Shanghai Auto Show 2025 - Every Car. Every Stand. In 4K. The Only FULL Walkthrough. Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 Hello. Welcome to Inside China Auto and welcome to the Shanghai Auto Show 2025. Honestly, I'm psyching myself up a little bit because this is going to be a big one. It's a massive show. Our last Shanghai video was about 3 and 1/2 hours long. So, settle in, get a drink. If you want to come back and do this video in stages, do so at your leisure. However you want to watch this video. It'll be a long one, but we're going to see every single car from the Shanghai Auto Show
• 00:30 - 01:00 2025. We've got eight holes to go around. More than 100 brands to cover. As ever with this video, I'll do a little counter in the top corner over there, one of those corners where we count the Chinese brands. Some you can debate whether they're Chinese or not. If they're half half joint ventures, like Smart, for example, maybe I won't count them. Maybe I'll count them as a half. Let's see. But we've got a lot of new stuff going on here. Here we've got a lot of new production cars, a lot of new concept cars, and some real trends to follow, including a big fight back
• 01:00 - 01:30 from the non-Chinese brands. So, without further ado, let's get started. So, I'm going to spin the camera around now and we'll start as ever in Shanghai with the the home favorites, let's call it, the the home market. So, SIC, Shanghai Automotive, this is their home turf. They always tend to bring some new stuff here. What we're going to do is go around this hall. So, we'll start on the right with MG and we'll come back around
• 01:30 - 02:00 to Wrongway. Over here, you might see it as row. That's that's how it's spelled, but the Chinese pronunciation is Wrongway. Of course, SEIC have a few brands. MG is one. Wrongway is the other. They have Rising, which is part of Wrongway now. It used to be a brand on its own. Now, it's back part of Rising again. Part of Wrongway again. They've got IM going abroad into some markets as as IM presented by MG Motors. And they've got Maxis as well. And of course, they build some other foreign cars here in China as well. But the big
• 02:00 - 02:30 thing on the MG stand, as well as a few small updates to the MG Cyber, I believe, is this, the Cyber X concept car. So, it's our first concept car of the show. Reminds me a lot of the Iicar V23 in terms of its overall proportions. Very chunky. You'll notice also the pop-up headlights. Now, this is clearly a prototype because one of them has got stuck up, unless it's winking at me, but I'm not sure. One of them has got stuck up. Now, these are generally all handmade, these prototypes, so that kind
• 02:30 - 03:00 of thing can happen. Kind of a technical glitch in there, but I think that's quite funky. I like it boxy styling, like the compact footprint. It's clearly got some good ground clearance under there as well. So, it looks like it should be a genuine off-roader. This one might be a four-seater like the V23. Not entirely sure. Might be a five-seater. They haven't given us any interior shots of the Cyber X, but that is MG's second Cyber car. The other one, of course, is the Cyberster. We'll take a quick look at it. They also have the MG5, which is
• 03:00 - 03:30 getting on a bit now, and the MG6 also getting on a bit, and the MG7. Now, this one actually might make it to international markets eventually. It's been around for a while, but they haven't actually taken it to international markets yet. Tell me if you like the look of that, cuz I do. I think that looks absolutely fantastic. But this is the Cyster here, of course, with the scissor doors. Have a quick look at the cabin. It's four screen layout. You got three behind the driver there, behind the steering wheel, and one just down in the middle. Looks pretty much the same cosmetically to the
• 03:30 - 04:00 the original Cyber. So, I'm not sure if there are any changes to that or not. Nice paint color, though. I do like that. And there's another black one in the back corner, but I'm not sure if they're going to maybe make a more sporty version of it. This one's got a carbon fiber bonnet with Morris Garages on it. How far that company has changed from its uh original title, but MG, we're going to call that our first Chinese company because they are now 100% owned in China and they pretty much
• 04:00 - 04:30 do most of their stuff here even though they're still headquartered in the UK in London apparently. Now one of the other things that SEI do sic do is they build Volkswagens. So Volkswagen have two partners in China actually three I believe that make make cars for them. FAW First Automotive Works is one and SIC is the other. And this is the one that the Volkswagen have come to the show with three concepts. This is the
• 04:30 - 05:00 one from SLIC. It's called the ID era. And they haven't really shown us much of the inside. You see the the windows and doors are closed. We can't get onto the stage. But this one is Volkswagen's first extended range vehicle. It's a six-seater full size SUV. And it's really part of their fightback here in China cuz we've I mean I myself have complained about Volkswagen a lot that they've been really slow with their tech and they've had problems with Kiad, their software company. Well, this looks
• 05:00 - 05:30 pretty neat. This is very much got the the Volkswagen DNA about it. It's got soft soft lines that also have some kind of strength to them at the same time. It sounds like marketing speak that, doesn't it? But I like this. This is the the ID era. Let me just slide through here. Now, one of the great things actually about the Shanghai show this year is it does feel like there are less people on the press days. So, we might be able to get much more closer to cars than we would otherwise. But there you go. That is an extended range EV.
• 05:30 - 06:00 Volkswagen's first. That one is not built on the platform that Xpong has given to them. They've also got cars like the Lamando L over there. They've got a GTX version of the ID3 over here. So that's probably kind of a a soft softly sporty version of the ID3. Can we get inside to see if they've done anything with the interior? Got games console controllers there. Look at that. So I assume you can play games on it. This of course is one of the old original MEB platform ones. So, they got these rubbish kind of capacitive touch
• 06:00 - 06:30 buttons there for your your vents and the the two wind the two screen two switches over there for your windows which you have to press another button to change your to open your rear windows but hopefully they're moving away from that with the the new brand of stuff. Got a Pat Pro here. You'll recognize some of these brands from Europe. I'm not even sure if they still sell a Pat in Europe. And then one second. There we go. Also this one which has a different Chinese Tiguan L Pro which of course is a European model but that's the big deal
• 06:30 - 07:00 here on the SEIC Volkswagen stand with the ID era. They've also got ID Aura and ID Evo and you'll get to those in a moment. So then Audi. Now this is SEIC Audi. So sic also build Audi's here in China as do FAW but the the new Audi with Oh actually it is it is over here. There we go. That's good. Let's see if we can get over to this one. Audi as you may know
• 07:00 - 07:30 have launched an a Chinaon Audi brand which doesn't have four rings has four letters. This stand is literally written on the the the show planners. Audi four rings, Audi 4 letters. So, here it is. This is the Audi E5. If you can get a look at that around all these cleaners. They're clearly setting up here to have some kind of live show. There you go. So, that's the production version of a car that we saw last year. Sorry, I'm trying
• 07:30 - 08:00 to do a zoom. There we go. So, that's the Audi E5. The security guard would be kind enough to stand backwards. That would be nice, but don't think he's going to. So, it looks actually very much the same as the Audi. I think it was called the E Concept. Let's see if I can just slide in here just for one moment. See if I can just one. There we go. So, this guy's going to let me in. Let's just quickly get a good look at this car from the front. There you go. So, you see there's no four rings on the grill. So,
• 08:00 - 08:30 it's got kind of lighting around the outside of the grill. Let's have a quick step up here. I'll just try and zoom back out again actually so we can get ourselves a full view. And there you go. So, got lights across the plastic grill there. Try and be really quick here so I don't annoy them before they set up for the show. Let's have a quick look into the window. Look at the interior. That's really quite nice in there. They've got dual wireless chargers. They've got some microfiber suede across the the dash rails there at the bottom. Got a fabric here all across
• 08:30 - 09:00 the back. They've got a full width screen from side to side. And as you can see, also camera mirrors, too. So, your little screens for your mirrors are in there. Very sort of German aesthetics in there. That's a that's a reflection of a lady on the wall. That's not on the actually printed on the seat. And then they've got this kind of assistant here. I'm not sure if I can point with my finger. That black bit in the middle of the dashboard there, that's like their live assistant. So, she can you can talk to that and she'll do cool things. Let's get a quick look at the back end as well from closeup. Would like to see inside the boot there, but we can't. Yeah,
• 09:00 - 09:30 that's the E5 Sportback. So, Volk Audi are planning three three cars in this this Audi Audi four letters. They're planning three cars in China in 2025. So, we'll probably get another concept maybe at the Changdu Auto Show if not before that. Notice also there's a LAR unit on top of the screen as well. This one should be able to do some level of autonomous driving. that we have to be careful about what we say about autonomous driving now because the rules
• 09:30 - 10:00 in China have changed slightly after a few accidents that have happened recently. People basically just giving over full control to the car and not paying attention. The government has decided to step in and say we got to be more careful about the wording now. It's basically supervised driving just like FSD supervised basically. And here we got the A5L Sportback, but I think that's all also in international markets already. So yeah, these Volkswagen Audi,
• 10:00 - 10:30 I won't call those Chinese brands, even though I mean technically is is Audi is that a Chinese brand given that they're made here? It's built, by the way, on an sic platform from IM. That logo just over there. We'll go over to those in a minute. It's built on the I think it's called the Nebula platform. I could be wrong with the name. 800 volt. Pretty good. Getting a few beeps here from the Wooling stand. Good to see
• 10:30 - 11:00 Wooling at the show again. This is the five door. The five door Hong Guang. You can't buy it, I don't think, with this nice furry coating on it. They've covered the entire car in this. Look, even inside the car, you got fur over the seats, fur on the steering wheel. There's a big thing about capy bars going on in social media these days and they're making everything like a capy bar. I don't know what it's all about, but there you go. Let's see if you get a bit more space in the boot. I don't even know how to get into the boot on this
• 11:00 - 11:30 cuz I can't get the handle. Let's try it on this car instead. See if this lady will scooch out the way for us. There we go. Do we get any more more space in the back of a five door William Hong Wang? Yes, I'd say that's that's more than you get in the standard version. And a bit more boot, a bit more leg space in the back as well. Interior setup's relatively similar with two fairly small screens there at the front. And no panoramic roof on this car either, but this is cheap and cheerful. You can pick this one up for
• 11:30 - 12:00 about 60 thou maybe 50,000 R&B. It is of course an EV. probably has about a 30 kW motor, so it it'll toot along quite nicely, but it's not a super car. They've also shown they're also showing us the 2025 Shinguang, which is their saloon. See if I can get inside. See, have a look inside. I haven't driven this one yet. I'd like to, so I'm not entirely sure what's changed. They've got a racy looking paint job on that one. One car I will show you though,
• 12:00 - 12:30 very quickly, is this one. Look at this. This is their K car. And I honestly can't remember the name of it. It's not really a K car cuz it is bigger than a K car, but it looks like one. Little boxy fronts. This is kind of like Wooling's bread and butter. This little vans. There are tons of Wooling vans all over China. But a sliding rear door there. And this Wow, look at the look at the door. It's basically metal inside with a leather handle. Uh cheap plastic door handle there. But you've got an actual
• 12:30 - 13:00 genuine le well it looks like genuine leather on the dashboard there. Not sure if it really is or not. Lots of chrome stuff including place to put your cigarette out. Fabric down here. Kind of a stitched pattern and all over the seats as well. Look at those. Super retro style. And then you still get of course your usual plasticky stuff in the middle there. That's actually almost like rubber. Few little controls in the middle there. Little retro radio with a USB A socket on it. And wow, they've got
• 13:00 - 13:30 like metal. I don't think this is on the standard version. They've put that up there so they can put a fishing rod on it. There's a fishing rod over there. Look. So, this is obviously a kind of a slightly dolled up version for the show. Very interesting little car that they're super cheap, by the way. They're also electric, so you can enjoy all the electric features of a little spacious van. Let me quickly have a look at the Shing Guang over here. They also of course have this one which is also called the Shinguang
• 13:30 - 14:00 but this one is the Shinguang S. Seem to like the name Shing Wuang. There we go. So, pretty neat looking SUV. Let's dive into the Shinguang Saloon. Now, Wooling have come so far since I first came to China this time back in 2022. I mean, that's a pretty big screen in the middle there. Can we make it come on? They've not got the battery charger, I don't think, on this, which is weird for a show. One wireless charger, few physical switches, but
• 14:00 - 14:30 overall pretty nice, if not inspired interior there. Some kind of fake marble design on the dashboard. Yeah, not bad. And quite a lot of space in the back as well. Quite a lot of space in the back. Neat looking car that neat looking saloon. And you can get that in a hybrid version as well. I think that one is the hybrid version, but you can get electric version of that also. Now, next up, oh, by the way, the
• 14:30 - 15:00 reason they're in this hall is because they're part of SGMW, which is Psych General Motors Wooling. So, it's a kind of a joint venture with General Motors. actually probably the only profitable part of General Motors in China at the moment because Wooling absolutely smashed their sales every year with about 80,000 sales a month. This is a Maxis Max Chari van. Chargi is a branded tea shop in China. So, they're selling some of those here.
