Yes, what a surprise that many would like to see 100% tariffs imposed on them. As long as you don't see them on the roads, it's like they don't exist! Until your exports get crushed, but that's later.
Bro just dumped his lambo in the thicket to shake off the cops. Jeez, can't even speed a little over the speed limit around little children these days, what has this country come to.
China and North Korea are also neighboring countries. What you said is not allowed in theory, but in fact, Fatty Jin may have enjoyed China's new energy vehicles privately, so it should be true that only the United States can't drive.
@@aalmuhairi Does it feel fast to drive? Without looking into it, I would imagine a lot of energy is lost because the gas engine is pretty much working like a generator. In the real world, how is the range, and is it accurate to what they advertise?
@ it is fast enough for its size 5.2m 1.8mwide, its around 490hp 5.4s to 100klm.real range after 6month using, 235klm from 52kw battery, however range from generater is 1116klm
@ they advertise 1450, but that CLTC which is china in city rane of max speed 100klm, dubai as average 120klm and many 140klm, add AC usage, i would say its really good. What i miss in it. Google support maps youtube and apple car play😢. Still shops here crack them and get them installed .
I had my chinese EV for a yr now, Xpeng G6. it gets better... now I realized I can just walk upto car and it auto opens door, when I leave it auto shuts locks. and the pre-heat/cool from phone a minute b4 u get in. is so amazing.... warm or cool in winter summer is a must and it's a luxury that makes u feel life is good. ... and auto lights never need to think about lights again.... and it has wifi..... and cost me 9 dollars to drive almost 400 miles.... amazing
I live in China and own the L9 from Li Auto which I got after test driving the X5, X7, GLE, GLS and XC90. The one thing that I love about it is that it makes me forget about what car I’m actually driving. It just doesn’t matter anymore. That’s how comfortable and relaxing it is.
Chinese brands are incredibly good these days. I've been to the Paris motor show a few weeks ago and it was a real eye opener. You'd get into the 100k German EVs and they'd feel cheap compared to 40k Chinese EVs
China paid for this one, they are desperately trying to get their junk on our market while simultaneously supporting Russia and Iran. We will not let cHINESE junk on our market, not until China lets go of Taiwan stops supporting Russia
Sure. Americans should be driving computers on wheels controlled by Chinese companies. A nation we might go to war with any second. What could go wrong?
How will the rich make more money if we do this? Do you want them to offer a high quality car at an attractive price in a competitive market! Are you crazy? We are capitalists when it suits the rich and communists when it harms the rich
I drove the L9 SUV during my visit to China. I was so impressed. The car drives super quiet, and the technology inside is uncomparable to that in U.S. cars. China is truly ahead of the pack in the electric car industry. I hope we'll be able to have these in America in the future!
@@xYIWUxI've driven it before too on extremely rough roads and the air suspension does an extremely good job after u turn on the soft mode. It also handles extremely well for what it is with its adaptive roll bars, +it's power and torque is absolutely amazing
I still remember 15 years ago how expensive the flat screen TVs can be in bestbuy and when the Chinese company came in with brands like TCL and Hisense the prices of all brands came down to dust just because there really wasn't too much difference between SONY Samsung and the Chinese brands but they are 5 times less expensive. I truly believe people will live a better life with Chinese products that are way much cheaper and also functioning as good as all the other western brands
I have been telling people that Chinese cars are incredibly futuristic. I have been to China several times, and the types of cars they are making now will blow your mind. It's simply amazing. I hope one day they allow Chinese cars into the US, and I promise you car companies will start selling at a fair price.
As long as labour laws are fairly similar and government subsidies are on par, I am fine with that. We wouldn't want to buy products from exploitation of vulnerable people now would we?
@@rickzane6433 then why would the US still allowing clothes made from thailand, vietnam and etc coming in? im sure those workers are paid less than chinese workers now lol. btw what makes u think these cars are hand made from human labors in the first place?
@rickzane6433 Enjoy being ripped off by big automobile companies. What the Chinese have done is eliminate the BS and cut out all the BS big companies charge, giving us cars at a fair price. If the US wants to compete, they can cut the BS too. Do you understand that Tesla Model 3s are sold for $25k in China? Do you understand that the BMW 3 series EV is being sold at $25k? Do you know the VW ID 4 sells for $25k in China? Because they have competition over there, and the US definitely needs the competition, or you can let the media sell you BS.
Just for a little bit of context here, MEGA is considered a flop in China, not because it's bad, but because it is not competitive enough as an electric MPV, goes to show how far ahead Chinese EV market is
60-80k USD is waaaaay too expensive for the hyper competitive Chinese market. The Xpeng X9 is probably the best value for money modern electric MPV on the market today.
LiAuto Designer is Ben Baum, a German guy. This is what happens when talent wanders off to china to make great products which would have never come to life in the crippled german car industry. I have been in a LiAuto Rex hybrid BEV in China and it is amazing!
@@Comlb26the German energy prices are too high since Germany started buying gas from the US. German car factories are shutting down, many will loose their jobs. Production has to move abroad, China or US but since the tariffs in Europe, German car manufacturers can’t build in China anymore and are forced to move to the US. Trump said it let’s make German car makers American car makers. Biden did most though…
Was going to say... it looks as if you took a silver Generation 2 Prius and inflated it with a bicycle pump. And then lowered the suspension. I do not need a 3-row vehicle at all, but this looks pretty swank for a minivan form factor! Large family? Airport taxi? Luxury road tripper?
Switched from Tesla Model x, we had Li MEGA for 6 months. Hands down the best car I’ve ever owned. The kids also love it, we actually planned a lot of family trips just because they want to laidback on back seats to watch movies.
@martynrollinson nothing in the US is that close unless the max range is like 200. I want 350-400 miles range that can charge that fast, then it can truly compete with ICE.
@@Fldllse Thats not quite true. And the big 3 (Pilot/Flying J, Love's, and TA) are all starting to make massive investments. Combined with IONAA and Tesla more and more competing together, the million EVs sold every year are starting to turn heads. Tesla opening up to other cars and the standardization to NACS is pain short term, a blessing long term.
I drive a Chinese SUV in Dubai (among other cars) and also spend a lot of time at my home in the U.S. Americans are totally oblivious to the quality and variety of Chinese EVs conquering the world today. Different league of technology, software, features and build quality. Styling is also improving very quickly and quite a few models are very attractive. Bear in mind there were approx 600 Chinese EV startups a few years ago, maybe 30-50 brands remain today and are duking it out in the world’s most competitive and largest vehicle market.
All the features & quality at that price are incredible. they’d def have to figure something out on the vehicle styling IMO to mass market in the U.S. this is one of the better looking ones I’ve seen.
