Getting to know the Xiaomi SU7 better before doing a proper review - looking around and trying to use the car with Stan to guide me. Follow me on Twitter @ElliotChina
GEELY owns LOTUS. That is why LOTUS now has an EV that actually works. Jaguar got bought by Indians they made one overhyped overpriced EV the iPace and its global sales tanked. They have done nothing since. Same with Aston Martin they made an EV years ago a prototype then nothing.
Jag actually developed an electric XJ a few years ago but cancelled it last minute before launch. They're supposed to be releasing another EV very soon. FWIW the iPace is incredibly underrated and is still one of the best handling EVs on market today, all these years later.
I don't know how much of the iPace is actually designed by TATA-JLR, but it is very evident that they can't really build an EV to any significant degree. The iPace is built by Magna, and AFAIK Tata-JLR to this day still cannot build EVs in any sort of volume on their own.
The looks is very coherent, nothing out of place, not overdone, clean and the overall shape is beautiful. You can say this and that remind you this car or that car, but the minute details of proportions, where things exactly placed is what makes this so coherent and universally good looking.
The driving part looks like the last scene in a horror movie with creepy hoodie guy lurking in the back seat - they think they've finally defeated the bad guy but he's hiding in their car
Most modern Chinese market cars are designed to be sold in Europe/SE Asia/Australia/Latin American without significant modifications. Meeting US/Canada standards would take more work since their regulations differ from the Europeans, but most Chinese carmakers won't risk entering the US auto market anyway due to the political climate.
@@kumbackquatsta Not higher or lower, just different. US uses FMVSS (Canada uses the similar CMVSS) standards to certify new car sales, while the rest of the world uses variants of the NCAP safety tests. So there is Euro NCAP, China NCAP, ASEAN NCAP, Latin NCAP, Korean NCAP and so on. Because the NCAP systems are more similar to each other, if a Chinese carmaker designs a car to meet EuroNCAP standards, it won't take many modifications to meet say, A-NCAP standards in order to sell it in Australia or ASEAN NCAP standards to sell it in Thailand. However FMVSS standards to sell a car in the US are much more different, and also include non-safety related features, so it will take more time and money to get a car to meet them. Doesn't mean the car is safer, it just means unless you are fully onboard with entering the US car market, you are not going to bother to make your cars FMVSS compliant. This is why Peugeot will continue to sell cars in Mexico, even in small numbers, but won't sell them in the US. It doesn't cost Peugeot that much to make their Euro NCAP compliant cars also be Latin NCAP compliant, so even low volume exports to Mexico can be done. But it would cost a hell of a lot more to federalize that same car to meet FMVSS standards, so they don't bother.
Maybe when Xiaomi gets their next factory up and running. Elliot was kidding about the hype, since they sold out their first year worth of production literally within an hour of opening up preorders. The only reason they "only" have 90,000 firm orders at the moment is because the waiting time is already over 8 months long. It'll take Xiaomi some years to fulfill domestic demand in China before they can even think of exporting.
Hahaha, people always get confused with the voice assistants at first. In my car I was trying to explain to my wife how it worked, and and first you have to call it but then it only listens to the person that called it 😅 But isn't there an option in the menus to adjust mirrors and steering wheel? In mine there is about 4 ways to get to it, voice, by moving the seat (it then shows all controls for seat/steering/mirrors), in the quick access menu, or deeper in the actual menu.
Xpeng recognize who is sitting where, have 4 areas and understand who wants what... Even the buttons on the door respect what driver and users want, if a passenger fears getting a cold if a window is opened by children, the Xpeng car blocks opening the window too much, sparing problems inside the car...
Xpeng Motors recognize users in 4 areas and take in account any useful command. No risk should exist for anyone. Even doors buttons for window opening react to car passengers reactions when a window is opened by another passenger. Any complaint is spared...
A brilliant car and tremendous value for money given the tech, looks, and world-class brand behind it. The fact this is their first car is incredible. As for Elliot, what a terrible, unprofessional host.
Stan and Elliot is that strange mix that once brought us the Top Gear, all that left is to find the missing piece of "Captain Slow" with similar awful tendency of filings drill bits size habits alongside tedious explanations on why colors of a car that we see is actually not the same as the one that it have. Then we will got a blast.
This Chinese man is full of prejudice against his country’s good products. Throughout the video, he talks about all kinds of bad things about this car...
You know what? EV reminded me of the 1970s when quartz watch was invented and then anyone thought automatic and winding watches will be history….Suddenly the world was flooded with millions of quartz watches made from every corners of the world. That will be the story of EVs
Not true. People still prefer mechanical watches because the time accuracy was not the priority. EVs though, no matter how you look at it, at least for China and many developing countries that don't have enough oil reserve, EVs are just great. They don't need to spend so much of their dollar reserves to buy Patrol, they can just use electricity. That's from the angle of the governments, and for customers, in all developing countries electricity is wayyyyy cheaper than patrol, since it can be produced locally instead of using foreign exchange reserves. Also, cities have much better air quality now. I am not saying all that from a future perspective, these benefits already show in real life in million people's daily life, at least in China. Even if you don't like EVs, spending a bit more to buy hybrids will save you tons of money from fuel, even if you never plug it in at home. They are just more efficient, that's a fact, and even the top modern sports cars these days use hybrid power trains, for the horsepower from the electric motors, also a fact. No matter how you look at it, even if EVs may never fully replace all internal combustion engine car as some media portrays, it will at least play a major role in the car market.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 Not exactly, what I’m trying to say is eventually there will be 2 segments like watches. 1. Quartz or digital watches like quartz watches and any other form of digital instruments to tell time. 2. Watches as in luxurious brands like PP, AP, Rolex, VC, etc. mainly as status symbols. The similarity may happened to vehicles: 1. EVs and/or maybe any future equipment purely for to serve its purpose such as EV cars, dump trucks, goods vehicles, etc….absolutely nothing to show as luxury. 2. The luxurious brands of car which likely be gasoline, etc Lessons learned in the days of luxurious watch brands that went into quartz watches, it was complete failure! As of today nobody will purchase a branded quartz watch and those that were made in the earlier days were obsoleted. My wife brought a quartz cartier in the early 1980s because she is simply too lazy to adjust the time when automatic watches stopped and she believes it is the future of watches including luxurious brands. The watch had since stopped working as the PCB needs to be replaced, the watch is simply a pcb, nothing to be fascinated! My summary: Why go for luxury in EV? Go for efficiency, effectiveness, Safety and, if possible, full autonomous into the future! Why these EV manufacturers are trying to outdo each other on luxury,,instead they should focus on improving these factors! They are barking up the wrong tree!
@@JiajuChen Like quartz watch. EV will fair better a a functional car, not some gadgets loaded "mini club house" Quartz watches went that direction and failed miserably before they shifted back to basic....make good and lasting watches and/or any electronic gadgets that tell time. Lux cars will be like lux automatic watches that will withstand the test of time where it will status symbol. Don't try to elevate status symbol of EVs by loading it with lots and lots of gadget instead research should be spent making it Safe, Lasting, Reliable and preferably full autonomous. Focus on reducing human intervention when driving, loading, unloading, clearing rubbish...make it to replace manual labor as much as possible and as safe as possible. I see many EV manufacturers are going the wrong direction and forgoing safety first to be first mover in the market This is absolutely rubbish.
Lei Jun is not a newbie in car manufacturing. He invested in NEO in 2013. He was the first investor in NEO and one of the first investors in XPENG. But I agree with your point of view, because Xiaomi's second car is an SUV.
2 dudes being salty (that some Chinese phone manufacturer mopped the floor with every european automaker from the first attempt) for 12 minutes and 9 seconds
Shame on you two. This isn't a review, you just wanted to make fun of the car and complain about everything. Design is competitive now, and every designer takes or learn something from the other designer to incorporate into their own design. You dont represent the whole world, and what you like or don't like doesn't matter.
yeah no, that's not a proper review video I agree. Actually there is a another channel (Fully Charged) hosted by Elliot you can check out for review stuff.
I am total xiaomi fan boy, I suspect I may be have more of their tech than anybody else in the UK. So please bring your cars over but not in that horrible colour

