Red Flag (HongQi) Car: Pure Garbage! Blatant Copycats, Abysmal Quality Leads Owner to Smash It!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2023
- This car has broken down 13 times, and parts have been replaced 10 times. The factory has no data at all. I'm so scared that I don't dare to drive this car. What's the use of it if you don't smash it?
Red Flag, historically China's emblem of automotive luxury and also President Xi's vehicle of choice, has faced scrutiny with its 2019 SUV model, the HS5. From transmission leaks to concerns with the engine, air conditioning, onboard computer, and continuous glitches in the Electronic Stability System (ETS), this model has been a hot topic. One particularly upset owner even went to the lengths of demolishing his car.

Its a huge red flag!🚩
What do you expect?
😂😂😂😂
Tofu Dreg BYD and all vehicles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
as default if its made in china i will assume big red flag - avoid.
The huge red flag is their semi truck model
I dont get it they happily sell SanluGuterOil but yet when its done to themselves they complain?
How entiled LoL
A literal red flag 😆
"A facade of quality without substance" That guy summed up the whole of China in one sentence xD
My favorite is China has made it's own advanced chips. Um no they stole a 7nm arm chip design from the us that's ten years old and bought lithography machines from the Dutch right before they were sanctioned but hey not everyone is in the semiconductor industry some people actually believe their nonsense

@@tiefblau2780That's why as a Chinese, we support the CCP. Who doesn't want to steal and get away with it. Only china can 🎉🎉🎉
Long live CCP
True, their government to their buildings to their present on social media, all fake.
You could say the same about the US. The same false front building than in the ole West.
My brother-in-law is an electrical engineer working in the EV battery industry. He worked with Tesla's supplier for batteries and has been to China many times. It should be said, the Chinese are more than capable of doing quality work; they just don't want to. For them, anything that lasts "too long" is money left on the table. Give them a specification, and they will undercut it to put a few extra pennies in their pocket. For them, customers are something to be fleeced, not served.
Yeah, it's everywhere in China, esp in the real estate market. Shoddy construction. They also gotta pay bribes.
To be fair this sums up the whole automotive industry right now
Paying exorbitant price for a western product, watches, cars, handbags, handphones, luxury goods etc.
Tofu Dreg BYD and all vehicles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No , wester capitalist ( sorry , not only wester , every capitalist ) wonts to squize as much profit as they could from cheap chinese labor . Chines alway ask what type from 1-10 of quality do yo want .Rarely is above 5. Lover nubmer is bad for reputation , but gives bigger profit. Capitalism 1/1
The name alone should sum it up. Red flag!!!
why what have red flag done to you ? not letting you guys steal money from other countries ?

The name "red flag" is ironically appropriate.
Ironic how "red flag" is a term for essential warnings you can never pass off.
Much like Citroen being a Lemon.
That's ironic considering what a "red flag" means here in America 🇺🇸 😂

Yep just kept on ignoring those red flags.
YOOOO RAY MAK im seeing you after so much time bruv
You'd think that's a bad sign, but I guess China do really love their red flags.
Chinese manufactured cars perfectly exemplify the Chinese governance across the board. Copies of other things, but only the looks and surface features are diligently copied, where the important components are shoddy and unfit.
Speaks volumes, doesn't it?
It’s their culture now unfortunately
Why I find it laughable that people actually believe that chinese autos will displaced legacy brands in developed nations. They would need to give away their cars and prove near flawless quality over a number of years to gain the trust of the buying public.
There are customers looking more at purchase price than any other criteria, so they do sell quite a few Chinese electric cars in Europe. China didn't bother introducing their ICE cars to Europe though. The MG 4 for instance sells nicely, it's the only electric station wagon on the market, and Europe is the #1 market for station wagons.
the japanese managed to do that a mere 30 years after being at war with the west
The CCP is not known for their great wisdom nor business acumen.
Trump says all the north American automakers will be out of business and china will be making all the cars because they are better and because Xi Jinpoopinpants is a strong leader and unions aren't in control of all the money
It must be true then if Dumbold Chump says it's gonna happen......remember trump knows more than anyone because of his successful career and multi billion dollar empire that is all true and legit because many people say it you know and we hear it all the time how good he is and they are saying it unlike the ones who aren't saying it you know those facist marxists that are quite frankly maniacs that spread the fake news the fake news and the rigging we can't forget the rigging that I ahh we have proof
Of course they are a million miles behind the western world, Japan and Korea in terms of quality vehicles, but these established companies need to be on their guard. The British motorcycle industry was very dominant in most parts of the world until the Japanese crept up on it. The British companies knew about them but didn’t take any notice of this new „crap“ that was entering into the market. Look at the motorcycle industry now. Once the Chinese have the infrastructure to mass manufacture vehicles, they only need to poach key senior managers from the best car makers and they’ll be a serious threat.
Do the Chinese honestly believe that they can match the quality of a luxury manufacture that has had over 100 years to develop and refine their cars? It's ludicrous to think that even with having one in their possession, they still cannot match it. That's what history and heritage affords you.
You said it right, a their can never be the owner of the house, they steal other peoples life work,trying g to make it their own, but is never the same,ever.
They could if they would not simply copy.
If they would learn, and use the chinese low prices to outgun the rest of the market, they could be the new japanese after the japanese glory era.
But they won't.
They will squeeze as much money they can and offer marketing bullshit to their customers.
They are missing the best time they could have.
Yeah... That Nazi German history...that's where Mercedes and BMW gets their legacy from right? From the Luftwaffe and chlorine showers to heated seats and power steering.
Don't forget genetics