The remaining 35-40 chinese EV companies have fought a lot of competition and serve a great product to their customers, hence the quality. As they continue to fight domestically in China in the future, they will definitely start outdoing all other EVs in the world by more than a generation. I never imagined they'd grow so fast but looking at this review has made me realise that China has become the king of EVs now.
I remember reading an article where a Ford executive rode in one of those cars, and when he was asked his opinion, he said if these vehicles come stateside, we are dead. We would not sell another vehicle. The bottom line is that these vehicles are way past our vehicles. It's like we are still in the 90s, and they are in 2035.
Reminds me when Cadillac engineers disassembled a 1990 Lexus LS 400 for engineering analysis, they concluded that the vehicle simply could not be built using existing General Motors production methods.
@@carlossa243 Except the difference is that at least Toyota was an existing major global automaker when they unleashed the LS400 onto the global market. Now you've got Ford CEO Jim Farley flabbergasted at how good the SU7 is when it is made by XIAOMI, a phone and home appliance manufacturer who only decided to enter the car business in 2021, and by 2024 they've not only designed but also put into mass production an EV sedan which is an actual Tesla Model 3 killer, on their FIRST TRY. And not a low production model either, since Xiaomi has already cranked out over 100,000 units of the SU7 in like 7 months on the market.
BMW and VW can't sell an ICE car in china to save their lives. I have an Xpeng G6 and I saw the iX1 on show and laughed as I walked away. The slow response from the tiny screen, the overwhelming interior colors and the unappealing shape as most of all the inflated price... Really laughable.
I just come back from Guangzhou Auto show (Top3 auto show in China). My take is, now iPhone moment or even iPhone4s moment has arrived. Keep your tariff wall for Nokia high up.
Foreigner living in China here. What's funny is that chinese people joke that the Mega looks so much like their high speed trains, that there are wrap kits to add the numbers and colour scheme of the high speed train to it. Also, this level of comfort and stuff, honestly it's super normal here when buying an MPV (these kinds of soccer mom vans) and at the price point, the mega might not even be the best option from all of them. For example the X9 from Xpeng, Zeekr has their own offering as well, which doesn't even include the multitude of fuel ones which are finding it more and more difficult to justify their high prices here.
what's more funny is that Chinese people did not make fun of analogizing it with high speed train which was the brand's own marketing slogon. what the netizens did joking was saying Mega resembled so much of chinese coffins especially from the tailgate side view. Some people even added spooky filters on photosshots of parking slots where batches of Mega parked, that's very funny and irritate the ceo of the Mega a lot. You know Chinese are super superstitious😂😂😂.
Another cool feature which blew me away from my last visit to China, was you could point at something, and command the voice assistant. For example you could point at the windows and say "open that" or point at the screen and say "put it away" in Chinese. Very intuitive
You don't even need to point in the Li cars. Just say, "Open my window". By recognizing where you are in the car, it will open your window. Again... this is tech Li Auto used in the Li ONE back in 2019!
@@kungfuimaging_adamcraseyou are right. However the “point and command” feature is especially useful when you were trying to help others. For example, you can point at the left window while you were sitting in the left seat, and ask the car to “open that for my friend” etc. Or like if you are the driver, you can point finger at the right seat in the second row and say “turn on heating for my wife”.
I have owned a Li7 (smaller version of li9) max for about a year now back here in Russia. This is the best car I have ever driven so far. And a serial hybrid thing - very useful in our cold winters)
Mining lithium is a water guzzling extreme toxic pollution metal for the planets ocean and waters, it is way cheaper to mine toxic lithium than it is to recyle it and it is very difficult to recycle, this is why 99% is not, the pollution it causes to the planets ocean is not sustainable, its like a nuclear chernobl to the planets ocean every year, due to the heavy toxins and pollution in mining lithium, when a lithium car is still in the company assembly line it has already polluted more than a hydrogen fuel cell car that has been on the road for more than 125000 miles, the secret about hydrogen fuel cell cars is that each car actually cleans the air as it runs due to it`s clean watered electrolysis when released onto the atmosphere, hydrogen fuel cell cars have become remarkable cars with the new technology, fuel cell cars are the future not toxic lithium cars! we all have to start the switch!
It’s not that they don’t sell it in the US, it’s the fact that the US government has slapped a 100% duty on Chinese cars to prevent competition with American manufacturers
China paid for this one, they are desperately trying to get their junk on our market while simultaneously supporting Russia and Iran. We will not let cHINESE junk on our market, not until China lets go of Taiwan stops supporting Russia
@@Bk6346 haha so USA is the new China for China lol, full circle. I doubt it though wages and cost of living is too high in the USA, you have google engineers sleeping in caravans in SF. They will probably make them in another country e.g Mexico and ship them to the USA
You should also review brands like Zeeker, Nio and Xpeng, the premium Chinese brands are much more advanced products than what you get from the “traditional” brands.
As Americans, we should be able to purchase whatever vehicle fits our needs the best. And right now, we have basically three choices for minivans. Honda, Toyota, Chrysler.....
Zeekr's parent company is Geely, one of the largest automobile brands in China. Geely once acquired Volvo and currently has the world's top safety technology team and automobile styling designers. So this is not just a random brand car, but a future MPV that Geely has integrated with the most advanced technology in the automobile industry.
Last week I had guests coming over and after we had lunch we went outside the house to find an amazing looking car all blacked out and had their symbol taken off the bonnet. My guests were guessing that the car is a some Range Rover but me coming closer to the wheels and finding L7 on the center of the wheels I realized that it’s a Li Xiang 5 seater car. After I told them that and they walked around it taking some pictures and videos and after I told them about the price of the car that ranges between 50K-58K one of them told he wants one and now I’m ordering him his car since I do have an export office in China. Honestly the Li cars and the new Xiaomi SU7 are some incredible cars good value for money and I’m interested in living with both of these cars on a daily basis. Can’t wait for the review of the SU7 Max with all its advanced technology features, flawless design and helpful gadgets.
I live in China and own one of these cars. LiAuto is one of the best car brand you could find. When go out alone, I would rather drive MEGA than any other smaller car, because it’s like driving with your living room in the back. If you ever needed to take a nap or watch a movie, you just park and get to the back seat.
If this was available in America and I had the money for it, I would 100% buy one. If I had to choose, I lean towards the more traditional SUV version rather than the van simply for the look of it, but I’d still be happy with the van.
Plug in hybrid or Battery with extender make much more sense in North America