• 15:00 - 15:30 Maxis, of course, in several international markets. Originally a British brand, I believe, but they got a pickup truck. People walking around with balloon dogs here, which is quite fun. And then a pickup truck with a a camper van on the back of it. Let's see if they've got anything new over at the back of Maxis. I'm not entirely sure what they had before, but they obviously going pretty big on the pickups here. They don't sell many pickups in China. It's not a massive pickup truck market, but other markets like Australia, South
• 15:30 - 16:00 Africa, Brazil, they're big markets for pickup trucks. This one looks like a very meaty looking thing. Look at the size of that. That's a huge pickup. If you think that's big big, wait until we get to the GAC stand. But very useful amount of space in the back there if you're a if you're a a contractor or a construction man, something like that. Of course, they do MPVs as well. They're not really making a big deal about those at the moment, it seems. And camper vans. Let's have a quick dive in
• 16:00 - 16:30 here. There's a Maxis camper van. That looks pretty nice in there. You got a bed over the cabin, dining table over there, probably a sink up here, I guess. Yeah, that's pretty nice. Decent looking driving seats as well. But yeah, this is the Mi 9, I think. Good looking MPV. They got a G50 over there. This one's electric, by the way. This one over there, I don't think is electric. By the way, I am doing this
• 16:30 - 17:00 video in 4K. That was the that was the general request from the the audience. So, thank you for your input onto that as to what kind of video you wanted. So, I've I've reduced the frame rate because we're not doing sexy sexy shots of the cars here, but we've got 4K. So, you should get this in all of its brilliance. Now, we got Bao Jun. They're basically a a partner brand of Wooling. So, they're both made in Leojo, which is in Guangshi Province, I believe. As I said, three years ago, they were making pretty dire cars. Not
• 17:00 - 17:30 not very good. They've come so far in the last three years. It's incredible the kind of cars they're making. This is basically like the sister car to the Shing Wuang Saloon that we just saw a minute ago. And I'm going to see if I can slide around to Let's check this black one out here. No one's in this. This lady's getting a photograph taken. This guy's not filming, is he? I don't think so. There you go. That's the interior of the Bow Jun. That's actually pretty nice. So, we've got fabric speakers on the doors here. This is all
• 17:30 - 18:00 soft touch materials on here. Lovely sort of leather seats, leather center console, wireless charger on there. Same big screen in the middle. Probably running the same Ling OS that you get in other Woolings and fabric on the bottom surfaces as well. Nice return for fabric. I have to say sorry. I do like cars with fabric in them. Polestars and Volvos are pretty nice with their fabric inside. And look at that's actually a really good looking car, too. Super sleek full width light bar across the back just looped around either end. Really nice. And the SUV version is this
• 18:00 - 18:30 one which is called the Yun. I think that says Yunhai. This one's got a bit weird proportions to be honest. That rear 3/4 just a little bit odd there. Wheels are slightly small. Do like the orange color though. And inside again another lovely interior. Big screen in the middle there that feels like a 16in screen. It's probably 15.4 but it does feel like a 16. soft touch materials on the dashboard, leather. You only get down to some kind of softish plastics down there. This one does get two wireless
• 18:30 - 19:00 chargers though. Both ventilated, which is great. A nice little simple steering wheel there. Let's check out the back seats in this. Wouldn't mind driving one of these and checking this out on the road. That looks pretty spacious in there. Also get a few gold accents on the doors for your speakers and handles, switches, and they've got an aftermarket carpet in there for some reason. Let's see if we can open the boot. It's not a not a power boot on this, but plenty big. Look at the size of that. Probably a good 400 L in there, I would say. And
• 19:00 - 19:30 I bet we've got a good Yeah, even more space underneath there. Excellent. That's what we want. So, yeah, Bowen doing some really nice stuff. Of course, you've probably seen the Yep. This is now in Brazil as a Chevrolet Spark. This is the Yet Plus, which means it comes with four doors. And we get a decent amount of space in there. We do. That's not bad. Quite That's really deep, actually. Goes all the way down there. That's a useful amount of space on this. You might
• 19:30 - 20:00 remember that they showed off a concept where all the wheels can turn 45° and the car can spin on the spot. They don't seem to have brought that to the show today, but Oh, I'll just quickly show you this. By the way, look, we've got two robots here. This is a Uni Tree robot. lots more than you think this one. Oh, there you go. Waving at you. That's quite fun. So, this guy's controlling it on his phone here. You can shake hands with it, too. By the way, this one actually competed in a in the world in the world's first humanoid robot half marathon the other day. He's coming over
• 20:00 - 20:30 to say hello. Let's see if we can do a handshake. Let's try this. Oh, there we go. Oh, he's waving again. He's waving. Hi. Thought he was going to come for a handshake. Oh, there we go. There's a handshake. Nice handshake with the uni tree rock. His little tiny head. Look at that. That's cute. And we got another humanoid robot. This one looks far too bloody real. That's That's a real human. That's a real human being. That's good
• 20:30 - 21:00 though. I'll wave at them anyway. Thank you. That was a human with a non with a half non-human face. This is the Yep. This is the normal Yep. You see this one's only three doors. And this is what you get in a Yep. You even get electric front seats. Look at that. So, I can press that button there. And that front seat. And this is this is a really affordable car. It's under £100,000 R&B. That's under £10,000. Good amount of leg room in the back of that. This is basically like a
• 21:00 - 21:30 sister car to the Wooling Hong Wang, the original square one, which I didn't I don't think they actually showed on the stand. Maybe they're not highlighting that one quite so much. But you get pretty big speakers there in your door. some soft touch materials. The seat seems to stop going backwards now. Is it going to carry on going backwards? No. Okay, I'll finish the job for it. Twin screens on there. They're probably about 11 in, something like that. Overall, it's a bit dark in here because of the the color scheme and the
• 21:30 - 22:00 no lack of a panoramic roof, but that's what you get with a a Bowen Yep, otherwise known as a Chevrolet Spark in other markets. Funky little off-road styling. It is only a two seat a two single motor two wheel drive car I believe. This one actually might be four-wheel drive though. That one that one's definitely got a more chunky look to it. I'm going to try and avoid the uh weirdly muscly dude. It's also got a kind of a glamping tent on the side. That's the plus. It's
• 22:00 - 22:30 a bit more chunky. There you go. And this one's got a massive ice cream on the roof. That's another off-road looking one. the Belgian Yet Plus ice cream. Now, Buick, they're also made by sic. There's some really cool stuff on this stand. They've got some They got some uh -v platform there. This one even has rear wheel steering as well. That one looks like a full EV over there or maybe a fuel cell. That's a plug-in hybrid. That's your full EV platform over there. But they brought us three concepts. So, this one, they're all
• 22:30 - 23:00 Electra. This kind of seems to be their EV brand. This is They brought out the GLA Encasa which is I believe is the biggest GLA MPV and it might be based on this concept which is absolutely enormous with a chunky chunky looking liar unit on the roof as well up there. But that's pretty fun. Let me let me show you around the back of this so you can see what the back of the of this Electra GL8 concept is. This one has a different Chinese
• 23:00 - 23:30 name. I don't recognize those characters, but there you go. That one's the That's the the Buick MPV. Now, check out this one over here. This is the Electra GS concept. And this is fit, I would say. Look at that. It's got kind of Aston Martin elements there at the back. Kind of a resemblance to Aston Martin. Lovely
• 23:30 - 24:00 wheels. do like that yellow tone they've got in there. That's really cool. Kind of a four-seater coupe saloon. I'll just glide around the front of here and interrupt this lady's live stream. It's got kind of Toyota vibes at the front, but a really Look how how the nose curves down there. That's a really neat looking car. I do like the Electro GS. Hopefully they make more of those rather than I was going to show you the other
• 24:00 - 24:30 Electro, but I don't know where it is. It's They have a saloon that's not very exciting. I was going to compare it to that, but yeah, if they bring us more of that one. Yeah, I'm all for it. Here's another one. This is a different Electra Electra SUV again. Honestly, Buick do make some really attractive concepts and they actually design these in their Buick design studio here in Shanghai. It' be nice to go and visit that one day. But like the the lighting elements on the back of here, they're very neat.
• 24:30 - 25:00 Look at those. So, that's kind of an SUV concept that they're going for. I'll show you around the front of that in a moment after I'm behind finish this back of this guy's shop. And this one, I think we've seen a few times. This is the electric sedan. They might have updated this slightly. Look at the interior on that. If you can see inside the cabin, but it looks like the seats have got tons of leg room in there. Dashboard looks really sort of futuristic as well. Tiny little camera mirrors on there. Love the wheels. The wheels are the best part on this. Absolutely
• 25:00 - 25:30 fantastic. But I'm pretty sure we saw this one at a previous auto show. Nevertheless, still looked very nice. I'm going to glide around the back of this camera now so I don't interrupt whatever these guys are doing. I think they're waiting to do a live stream. There's the front of the Electra SUV. So, the wheels are sticking out the sides there. Actually, that's not quite legal, I don't think. But yeah, lovely concept. So, the Americans are fighting back as well. At least Buick are. Let's see if Cadillac are doing anything
• 25:30 - 26:00 similar. I believe these are also made by SIC, the ones that are made in China. This one, the Escalade EV, probably isn't made in China. Escalade IQ should call it. Look at the size of that. That's abs such an enormous car. Can't even fit it in the screen. Not sure I like the back ends on them. They look a bit sad the way the lights
• 26:00 - 26:30 fall down. Same with the the optic here. Got a Lyric V over there. That might be a special version of a Lyric. Cadillac very much keeping to their design language, which is a strong one. So, I'm not going to complain. But if you look at the interiors, they're not really up to spec with Chinese cars. I mean, that's pretty nice. It's a cool curved screen that comes all the way around the front. And you get a lot of physical controls down here, which some people will like, but does feel the screen's a bit too slim to
• 26:30 - 27:00 really do anything meaningful on. Oh, I do I like this though. You get a uh I think this is a pocket on here. No, it's not. This is a something moved on there. Don't know what it was. It's not a pocket. Yeah, interiors need a bit of an improvement, I think, for Cadillac if they want to step things up. Anyway, let's move on to IM because I did mention that the Audi that we saw earlier is using a platform from this brand. IM as I mentioned have also
• 27:00 - 27:30 gone to Australia now. I think they're also in Thailand badged as IM presented by MG Motors. MG has a far greater brand name obviously not necessarily a premium one but they have a a brand name at least that people know. So they have a connection to them. These have this funky little detail on the back here. The lights get a little dog on there. You can put writing on. Tells when you're driving or parking or stuff like that. It's got a kind of a duct tail
• 27:30 - 28:00 Aston Martin shape there. Now appearance-wise, they're not my favorite. They are a bit droopy, a little bit melted, but the interiors are actually really quite interesting. Let me dive in back of this one. I do like these big quilted rear seats. Loads of space. Now, this one you can, this is the SUV, I think. You can flip that seat forwards and slide it under the dashboard and give this one loads more space, but that might be on a different version. We also got magnets
• 28:00 - 28:30 here on the back. This is a new trend. You can see that. There you go. It's a new trend where you can magnetize different accessories on the back so you can hold uh tablets and things like that. Now the ice, the L6. This is the LS6, by the way. That's the LS6. S is SUV. L6 is standard sedan. This one looks This one looks a lot better, actually. From this rear angle here, it's pretty mean. Very low, very fat. Apparently, it's auto driving at the
• 28:30 - 29:00 moment, but there you go. And this one comes with a much more interesting dashboard. Look at that. You got basically a 30in screen all the way across the front there. And I think that can slide down. They can drop down into the dashboard. Plus, you got another screen here as well. And I think this one also can slide. The seat can tuck into that space because there's no glove box down there. So, there's a load of space to slide the seat forward and give this passenger and the back here a lot more leg room. You've also got cameras here on the side, too, like on a Tesla.
• 29:00 - 29:30 Yeah, the wheels though. The wheels are a bit naff, let's be honest. Now, they updated the L6. It now costs under 200,000 R&B to get one brand new. And they need that honestly because their sales have been nonapping in China. They broke 5,000 sales in March last month, which was an improvement on about 1,000 2,000 units in January and February, but not really where they need to be.
• 29:30 - 30:00 The breaking point I would say for success is somewhere like 10,000 to 20,000. They need to at least get over 10,000. And interestingly, I'm just looking around, they haven't brought the L7. The L7 is actually the one the one good-looking car that they do, which is really sexy, but they haven't got they haven't got it. Instead, they brought us this furry pink car here with a fluffy wheels.
• 30:00 - 30:30 fluffy fluffy ears. I'm not entirely sure why they bring these to auto shows, but there's a lot of them. You're going to see more of them here at the show. And I'm well aware that we're already half an hour into this video and we're still in the first full. So, let's speed things up now. As I said, Wrongway, they've got Rising. Rising was originally a like a model or not a line of Wrongway cars, like a sporty line.
• 30:30 - 31:00 Then they became the brand of their own as rising. Now they're back under under runway again, but still a brand again. They don't even report the sales on these anymore because these are not doing too well saleswise despite the fact that they look quite neat. I think this one's been updated. Actually, the back end looks better on this than it did before. They've got interesting interiors. I'll interrupt this lady's live stream, but you see in there we've got three screens. This is a screen. There's one in the middle and one on the other side. It's a bit like the hyper screen. And there's another screen down there in the back. You can just see in
• 31:00 - 31:30 there by that lady's legs. Now, we've reviewed one of these on the channel, which is this one, the F7, which is a really good looking car. You'll notice this light treatment here is very similar to what you'll find on M on modern MGs. And this one may well be coming to the UK as an MG at some point. In China, when I drove it, it was about £25,000. It might be even less by now. But yeah, that's the the two rising
• 31:30 - 32:00 cars. They actually brought a concept wrong way. This one's called the Pearl of China, and I couldn't see this earlier because they had it covered up. So, let's go and get a closer look at the Pearl of China. This has got a lot of retro vibes about it, and a very interesting display with a water waterfall kind of thing on it. Let's go around the side. Pardon me. Sorry. Let's go around the side and look at the interior. It's
• 32:00 - 32:30 quite loud in here. It's hard to get the focus on this to be honest. Is the water going to stop? So, we can get a closer look. I can't really focus on the water. I can't actually get inside. Let's see if I can change the focus on the camera so you can see it. There we go. Okay. Ah, we had it for a second. Okay, there you go. That's the
• 32:30 - 33:00 interior. That's very interesting. I mean, sorry. Trying to avoid some cameras. I mean, Wrongway is it's it's it's sic's budget brand. It's the mainstream brand. So, this feels like a very odd car for them to produce cuz that's kind of got vibes of being like a almost like a Hongchi. Actually got another robot over here as well. Let's go have a look at this. This is the Cars and Robot Show apparently, but there you go. This one's called Agibbot. Doesn't seem too agitated right
• 33:00 - 33:30 now. They do have one other new car, which is the D6 electric. This one might be new. Actually, this D5X. I've seen the lights before, but I didn't know it was called D5. We got the D7 and then they got the D6 over here. So, slide around there. This is the D6. This is very much, I would say, a ride hailing area car. Little tiny wheels on a saloon, but a reasonable interior
• 33:30 - 34:00 actually. Lots of soft touch materials. Very boring steering wheel. Probably a 12-in screen in the middle there, but a lot of leg room in the back. I did sit in one this morning. Quite spacious in there. That's the D6, the EV. So wrongways you actually you only really see them in you only really see them in Shanghai to be honest you see them a little bit around
• 34:00 - 34:30 the rest of the country but they're much bigger in Shanghai. Anyway, that's the end of hall one. 34 minutes. I'll have to be quicker next time. That's cuz of hall two. All righty. We're into hall 4.1 and this is the cherry hall. So, this is what you might call the woohoo colin. Yeah, I'll explain that later on when we get to the the Zika 9X, but this is a a Zong. There's a guy doing flips for us. That's quite fun. This is a Zong Hen, which is a Jettor.
• 34:30 - 35:00 Seems to be a new brand they're coming out with. Big S, big ass SUV, G600 there. And also in the background, let me zoom in over there. Also got another one. That's the G900, I believe. I'd like to get closer to that one, but I can't. These are basically, as I said, just big ass SUVs. They're kind of Jettor is a one of the rare off-road brands in China that does
• 35:00 - 35:30 genuine off-road cars. Jettor Zong Hang seems to be their new premium version. So, we can get a bit closer. I can just slide here onto the stand. Get a look at the G700 which comes in normal SUV form there. Let's see if we can get a decent shot at one. Let's go around the side here. There we go. There's our G700. And that's kind of in this cyber style which is becoming quite popular here in China.