Looks like a RR copy. Shame on you chinese duplicate market, stop embarassing your citizens.
I don't think they see this as shameful , they have a complete different set of morals , they don;t think like westerners. they have other things to be embarrassed about it's 3000 years of different culture. greek-christian vs confucianism

@@Blackadder75 Very true! But what they fail to realize with this thinking methodology is that by doing what they think is normal, they're shutting all the doors of opportunities to the outside world! So much so that hardly any nation wants to do business with them. Let alone give 'em a vote of trust! The ugly reality is... they're hated all over the world.

In retrospect, calling it Red Flag probably wasn't the best idea, they jinxed themselves from the start.
Edit: anyhow, I quite like the late 50s model, it would look great slammed on a set of Tru-spokes and 520s.
Red Flag was, indeed, a red flag.
They were cars for the party. Party flag is red. Red flag doesn't mean the same in other languages.
The fact that it's made in China should have been a uge red flag for potential buyers.
Everything is made in China, literally everything
By your logic Iphones and Tesla's are trash😂
@@zephyrfpv9871 atleast teslas n iphones dont malfunction as quickly as this shitty chinese car brand named red flag 🤣🤣🤣

An awful one at that.
Meanwhile you can actually get an Indian car - Mahindra XUV700 for 30k@@yapod9061

A Phantom, fully loaded costs $662,750 according to Google. $300,000 less than that Chinese bag of spanners and it is a flagship Rolls-Royce.. A no brainer isn't it.

Safe to say those two upset customers won't be seen again. They'll be demoted to non-citizens, taken to a re-education centre, and never be heard from again. No one talks badly about the Great Panda or his vehicle of choice and gets away with it.
Lmao please stop with your propaganda. They will be arrested and fined for their crimes and then released from their jail with the criminal record. I mean since they can afford such luxury car, they aint poor.

Going from the fields to building a car in a week is pretty impressive IMO. Can you do it?
@@zephyrfpv9871 No way! And wouldn't try it! The point is, Chinese companies don't care who they hire for work. Can you imagine buying meds from a pharmacist who was a farm labourer only a week ago?
@@0Zebadee0 I appreciate that you gave a rational answer and I respect your point your view. IMO in this case is more a matter of design, experience and publicity. There are many car brands that are more or less loved depending from their country of origin and the citizens judging them.
As a Chinese, no matter which country I was born in, I somewhat still feel ashamed that China can still produce such cars with cheap materials and quality.
You know, the term "Red Flag" means that you need to be aware of some danger or shenanigans. usually attributed to women with issues..."She was a dancer, in Vegas, and all of her friends are dudes. That's a GIANT RED FLAG."
Intellectual property theft will only get you so far. Chinese fire hazard ☣️
If they try to save money on electronic, trim and noise insulation, the customer is doomed to have trouble. They MUST use quality parts throughout the whole car.
I get that Red Flag probably refers to China, but in the English speaking world, Red flag means something to stay away from. It is like calling your car company Problem or Beware. It certainly seems to be living up to its name.
LOL!😂😂
Hey they decided=“ you know what let’s be honest with the world” LOL
Red Communist With Stars (All Commie like "Red Flag" = implied Bloody Bad "Engineers") = Talks more than Design like Elon-gate. 😂 😂 Red 🚩 🚩 Hong Ji 😆 😆...
While as Japan / Nippon with White Flag meant defeated = They, Nihonjin was defeated in World War II but they, the Engineers and Scientists came back like Sony, Honda, Toyoda, Panasonics ... etc. Making best Products (with Prides and Dedications) we should learn from them. 💘 💘 💕 💕. 🗾 🗾.
Would actually be hilarious if there was a car company called Problem or Beware
Shouldn’t a car called “Red Flag” be a “Red Flag” in itself?
Unlike Japanese brands huh. If Toyota or Honda decided to make bad quality cars, they would still be reliable than most of the automakers 😂
At least they have good customer service but chinese cars company sucks in terms of after sales services.
@@kendivedmakarig215dude.. customer service took times to build up. You have to understand China automotive considering new in the market. Plus America and Europe are giving a lots of problem for slowing down China development including cars manufacturing.