This foolish Chinese host harbors significant malice towards the Xiaomi SU7, even going as far as to be unreasonable and nitpicky. The car system has not been optimized and developed for non-Chinese users.
This is not up to the usual Elliot standard. This is a terrible review. Just bashing all aspects of the car with nothing productive to say. If Elliot was on his own without the Chinese guy this would have been a very different review.
They have done hundreds of thousands of km in test driving before releasing for sale. Their chairman Lei Jun actually drove one from Beijing to Shanghai, a 1200km journey that took him 15 years.
I have seen few video of yours ... all you do is nagging ...this ain't no review ...specially the Chinese guy ,who to get some view trashing his own country product... critics needs to be productive ...
This is Elliot's channel, not your local propaganda channel. Go to globaltimes if you want "positive" Chinese news...oh wait, they have plenty of negative news too (on US and Japan).

For their first attempt at making a car I think Xiaomi did a good job. More iterations and customer feedback means will only get better … I hope

The car look sleek and brilliant.
Yes although criticized for copying other brands I think it looks good
Copy cat because it has wheels, brakes, lights, engine, doors, windshield, and steering wheels.
The Chinese guy is really funny. Kudo's to him.
really good review and like your cohost!
Beautiful car
Interesting car - and Stan is fun!
Co-host looking sharp👍
His Mum is still looking for those curtains ! LoL
Looks good hopefully we get it Europe
It's a nice car knowing that it's Xiaomi first car❤❤
You are great 👍 Ha ha - what a joy to watch... Do NOT change...
Didn’t know you had your own channel besides Fully Charged. Nice format with you two guys.
Have been laughing from the very beginning of the video 😂Your Chinese friend is very funny and Xiaomi assistant too😂
NOMI kicks that assistant's butt...NIO has nothing to worry about.
I heard the BYD assistant is also quite good
Xiao AI is insane trust me
Can you do a long range test on a EREV?
At least it's smart enough to know it's not the driver that is giving the voice command