• 35:30 - 36:00 Do like those wheels. They're very funky. Let's just dive down there. Not interrupt. This guy's filming. Someone's doing a live stream. But that's that's a very meaty beast. I mean, you can see how big it is compared to the people around it. We've also got the F700. This is a pickup truck. And see here, got kind of a recycled plastic looking grill there and a light up. That's a digital logo. So, presumably you can put messages on there as well. This was launched as a concept
• 36:00 - 36:30 a while back. Just get a quick look in there. Clearly a concept in terms of how the seats look, but lots of soft touch materials. This one will also almost certainly become a real thing at some point in the future as pickup trucks are getting popular. Do like those lights on the back and there's a real pickup bed in there. There you go. So, that'll be a kind of a high-end pickup truck. And we can actually get close to the G900. There it is. So, I mean, that's a face that that would hurt if it hit you given how big
• 36:30 - 37:00 it is. It says Jour Ultimate. So, just inside the grill there, it says ultimate. And it's quite interesting at the back. Let me show you the back of it. It's a step back far enough to make sure it still fits in the shot. Now, this one can float. So, if you look down there, little turbines. This one can float in water and drive just like the Yang Wang U8 can do. Again, only a concept right now,
• 37:00 - 37:30 although they have actually shown it floating. But yeah, so this is one of the trends you're going to see in the show is the the trend of floating cars, which the Chinese really seem to be pursuing quite a lot at the moment. Now, what seems to happen in the Chinese car industry is because the competition's so high, the brands, they really really fight things out, you know? So, they they come up with interesting ideas, some of which are smart and good ideas, some of which
• 37:30 - 38:00 probably won't really last very long. Now, we can't get a look inside this one. Honestly, the G700 looks a lot like a Fang Chung Bao Bow 5. Look at the way that the scalloped front and rear shoulders, the profile there really looks like a Fang Chung Bao. Very similar. Just diving. You can see the inside there. Got some uh some metal screws and screen all the way across the top of the dashboard there, plus one in the middle. Looks pretty
• 38:00 - 38:30 cool. We'll see whether we ever get near one of these in order to drive it. It even looks like a denz like a functioning bow from the front as well. But yeah, here's the jet normal brand. And this is their Shanghai T1. This is a fair fairly small SUV. Believe it's just a hybrid or a petrol car at the moment, not an EV. They have made a cool cyber version of it though which again looks very funky
• 38:30 - 39:00 honestly. Lots of G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W Wagon vibes about the overall look and the interior very bright and white. I mean, it's going to get dirty, but it looks ace. I do like that kind of air aircraft style gear shifter there or drive selector in the middle. And again, they got the same funky wheels, cyerspace wheels they call them. I like it. I like the tank 300 in the cyerspace look. And I I like the T1 as
• 39:00 - 39:30 well. The Shanghai the Shanghai T1. This one is the T2 which is a little bit bigger I think than the T T1. This is a really meaty proper off-roader. You can get this one with the straps on the front there. Someone explained to me from the last video that they're designed to lift branches away from the car. So, thank you for those who explained that. They've also done a cyber version of this too. See, it's got more of a a meaty sort of industrial look into it there. Lots of silver and silver and
• 39:30 - 40:00 metal look onto it. Very Defender like vibes here in the way the rear is sliced off. But again, the the cyerspace version does look quite cool. Let's see if we can get to the front. That's your logo by the way. That's your cyerspace logo. And yeah, I like it. It's very cool. Now, another car Jetur have got. This is a new one, by the way. I think this is the L7 Plus, which they're
• 40:00 - 40:30 not shown us the inside of yet. But Jours are fairly popular, I believe, in places like Russia and Bellarus and maybe like Azabaijan, places like that. That's where they seem to do quite well. They're not in lots of other markets yet. This one very clearly. This is the Shanghai L9. Does that light remind you of any other Chinese cars? Those of you who haven't seen some
• 40:30 - 41:00 Chinese cars might say Tesla Model Y, but I will say it looks like a Lee Auto. Very much like a Lee Auto. So, that's Jour. Oh, they've also got this. By the way, we saw this in Cher's factory not long ago. Now, I don't know if you know how to read that name. Raalo or that's actually a Q on the end like real raal Q. I don't know how they're going to say that. They've changed the front end from the one that we saw in Woohoo. But this is probably going to go
• 41:00 - 41:30 to international markets. So, get a good look at that interior if you're after a pickup truck. Few physical switches cuz Cherry keep a lot of those which is good. And there's your back end. So, that's your production version of the pickup truck coming from Cherry. Although it is bad as a jetour here, but it'll almost certainly come to Australia as a cherry. Now, also within the cherry family, we have exceeded. This is the one that's coming to the UK. I believe it's called the Yao Guang here in China. It'll probably it's going to
• 41:30 - 42:00 be badged as a Ju when it goes abroad. They don't want you to know this probably, but a lot of these cars are just rebadged. They just changed the badge around for different markets. So, yes, this is what this is the one you're going Hang on. Let me remember the very loud live stream here. Let me quickly dive inside. This is what you're going to get when you get this car in the UK. Okay, so you're going to get not real wood on the dashboard there. You're going to get leather
• 42:00 - 42:30 seats. Oh, my camera's spinning around. There you go. You get some mounting points here, so you can kind of put a phone on there. It's a magnetic mounting point. Few physical controls. They're quite cool. And this screen around the back. It should come with the Lion OS. That looks like the Lion down there. So, you can talk to that and you can talk to it in different languages. It's not always perfect, but it's decent. And we get Sony speakers in here as well. But yeah, that's the that's the XED, which
• 42:30 - 43:00 will be a Ju in the UK. Probably be a JCU in some other markets as well. Now, the this one has got a new back end on it. It's not the prettiest back end in the world, but there you go. We've also got the XED XLantics ET, which we've driven on the channel. Check out that video. We'll try and drive the ES at some point, but I won't cover that one in too much detail. We've done that one before. Now, this is a concept called the
• 43:00 - 43:30 TNG, which I think means Sky Machine. I'm not sure, but that's quite quite cool. Again, it's another SUV. This is a big trend at the auto show this year. SUVs are taking over, but I do like XC because they do come with with concepts. But there you go. There's your SUV. One thing they haven't shown, which we predicted they would, would be a production version of the XED MPV, which they've been teasing in
• 43:30 - 44:00 concept form for a few shows now, but haven't given us yet. So, sorry for that. It does look very cool, but it's not here. I'm afraid we'll have to wait a bit longer. Now, here's a new car. This is also Cherry, as you can see up there. This is a new brand, as if Cherry don't have enough already. This one's called the Q Curio. Curio spelled with a Q. And it looks a bit like the sloth from Utopia. You think?
• 44:00 - 44:30 They let us get closer to this this morning, but now they put a big fence around it. It's just a It's an electric concept car. Q. Basically, Q is one of one of Cher's long long-standing brands, and this is their latest model, the Q ice cream in this kind of uh racing edition, but they've decided that Q's enough of a a brand now to become a brand on its own. So, it's a famous model. Here we go. That's the back end of it. Looks as
• 44:30 - 45:00 sleepy at the back as it does at the front, but it's quite neat actually. Lovely, spacious interior. Like the black and white colors. Looks a bit like a panda. Actually, it's silver, not black, not not white. But that's quite funky. This is the cute ant. Little ant, which is a four-seater. Not quite as basic as the cute ice cream over there, but looks a bit safer, a bit more wellmade. They don't sell that one abroad, I don't
• 45:00 - 45:30 believe. Got the Tigo. Sorry, not the Tigo. The what do they call these ones? I forget the name. Not the Fullin. The Aritzo. Aritzo 8. Again, that's not really an international market car in most Western markets. This is a fairly new one. This is the Funyun T11, which I believe is Full Win. So, Fullwin is kind of a cherry.
• 45:30 - 46:00 It's also kind of a brand of its own. As you can see in there, let's zoom in. Two massive screens up top. This is a big SUV, six-seater. And look, there's a screen on the roof up there as well, which is good. I'll just zoom back out again. Yeah, fairly anonymous styling in terms of it's very round and and soft, but there's a big market for massive SUVs at the moment in China. So, that one should do quite well as and when it comes out
• 46:00 - 46:30 to the market properly. This is a sporty version of the Fullin A9, which is a saloon. And they've even got a walking dog over there. That's There's your walking dog having a look through the the stand. They also have a robot here, but I'm kind of embarrassed to show you the robot here because it's compared to the I actually used it. There's a short on this channel that shows you what the robots like and it can give you drinks and stuff, but it's embarrassingly lacking in functionality compared to a real the
• 46:30 - 47:00 humanoid robots that we've seen. We got a couple of concepts as well. This kind of hatch hatchback shooting break looking design which is really quite nice. And then this one which we saw in Guangjo, the Jouro, which I do like this one. I mean, look at this. Got a glass window. You can get really close to it now. You can move those seats out the way and lie in there. So, we can just push it to the glass. There you go. You can just see inside. This is kind of like an MPV
• 47:00 - 47:30 that's also an SUV, but as I said, it's a concept, so you know, it's not it's not a reality just yet. But let's see. I like the idea of it. They've also got another brand that's looking to do an SUV MPV, but I was hoping they'd bring that. They haven't done. We'll get around to there in a minute. This is the Cherry IR. Zoom out a bit more. It's an autonomous bus basically. So, I'll show
• 47:30 - 48:00 you the interior. Can spin these seats around. Face backwards over there. Got a screen up there. That's a projected screen on the glass there. Screens on the side. and a big ball on the dashboard over there. And of course, this is the first of many, a flying car. This is Cher's version. Absolutely massive. And what happens here is the flying sorry, the flying car part is the yellow frame, right, with the volicopter style thing on top. And this other bit
• 48:00 - 48:30 in the middle, which looks like a helicopter cabin and a car. You can actually drive that. I don't see that anyone's anyone who's rich enough to own a helicopter is going to do that. They're going to drive around. There you go, dog. That's a little robot dog. I don't see anyone who's rich enough is going to drive around in in what looks like a helicopter pod on wheels if I'm totally honest with you. But it's got big wings on it and a big big tail wing as well. So, some interesting stuff going on at Cherry. I mean, they're trying
• 48:30 - 49:00 things. I'll not focus on the look seeds right now. I'll save those for when we get to the highar brand. Otherwise, we will be here forever. Now, Smart Smart have released a couple of things at the show. They've got an all-wheel drive Smart Hashtag 5 and the Brabbus hashtag 5. They've also brought this collaboration version with Keith Harry of the hashtag 3 with this very funky rap on it. That's quite funky. But
• 49:00 - 49:30 the real the real show show stealer here. Sorry, the music's quite loud. There you go. The real show stealer here is this one to the hashtag five Brabbus. Brabus have been tuning Smarts for a long time now. About 20 years actually. Smarts 27 years old this year. Brabus has been around since pretty much the beginning. See inside we've got twin screens there. The Brabus comes with a Sennheiser sound system. You got Alcantara steering wheel. Alcantara in
• 49:30 - 50:00 the middle. Funky little Brabus headrests, big panoramic roof, adjustable air suspension, 95 mm of adjustment, and this is the most powerful Smart ever. So, it's based on the SEA platform as you know from Zika. Comes with a 310 kW motor on the back, 165 kW motor on the front. So, 475 kW in total, 0 to 100, 3.9 seconds. a little bit slower actually than the less powerful hashtag 3 and hashtag one which
• 50:00 - 50:30 is over there that one. But yeah, it's uh it's nevertheless quite impressive. And notice also by the way got Brabus uh Brembo brake discs. Also got a liar unit. I believe Smart use Deep Route for their autonomous driving. Hoping to try that if I get to try this car at some point. But yeah, that that should move like off a shovel. as I uh self self censor myself there should be super quick and it's very
• 50:30 - 51:00 funky. Yeah. Do I believe that smart should be going so big? Maybe not. But if it makes them profitable and gives them a chance at getting a two-seater back again then maybe. Now Avatar, one of my favorite brands in the market here. This is their new car, the 06. I'll try and get you a better one. Let's go to a more obvious one up on the stage over here. So, they've got, as you know, the the one two. This is the kind of royal version of the one two. They've got the
• 51:00 - 51:30 11 one, which is over there. We've driven both of those. The 07, which is here, and now the 06. Uh, let me try and find a better one to look at. I just want to get a decent shot of it. It's a very attractive car, actually. 06. Very interesting design on this one. See, it's got a kind of a like a lip here at the back. Now, I saw this and I thought that car looks like it should be a convertible. Well, guess what? We've had spy shots of a convertible version of this. I was hoping maybe they would
• 51:30 - 52:00 show it at the show, but they haven't, which is a shame. But there you go. But yeah, lovely interior. There's a guy in the back there, but you can see big panoramic roof. The dashboard's very nice. So, you get a screen. You got camera mirrors, by the way. You get a big screen all the way across the back there, just like on the the one two, the car that we really liked. Same kind of ovalish octagonal steering wheel there. You get Meridian sound system. I believe you get it in the higher level versions. Maybe you get it in this one too. And
• 52:00 - 52:30 quite a lot of space actually in the back. Decent amount of room there. Also, you get the same Halo screen on the front. And we step backwards carefully. That's the look of it. That's a good looker, isn't it? the 06 next to its brother, the 07 SUV. Both of these absolutely fantastic. Designed in Munich by Nadia Fagizad, if that's how you pronounce his name, an Iranian German, and I think he does a bloody marvelous job
• 52:30 - 53:00 actually. Now, Mercedes, I'm not going to focus on their other stuff cuz I'm sure you all know what that is, but they brought us a concept, which is great. Well, I say I say it's great. You can decide when you see it if you think it's great. It is the Vision V. So, they've been teasing their their new van for a long time. And here it is. So, I mean, check out that check out the grill. Looks like an FAW logo on there. Big shiny
• 53:00 - 53:30 wheels. This guy's doing a live stream around the outside. So, basically, this is this is going to be their concept. Well, they're they're they say it's nearly production ready. I mean, if you look at the interior, it's absolutely not a production ready car. Maybe their van, their V-class in future will look like that. I don't know. But if you zoom in on the side there, see a little screen on the B-pillar just there. So, presumably that will give you information about the car. I mean, it would be it would be a very interesting
• 53:30 - 54:00 van if it actually does come out looking like that. It's even got domes on the bonnet that ride into the front window there. Let's see if we can get a good view around the the back side of this thing. Show you the interior. We've also got, by the way, the electric CLA. And this has got one of the best ranges. I think it's like 870 km or something for an EV. Let's just get a good shot of the side there of the interior. See, it's very much a concept
• 54:00 - 54:30 interior. Absolutely enormous screen in the back there. Lots of ambient lighting. Very much a Mercedes thing right now. Got quite cool seats to be honest. You can lie those totally flat in the back. Very white. Lots of wood and shiny stuff. Yeah. Let's just see how much that actually turns out like a production car in reality when it when it comes to the market. Now we've got the CLA electric as I said. Debatable what you think about the looks of this. Do they let us
• 54:30 - 55:00 inside? Doesn't seem like they do. There's another version that is open over there. So, tell me what you think about the front of that car. I think it looks like a smart car. It's got a very guppy like grill. Actually, it does stick out quite far as well at the front. I also think they're kind of overdoing the design of Mercedes right now. The logos are just a bit too much. I mean, the CLA has always been a good looker. It's obviously very aerodynamic, get really good range,
• 55:00 - 55:30 but yeah, it's electric. I said about 870 km. I think that's on WLTC as well. So, not even CLTC. I just want to try and dive into the dashboard here. Well, this guy's looking. So, full screen across there. You got a big screen in the middle, big screen on the side. Funky little dials here. Lovely sporty steering wheel. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like we're going to get a proper good look at the interior on it and to get the chance to sit in it because it seems quite popular. But, I'm
• 55:30 - 56:00 curious how well that will do in China. Much of it will depend on the price. Okay. And whether people want to feel like they're sat inside a red light district, I don't know. Not much interest in the C-Class, though, as you can see. But yeah, at least Mercedes brought us some cool stuff this time. This is a very good looking car, though. The the CLE coupé. Weirdly, I don't think it actually works in yellow. I do like yellow cars, but I don't think it works in yellow.