One of the commenter on here who owns one of the suv kind you prefer says that it has a range of over 1,000km(621+ miles). I think I'd get that one too for myself but the wife probably prefers the minivan type.
this is real, i was at china this summer, and in places in shenzhen even all the taxis are electric, there are so many ev on the road its not even a spectacle. in America you mostly see teslas which is like the mainstream ev that is n't even that good (apple of evs)
@@newslayer6956 Well it will be harder for any other new EV automobile company to rise now since Elon has direct influence in the government and will try to monopolize the market for Tesla

Wait, did he ever say _why_ we can't get this in the US? I don't have a family and even I would buy this thing. Just seems like an incredibly thoughtfully designed vehicle.
@@falsificationism andexpensive. i think its also very hard to get any insurance on it too if its imported. you have to pay for a shipping container on a boat!
@@oghenevwogagaodjugo612 You cannot. I tried to import my Li ONE but there were multiple barriers. just the cost would be stupid. Then, if anything happened to it you would have no service options. The car currently uses direct connections to Chinese-based servers, and they would need to offer local U.S.-based servers for many functions, as well as getting compliance certifications from the gov. These aren't happening any time soon, but boy, oh boy... They would disrupt this market like no other car.
This is supposed to cost around 60-80k usd? Bruh what the hell are the other manufacturers doing that their vehicles are so much more expensive and interior to this now
@@The_StanmanAmerica subsidised it's car industry too why are they still crazy expensive?70k for a entry level pick up truck to 120k for a pickup that's not considered a luxury car is nuts
This is why the US wants a o put high tariffs on Chinese vehicles. With the quality, appointments and price those things would destroy the American auto industry. Makes you realize how lazy and complaisant out manufacturers are.
FYI the reason is that the Chinese government is heavily investing in and subsidizing the Chinese auto manufacturers. Basically trying to destroy other countries’ auto industries so they are the only remaining game in town
Chinese are welcome to come set up factories in the united states if they want to compete in the US market. Just like US automakers were forced to set up factories in china.
Americans want to complain that they're not getting paid enough, but want to buy products that are made with semi slave wages. My brother works for Chrysler, of course we could have cheaper products if he wasn't making 70k a year.
Definitely the L9 would be my #1 choice. Don't know how many times I've dreamt about this as the best hybrid system. Imagine charging your car without an external charger. Awesome
Yah, the upcoming Scout also has a gasoline-generator for the battery. Bye bye range anxiety. Pure ev for the city/commute and use the generator if you're on a long-trip or off-road. Seems like a no-brainer.
There’s a minus, remember my word, I have Li Auto L6, great vehicle, BUT... i just measured magnetic field in it. At the left foot (platform) it measures 50-60 MicroTeslas … butt level is 3-5-6 microteslas, head level is 0.8-1 microteslas, under the drivers door is 70-80 microteslas (your foot is never there, but)… so if I switch to “Electric” mode, this level getting lower - a lot lower … but anyway - it’s way higher numbers, than in Tesla or on Zeekr 001 (cool Chinese ev) of my friend.
This vehicle literally is the dream. They nailed it, it’d be hard for another car company to get this much done right. It definitely has to come to Australia.
I'm from southeast asia, all the japanese brands are shit*ing their pants right now, the new Chinese brands are popping up every few months and offers much better designs & features with significantly lower price. It's just a matter of time before the domination of Japanese brands end.
I used to live in Russia before I moved to LA, and now whenever I visit Moscow I see an abundance of Chinese EVs, LiXiang L7 and L9 have been one of the leaders, Zeekr is a big one too. Don't know if MKBHD has reviewed it yet but there you go, thank me later. Alas, the US govt won't allow these monsters to enter their market, especially with Musk taking part in local politics.
@Jadzim27 yea no problem except they might take you to the interrogation room at the Moscow airport 😋 However there’s an automated system for customs now at most of the airports in Moscow-you scan your passport, then proceed forward and take a picture-no stamps, no questions asked. As long as your passport is issued in the last 3 years or so. In LA no one cares as long as you have the blue passport, and since I was born here (albeit grew up in Moscow Russia), I am a citizen.
Yea unlike erupe and russia we love to support our national auto makers, that’s why you don’t see chinese crap all over the US and i hope we never will, ev’s are okay but we can build them here in the US and support local automakers instead of china ccp.