That transition from the Rolls Royce to the L5 at 5:45 had me laughing! The L5 looks like a deformed child 😂
I brought a Chinese tractor new, a Lenar,biggest heap of crap ever.
Something broke everyweek and in the end the dealer closed his company and started another to bypass having to deal with all the breakdowns.
So they copied a Potato Masher, put a Tuk Tuk engine in it, attached to a portable cement mixer and expected a nice car?
It probably can’t even cut soft butter!
Yes, but it’s all made from 100% high grade chinesium.👍
It will probably be sold in Russia and 3rd world countries. But they won't last long so maybe not.
Red Flag 🚩 should be a "RED FLAG"!
This car is a Red Flag for the buyers.
I can understand why a Chinese company would use the name Red Flag, but that name would be an instant red flag almost anywhere else, especially because it's Chinese.
It's not so clever and smart when Chinese get scammed.
That’s one Pissed off Man good on him 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍❤️🦘🇦🇺
When your name says a lot about you…
My parents would verbally beat my ass for slamming the door (like 1 second saying don't slam the door) - I should of told them I was just training for my dream Red Flag car here that you have to push hard to close 😶😅😂
The ironic name "Red Flag" sounds almost confessional.
Fun fact, if your doors don't latch well, pick em up and give em a hand! Seriously, lift the bottom of the door at the furthest point from the hinge. Leg press into it, you will move the car, it feels bad, but you're realigning the door. Trial and error, but you'll eventually get your doors shutting smoothly.
I got a car like this, got a steal of a deal. Just some lifting and it was good as new. This is literally how the doors are(or in this case, aren't) aligned on the factory floor.
So what happens when you rip the door off the hinges?
@@ms.annthrope415 you put the steroids down for a few months

@@aldrinaldrin4618 I never said new car. So I never said a price point. It's advice, take it or not. C'mon dumbdumb
They aim 3rd world country markets, and put lots of things on their cars to appeal naive ppl. Like 16 airbags, big screens, shiny interior that looks luxurious , professional audio systems(also Chinese brand), and also promise of long term non existent guarantee 😂. Plus they change the brand names frequently and give hefty amount to dealerships and also government.
Saturday morning here in the USA, kids shouting and screaming but I just chilled out in the bed watching this. It was excellent! You’ve got a new subscriber, very good video. Cheers.
C'mon, they even named it "Red Flag". The customers are too naive.

Nah, Pooh bear 🐻 don't even had enough money to pay them civil servant salary anymore let alone arrest someone 😂
Life is not easy for China. Hard to imagine " Chinese putting up with copy " in everything ?😂
It’s called a, red flag. That’s all that I have to say.
As a chinese i love seeing ccp brands fail 😂😂❤
ur not chinese
I love those channel that talk about the dark side of everything in china
China is literally warhammer 40k
what this is about that yes, these days Chinese cars can LOOK nice. But it's a façade. After some years you will notice, bad after sales. No parts available anymore because the brand now producing other models. And everything breaks down. Which means the car will lose it's value very quick.
They be eating corpse starch in China, and they be sacrificing Uhygurs to their god emperor Xi Jin ping