• 56:00 - 56:30 Anyway, Changan. Changan have got all of their brands in one place here. They've also got some breakout brands for the breakout stands for these later. Avatar, of course, Avatar over there. They are produced by Changan. Changan part of a joint venture between Huawei and CL the battery manufacturer to make avatars. But of course, Changan, one of China's oldest car companies, started making military equipment, I believe about 150
• 56:30 - 57:00 years ago or something like that, and they're expanding into international markets. This is one of the cars that's coming. This is a Chiuan E07. So, in China, it's a Chuan. In Australia, it will probably be badged as a DAL. And it is interior looks quite funky in there. Can't get close to it, but this is actually a pickup, believe it or not. That back end there slides up onto the
• 57:00 - 57:30 roof and gives you a pickup truck bed, which I think I can show you over here. I'll show you for those that haven't seen it. But there you go. There's your pickup truck bed. Look, you fold the glass down, get full load area all the way into the back seats here. So, you see there you go. basically a pickup truck come car and it's fully electric which means that it should do quite well in international markets. Now we've got a an updated
• 57:30 - 58:00 CS75. I think the UNIV has also been updated but I'm not entirely sure what they've done to it so I won't give it too much focus. This is the CS75 Plus. I said updated version. By the way, check out the size of the boot in here. Okay, there's no power on it. It was opening this morning. But inside, zero gravity front seat. They're becoming quite popular. Plus massive screens across the front. Got real wood. Real microfiber here. Real wood in there. You would buy this car. Uh, not
• 58:00 - 58:30 for me. No. What are you looking for? Uh, Zika mix. Where are you from? UK. UK. I live live in China. Sorry. I'm doing a video. Not sure if he's trying to sell me one. Right. As well as that, I'll show you the DAL S09 later. This is the Chiuan Q07. I believe this is massively affordable. I think I saw the prices of this yesterday. It's about 140,000 R&B, about £15,000, £16,000,
• 58:30 - 59:00 £20,000. Let's just check it out. Let me show you the the car. Sorry. Hang on. Let's do it again. I think it's an electric boot. There we go. I was trying to lift it up by myself. I keep forgetting it's electric. Look at the size of the boot. That's enormous. Absolutely huge boot and bit of space under there as well. These seats recline really a long way back. But you'll see we've got big screen up at the front there. I'll try and dive in through the window and got a
• 59:00 - 59:30 plug there as well in the back. By the way, believe this is a hybrid. Basically, you got a big screen in there in the dashboard they're playing with there. It's got some microfiber and leather materials in there. A lot of space in the back seats. I said this one massively affordable. Might make it to international markets. Badgers as a dal. Have to see. As I said, I'll show you the the S09 on the deep stand. They're also
• 59:30 - 60:00 making a big deal about the Warrior. This is the Changan pickup truck. Check out the overbite on that. Really sticks right out of the front there. But it's actually Let's check out the interior. Not bad. It's got a RV radio, CB radio in there. Couple of screens top of the dashboard. Still feels like a pickup truck to be honest with you. Check out the back seats. Decent amount of space. Big load bed. So, a lot of space in there. That is of course a petrol car. I don't think it's a hybrid. Oh, and look,
• 60:00 - 60:30 what do you know? I didn't see this earlier. Another flying car. This one feels much more like a real one. I think all the arms fold in. But that feels like a a helicopter for two. Uh, I wouldn't want to get out though while the propellers were spinning other feel a bit legless. Anyway, let's head to iicar. Now, IIcar, I was hoping they would bring the V, the X25, which is, as I mentioned earlier on
• 60:30 - 61:00 the cherry stand, an MPV come SUV. These guys, of course, make these funky little boxy retro style cars. They do have a fluffy one, by the way, up there on top of that stand. Another fluffy car. But we drove this one on the channel. If you want to see our review of this, check that out. It wasn't too long ago. It was earlier this year. I like this retro looking one here with the the chrome and the wood. But what I really like, a lot of live streamers. What I
• 61:00 - 61:30 really like is this one. Now, they told me they're not going to make this for a few years because it requires regulations or something. like it would it would have to be taken off the road in 15 years in China, which doesn't really feel like a real reason to not bring this car to market. It's basically a short pickup version of the V23 called V23P and I believe FIFA project apparently, but I believe they should make it. So, even though I'm still
• 61:30 - 62:00 annoyed at IICAR for not really talking to us, nevertheless, I do still hope they bring the V23P to market. All right, then we've got a Bosch stand over here. Let's head to the next hall. All righty, into hall 5.1. And we got some interesting stuff going on in here. I'm going to briefly take you back to the Audi E5, by the way, which seems like they're going to be making it by SIC and
• 62:00 - 62:30 FAW. Now, you get a few tech companies in here. Biston, plus Horizon Robotics, they're all involved in drivetrains and stuff like that. So, a lot of stuff going on that's also outside of the automotive space. Y. So, sorry, I was getting called by someone that I know, camera guy from Denmark. very good camera guy if you need one in China. But yeah, let me just give you some quick stats about this. By the way, this is the, as I mentioned,
• 62:30 - 63:00 the E5 Sportback. And I did record some notes about this. So, 579 kW of power, 776 horsepower. 0 to 100 in 3.4 seconds. So, it's going to be super quick. They are going to do a quattro version. So, a rear wheel drive version and a front-wheel drive version. You've actually got arrow down the front there. Look, Arrow on the bonnet there, which has been popped up slightly. 800 volt platform, 370 km that it can charge in
• 63:00 - 63:30 10 minutes, 27 in 4K screen inside, 100 kWh battery, and air suspension. So, there you go. That's a few bits of information about the E5 that I forgot to give you when I showed you the first time. They've got a few more of them on the FAW stand than they had elsewhere. I do hope we see some of those on the road here in China, but we'll see. Pardon me, I've got hiccups. Here's an original Audi
• 63:30 - 64:00 Quattro. The Legend. I think the new one channels channels that look quite well, albeit that's obviously not a not an estate, but it's good to see the old cars here. Sometimes they add a bit of color to the stands. Of course, we got a whole bunch of other electric Audi's. Audi Q4 Ron, the Q8 maybe over there or E8, I don't know. Q6L. Now, I'm going to be doing a video actually on some of the differences between Chinese cars and the European
• 64:00 - 64:30 ones, at least the the the not the latest European ones like the E5. So, I'm going to show you some of the infotainment differences on some of these cars. Audi, of course, still doing very much a lot of work on their petrol cars. RS7, RS6, A6L. They seem to be falling behind though, behind BMW and Audi with their so BMW and Mercedes with their
• 64:30 - 65:00 sales. Now, Volvo, we'll head over here. Apologies by the way if I neglect the camera work for a moment because got to watch where I'm going at the same time and sometimes I let the camera drop a little bit. Volvo haven't given us anything new at this show really. I was hoping they would have the ES90 here, but they haven't. They've basically given us the what they're calling the new XC90. Not all new. It's clearly not. It's 10-y old
• 65:00 - 65:30 car, but it's been updated a little bit. Let me see if they got a V. Just want to see if I can zoom in down there. The hell is that? Doll sat on the couch. Looks like a real person with a very big face. Anyway, yeah, let's just cruise around the back of the the Volvo stand. So, yeah, no ES90. That's disappointing. I was hoping we'd have the ES90, but they brought us the XC90. This is a plastic version or these plastic body panels
• 65:30 - 66:00 with the the frame underneath showing you the most the strength of strong parts and what metals are used. Got new Thor's hammer headlamps there and a new grill, but it's not so exciting. You've all seen that one before. Let's just glide down here. Yeah, they haven't even brought the EX90 which is again a massive shame cuz I think well I mean they are going to sell it but it will be expensive in China. No doubt about it.
• 66:00 - 66:30 China is the only market by the way that's going to be keeping the S90. So they got a long wheelbase S90 which they're still making. China is going to be the only market that keeps it because because saloons are still popular. It is still one of the best sellers in China actually. Now, here's an interesting one. This is a Porsche stand which looks very very interesting. I've been told this is a this is quite a cool stand. You'll see up there on the back shelf,
• 66:30 - 67:00 you've got an original Let's move the camera down a little bit. the original 911 at the back there and then different iterations of 911 right up to the new one. That last one looks like the the the GT kind of version. I forget what the name of it is now. There's a queue to get on the Porsche stand. So, I'm not going to quue, I'm afraid. But I'll try and give you a shot from the outside. Spirit 70. What I do like about Porsche is they are one of the most colorful car brands.
• 67:00 - 67:30 They're not shy of using colors and they're all the better for it if you ask me. All the better for it. This one, of course, with the famous flying pig paintwork. I'll try and get you a decent look at it. There we go. Decent flying pig look on there. That's like a GT version. And then you got the Macan, the electric Macan over there, which is cool. Good that they're bringing that, but they haven't brought anything else new, I don't think.
• 67:30 - 68:00 Right. What have we got now? Itto. Itto, of course, one of Huawei's I was going to say four, now five brands. So, they've got Itto, Stellato, Lux Seed, Micstro, and a new one, which isn't here yet, but is going to be made by SIC, funnily enough. So, another SEIC brand. What a live streaming. Look at this. This is what the shows are full of. This is the M8. This is one that they are
• 68:00 - 68:30 really trying to showcase. It's their new model. Let me try and find you a clear one. You can see the popularity of the Itto cars, though. The M5 isn't as popular as the others, but the M8. Let's try and get a good look at it. Uh, let's go over here. This one's got an empty driver's seat, I think. So, interesting kind of ruby red interior or purple, maroon, burgundy. As you can see, the front seat can fold flat. So,
• 68:30 - 69:00 these fellas in the back here can have zero gravity seats and chill out. Headrests in your speaker, uh, speakers in your headrest, of course. Triple screen setup across the front. This one comes with ADS 4.0, which is Huawei's latest autonomous driving technology, twin wireless chargers, magnetic connectors for tablets and stuff. In the back you get Huawei sound speakers with lovely metal speaker covers on them. Speaker grates. Real wood in there as well. Leather all the way down to the bottom is all soft touch. That's plastic
• 69:00 - 69:30 down there. Yeah, it's a six-seater. So these fellas in the back, they've got kind of good flexible seats with armrests and heating ventilation, massage controls. And of course, you get a projector. You heard that right, a projector. So this up here, that's a projector screen that comes down. And that bit over there, that dark brown, dark gray box, that is your projector. Maybe one of these cars has got the projector open. So I can show you what that looks like. The M9 also has
• 69:30 - 70:00 it. There you go. This one's got it open. So you see in there the screen coming down and the projector is just up here. So in a moment it should turn on hopefully. It's not turning on, but there you go. Also, this one, by the way, comes with what is this? All right. Champagne champagne bottle holders. All righty. That's interesting. You can slide that out and basically get access to your champagne. Oh, there you
• 70:00 - 70:30 go. The screen's on now. It does go bigger than that, by the way. They've got it on small for some reason. Maybe they're showing a mobile phone. But yeah, it obviously kind of the pinnacle of the tech side of things. I wouldn't say the pinnacle of the chassis side of things. They're made by Cerez, which is a car maker from Chongqing. Cerez also has a brand. They come to the UK as well, but they're not here at the show. They don't tend to showcase at the auto shows. But yeah, it packed with every possible thing you could want in a car and some things you
• 70:30 - 71:00 might not. The projector, by the way, isn't as clear as a normal screen. Now, ID Unix actually saw one of these little unicorns in the wild in the wild, I should say, not long ago. They did knock the price of these down quite significantly last year to try and move them. I think it's a pretty funky looking car. It's basically a coupra, but made in China by Volkswagen Anway. So, there's FAW Volkswagen. There's Psych Volkswagen and Volkswagen Anway. Volkswagen Anway make this one.
• 71:00 - 71:30 They also brought a concept. So, this is this is Volkswagen Anway. Where's the concept? They they brought one of them brought a concept. Where is it? There's two over here. So, Volkswagen Anway, they have brought the Let me check my notes here. They brought the ID Evo SUV. So, where is the ID Evo? Oh, here. Yeah, this is the ID Evo.
• 71:30 - 72:00 I thought EVO was the big one. So, they brought this the ID Evo made by Volkswagen Anway. Looks quite catish at the front, very feline. But this is part of, as I said, Volkswagen's fightback. Once the most popular, the bestselling brand in China before now the second place behind BYD, but this is their new SUV. This one is built on Xpong's platform. So, this is the Xpong collaboration. The first one
• 72:00 - 72:30 should do 700 km of range on a single charge. So, it's fully electric and it's an 800vt platform. Now, we can't get a good look at the interior, but you can see that it has twin screens there at the front. So, two large screens, quite a lot of space in the back as well. We can look inside there. Not the easiest thing to look at, but yeah, good that they're finally coming back with this one, the ID Evo. Now, we also have finally the other Volkswagen
• 72:30 - 73:00 car the ID Aura I first of all talking concept this one is more of a saloon as you can see this is based on the China only CMP platform I believe and I mean it's unmistakably a Volkswagen in the kind of the simplicity and the sorry the simplicity and the torness of its design looks really quite lovely from the side looks a bit like an electric
• 73:00 - 73:30 sat/ lamando, which is probably what they're going for cuz that the saloons do sell pretty well in China still. This one only has a very basic unfinished interior, I would say, on that one. So, they haven't gone full full beans on the on the aura yet, but there you go. Sorry, there's a lady in the live stream. I'll just dive out the back of her shop. Anyway, uh the Volkswagens are not that exciting to be honest. That's just
• 73:30 - 74:00 uh Tiguans, Tavendors, Terramont. They all be in with Tyron, Taigo, Tharu. They're just kind of all over. And then you got you got your Pat and your Magatam there. Very affordable saloon. But I'll not focus on the other ones. They're not as exciting. Now, let's head to Xpunk because they've got a robot, a genuine humanoid that does work
• 74:00 - 74:30 in their factory. I'm not sure if we're within the window of them displaying the humanoid robot called Iron. They also, of course, have this. This is one of their flying cars. This is the the flying module that comes with Let me get round to it. Comes with Hang on. A lot of people in the way. This This is the land aircraft carrier.
• 74:30 - 75:00 So, what essentially happens is, let me show you a full shot of this car. What essentially happens is there's your six wheel aircraft carrier or the land aircraft carrier. And that entire unit, that flying unit over there, actually fits in the back here. And you've got four seats in there as well. So, it all folds up. I believe it takes about 40 minutes actually just to get it out and to get all the arms unfolded into the two-seater flying module that you see
• 75:00 - 75:30 over there. But it all fits in there, comes out autonomously. It can fly autonomously. You can learn how to fly it within 5 minutes. Give it 3 hours or so. You get full full expertise on it. And these are probably going to be in our skies. This you can literally pay for this right now. and they're planning to deliver them next year. Now, whether the regulations will be in place to actually use them is another question. That's something we have to wait and
• 75:30 - 76:00 see. But yeah, there is the land aircraft carrier. Xpong, of course, on a bit of a resurgence since the last time we saw them in Guangjo. So, they they're getting sales of like 30,000 a month now for five consecutive months. They have their XNGP autonomous driving program. This is the updated X9. We were in H hand Hong Kong to check this out recently. Got new wheels. They look quite cool. The blue lights are for the autonomous driving. No major changes in terms of the
• 76:00 - 76:30 interior, but you get zero gravity seats as standard now. And you can also get a version that has an aisle through the middle so you can get into the back seats more easily, which the other versions didn't have. Here's Iron, by the way. Iron seems to be I've never seen Iron this close up front before up close. But yeah, this is one of the most advanced robots that you'll find in the Chinese automotive market. Lots of degrees of movement. Three of these actually came in the back of an X9 all the way from Guangjo for the show. We
• 76:30 - 77:00 got lots of There you go. Lots of movement in the hand. There you go. Good wave on that. It's got lots of degrees of movement in the hand. Got to move the camera back cuz might get angry and and grab the camera. I'm behind. I'm behind. Don't worry, guys. Getting very worried about me uh touching the robot, but I mean, it looks this is basically I think 79 kg, 178 cm.