@@rsplines12 Ride height and snow. Someone not from the North would never know or bother. Of course I saw way more lifted pickups in the South, so I guess a lot of somebodies preparing for either Snowpiercer or Waterworld.
@@Varadiio There's tradeoffs, I'd rather drive a FWD Pacifica with chains/snow tires than, say a RAV4 if I were going up a mountain to ski. The extra weight of a minivan gives it a lot more traction, not to mention the massive amount of extra gear/people/pets you can haul.
@@Ahwleung. I don't know the mountains. Midwest you can't use chains, and they don't matter much anyway, because once you get snow to the bottom of your chassis, you're like an upside-down turtle. The only solution at that point is either ride height or distributing the weight more like with the tracked wheel conversions. The classic mentality up here is to have a summer car and a truck because a little blizzard isn't gonna cancel the shift at quickie-mart. It's more about the right tool for the right job, but these SUVs and crossovers took off. They're lifted just enough, have power that's just enough, and offroad ability just enough. Most of them are hideous compromises, but like you, people want something that just works all the time. If it's roomier than the truck, can get through snow better than the sedan, it's good enough for most daily tasks year-round. Hopefully they don't notice what it says on the title: "STATION WAGON"
My 94 Toyota estima minivan that recently died had amazing ground clearance, around 25cm, I think the future is adjustable suspension that lifts the car so you can go off road in your electric minivan when needed

