out. Likely early next year.
What do you think of GAC Aion Hyper HT? It's an electric SUV on the same class and price as 7X. It has bigger dimension, longer range, and same 0-100. Which is better?
I sat in a HT at the Chengdu auto show but haven't driven one. I think this is overall a more luxurious, more thoughtful car, with much faster charging tech too. The HT is better than I thought and I really liked how the GT drove so if the HT matches that it'll be a lovely steer, but the air suspension on the 7X should make it a better riding car overall. I'm trying to get a HT to test so let's see.
If this comes to Denmark, then will every other brands have a hard time keeping up with the sales for sure !
The BMW X5 starts at €161.000 😱 and the estimated price in Denmark is roughly € 41.500
I think we can all see where this is going. 161k for an X5 by the way? Jesus that's a lot.
@@InsideChinaAuto Denmark have alot of tariff and and specially at cars. The cheapest one "X5 xDrive50e M Sport*"is valued at 1.261.798 DKK, ~€169.000, if it's factory new.
A used one cost ~€107.264.
Can't wait to see if the price will be arranged around the same as the Tesla Model Y. ~€41.000 - ~€45.000
@DjuulshNs Man, that's a lot, but it persuades people to go electric so that's good.
@@DjuulshNs damn, everyone need to be rich in there !
Great vid, great car. they need to cut all those not so necessary autopilot features here in EU for some price cut to deal with tax.
Don't worry, you won't get lidar in Europe or anywhere else. That system is not developed for European roads. The light bar likely won't make it either as it's not legal in many places.
Please bring this to Australia 💗
Next year. It's coming.
A really nice car that I would seriously consider if Zeekr fixes a serious flaw, that most Chinese car manufacturers make when introducing a car in Europe. No 40/20/40 backseat or at least a load through hatch for our ski or fishing rods. I would never buy a car without it. Nio with it's ET5 Touring and EL6 know what Europeans want, but most Chinese manufacturers don't, and that even goes for Zeekr. They say its designed in Sweden, but not many Swedes want such a car without room for their skies, so it is definitely designed for China, not Europe.
Their design team consists of 40 nationalities, so I can only think they've deemed it not necessary. I saw a guy the other day who goes fishing and his rod was able to fold up in his boot. I'm no fishing expert so I don't know if that's a thing or not or if they're not as good.
My ocean rods are quite long 11" so 5.5" need to fit for these rods. Only budget cars in Europe don't at least have a load through hatch here in Europe. They will loose many customers here without. @@InsideChinaAuto
@@InsideChinaAutolol how much did they pay you to shill for them?
@@StepTronic As I replied to your other comment, I have never taken a penny from any manufacturer other than the travel arrangements that all journalists get on launch events. If you are too brainwashed to believe that China can make a very good or even competent car, I wholeheartedly recommend you have the balls to come to China and see them for yourself to prove your prejudices.
@@InsideChinaAuto yet you never mention any negatives with these cars not even one. No car is perfect. And I live in a country where we do get these Chinese cars. I have also driven them. You can’t be more obvious that they pay you to say only nice things, when you never say anything negative.
why is tesla still selling so well in China despite having no HUD , no front speedo dash , minimalist interior and on top that competition with over 500 brands
Not a clue, it's a mystery to me too. (By the way, only about 70 brands making actual real cars, not 500, though it often feels like that many)
If I was in China, I would never buy a Tesla....they look cheap and pathetic compared to the competition. But they do have better range and performance. Maybe thats why.
@@vickykennel7414 I think there's the brand thing too and maybe still the idea that their charging network is better and easier to use but they're not really true statements anymore, but that stuff takes time to filter down to normal people not obsessed with cars like us.
Perception foreign is better, brand value….
@@jow1-0-1 Teslas are made in China though. Chinese car less and less about brand and heritage, but Teslas reputation and charging network help them stay relevant and appealing.
Legacy manufacturers must be shaking in their boots.
Read what Jim Farley had to say about it. He likes his Xiaomi so much he doesn't want to give it back.
In EU they say that Chinese cars will be sold 35% more than the start price. You also have to add custom's price and taxes in each country over the net price ...😢😢
It'll still likely be cheaper than less impressive competitors.
Brake lights not coming on in Sync?
I'll have to check that back but I didn't notice it at the time.
You are reviewing so many great EV's but do you have any favourites?