• 77:00 - 77:30 So, it's basically the same size as me, but I'm I'm heavier obviously. And uh yeah, this one actually is working on Xpong's production line at the moment. They've told us that it's about about 20% of the functionality of a human right now. So, there's still some way off it becoming a full robot that can actually do real every human activity, but it can do some menial task at the moment. Now, a light just blew up over
• 77:30 - 78:00 there actually for some reason. The light panel just went off where I was earlier. Promise it wasn't me. I've also updated the G9 by the way, which is this one. So, that's had some updates. Some It's got 5C charging now, as has the G6, which is here. Cosmetic changes to the G6 include full light bar across the front. So, very much like a Lee Auto now. Looks a lot better with that light bar. I do like it. Interior is generally the same. They've also gone vision only with the cameras, of course.
• 78:00 - 78:30 And slight cosmetic changes at the back, too. So, this is kind of a new bit of shape there. This guy's taking photographs of things that I'm not sure anyone actually wants photographs of, but let's see. Decent amount of boot there in the back as well. So, yeah, 25 25 edition of the G6 and so far sales are going pretty well with that. So, yeah, that's the X punk stand with all the drama and excitement of that. Let's head to the next hall. All righty, into hall 6.1. Got
• 78:30 - 79:00 some good stuff in this one. I was busy here a lot yesterday so I can show you a lot of cool things. Let me just clip my microphone by the way. Make sure that's all lined up. Okay, so first up, Mazda. As you know, they have the EZ 6 or I think it's called 6E in in Europe. They've now got this one as well, the Mazda EZ60. This one's based on the DAO
• 79:00 - 79:30 S7. say he's taking a photograph. I'll slide in front there. This one's based on the DAL S7. And some interesting features about this. Got active arrow here. So, this grill got active arrow up there on the bonnet. Sliding around to the back. So, it's lasering spins on the stand. Not necessary. Now, it's hard to show you this with the boot lid up, but you can see down the side there also a floating SE-pillar with active arrow in there.
• 79:30 - 80:00 So, there you that goes all the way through to the back. Now, interesting features in here. We get twin screens. This is just dancing, doing heart shapes. Let me try and get somewhere decent. Okay, here's the back end of the of the CX, sorry, EZ60. It should be called E Z60C or something in Europe. Not entirely sure. It's a bit bigger than the S7 in which it's based. Little bit bigger, but looks really good. Let me just dive in the front in the back here. Show you the rear seats now. Lots of
• 80:00 - 80:30 leather in here. And we got fabric on the back of the seats. As I said, bit like fabric in a car. Mazda have I think they've really started learn they've learned to make their own car. Now what I mean by that is they've learned to take a take the body of another car and really kind of turn it into their own piece of design. So you see we've got a big massive screen there. That's probably about a 26 in screen or something across the front. And of course, we get cameras for mirrors, too. So, here you go. Here's your screen there. There's your camera for a mirror.
• 80:30 - 81:00 So, what I wanted to explain by that is if you look at the EZ6, this one really looks like a DEL SL SL03 upon which is based. Whereas this one, the EZ60 actually looks much more like a a real like a real Mazda. It looks a lot more like a Mazda than I would say this this EZ6 does. that just looks too similar. It's too slabby. Doesn't look sculpted. That that K I think they call it Kora design
• 81:00 - 81:30 that you get on a on on Mazdas, whereas this feels like it does have it. This looks like a real Mazda. Looks like a a genuine CX something. It's actually a clay model. Look, got real clay on there. I love it. I think it looks really good. Few details on the on that one. One second. I have some details on my phone here. So, it's a 26 inch screen, 5K screen, 23 speakers. You
• 81:30 - 82:00 get 126 L frunk on the EV version. Sits on Changan's EPA platform, 190 kW rear wheel drive in extended range version. So Deep make an extended range version which is where the engine charges a battery. The battery powers electric motors. So you can get an extended range version of this. There will be an EV version too which they haven't fully announced yet. So we're waiting to see on the the EV information of the CX60,
• 82:00 - 82:30 sorry, EZ60. But yeah, there you go. That is that's the Mazda. And I'm glad I'm glad that they're working well with Changen and making better cars. Now, I tied into Lincoln Co. I won't spend too long on Lincoln Co stand because their big reveal or their big announcement here is the Lincoln Co. 900. We've got a full review of that on
• 82:30 - 83:00 the channel, which is this one. I'll give you a quick overview of it. Plug-in hybrid. You can get up to three motors plus the engine in here. You can get a 30inch 6K screen in the front and a 30in 6K screen in the back. Those second row seats can rotate to face backwards. So, I can show you that over here. A lot of executives from other brands taking a look. This one has got the seats facing forwards. The one
• 83:00 - 83:30 over at the back here, hopefully they've got the seats facing backwards. Let's see. No, they're still facing forwards, but you can rotate the second row seats to face outwards so that you can put your baby into a seat, for example, really easily, or you can face backwards, so you can face the third row passengers. It's a super luxurious car. Looks similar size to a Range Rover. Looks a bit like a Range Rover, but is full of luxury materials. 31 speakers,
• 83:30 - 84:00 7.1.4 surround sound, very powerful. about 800 horsepower or something like that. 650 kW of power, I believe. So, super super super powerful and a wonderful car, but as I said, I'll save that for the review. You can check that out. Now, of course, we've also just reviewed the Zika 7 GT or 007 GT as it is here in China. This is super sexy looking car. Let's look at the purple one cuz this
• 84:00 - 84:30 one is probably the best color to show it off. We've got another robot here. By the way, this is Uni Tree's robot dog. They've got a Uni Tree robot on the stand here somewhere as well. But there you go. That is the 007 GT. Comes with the same Stargate on the front. You won't get that in international markets. You'll just get a black panel, but looks really sleek. Lovely big 21in alloys. I think they're 20. No, so 20in alloys. Lovely interior, too, with a screen that I think actually tilts
• 84:30 - 85:00 different directions. I'm not 100% certain. Yeah. Again, we've reviewed that one, so I won't go into too many details of it. What I will go into the details of are this one. This is the Zika 009 Grand Collector's Edition. It's the most expensive Zika currently. So, it's the four-seater. Comes with a 43 in screen in the back, 24-way adjustable rear seats. It's got a flower in there that is that was once traded for gold cuz it was the most expensive flower in the
• 85:00 - 85:30 world. They got perfume made from that flower. Now this interesting features, okay, the wheels there, they are hand polished, also laser etched, 240 lines on there to make them kind of shine and glimmer in the light. This gold stripe along the side here, that is hand painted. Takes 30 hours to do, 16 different processes just to create that gold stripe right there. The whole point is exclusivity. And this, that's real gold. 3 g, 24 karat gold there on the
• 85:30 - 86:00 front. So, this one's a super exclusive version. And also the carpet in the back, the carpet down there, that's made from alpaca wool from young alpacas living 4,000 m above sea level in Peru. Now, they've got this, which is the Zika 9X. And show you that front grill there. They call this the Hango Bay Cullinan. I did reference that earlier. This is This is basically what I would call off design. It's like it's so in
• 86:00 - 86:30 your face. Massive 22in alloys. They're hand polished as well, by the way. I think they've got the rotating logos that stay the right way up. Check out the lights. Let me slide around here. Get you a quick closeup on the lights. Okay. In there, you might be able to see they're kind of like crystally. 42,242 diamond cut facets in the lights to basically make them shimmer like a
• 86:30 - 87:00 real diamond. The grill lights up as well, of course, like it does on the 009. This is Zika's first hybrid, so it's a plug-in hybrid. That is all one kind of piece of metal around the side there, by the way. So, kind of chrome lights on the back. Sorry, chrome details on the side. What am I talking about? I'm getting ahead of myself because I'm coming around to the back where the lights are not turned on. Why haven't they turned the lights on? You can see in there those those kind of crystal facets across the back there. You can see
• 87:00 - 87:30 that's part of those 42,000 I'm not touching it, don't worry. 42,242 crystal light details going there. So, yeah, that is a very interesting car. It's going to have 6C charging. It will do 380 km of EV only range. Got some more details on this car, I think, in my pocket if I can just check it out. A lot of this stuff needs to be remembered. I don't have the details. Okay. So, yeah, this one actually
• 87:30 - 88:00 interesting. This is also interesting that I remember. This has five liar units. Five. So, it comes with J's G Pilot H9 suite of sensors. So, you get one lidar unit on top of the screen up there. And I don't know where the other four are, but there are four other lidar units on this car. This one should be full level three autonomous capable. It's going to be launched in summer this year.
• 88:00 - 88:30 And yeah, it's it's just a massive powerhouse. Over a,000 horsepower on this. They haven't given us details of the motors, but over 1,000 horsepower, four-wheel drive, 110 mm of suspension adjustment. It'll have ground clearance up to something about like 27 cm at the maximum height, something like that. So, yeah, this is this is really a big deal. Now, only disappointment is they didn't show us the inside, which is a shame cuz I did want to see the inside of the 9X. Sorry. Uh yeah. Right. Let's quickly
• 88:30 - 89:00 dive through Julie's methanol stand. So, we've done a video on this before. The Verizon home truck over there, you can get a methanol powered version of that. Julie has their own methanol factory here in China that produces methanol from the waste gases from other industries. This is their methanol powered race car. So the chemical compound for methanol there CH30, sorry O, not zero H. They're going to have a racing cup
• 89:00 - 89:30 for methanol powered racing cars. And yes, we are trying to get a drive of that as and when it's ready later this year. It's basically a GM Grand turned into a race car, but it's powered by methanol. So, it's kind of a it's not really a sustainable fuel, but it's it's semi sustainable in that they're reusing energy that would otherwise go up into gas into the atmosphere. They can do something with that and make a fuel out of it. Now, over to G actual, they've got the Galaxy 8. Now, we've driven the
• 89:30 - 90:00 E8. They've also made a hybrid version of that which looks very similar for the most part but is a hybrid so you can do long distances with that. The difference is the interior only has a single screen in the middle there. Doesn't have the 40in screen that goes all the way across the dashboard like the E8 electric version did. But the big thing over here on J on the J stand is this which is the J Galaxy Cruiser concept. This is a very
• 90:00 - 90:30 interesting car. They haven't given us many technical details about it, but this car will float on water for two hours. Can swim at speeds of up to 8.5 kilometers per hour. Very retro chunky off-road styling. We can zoom into the interior a little bit over there. Get you a decent look at that. It looks tiny to me on the camera, but should look bigger on your screen hopefully. It's got satellite connectivity, so you won't get stuck in the desert. You can connect to J satellites up in space if you get stuck.
• 90:30 - 91:00 It can also jump out of sand. So, if you get stuck in sand, you can jump up out of the sand and get back onto solid ground again. It also has autonomous driving ability. It will jump over obstacles in the road, apparently. That's what the video showed us yesterday. Anyway, and some really interesting lights on the back that are kind of like a a large circle bit like the galaxy. So, this kind of like a the lights go like a big circle over the back when it's closed. But there's the boot in there. Side hinge. Looks like
• 91:00 - 91:30 they got a fridge in there, actually. Some kind of cooling unit in the back. That's quite funky. So, yeah, really chunky looking car. I I thought it would be about the same size as an Iicar V23 when I saw it, but it's considerably bigger than that. And it's part of a wider trend that we're seeing at the show for Chinese cars going off-road, like genuine off-road. So, we've we've seen over the past few years many people using cars as an extension of their home, going out into the wild and and spending time glamping. Not
• 91:30 - 92:00 camping, but glamping. I do like the lights on this, by the way. See these? They're quite fun. They stopped doing their animation now, but I like the kind of different segments on there, different crescents. Yeah, boxy defender like styling. That's probably going to become a real car later on this year. You can see in the background it can also get a drone apparently that will scan the road ahead of the car and help it to avoid obstacles up to 80 km per hour. I think they said yesterday, deers jumping out
• 92:00 - 92:30 at you and stuff like that. So yeah, fascinating car. They've also got an update. I'll do this very very quickly. But a very brief faceelift of the J Panda Mini around here. I think I preferred it before. We've got a video coming actually with the Gil Panda Mini, that orange version over there. But this is the updated version which looks a bit like it's wearing glasses now, like the demon head master or something like that. If you ever saw that TV show in
• 92:30 - 93:00 the UK, there kind of evil scientists who wear tiny little circle glasses, make their eyes look really small. And then we've got Lean over here. Lean have just brought the Railan 8 and the Railan 7. This is a battery swap capable car, by the way. Tend to be used as a taxi. That one's also battery swap capable, too, but they're really kind of more for fleets. People don't tend to really buy them as their own car. Now, let's head to Lee Auto. We
• 93:00 - 93:30 thought they were going to bring the i8 to this show. They told us a few days beforehand that they won't, so we're not going to get to see their second electric car, which is a shame. But what we can see is the let me slide past this fell. What they have brought is the Lee Mega home. So the home edition comes with a new trend we're also seeing at this show again. The rotating second row seats and this guy feels the need to dust the inside. The cleaners really kind of
• 93:30 - 94:00 overdo things at these auto shows. They can just sit down for an hour really if they want to. Anyway, I can't get around the back to show you the other side of that. So, I'll just go over here instead. Maybe this guy will let me on this stand. But there you go. Look. So, the second row seats face backwards. And that table kind of pivots around kind of cany levers to each seat individually as you want it. And it goes actually screwed properly into the floor as well.
• 94:00 - 94:30 So, that's kind of the updated version of the Mega, the Mega Home. They've also got a Mega Ultra as well, which comes with some additional new features. I'm not entirely sure what they are because I haven't seen much information on the the Mega Ultra. But there you go. That's the Lee Auto Stand. We'll now head over to Lincoln. This is literally going to be a walk through cuz there's nothing to see at Lincoln. There's nothing new. Got the Lincoln Navigator, of course. I think that's the Navigator, which is a massive, massive
• 94:30 - 95:00 car, but nothing to see at Lincoln. Nothing exciting at all. Right now over to Hongchi, national brand of China, of course. They brought a bus. Luxur luxury travel for for the wealthy and important. They brought the golden sunflower version of their MPV. So, the Sunflower range is like the the really premium stuff. He's chosen the
• 95:00 - 95:30 exact wrong position to stand in there. Is he going to move out the way? Yes. There we go. Give you a brief look in the back of the car there. These stands generally don't let you on quite so easily. This is the I believe this is the Gu. It's not the Guard, but this is I think pretty sure this is the one that the the president gets driven around in. Now, they finally stopped bringing us the concept, which is a shame because the concept's always nice to see at the show, but they've not brought it this time, so we can't make the the traditional call for the president to
• 95:30 - 96:00 drive a fancy car. But they brought the gua, which is this one, and I like that. That's It's got a lot of style that I think. But I believe it's got a 4 L V8 or a a V6 hybrid drivetrain in there, which is mad. Now, Hungry have brought us something new and we can get a good look at it today. It's only a concept at the moment, as you can see. But they
• 96:00 - 96:30 brought us a new SUV, a new electric SUV, the HS. Oh, sorry. No, this is a plug-in hybrid. There is an electric one. I'm sure there was something new. So, yeah, HS9 plug-in hybrid. That's the new look of of Hongchi's and where they're going. I suspect this will be massively powerful, massively spacious. It's got kind of traditional Hongchi design cues, but onto a much more modern looking body on there. And
• 96:30 - 97:00 they also brought us an off-roader. So, this was a big surprise. Brought us this. And I don't know the name of this. Again, it has the same look as the Fang Chung Bao B5 as as the Jat Zong Hen did, but yeah, a proper off-roader from Hongchi there, which would be quite cool if they bring that out. See if we can get a good look at the front. There you go. Off-road. Big ass chunky interpretation
• 97:00 - 97:30 of the Hongchi grill. Looks almost like the gates on an old castle. the job. But that's fun. It's good that they're kind of doing something like that. And this is the EHS9. This has probably been updated. I think it looks ever so slightly more elegant than the than the EHS9 used to look. Has nothing changed inside? Triple screens across the front there, plus one further down. Can't see if anybody's in the back. The dimming on
• 97:30 - 98:00 that rear rear window is massive. Really, really sharp. really dark. Big screen in the back there. Another screen in the middle. So that's the HS EHS9. It's always good to just check in on it. And again, another big surprise on the Hungry Stand. They've got a flying car. Yet another flying car. Don't know any difference any information about this one. I think the name is Tien Moore. Could be wrong with that. Tien something, but this one looks
• 98:00 - 98:30 like again like a kind of a canopy, a module you can take off a vehicle. Let's see. actually that the animation will probably show us. There you go. Look. So, it's a car you can drive around in and then the the canopy will fly onto you and then presumably the car is going to take off in a second. Oh, there you go. So, just it just takes the just takes the top pod off. So, that's quite cool. I've said that a few times now. Now, they have got a few electric cars. We got the Tiangong05 here. They're finally
• 98:30 - 99:00 reluctantly getting into EVs. Pretty simple interior on this though. Not the biggest screen. Very simple design. I still feel like they're not quite really They don't really want to get into EVs. It's kind of kicking and screaming like some of the more historical brands. Just weave my way through all these people. There we go. Also got the Tien Gong 06. This might be a new one actually because they had the Tienong 08
• 99:00 - 99:30 last year. There's your dashboard for the 06. Looks a lot like the 05 that we just saw. Single screen. Yeah, just just mild, you know, not not really not really a big deal, you know. They're not really going at it so much. That's the Tien Gong 08. So, I think the 06 is indeed a smaller SUV. And a new model. They got a few of them. So, yeah, that's the new model, the 06. And then they got a cool concept
• 99:30 - 100:00 over here. I think we've seen this one at previous shows. But I mean, check out the size of it. Look at this. Absolutely enormous. Just dive in here. Look at that interior. Those guys have a nice little chat in there. Now, we got some executives probably from other brands being shown around those cars. So, that's it from Hall six. We'll dive I'll we'll dive in. That's a Huawei stand by the way. They've launched ADS 4.0. It's their latest autonomous driving software.