taking a pass from most of the comments in this section to say that a steering wheel-mounted digital dash feels very unique, and I like that design a lot. EDIT: The fact that all of these features are included standard at like an 80 grand price point is unreal. I understand why Elon's scared of Chinese EV manufacturers.
The US market segments stuff typically into 3 levels, base, mid and high spec and even then you have to purchase certain options. I’m an expat in Malaysia, the Chinese cars here are pretty much loaded with the exception being battery size (along with range and charging speed). I recently saw the Zeekr X and Xpeng G6, shortly after they were launched and posted videos on them. The Zeekr X shares platform with the Volvo EX30 and it is much better equipped and cost less. It’s sad that Volvo didn’t have the EX30 the kind of features as the Zeekr X. The 009 was also on display and is really a luxurious vehicle.
Yes, this would be an absolute game changer for our family of 5. It has insane features, insane space, and is the first vehicle to bring the minivan styling into a futuristic, cool place. 10/10
First you’ve ever seen. Definitely not the first in China 😂. Chinese EV market is wild and MPVs are a popular category that is almost non existent isn’t the US and Europe
That L9 is close to my dream car. Ever since the Top Gear episode where they made a hybrid system that had gas engine just for charging the battery, I was obsessed with that concept and always wondered why no one makes that kind of a car. That combined with simple, useful luxury this vehicle offers makes it just insane for me ;P
As a Chinese consumer living in Shanghai, I feel so spoiled by so many new and interesting EVs popping up every month. It's just great to see every car company here rushing to launch new cars with more indegineous and home grown tech. Li MEGA was launched almost a year ago and it almost felt obsolete. It kind of feels surreal to see it reviewed by you MKBHD! Btw, if you hav the chance, please do review the AITO M9. It is the most competitive domestive electric luxury SUV in China. It obliterated X5, range rover, Caynne etc since launch.
Haha thats right! This car is a flop here in China! Its true, the Chinese thinks it looks too much like a Coffin or the car that carries a Coffin. Go Figure! What a waste of all that R&D! I think it looks great!
We have loads of Li cars in Russia, and the Li9 and Li7 are hits, selling a lot of cars here. After Mercedes, Range Rover, BMW and other Western premium car brands left, the Chinese brands invaded the market, and Li is just one of them. Zeekr is a hit too here, check them out.
I am impressed that a Chinese company came up with a mini van design that is revolutionary. Many bold designs originate from Europe, and recently Korea, and of course, the Cybertruck. I applaud Li Xiang for its boldness and confidence, and is the first example where I think a Chinese EV is not just designing within the box, but creating its own design language.
The voice assistant in this car is actually amazing.If you ask it to open the window(or other tasks), it can figure out where you’re sitting and only open the window next to you. Plus, you can give multiple commands at once, like “close the window, turn down the temperature, and play [song name],” and it will understand everything and complete the tasks one by one perfectly.
I can imagine this car as the mom in an EV family with the cyber truck as the dad. It's like in some movies or shows they make the dad character very broad and brutalist, and the mom is usually softer and sleak.
Cybersuck isn't even that macho looking. If you really want a macho looking electric truck/SUV, look up the similarly priced Dongfeng M-Hero 917 Dragon Armor Edition...
Worth noting, the heater in the back wasn't designed for baby formula lol. In China they only drink boiled water, not cold. Sounds insane to a westerner but for them it's normal!
Have an L9 Bach home in Moscow, honestly after switching from bmw x7 there’s almost no difference in built quality and safety, Americans are so oblivious to the products quality made by local Chinese brands that it’s hilarious, but they are happy to buy electronics and other goods of big brands made at the same Chinese factory’s.
The UX in this car is pretty fantastic. I love the screen on the steering wheel instead of having a driver display on the dash blocked by the wheel itself.

I drive a Chinese SUV in Dubai (among other cars) and also spend a lot of time at my home in the U.S. Americans are totally oblivious to the quality and variety of Chinese EVs conquering the world today. Different league of technology, software, features and build quality. Styling is also improving very quickly and quite a few models are very attractive. Bear in mind there were approx 600 Chinese EV startups a few years ago, maybe 30-50 brands remain today and are duking it out in the world’s most competitive and largest vehicle market.
Appreciate your observation
All the features & quality at that price are incredible. they’d def have to figure something out on the vehicle styling IMO to mass market in the U.S. this is one of the better looking ones I’ve seen.
The remaining 35-40 chinese EV companies have fought a lot of competition and serve a great product to their customers, hence the quality. As they continue to fight domestically in China in the future, they will definitely start outdoing all other EVs in the world by more than a generation. I never imagined they'd grow so fast but looking at this review has made me realise that China has become the king of EVs now.