Plenty to be honest. I love the AVATR 12, the BYD Seagull, Geely Panda Mini, Zeekr 001 (and upcoming Zeekr MIX), and the XPeng X9. These have all won me over in various ways.
wish it come to Thailand 🎉❤
Pretty sure you'll get it next year.
Well.... Zeeker cars (and also Lynk&Co) are developed and designed in Gothenburg, Sweden
Indeed they are, by a team of people from over 30 countries.
Hey my man what at SUV luxury style unique I love it I think geely take serious the BYD and need hit back to leader border of tops lest talk point is so beautiful SUV I feel be best seller of this category SUV bravo geely best please can you do more test results about energy and range stability sound noise of the road make more long video ok thanks 🙏
I'll do my best mate. Only had this car a day so not easy to do a full detail test but for the ones I get longer with I'll consider how I can do more complete tests of the range and charging and offer what everyone wants.
Hard to see this not being a success in Australia, the land of SUVs. Personally not a fan of large SUVs but honestly this looks so desirable if I had the coin I could see myself being seduced to the dark side. 😁
Haha, this is the kind of SUV that could convert a man.
Beautiful car, but when it arrives in Europe it will cost around 80k for the AWD.
They're saying 35% more in Europe and the launch price for the flagship was about €34,300 here, which means it could even be as low as sub-€50,000.
Jacked up suv is filling a gap in the Aussie market that currently the Germans own. Could do well.
Could do very well.
Does it come with english menu?
Not in China I don't think but it will have abroad.
@InsideChinaAuto strange...many local Chinese manufacturers like huawei cars, recent li autos and nios offer English menus in China...
@@LaerKanan Nio, Huawei and BYD do, I've not seen a Li that does English yet unless they changed it in the last month or so.
Happy to have e- SUV as global warming give more rain and more flooding...
Let's hope we can turn things around. A lot of lives getting destroyed by this mad weather.
Nice cockpit.
Looks like a possible future Volvo X90 base?
Maybe XC60 but I don't think Volvo are going with SEA for their big SUVs.
It is a fridge module which you can purchase later willingly. 9:48
Awesome. I thought so. They didn't give us that info on the test.
Looks like a good car... that they will never sell in the US. What's that worth? Nothing. ;-)
Not because they don't want to.
@@InsideChinaAuto Yes. Because they don't want to. Tesla is selling its cars in China. They can and they want to. Chinese car companies are chicken. :-)
Do you think Zeekr will survive the price war? I love this brand but profitable and Zeekr don’t go in the same sentence.
From what I understand they're not far off being profitable and they have the might of the Geely brand behind them. They're one of the safe ones.
When is this coming to hk
already available in HK.
Likely next year. There are no RHD versions yet but next year there will be as it's going to Australia.
Please do an avatr 07 review
Will do as soon as I can get hold of one.
I must say finally I like interior. We dont get this poor square screen behind wheel but something nice. Same with rest of interior. Outside it Has a feel like its from cyberpunk, also like it. Would be hard punch on standard european companies even if it will cost X2 here.
Fully agree with all those points.
Tesla should release more models or they will lag behind.
Yeah, they will need more soon though they're doing well still with only 5 because the competition is so naff everywhere else and Chinese still think they're cool.
There are a lot of speakers. Please evaluate the audio sound performance.
Will do next time.
You got me!
I am bitter 😪
I always wanted to have a car called zeekr
I have a poster on my wall as well!
Btw a drive a tiguan, sorry
That says a lot.
Yup
It does
It's like tesla drivers!
I never saw a tesla driver with hair!
Thay all are bold?!?!
It's a phenomenon
Also it' a shame that I never saw a chinese ev on the streets in Europe!
I can't say anything about them drivers.
@@nosmoking7851 You don't spend much time on the road if you've never seen an MG, but then you did say you drive a Tiguan so I'm not sure you actually know what any car models are.
@@InsideChinaAuto I saw an MG a couple of times, but that unfortunate car is so ugly that I try to divert my view.
It's a bit traumatic, you must understand!
I, unlike you, love cars.
@nosmoking7851 Nobody who loves cars drives an SUV, and especially not a Tiguan.
Humm the same mirrors from Volvo/Polestar Nice
Frameless, yes. Seems to be a Swedish thing.
@@InsideChinaAuto Do these have blind spot monitoring in the mirrors as well (the orange alert thing)?
@@vishalk7132 Yes they do.
The 7X seems to have better off roading capabilities than the tesla cybertruck 😅
Haha. Couldn't possibly say. I'd have to try them side by side.