• 100:00 - 100:30 Hopefully, we'll get to check that out at some point in avatar or something quite soon. But yeah, that's it from this hall. Let's head to hall seven. All righty, here we are in hall seven. We're only four holes down and I've already run out of knees and feet to keep going here. Now, there not going to be a huge amount to talk about in here because most of the brands are really high-end brands like like Bentley, of which you can very clearly easily find information about, and they tend to not really let
• 100:30 - 101:00 you on the stand. Anyway, this one's a mansery stand. So, that's got a really horrific looking bonnet on there. Mansory, just tasteless upgrades, I would say. But I don't have shed loads of money. So maybe I'm wrong. So we'll leave those guys behind. We'll head to Mini. Mini don't have anything new, I don't think. Got the cool Mini Cabrio. That's all right. The electric Mini Cooper. I
• 101:00 - 101:30 think that's the electric one. The Mini. What's this one? This is the old The John Cooper Works Countryman. people just wandering around. Quite chunky. This all all four. I do like the dashboards on these, I have to say. I like the the circular screens and the kind of the rubber strips on the dashboard. Does look quite spacious, but you know, minis are not minis still. Not like that one up there,
• 101:30 - 102:00 which they brought to the show. A genuine 1959 looking Mini Cooper. John Cooper works. still wouldn't mind trying one of these if at some point the opportunity comes. That's the mini Aceman over there. But nothing new at Mini, so I won't go into too much detail about that. What I will do is head over to BMW. These ladies decided to all come at me at the same time. Now BMW kind of torn between new
• 102:00 - 102:30 and old here, so they got the cool sky top concept. I didn't see this this morning. That's quite lovely actually. Bit pointy at the front. But this kind of feels like they're ready to bring us a Z a Z4, a new Z4 or Z5, something like that. But I'm pretty certain it's not going to be electric, especially given that it's sorry, especially given that it's got
• 102:30 - 103:00 exhaust outlets on the back there. But it still looks good. shows that BMW can still do nice designs despite being the company that brought us this, which I think is the i5 or the i7. The ice i7. Yes. So ugly. But yeah, again, just just not really much new here. Let's see. There might be something over there. Let's go and have
• 103:00 - 103:30 a look over at the back. They brought us this concept which I don't think we've seen in China before. The Nea Classer Vision SUV and they're actually letting people get inside that which is good. And a screen that says panoramic vision on it, whatever that means. It's still got a pillars so it's not totally panoramic but get a little look at the interior there. We slide around the back here.
• 103:30 - 104:00 dive in through that gap there. There you go. That's your interior of the screen at the back. Floating screen. And they've got a massive dashboard over here. Look, an enormous dashboard. So, they're showing you what their infotainment looks like in 26K or however much it'll need to have a screen that size. I don't know exactly what's revolutionary about the infotainment. This is the Nosttoana. Didn't know it had that name on it. But
• 104:00 - 104:30 this one's the one with the panels that give you different patterns on them. It's quite interesting. Again, doesn't really feel like a technology that anybody wants. I mean, who wants that one? They can't. Now, this one is just you keep seeing this at the auto shows. I'm just thinking just just make it already. Come on. Going to embrace the future. Make it make it and get on with it. It's like I've seen this for about 3 years now. Of course, they have made it. It's right here.
• 104:30 - 105:00 Sorry. Around the back of other people. BMW 1500. It's cool. I think I used to have a colleague who had one of those and he really loved it. It was a cool car, honestly. Right. Anything else on BMW's stand worth taking a look at? Let's dive through. That is That's an ugly looking car. The X2. I think that's the first time I've seen that in person. Dear
• 105:00 - 105:30 Lord, if I turn the camera around enough. Yeah. Not for me. Not for me. XM M5. I wouldn't say no to an M5 and an M2, which is ugly, but I probably wouldn't say no to it again. or people wandering around aimlessly. Right, let's get to something a little bit more interesting. This is the Neo stand and
• 105:30 - 106:00 it's massively popular over here. What's going on here? Are they doing a demonstration of the suspension? I think they probably are. Oh, here you go. Look. So, the Let me zoom in on that wheel so you can see it. Try and zoom in on this side here. showing you the speed of the refresh of the adaptations on the suspension. Two very just caught the end of it.
• 106:00 - 106:30 That's the ET9 which we're hoping to drive soon. Their most expensive car yet, their most luxurious car yet with a apparently by all accounts fantastic ride quality. Lovely luxurious interior. If I can get you a closer look at one, I will. Let's have a wander around. and see what we can find. I have to ambush somebody else's experience. As you can see, it's the first near with a horizontal screen oval steering wheel. You got screens on both
• 106:30 - 107:00 sides in that black strip across there. In the back, you've got tons of space down there. Got tables that pop out the armrests. You got luxurious rear seats here that can kind of lay back and everything chill out in the back. I believe something like 37 speakers or something like that from from Neo Day from memory. So the ET9 looking forward to trying that one. One that we've just tried is of course the Firefly. Uh let's try and get
• 107:00 - 107:30 into better view of one. Here we go. There's your Firefly with a silver grill instead of a black one. Just been kind of customized this one a little bit. Let's see if we can dive inside one. You can check out our full review on this recently. It's got this is the one with the fabric interior with kind of contrast interior door pockets. It's a lovely car. This actually it's it deserves to be successful. Whether it will be or not is another question, one for debate. I like the lights on the back. I don't like
• 107:30 - 108:00 them on the front. So, a few details about this. Comes with 100 kW DC fast charging which is the same as a Mini. It comes with battery swap capability. However, massive asterisk coming up here only has battery swappability on Neo Generation 5 swap stations of which there are currently either none or very very very few. Of course, in Europe, they won't have those swap stations and I think they're going to be reluctant to build
• 108:00 - 108:30 them given that they need to sort out their finances this year. And equally, it takes a whole year to get a swap station approved in countries like Germany, for example. So, it's just not cost effective. So, they're probably going to be using this as a as a just a normal charging electric car. 105 kW motor on the rear axle. Still get a good amount of boot space in there. 350 L, 400 up to the roof. 1,250. If you fold the rear seats down, you get
• 108:30 - 109:00 space under the rear seat underneath there where that fell sat. They got a seat pocket under there and some pockets under there and around the back of this and a 100 and sorry 92 L frunk in the front that can be drained as well. And it's got really cool handling. This is a rally version which looks worse than the normal one honestly. From the front it's clearly poorly modified just to look vaguely
• 109:00 - 109:30 interesting. You can see there's really no actual engineering going in there. The disc brakes about a thousand miles away from the wheel. But yeah, if they ever made a German touring car version, that's what it would look like. But yeah, so Neo need to sort out finances this year. Firefly is coming to international markets very soon. Left-hand drive markets. Oh, here you go. This one's doing a bit of dancing as well. Zoom in on that so you can see it
• 109:30 - 110:00 shaking. This one scans the road in front of the car and then adjusts the suspension accordingly. So you see it's currently flexibly moving all over the place. It seems to be the suspension experience section. I don't like the way the blue light is reflecting on the roof of the car there. But yeah, so we'll hope to get into that one pretty soon at some point.
• 110:00 - 110:30 Now we're five four and a half holes in. Let's uh let's dive over to Great Wall Motors. We'll start with Suo. Can we go in here? Let's see if the in. Okay. So, I can't get in there. I'll get a photograph of this. This bike. This is a kind of motorbike. It's bit like a Harley-Davidson. No, it's more like a Honda Gold Wing, I think. So, that's quite funky. We got a SUV at the back as
• 110:30 - 111:00 well. This one's done in police colors there. So, we're hoping to also try one of those at some point, but we'll see. We'll see whether we can get one or not. Now, it seems like for some reason they've blocked off the entire stand. I know Great Wall have got a lot of foreign media here at this event. So, maybe they're getting up close with all the cars. We didn't come with Great Wall. We paid our own way. So, we don't get the access. They're staying in a very cool hotel, by the
• 111:00 - 111:30 way. It's it's built into an old quarry and the floors actually go down. So, you you enter on the ground floor and then the 15th floor is 15 floors down, not 15 floors up. Now, the big thing I want to point out. Oh, there's a there's a big celebrity on the stage, I guess. Maybe Le Jun or someone like that. Let me check it. Let me check this out. This is Everyone else is going to EV. Great wall have just made a brand new 4 L V8 engine there. that silver one in the middle. So, yeah, excuse me.
• 111:30 - 112:00 Where are you from? UK. I'm in the middle of the video. Yeah. Wrong time to start a conversation, but yeah. So, that four liter V8 engine on that. Oh, they've also closed off this one as well. Great. So, we're not going to get near any of the cars on the Great Wall stand. Don't understand why they do this on media days. I really don't. They did it yesterday on the J stand and it was a bit annoying to be honest. We couldn't get near the stand. for a few hours while some people were getting shown stuff. But yeah, they've
• 112:00 - 112:30 they've got aura. I mean, they've actually finally shown the ballet cast, which is that kind of Volkswagen beater looking thing behind all those people over there at a motor show. They haven't showed that for a while, but their sales are terrible in China. About a,000 to 3,000 a month depending on the month. So they're just not really getting anywhere with Aura. We also a bit more than Aura, but
• 112:30 - 113:00 not quite where they would hope them to be. These are we are hybrids. So you got the way Gaoan NPV there with as gaudia grill as they come and the way Lanchan over at the back and then they've got the Wei mocka over here. That's the way mocker which has been updated a little bit to get a new kind of facelift and some new tech in there. Let's just slide behind
• 113:00 - 113:30 these ladies. And then of course you got Haval. I don't feel like Haval ever update their cars. I feel they're generally the same every time. But of course we can't get close to them cuz the whole stand is closed off for some reason. So, we're not getting on the Great Wall stand, and that's nothing to do with us. So, apologies for that. They have got though the new I think this is called the Shaolong, which is kind of a smallish
• 113:30 - 114:00 SUV. Still a plug-in hybrid. So, Great Wall. They're not even being dragged kicking and screaming into electrification. They're just not even kicking and screaming. They just don't care. They're just ready to to stick it out with petrol and hope that the market comes back to them. Now Lotus of course little brief thing to talk about Lotus because they have brought the prologue concept. I think it's called the prologue concept. Theory, sorry, theory one, not prologue. What man about?
• 114:00 - 114:30 Theory one concept. First time they brought this to a motor show in China. I like that interior. Look at that. It's like full carbon fiber. A few light bits of of padding on there for you to sit on. central central seat. You got kind of lights going up the door there. I don't know if you can see those. Let's dribble around here to the back. Get a good look. Sorry, the front, not the back. Looks a bit like the the Ferrari at the front. A lot of carbon fiber. Let's hope they build that. I mean, that would be quite
• 114:30 - 115:00 cool. They they want more light more lightweight cars cuz they're recent electric cars. the lecturer and a a mayor. Here's a mayor, by the way. They're they're still quite heavy, which isn't really in keeping with the Lotus DNA, but if they can make the the theory one concept, that would be quite nice. There you go. That is Lotus. We're hopefully going to be driving these soon, by the way, as well. So, stay tuned to the channel. So, we'll check those out on a racetrack. Right, off to
• 115:00 - 115:30 the next hall. Okay, here we are in hall eight, our sixth hole so far. This is the last of the halls on the ground floor. We're going to head up to the second floor after this. This is Kurder, one of the MPV modifier companies. I don't know how much longer they're going to be in business given that cars like the Z9, Lee Mega, Xpunk X9, and more to come are really doing lovely things with interiors already. People don't need a van converted into a a chandelier on
• 115:30 - 116:00 wheels. Well, Lexus, what have they got for us? I believe we've got a new car at Lexus. Let's see if we can find it. It's the updated ES from memory. I do have some information about it, I believe, in my phone. So, the Lexus ES is not sure that's here it is at the back. Okay, there's your Lexus ES.
• 116:00 - 116:30 and uh trying out this where this guy's live stream. Lot of live streams going on, right? There's a good view of the ES. So, this is 165 cm longer than the existing Sorry, that must be millimeters. 16.5 cm longer than the existing ES which we still have on the stage. And it will come in 350E, this is 350E and 500E electric versions. Now, it should also come, I would assume, with hybrid versions as
• 116:30 - 117:00 well. It doesn't really look like an EV, which is perhaps what they're going for. They don't show us the interior on this. Looks very much like a Neo ET7 there at the back, doesn't it? It's got a ET7 look about it. Can't really get you a good shot of the inside. There's a kind of look at it. Can't tell you how much my legs are killing me at this point, by the way. But yeah, that's the ES from Lexus. Let's see what else we can find.
• 117:00 - 117:30 This is the GR MN. So, they got a kind of a Fenix brand or something like that. And that's looks like like a sporty version of that SUV. They're all behind glass. So, there's an oldfashioned version. UWG60. I
• 117:30 - 118:00 mean, it's kind of cool, honestly. Actually debating what I think about it. That's obviously an original over there. And this one as well, VG40. That one feels like it's still It might still be a historical model, but it kind of looks No, 2018 to now. So, yeah, it is an existing model. Okay. And then of course the LC500 hybrid. So interesting news about Lexus if you didn't know, but they are going to be
• 118:00 - 118:30 the second car company. Here we go. Lexus are going to be the second car company to have a wholly owned factory in China after Tesla. Tesla's factory must be about 10 years old now. They were the first company to wholly own their factory. So, as I've already explained, the foreign brands used to have to do joint ventures. So, they were their cars are built in factories by
• 118:30 - 119:00 other brands. So, Jaguar Land Rover is with Cherry, for example. Audi and Volkswagen with SIC and FAW. And Lexus is going to have their own factory. So, they're going to make cars in China in a factory owned completely by themselves. So we got here a Toyota BZ 5 city go concept. So it very much looks like a Toyota in the current design language. This one of course does come with liar on top. So it should have some autonomous driving capability. Interior.