And not a low production model either, since Xiaomi has already cranked out over 100,000 units of the SU7 in like 7 months on the market.
BMW and VW can't sell an ICE car in china to save their lives. I have an Xpeng G6 and I saw the iX1 on show and laughed as I walked away. The slow response from the tiny screen, the overwhelming interior colors and the unappealing shape as most of all the inflated price... Really laughable.

Foreigner living in China here. What's funny is that chinese people joke that the Mega looks so much like their high speed trains, that there are wrap kits to add the numbers and colour scheme of the high speed train to it. Also, this level of comfort and stuff, honestly it's super normal here when buying an MPV (these kinds of soccer mom vans) and at the price point, the mega might not even be the best option from all of them. For example the X9 from Xpeng, Zeekr has their own offering as well, which doesn't even include the multitude of fuel ones which are finding it more and more difficult to justify their high prices here.
Was in China saw one on the highway, white and blue with CRH on the side.

@@ziyunchen2191 glad that the brainwashing is going away since more Chinese nowadays buy local cars and tech
BTW Cadillac XT5 is between $30k-40k in China.
what's more funny is that Chinese people did not make fun of analogizing it with high speed train which was the brand's own marketing slogon. what the netizens did joking was saying Mega resembled so much of chinese coffins especially from the tailgate side view. Some people even added spooky filters on photosshots of parking slots where batches of Mega parked, that's very funny and irritate the ceo of the Mega a lot. You know Chinese are super superstitious😂😂😂.
Another cool feature which blew me away from my last visit to China, was you could point at something, and command the voice assistant. For example you could point at the windows and say "open that" or point at the screen and say "put it away" in Chinese. Very intuitive
You don't even need to point in the Li cars. Just say, "Open my window". By recognizing where you are in the car, it will open your window. Again... this is tech Li Auto used in the Li ONE back in 2019!
@@kungfuimaging_adamcraseyou are right. However the “point and command” feature is especially useful when you were trying to help others. For example, you can point at the left window while you were sitting in the left seat, and ask the car to “open that for my friend” etc. Or like if you are the driver, you can point finger at the right seat in the second row and say “turn on heating for my wife”.

Last week I had guests coming over and after we had lunch we went outside the house to find an amazing looking car all blacked out and had their symbol taken off the bonnet. My guests were guessing that the car is a some Range Rover but me coming closer to the wheels and finding L7 on the center of the wheels I realized that it’s a Li Xiang 5 seater car. After I told them that and they walked around it taking some pictures and videos and after I told them about the price of the car that ranges between 50K-58K one of them told he wants one and now I’m ordering him his car since I do have an export office in China.

You still can, and should charge at least once a week, as you get a ton of monthly savings using the EV only mode instead of the hybrid only mode.
Yah, the upcoming Scout also has a gasoline-generator for the battery. Bye bye range anxiety. Pure ev for the city/commute and use the generator if you're on a long-trip or off-road. Seems like a no-brainer.
The suspension of L9 is way too soft.
super inefficient though
There’s a minus, remember my word, I have Li Auto L6, great vehicle, BUT... i just measured magnetic field in it. At the left foot (platform) it measures 50-60 MicroTeslas … butt level is 3-5-6 microteslas, head level is 0.8-1 microteslas, under the drivers door is 70-80 microteslas (your foot is never there, but)… so if I switch to “Electric” mode, this level getting lower - a lot lower … but anyway - it’s way higher numbers, than in Tesla or on Zeekr 001 (cool Chinese ev) of my friend.
This vehicle literally is the dream. They nailed it, it’d be hard for another car company to get this much done right. It definitely has to come to Australia.