Maybe in China a "red flag" means something different
@@manoz6194 It means disaster...
When the name is "RED FLAG" You have too walk away, red flag means PROBLEMS
If the name is "Suspect" then everything is questionable.....
Kinda funny knowing all the foreign brands can always expect one sale of every luxury model so it can be very poorly ripped off
Making a car is expensive in China so they cut corners, just like the Tofu buildings in real estate
The brand is called Red Flag? What next, a car brand called Yellow Lemon? 😂
In my country, several chinese brand cars also have major issues. If it was a major car brand that developed such issues, a recall is done but not for chinese brand. No recall. Just fix it at the expense of the owner. Also the customer service is terrible with a 6 months waiting time to get a car repaired!
13 times!?!? Holy shit! After the 5th time, I’d return the car to the dealer, he def had patience
You have to be crazy to buy a chinese car, even if I were chinese I would not buy a chinese car
Bro. It's name is already "Red Flag".
What more warning do you need? 😂😂😂
I'm constantly amazed at how Chinese have no issues with scamming other Chinese with all the things they do
No imagination no innovation
Just copy no wonder is all crap
Well the brand name raises a...
Red flag, at least they tried to warn you.
I'm scared to think what the new Chinese Comac C919 airplane will be like.
HYPOCRITE. I am more afraid to fly in a boeing with many whistleblowers exposing what evil there are in the corporation
A mate of mine who owns 8 factories ordered a fleet of New Forklifts from China on the proviso of a demo at his main factory. When the demo forklift was being unloaded the rear wheels fell off and the engine fell out and when the the driver was asked to explain he said " maybe the semble fault"
Well yes, that probably is the fault. Doesn't make it better lol
The front on some of the earlier models did look just like Volgas from the -70s and -80s.
My thought exactly, but it's apparently some rather recent cars too that look dated, not just earlier models.
I can see the resemblance. I'm pretty sure both FAW Hongqi (Red Flag) and Volga used a late 50s Chrysler for their inspiration.

Every freedom loving country needs people willing to form Grassroots Organizations/Movements.
1) To ensure that our politicians aren't putting the interests of the CCP above our own countries.
2) To support human rights, and preserve freedom & democracy around the world; from the CCP-PLA's undue influences and harm.
3) To elect politicians who will be on the right side of history.
4) To develop tough on China legislation.
5) To expose and weed out CCP corruption abroad.
6) To foster the fraternity of NATO Nations.
7) To stop China stealing land and resources
8) ....anything else necessary.

The Chinese has always been clever to copy Western car brands many years ago like Mercedes ,BMW etc. I cannot understand why people are buying them other for the low price like MG with low range.
Lol the BRAND NAME ITSELF was a... red flag
The best defense against communist authoritarian dictatorship is to strengthen democracies from corrupting influences and nepotism. It takes an active and concerted effort of the people, to ensure that our democratically elected politicians are truly representing our interests.
We must also address what hostile communist countries are doing, both domestically and abroad. Democratic Nations must stand together against their lawlessness in defense of global security, human rights, and enforce International Law.
Clearly the name said it all, IT’S A RED FLAG to buy the Red Flag 😂😂😂 The only company in China that is making good product quality is *DJI*

Wow....Chinese manufacturers having issues with quality control?....Im shocked....SHOCKED I SAY!
It'll be a LONG time before people relate Chinese products with Quality. It's doable and has been if manufacturered correctly with quality control but that's usually with supervision and paid by US and other companies outside involved.
It's not German, Japanese, or Swiss made. Made in USA alone has long ways to go.
Yeah, there's more to than just "Made in " means high quality.
iphones are now being made in India, does it mean we expect the quality to go down or whatever? It is made according to how Apple wants it. Just because it's assembled in India now doesn't mean much. it was assembled in China all along, ideally two countries not many people would have trust for for good quality products.
Well, that's a real RED FLAG
nothing can beat the beauty of the European cars and reliability of Japanese cars and durability of American cars
There was a Chinese car manufacturer that replied to negative car reviews from Russia that he doesn't worry because Russians can't buy other cars anyway. That's why they pay 2-3 times the price of what a Chinese pays for it.
But if you want a piece of fantastically carved jade, red wood or Shoushan stone, you will find skill without parallel.

Our benz had an issue with gearshift aged 6 years and 125.000km. Warranty expired years before. Benz fixed it. They told us it cost 2400€ to fix it. Then they apologised, said that should not have happened, tossed the bill in the bin, and wished us a safe trip.

You can’t pay me to drive a Chinese vehicle let alone own one . I’m extremely happy with my Japanese Toyota Corolla , it’s not a Lexus but does the job , never breaks down and despite having a 4 speed automatic transmission it’s very economic on gas .

I also own a much newer Chevrolet tracker SUV which I mostly use for long travels , but I ain’t gonna sell the Corolla .
“Red Flag” definitely living up to its name. 😂
Does this suggest that HongQi will accomplish where many assassins have failed?