• 119:00 - 119:30 This is going to be built on someone else's platform. I believe they have two joint ventures in China. I can't remember which ones they are honestly. I think we've got Dongfong and maybe GAC. This feels like it's based on the BZ4 in terms of that overall interior look. Very big long dashboard there. Bit of space under the middle. Still feels like a Japanese car in the way that it looks. It just has a slightly old-fashioned vibe to it. Do like the
• 119:30 - 120:00 head-up display kind of sticking out the dashboard there though. I mean, they look neat actually. The styling is quite cool on these. I'm a big fan of the styling. That one is a full bev full electric car. They have a few, I believe, on this stand. This is a recently released BZ 3X. This is based on the Ion V SUV, and it's a sixseater, I think. No,
• 120:00 - 120:30 it's a 5-seater. I'm wrong. This one, actually, though, look, this guy's got Hang on. Let's just dive in the back here. This guy's got a projector in the back of the car, plugged into this mount on the roof here, so he can chill out. We can lie those front seats down and watch a watch a movie in the back of the car. If you don't want to do that at home, you can do it in the car. Super super cheap this 10 and something,000 R&B, fully electric, really affordable, and it seems to have gone down quite well. At least the sales numbers sounded
• 120:30 - 121:00 good at the start, but I haven't seen any on the road yet. Now, a few more concepts. BZ7. There we go. I think I have some information on BZ7. Just give me a moment to check it. This one is with GAC, GAC Toyota, and it's the first Toyota to come with Harmony OS, which is Huawei's operating system inside. Now, I don't think it's going to come with Huawei's autonomous driving system. Could be wrong, but
• 121:00 - 121:30 there are no ADS symbols on it. Let's see if we can have a quick look at the interior. There's your interior. Bit of wood in there. Nice screen. Lots of highway speakers. It does, to be honest. Quite long, quite graceful. Not sure which car that is based on cuz GAC don't do a long car like that. So, that's interesting. We'll have to see what platform that one's based on. Anything else around here?
• 121:30 - 122:00 4X. That's Everyone's seen that one before. So that's the GAC one. I think they have another one with FAW as well. Now standard Toyota, of course. You got the Grand Via, I think this one's called. Got the Alfad Alard. And it's oldfashioned compared to new stuff. You got old fridge down there. Big chunky old seats. Guide. Little tiny screen comes down from the top.
• 122:00 - 122:30 Ventilation hybrid style just yeah looks like a looks like an old car inside. It's not up to standard against the Lee Mega and things like that. Right, let's scooch across the back of Toyota. So many live streamers here. As I said, it is good though. This year it seems like the Shanghai authorities or not authorities, the the Shanghai show
• 122:30 - 123:00 organizers, they have restricted the number of people that can come to the show. So, it's much more breathable this year. It's far less dense. You can see much more. You can get closer to more vehicles. It's not as hot. That's kind of down to the weather though, but it's not as a lot of people around. It does get hot. So I'm I'm much happier this year. I think a lot of people one thing one downside of that though is it does feel
• 123:00 - 123:30 like the the vibe is is a bit cooler than in previous years. It doesn't feel quite so exciting. A lot of brands launched their car earlier before the show. Some didn't bring cars that we expected them to bring. So yeah, the the the overall mood feels a little little bit more sort of somber and chilled than in previous years, which is probably a good thing in terms of, you know, getting access to cars and stuff. Anyway, onto Nissan. So this is the N7. This is their new fully
• 123:30 - 124:00 electric car. I'm going to just poke my camera at the window there. There's your interior. Some lovely soft touch materials in there. Fast screen. Looks like these fellas have got a lot of room in the back there as well for their legs. So yeah, it looks it quite looks quite nice. I think it's looks sleek. I think Nissan with Dongfong. So this should be a Dongfong Dongfang Nissan. Although it's called Jung Joe Nissan, so I think they're built in
• 124:00 - 124:30 Jung. Yeah, no liars. It doesn't seem like they're going for autonomous stuff. Feels a bit empty. The whole middle of the stand's missing here, but they brought a pickup truck. Look at that. the Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid. It's a floor feel like it's very fast moving. So, yeah, there you go. There's your pickup truck. Let's have a quick dive in here. Have a look at these materials. Got nice metal grates on the speakers. Got kind of suedy stuff on the dashboard. Not
• 124:30 - 125:00 sure the color scheme, but got a wireless charger in there. Good screen, chunky handle. So, I'm not sure why they're showing it here, but because Char doesn't really buy pickup trucks. Back seats look reasonably spaced in there. And a big bed. I do like the yellow. There's your bed. Frontier Pro. So, yeah. Nissan with a with a pickup truck, which is cool. But it really feels weird. I feel like I'm feel like I'm walking against a stream
• 125:00 - 125:30 or something on this floor. Does it make the car look faster? No, cuz the wheels aren't spinning. But yeah, I like that color. It's a great color. Look at that. Oo. Yeah. Oh, they've also brought uh what's this? They've also brought over here, I think, a Formula E car. Pretty sure they're in Formula E. Yeah, there you go. There's a Formula E car at the back. So, yeah. Yeah, I mean,
• 125:30 - 126:00 let's call let's call it a slightly more advanced, a better stand for Nissan this year. Although, well, I'll tell you what, what's going to happen here is they've got N7s everywhere. What's going to happen is tomorrow they're going to bring in all the other cars as well. So, they've just got N7s and the Frontier Pro. So, the real focus here is on their electrification with the with the one model currently. It seems they haven't even shown area of course, but they
• 126:00 - 126:30 probably will have Arya and the the Silfie and all those kind of things tomorrow as well. Right, BYD. Let's get ready for this one, okay? Cuz this is going have launched about 10 new models this year. There's so much to talk about with BYD. Of course, they launched their free autonomous or their free ADAS functions for all their cars. Not autonomous, but free ADAS functions. They've launched a whole bunch of cars. So, this one
• 126:30 - 127:00 is the Sea Lion 05. This one will probably go abroad. Let's see if we can get a quick look at the inside. This lady's presenting stuff inside, so I'm not going to interrupt her on there. Let's just show you the back of the car, though. There you go. Quite funky lights, but they're hidden under that sort of black panel there, so they're kind of well concealed. This one feels like uh uh what kind of size car would that be? It's a full EV according to the
• 127:00 - 127:30 badge on the back. And I believe it's going to go to Australia, probably some other markets, too. It's kind of a midsize SUV, I think. All right. We've also got another new car. This one, this was just revealed in the MIIT filings the other day. This is the Sea Lion 06. This one will come in EV and plug-in hybrid forms, I believe, with either 160 or 170 kW motors on the rear axle, depending on if you get the plug the
• 127:30 - 128:00 plug-in hybrid or the EV. They kind of gone for a much more smoother rear end on the back there. Try not to get in the way of this guy's camera shot. So, this one should replace this one. This is the CLU in some markets. It's the Sea Lion 6 in some markets. That is going out out with the Sea Lion 6. Should be replaced by this one. That guy's gone. So I will now quickly dive into the interior. Show you what the Sea Lion 6 looks like. So
• 128:00 - 128:30 that's the dashboard. Big black panel, big screen in the middle. Probably does the rotating thing as well. Single wireless charger. Then you got a fridge. Look in the armrest. There's a fridge and also a heater. So that's even making it. It's only got about space for four little drinks cans in there, but it's making it into all their models now. A lot of them are getting to have these these fridges and heaters in there. We've also got a Sea Lion 07 DMP. Says DMI on the plate. It says DMP
• 128:30 - 129:00 on the car. So, this is another SUV from BYD. See if we can get a good look at the front of it. Let's dive around the back of this fella here. So, that's a bit more upright. And you might have noticed something weird about this car. So, you know, you got the Cine 7. This is the hybrid version, which looks a bit chunkier than the standard Cine 7 up there on the roof. You've got a drone box. So, you'll be able to follow people around. Throw the car around. Not people. Follow the car around with the
• 129:00 - 129:30 drone on the roof of the car, which is quite mad. Now, we seem to have a concept as well. No one told me about this. They didn't show this anywhere yesterday. Look at that. I like that. That looks really sleek. It's clearly a concept. I mean, look at the look at the interior. You can already see it's a concept just by looking at the outside. And of course, dust must be pouring down from the ceiling cuz no one's on the stand to
• 129:30 - 130:00 touch it, but the cleaner's still doing his job. He's being paid, so I can't complain. What else? This is another concept. This is Dynasty D, which feels like the concept version for I do like that. Looks really nice. Looks really nice. This looks like a concept for the Tang, but it's clearly a massive SUV. The Tang will be here, by the way. As I said, they've launched a shedload of new
• 130:00 - 130:30 cars this year. It's just almost impossible to keep up with BYD, even when you live eyeballs deep in this industry. So, this is the Tang L. This is one of two new cars including the Han L which is behind it I think over there. No, I can't see where the Han L is but it will be here. This one will do megawatt fast charging. So BYD stunned the automotive world earlier this year by announcing 10C charging on a 100 kWh
• 130:30 - 131:00 battery. So 1 megawatt charging, 400 km of range can be added in 5 minutes. This one has kind of a a new look face. Wheels look a little bit small on that body. It's a big SUV. And again, you can get that with a drone that will follow you around so you can record your adventurers on the street. It should be quite a good drone to avoid hitting all the cables that go over the road here in China. The ones that haven't yet been
• 131:00 - 131:30 put underground. Han. Where is the Han? Is this the Han? This is the new No, that's not a Han, is it? Oh, no. This is the Chin L. Oh, I've been waiting to see this one. Another new car. Ah, Chin L. Okay. Fully electric car from BYD. You can tell I'm getting tired now. See, they've started to put the the the turquoise autonomous lights on the cars as well. This one's actually really quite good. I like the way this one looks. Very funky looking
• 131:30 - 132:00 car. Looks quite sleek. Much better than the existing chin. I'll dive inside the window here. So, you got your screen there in the middle, which should be able to rotate, but I can't see a button on the screen to make it do so. Single wireless charger. Fairly nice interior. Again, you get a fridge in the armrest and a heater in there as well. You also get head-up display on this. And in the back, you get good amount of space. So, this will
• 132:00 - 132:30 be really popular with ride hailing cars, I would say. Maybe even public buyers, private buyers might buy those as well. Sorry, the Momena stands quite loud, so I hope you can still hear me. From experience, it should still be okay. Yuan up. This one should be in Europe, I think, as the AT 2. The AT the Yuan Plus. It's an updated version of the AT 3. And where's the Han
• 132:30 - 133:00 L? The Han L's got to be around somewhere. Here's a Blackmth Wukong car. Oh, look. There you go. Tang L Donapin Blackmouth Wukong patterns and style. And here's the Han L EV. There you go. Now, another interesting feature about the Tang L, which is the SUV, and the Han L, they come with the most powerful mass-produced electric motor for a car in the world. So, you can basically get a 580 kW motor. That's
• 133:00 - 133:30 about 700 and something horsepower on a single axle on this car on the back. So, this car will be super fast. They haven't told us how fast it will be, but it will be blisteringly quick. This one also comes with, of course, PYD's new battery, 10C fast charging, 100 kWh battery. Inside, it's got some refreshments. Looks a little bit different. So, they got rid of those kind of weird little vents they had on the side. Still got a big screen in the middle. Still only have a single wireless charger, which I'm a little bit
• 133:30 - 134:00 disappointed about. But in the back, it looks like our rear seat passengers here. I can't really see. It's too dark, honestly. See if I can get around the back. There's a lot of interest in this car, as there is in all the BYDs, it would seem. But there you go. There's the Han L. So, it should be very Does it say on the back how fast it is? Let's have a look. 2.7 seconds 0 to 100 km/h. So yeah, that one comes with God's
• 134:00 - 134:30 IB. So to explain BYD's autonomous driving systems, they have God's IC, which is cameras and radars, but no liar. That will do highway autonomous driving and elevated highway and memory based urban autonomous driving, i.e. a route that you've driven a lot. You can get God's IB, which is one LAR unit that will do autonomous driving in the
• 134:30 - 135:00 highway and in the urban areas. And you got God's IC, which you'll see on the Yang Wang stand if we can get onto it, which is triple LAR. Does the same stuff as this one, presumably a little bit better and a little bit safer. Is there anything that I've missed? Let's take a look. There's a song L. We've reviewed that one. Looks a bit more off-road and aggressive that one for some reason. Sea Lion 6. There's your Chin L. So, that's a better look at it. It looks like a a
• 135:00 - 135:30 small seal basically. Standard seal. Oh, here we go. Yeah, this this one also released under the MIIT filings recently. Is the CEO 6 DMI wagon. So, this is about 16 cm, I think, something like that. Longer than a CO6 GT, which we reviewed on the channel. This one, of course, is a wagon. Nice kind of diffuser. Look down there. Let's pop up the trunk. See how big it is in the back. This one should be going abroad, I would guess, cuz Chinese don't buy that many estates. Big
• 135:30 - 136:00 boot. Yeah, that's good. I would say a good 450 to maybe 500 L in there. And little tiny bit of space in the boot floor. Not as much as we maybe hope in there. Let's pop that trunk back down again. Boot. Sorry. Let's have a quick dive in the front. Is it open? It's open. So, the interior again, just standard BYD fair really. Little bit of fabric on the dashboard. They don't usually use fabrics. That's new. Soft squidgy stuff.
• 136:00 - 136:30 Same seal. Same seal steering wheel. Same fridge in the armrest in there. I'm going have to take one of those bottles of water soon. Sorry, I'm being attacked by Sorry. Sorry. Falling over the cable guy. Cable guy. There he is. And then we've got the uh the dol the uh yes, dolphin. That's right. God, it's hard to keep up, honestly. This is the updated Dolphin, which just check out the boot space under there. Look at that. Wow. Loads of boot space. Thank you. So,
• 136:30 - 137:00 yeah, updated Dolphin. It's got a a bit of a new look to it. Again, also gets the fridge in the armrest. I That's got to be a tiny fridge. Come on. That's like That's like two bottles. I was getting two cans in there. All righty. Yeah. 50 W wireless charger vented down there at the front. Smaller screen like the eyeball vents in there. Can't believe it gets a fridge. Unbelievable. I haven't I've still never
• 137:00 - 137:30 driven the Dolphin. So, I've got to get hold of one of these. I'm going to ask uh ask BYD if they can get hold of one for me. Give it a go. Slightly more neat front end on that. Now, can I just check? The Seagull does not get a fridge, right? No, it doesn't. Okay. I was just want to see if if the Seagull got a fridge, but that's probably the only car in the BYD range that doesn't come with an armrest fridge. I mean, you could literally do a whole video on BYD. Actually, some other YouTubers do. Getting cotton mouth now. Talking
• 137:30 - 138:00 too much. Right. So, a lot a lot of stuff going on at BYD. Oh, this is called the Oceanes S concept. There you go. Just spotted the name for it. So they had the Ocean M and the Ocean M led to the CEO 6 GT that we drove. So if they got an Ocean S concept, there's a reasonable chance that we're going to get a a new large saloon from BYD in future, which may sit above the
• 138:00 - 138:30 Han. Let's see. Now, another brand you will probably not be hearing of abroad, but you'll be seeing their products, Fang Chung Bao. So, BY has Fang Chung Bao, Denza, Yang Wang, and of course, BYD. Four brands. Fang Chung Bao going to international markets badged as Denzas. So, they've got the Thai 3, which is a compact SUV. Haven't seen this in person yet, so
• 138:30 - 139:00 I'm looking forward to having a quick look at this. This has got proper diff locks and stuff on it. It's a real off-roader. Got diff locks down there. Same ice cube buttons down the middle there. You also get a fridge, I think, in the armrest as well. This guy's got some great music choice on in here. Now, this one, is there anybody in the back? Don't think there is. Let's dive in here. Really good value car this one for a car that can do real off-road stuff. As I mentioned earlier, we are starting to get a trend to more off-road cars here in China. more genuine off-roaders.