You had better believe that he knows _exactly_ what he's doing when he reviews this vehicle on this channel.
@@alistairwillock7266 he has been on this side of reviewing unobtainable tech for US/EU/outside china videos for some time. Let's put it this way... these cars will NEVER sell in U.S. or EU. But cudos to him about making the video about it. What's this part about second car/SUV being hybrid, he didn't explain how exactly is that powertrain working which is essentially most importnat part of the car for most people.
In China, minivans/vans that look like this are called 面包车, which directly translates to "loaf of bread car“ and nothing epitomizes that more than this.
Perfect description. May I please ask how the word is pronounced?
@@DrRussell mien bow (like take a bow) chuh (in the official Chinese pinyin romanisation it's "mian bao che")
@ thank you kindly Sir, will definitely use this!
Ngl, driving a loaf of bread sounds awesome
@@TheHuskyK9 lol not really, during the poor development period in most Asian countries, all you saw were these types of white square minivans. It's quite a boring sight for Asians.
It's always funny when a younger adult male has his first experience with a minivan. The ride, the space, the functionality... all so amazing the first time you experience it. Marques, it's ok to love it, just don't sell your 911 to make room for it in the garage.
Old man here. The Mini van is 10000x superior to the SUV. The only reason to SUV is off roading which 98.125% of SUV owners don't do.
@@rsplines12 Ride height and snow. Someone not from the North would never know or bother. Of course I saw way more lifted pickups in the South, so I guess a lot of somebodies preparing for either Snowpiercer or Waterworld.
@@Varadiio There's tradeoffs, I'd rather drive a FWD Pacifica with chains/snow tires than, say a RAV4 if I were going up a mountain to ski. The extra weight of a minivan gives it a lot more traction, not to mention the massive amount of extra gear/people/pets you can haul.
@@Ahwleung. I don't know the mountains. Midwest you can't use chains, and they don't matter much anyway, because once you get snow to the bottom of your chassis, you're like an upside-down turtle. The only solution at that point is either ride height or distributing the weight more like with the tracked wheel conversions.
The classic mentality up here is to have a summer car and a truck because a little blizzard isn't gonna cancel the shift at quickie-mart. It's more about the right tool for the right job, but these SUVs and crossovers took off. They're lifted just enough, have power that's just enough, and offroad ability just enough. Most of them are hideous compromises, but like you, people want something that just works all the time. If it's roomier than the truck, can get through snow better than the sedan, it's good enough for most daily tasks year-round. Hopefully they don't notice what it says on the title: "STATION WAGON"
My 94 Toyota estima minivan that recently died had amazing ground clearance, around 25cm, I think the future is adjustable suspension that lifts the car so you can go off road in your electric minivan when needed
It’s surprising how people are only scratching the surface and don’t take the time to read Uncommon Paths to Wealth by Borlest. Go out of the rabbit hole guys

Just move to meters and Celsius as any self respecting scientist does.
USAmericans seem to have a real difficulty with metric. My landlord, an American, has lived in Central America for twenty years now. He still does temperatures in Fahrenheit, and looks confused when I use metric. He doesn't drive, so no need for kilometres. As one example of many that I've experienced.
Yeah they don't make sense to me at all
He was doing 160kmh then 🗿
mph works better for racing games and thats it lol
@@Padlock_Steve how?
Chinese product design top notch! The UI/UX, the hardware, CMF, performance, the engineering, everything.
are you a bot or just stupid?
Designed by a German apparently, but yes the Chinese are also designing and making some amazing cars
The designer of this car designed the 992.1 Porsche 911
@@hwyd great! But just to clarify product design doesn’t just mean the look, it is the consumer experience, where should the button be, what features matter the most, it is bridging the gap between engineering limitations, specifications and human interaction. They are also making the best in industry drones, 3d printers.

@@StackaliICE sales have been declining every year since 2016. So I think it’s fair to say ICE is dead
Gotta go fast!
China paid for this one, they are desperately trying to get their junk on our market while simultaneously supporting Russia and Iran. We will not let your cHINESE junk on our market, not until China le go of Taiwan stops supporting Russia
Minivan to SUV transition was awesome!
its more like a van as i thought.
taking a pass from most of the comments in this section to say that a steering wheel-mounted digital dash feels very unique, and I like that design a lot.
EDIT: The fact that all of these features are included standard at like an 80 grand price point is unreal. I understand why Elon's scared of Chinese EV manufacturers.
The US market segments stuff typically into 3 levels, base, mid and high spec and even then you have to purchase certain options. I’m an expat in Malaysia, the Chinese cars here are pretty much loaded with the exception being battery size (along with range and charging speed). I recently saw the Zeekr X and Xpeng G6, shortly after they were launched and posted videos on them. The Zeekr X shares platform with the Volvo EX30 and it is much better equipped and cost less. It’s sad that Volvo didn’t have the EX30 the kind of features as the Zeekr X. The 009 was also on display and is really a luxurious vehicle.
The base Lixiang L6 SUV is reselling for $40k in Russia brand new with 20miles on the dash. Heard it's about $30k from the factory in China.
35K USD for basic model in China
Yes, this would be an absolute game changer for our family of 5. It has insane features, insane space, and is the first vehicle to bring the minivan styling into a futuristic, cool place. 10/10
The hyundai staria is a close option in the non electric options
First you’ve ever seen. Definitely not the first in China 😂. Chinese EV market is wild and MPVs are a popular category that is almost non existent isn’t the US and Europe
That L9 is close to my dream car. Ever since the Top Gear episode where they made a hybrid system that had gas engine just for charging the battery, I was obsessed with that concept and always wondered why no one makes that kind of a car. That combined with simple, useful luxury this vehicle offers makes it just insane for me ;P
GM already made that car. It's called the Volt. It is discontinued....stupidly.
Bmw i3 before already did that
LI AUTO has L6,7,8,9 line up all in that mode,. But if you like pick up trucks, BYD shark is using the same technology and it's available in Mexico
0:44 Surely I can’t be the first person to note that this is what happens when a Cybertruck conceives a child with a Prius?
Use protection
...or a Previa minivan, remember them? (Also a Toyota; the great-grandmother of the Prius, I'll bet)
Previa+Cybertruck!
As a Chinese consumer living in Shanghai, I feel so spoiled by so many new and interesting EVs popping up every month. It's just great to see every car company here rushing to launch new cars with more indegineous and home grown tech.
Li MEGA was launched almost a year ago and it almost felt obsolete. It kind of feels surreal to see it reviewed by you MKBHD!
Btw, if you hav the chance, please do review the AITO M9. It is the most competitive domestive electric luxury SUV in China. It obliterated X5, range rover, Caynne etc since launch.
13:54 nice transition there. I thought you were in the van but turns out u were in the SUV, lol.
Yes! The only indication was probably that everything was black inside lol.
The interior is identical on both cars so you wouldn't know which one you were in purely from the inside view as well.
@ look at the screen at the centre top. It’s beige in the first car and black in second.
@@d3stiny117 At first glance, if you don’t pay too much attention to the interior, you wouldn’t know.
thanks for keeping EV minivan videos coming. I really enjoyed this!

This is the ideal car body. You may not like it, but this is what peak comfort looks like.
people in china hated this car because it looks like a coffin. But i personally like the design, very unique.
it's weird in typical chinese point of view, I think Chinese prefer SUVs
Unique like hating the Cybertruck, hypocrisy hahaha!
Haha thats right! This car is a flop here in China! Its true, the Chinese thinks it looks too much like a Coffin or the car that carries a Coffin. Go Figure! What a waste of all that R&D! I think it looks great!
it looks like an inflated toyota prius 2nd gen not a coffin lol!!!

We have loads of Li cars in Russia, and the Li9 and Li7 are hits, selling a lot of cars here. After Mercedes, Range Rover, BMW and other Western premium car brands left, the Chinese brands invaded the market, and Li is just one of them. Zeekr is a hit too here, check them out.
That transition at 14 minutes. Chefs kiss. Had to go back and watch it because I didn't even know what happened.

I am impressed that a Chinese company came up with a mini van design that is revolutionary. Many bold designs originate from Europe, and recently Korea, and of course, the Cybertruck. I applaud Li Xiang for its boldness and confidence, and is the first example where I think a Chinese EV is not just designing within the box, but creating its own design language.
The hidden Dominic Toretto in the back @6:30 lol
The voice assistant in this car is actually amazing.If you ask it to open the window(or other tasks), it can figure out where you’re sitting and only open the window next to you. Plus, you can give multiple commands at once, like “close the window, turn down the temperature, and play [song name],” and it will understand everything and complete the tasks one by one perfectly.
The only downside is that you have to know Chinese to use it. :(
I can imagine this car as the mom in an EV family with the cyber truck as the dad. It's like in some movies or shows they make the dad character very broad and brutalist, and the mom is usually softer and sleak.
That’s hella funny and sounds accurate
Cybersuck isn't even that macho looking. If you really want a macho looking electric truck/SUV, look up the similarly priced Dongfeng M-Hero 917 Dragon Armor Edition...
Fitting because sitcom dads are always idiots buying stupid, impractical things that are dangerous in order to compensate for their own insecurities.
Worth noting, the heater in the back wasn't designed for baby formula lol. In China they only drink boiled water, not cold. Sounds insane to a westerner but for them it's normal!
Have an L9 Bach home in Moscow, honestly after switching from bmw x7 there’s almost no difference in built quality and safety, Americans are so oblivious to the products quality made by local Chinese brands that it’s hilarious, but they are happy to buy electronics and other goods of big brands made at the same Chinese factory’s.
Perhaps Americans are not indifferent, just because they can't access China's new energy vehicles.
If it’s good enough for you, then it’s good enough for me as well.
Not good enough for Trump though. You will never get this car. Be happy with your over priced American vehicles!😂
This is the slickest minivan in the world - coefficient of drag: 0.215
Don't always believe the numbers from the Chinese...

@@martynrollinson Get lost and digest it.
@@martynrollinson typical China expert🤣
The UX in this car is pretty fantastic. I love the screen on the steering wheel instead of having a driver display on the dash blocked by the wheel itself.
Nice transition at 13:47. The editor earns +1 to Redemption
+200 cringe for this post you fucking dweeb
He says it looks “Jetsons”, but the obvious comparison is with the Star Trek TNG Shuttlecraft
Yes! Finally some good Chinese EVs. Please get a Zeekr to review.
Mate it looks so akward hahahah
I wish the US could have vehicles from other countries because half the times there are better than what we have now