• 139:00 - 139:30 This one is fully electric. So unlike the Fang Chung Bao Bow 5 and Bow 8. This is the Bow 8. These are hybrids. The Bow the Tai 3 which will probably come as a Denza T3 I would guess to Australia. There's a look at the boot space in the Tai 3. Yeah, that one is fully electric and reasonably powerful actually. And you can get the TY3
• 139:30 - 140:00 with a drone box on the roof. So, another BYD that comes with a drone box so that you can fly a drone and record your off-road adventures from the sky. Now, the B5 we've done Denza B5, Fang Bow, Bow 5. We've reviewed that on the channel. It's a bit old now, so it's so it's not the newest thing. This is the bow 8 which has been tuned it seems to make the kind of the cyerspace look that we saw earlier
• 140:00 - 140:30 limited edition. This one comes with a triple lidar setup on the top. The fang bow cars by the way they use the Huawei ads system. So BYD, Denza, and Yang Wang all use the God's Eye system, but Fang Chung Bao uses the Huawei system. So there you go. That's got That's going to get the to be honest, it's probably going to be better than the BYD system, but we'll have to see. Right, here's Yang Wang. Can we get on
• 140:30 - 141:00 the Yang Wang stand without queuing up? Because we've got a new car from Yang Wang. Their sales are not that great. They're down to about 200 a month at the moment. We should be able to get on. There doesn't seem to be a queue. There used to always be a queue for Yang Wang. Always. So, it's kind of a a sign of the reduced number of people they've got. There's the U9. Ah, looks good in that red. What a fantastic color that
• 141:00 - 141:30 is. Let's go and check out the U7. Last time we didn't get to see the interior. Now, I'd love to hear your opinion on whether this what this looks like, whether you like that front end or not. I think it's too pointy for my liking. Yang just doesn't feel that elegant if I'm being totally honest. But check out the interior. Looks like the Yang Wong U8 interior. Curved screen embedded into the dash.
• 141:30 - 142:00 You get a screen on this side as well. Screen on the other side. You get a fancy big sound system in there. You probably get a fridge in the armrest or in the back somewhere like that. Yep. You get a fridge down there in the back. Lot of space. Can we get into the other side? Are they doing a a video in here? Let's see. Is she doing a video? We got a light in there. So, I'm not going to interrupt those guys. See if I can look in the back where this gu is looking. There's a look in the back of
• 142:00 - 142:30 the car. Just dive the camera in there. So, you see you get tray tables that pop out here. Rear screens as well. As I said, this one's got a connected center console compared to the last one. This is a four-seater version, which means you can probably recline these seats quite a lot. You get armrests and little screens in there. You get real wood, kind of polished wood in the door, and yeah, looks very low to the ground. That one's going to come with all that fancy suspension. You see it all on this model here, this stripped out model.
• 142:30 - 143:00 Quick look at the dashboard in there. This one will do basically what the Neo ET9 will do. So I think it's called Dissus Z suspension, I think it is, which is BYD's most expensive, most fancy suspension that keeps the car nice and flat. I think the U8 also has it. And speaking of the U8, we've got over here the U8 L. She's filming on that side, so I'll try and go around this side here. This is a a long
• 143:00 - 143:30 wheelbase version of the U8. This one's a six-seater. Slide around the back of this lady here. This one's got massive wheels on it. I think they're 23 in if I'm not mistaken. Let me have a quick look through there. Can't see the size. I'm pretty sure they're 23 in. Yes, 23in wheels on there. It's a long wheelbase version.
• 143:30 - 144:00 Presumably, you can get a four-seater with even more space in the back, but it's a six-seater. This one, I believe, will go down a storm in the United Arab Emirates and places like that. Looks looks as as as brutal as the normal U8, but of course, comes with triple LAR setup. So, the God's eye a is it A or C? A I think it is. C is for the the smaller cars. Yeah. So, this U7, coming back to
• 144:00 - 144:30 the U7, it will have, I believe, three or four motors, well over 1,000 horsepower. It's going to be rapidly fast. Should be really, really smooth. As and when we ever get a chance to to drive one, we shall see. Let's go. Let me out here. Yes. Thank you, Shia. All righty. What have we got now? Denza. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Here we are. Denza have got a car that I want to show you. That car
• 144:30 - 145:00 is not at the front of the stand. I must be at the back. That's why everyone's crowding around to the back. So, Denza, as I mentioned, another BYD brand here. I already filming there and just walked in right into the shop. Here you go. There's the Denza Zed. That's nice, isn't it? It's got kind of like hints of Lotus mixed with it's got slightly Lamborghini like headlamps there. Now, of course, this
• 145:00 - 145:30 debuted as a concept car in Beijing last year under the Fang Chung Bao brand, but Function Bao is an off-road car brand, whereas Denza does other things. So, we haven't got too much information about the Zed just yet. But, it looks pretty wonderful, I have to say. Looks great blue color with the yellow hints. Should be I reckon they'll do it in EV and hybrid form. Hybrid will probably get a boxer engine. Forgot to mention the Yang Wang U7 has a boxer engine to support
• 145:30 - 146:00 its hybrid system. Can get an electric version as well with four motors. This one will probably get the four motors in electric form and it should be a two-seater coupe with a massive rear spoiler on it. So that's exciting exciting stuff from Denza. Finally finally being unleashed now that they're away from the the the ravages of being part owned by Mercedes. So they've also got here the Denza D9 that's getting on a little bit now. We've got the Denza Z9
• 146:00 - 146:30 in saloon form over there and in shooting brake form over here. Still hoping to review this at some point as well and go into the details of it because it's a it's a curio this one. A lot of interesting things in it that you can debate whether you want them or not or whether they're a good idea or not. But I have the camera in the back there. There's your rear seats. You can get it in four and five seat form. I think electric doors as well. Bunch of
• 146:30 - 147:00 screens. Got a fridge in the back. It's got a pretty feline aggressive front end. And we've also got the N9. I can show you the N9 which is behind the rope here. Let's go up to the this one at the back. So the N9 is a competitor for the Lincoln Co 900 and the Ito M9/M8 models. This one is a six-seater SUV. As
• 147:00 - 147:30 you can see, also comes with a screen that folds down from the roof up there. Comes with luxurious second row seats and you can move them inwards and also move them backwards using these switches here. You've got a large screen in the front and a screen embedded in the dashboard side for the passenger. Pretty decent sound system. Should be DVLA. DVLA French premium sound system in there. Lots of high-end materials. See in the rear seats there. Let's just dive
• 147:30 - 148:00 that gap. There's your rear seats. I think they come with heating but not with not with massage functions. And you get a lot of speakers. And I'm just sliding that camera through the gap there. It's not easy. So there you go. That's the uh that's the Denza D N9 SUV. That one comes with the E3 system. So you get triple motor setup on the D9. And again, we're going to try and hopefully drive that one soon. If I can get all of these cars that I want, I'll be pretty happy. But let's let's see
• 148:00 - 148:30 what we can do. Right, that's the end of hall eight. Let's get my breath back and head to our final two halls, 6.2 and 5.2. All righty, here we are in our second to last hall. If you've made it this far, congratulations. Solid effort getting this far into the video. Let's have a quick look at Voya. So Voya have got their new updated free. Sorry, the camera is pointing the wrong direction.
• 148:30 - 149:00 to the free plus. Now, what's different about this is you get this shiny lightup grill at the front there. A more softer looking front end. I believe this is the electric version of the car, but they also have an extended range version of it as well. Now, the big difference with this is it comes now with the Huawei ADS system. So you get what's widely considered the best autonomous driving system on the market
• 149:00 - 149:30 in the Voyer free. Now it's also available on the Voya Dreamer over there, the purple one, which has also been updated. Think they call it Shangh. But this is a luxury four seat version. See? See, we got a big screen in the back there, which actually looks like it's being projected onto it. So, I'm not 100% certain that that one isn't a concept because that screen didn't really look Sorry, that screen didn't
• 149:30 - 150:00 really look like a a a high high quality screen, right? What else have we got also here? So, actually, this is the Dong stand, not the Voyer stand. So, Dongfong have several brands. Voyer is one of them. Nami is another. So, this is the Nami brand. They've got the Nami Nami 01, which is like a small family car. This one's a 06, which is a more boxy SUV. That lady's filming in the
• 150:00 - 150:30 background there. So, this one's actually Oh, I I thought it would. I knew it. I knew it. It's got a drop down tailgate. Split tailgate. See? Let me just put this boot lid down here quietly if I can. I wondered what that thick line was for on the picture that I had and now I know what it's for because it's a split tailgate. So, there you go. So, you get a proper like rubbery carpet in here to
• 150:30 - 151:00 do some really rugged off-road stuff. I'll try and get a look at another one cuz this lady's filming. I don't want to interrupt her in there. Voyage Way Guang. It's been updated seemingly a little bit. We've filmed that one before. We haven't filmed the Voya Courage over here. So, we need to try and film that one at some point. Let's cruise across the stand. We've got the EI008 over there, which we've filmed before. Epi is another Dongfong brand. Another Dongfang brand is Four Thing, which is this one.
• 151:00 - 151:30 It's the Four Thing S7. That's the most aerodynamic mass-produced car in the world. Little known fact. So, there you go. There's another four thing S7. They also got Mongure. They've got a new car. This one, which is the 817. So the 917 was the first one. This is the 817. Actually, this one might still Yeah, this is the 817. Yes. So, not entirely sure what the main differences with the 817 is yet. I haven't seen any
• 151:30 - 152:00 details of it. They've also got Aololis. So, yet another brand. So, that's what have we got? Voya, Nami, Four Thing, Eie, Aololis, and Monure. So, at least six brands. Now, this one, by the way, is also going to be rebadged as a head moss. So, yeah, if you're getting confused right now, let me try and explain. A head moss is a conjugation of head and most. And it's going to be basically built
• 152:00 - 152:30 by or for Stellantis, I think, for Peugeot and sorry, no, not Stantis, Peugeot and Citroen. Anyway, this is the this is the Monae M817. Let's see if we can get close enough to look at one inside. So, I want to see if the 817 has the same the same handgun handles inside. It does. So, you see over there, look, I look in the other side there's
• 152:30 - 153:00 handles over there. Look like a handgun, like a Glock, I think. I don't really know the I don't really know guns to be honest, but yeah. Although that one's the 917, I think. So that's why we can get inside. So they're not letting us in the 817 yet. They've only shown us the 817, which is this one, but they haven't allowed us to get into it. So I can't give you too much information on that one. Oh, actually here. No, still a 917. So yeah, that's the that's the 817 there. That the N the 917 is a
• 153:00 - 153:30 very expensive car, by the way. Quite a premium package. And I think it comes with either three or four motors. So, it's electric or you can get it as a hybrid. There's a Laurensa version. Not going to spend any time on Laurens, I'm afraid. They're just not not to my taste. I'll quickly I'll quickly walk through the rocks stand. So, Rocks still
• 153:30 - 154:00 only have the one car at the moment, which is the 01. I've literally got one of these in the hotel car park downstairs. So, review of that is coming very, very soon. Now, something of maybe more interest would be Envo. Envo now confirmed for some international markets, including the UK. Whether they'll bring this beast or not, I don't know. This is a 5.2 meter, I think, fully electric battery
• 154:00 - 154:30 swappable SUV. I think it's a six-seater. It has envos lights on the back and kind of on the front this sort of split headlamp look that's a bit like polestar. That's the L60 which is really not selling super great. They've just changed their boss recently because he promised a lot of sales and didn't deliver. So, they've swapped him out for the guy in charge of the power swap company. But this is a really nice car by the way. Give you a brief look inside
• 154:30 - 155:00 the uh lovely simple interior in there. Big screen, massive space in the rear seats. It's a Model Y competitor. Absolutely. But just not on sales. Now, one thing that they're showing off here is a 200 and let me get the exact figure for you. One second. 200 and 40 240 liter knockable frunk. And
• 155:00 - 155:30 there it is. So you can put a little seat down there and sit in the front of the car. Two people can sit in there. Not that I would want to sit in there with someone else. I think it's a little bit too narrow for two people of a large size. But yeah, 240 L frunk. Basically a frunk with a car attached. And they they've only given us a few details about the L90. I shall give you them right now. 900 volt platform. It will come with either 340 kW motor on the rear axle or
• 155:30 - 156:00 340 kW motor on the rear and 100 kW motor on the front for 440 kW in total. And it comes with air suspension as well. But they haven't revealed anything about the interior. Nothing at all. So I want to see if this guy can demonstrate the knock for me. Let's see if we can uh get someone to demonstrate the knock. Anybody do the knock. Apparently, you can knock on the bonnet and it'll open up. But let's see these ladies here.
• 156:00 - 156:30 Sorry. Just bear with me. This lady is going to try and do it. Okay. Okay. I want to show the knock the knock trick. I'm pretty sure I can just step into the stand and knock on it. Surely the knock. Sorry. Just Just bear with me one second. The knock. Can you do the knock bonnet? Yeah. Yeah. Just
• 156:30 - 157:00 want to show it on camera. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, here you go. He's going to do it now. There you go. Knocks on the bonnet. And there goes your frunk. It's a power front. 240 L in there. As said, you can get your cushions in there and seats as well. Thank you very much. There we go. So, sorry for keeping you waiting there while you uh got to live out my fantasies as a bonnet knocker. That doesn't sound right at all, does it? Anyway, right now, another big disappointment at the show. We
• 157:00 - 157:30 really hoped we were going to get the Xiaomi UI or U7, but they haven't brought it. And as you can see, the queue that normally wraps all the way around the stand is no longer a queue. So, everyone's already seen the the Sous7. What I will do, actually, and I will go in because I'll show you the Sue7 Ultra, which we haven't driven yet, but we would like to drive. Xiaomi don't seem to be very
• 157:30 - 158:00 interested in letting foreigners drive their cars. So, we have to rent one, which is about 3,000 R&B a day, depending on which city you rent it in. So, we just wait through this queue. I'll take us to the back in a moment. They're going to give out water, but I don't need water. It's okay. Let me uh just take you straight to an ultra if I can find you one. This pink one should be an ultra. This is a a birthday edition. Is
• 158:00 - 158:30 it an ultra? No. Look, it is. Ultra's at the back. And it seems like it's cordoned off, but I'll show it to you anyway. So, this is the standard SU7, as you know. Already super powerful. Quite prone to people crashing in, it would seem. But then you've got this one. I'll show I'll go with the green one cuz the green one's nice. Look at the color. There you go. This, like the Zika 009, comes with gold. That's a goldplated
• 158:30 - 159:00 logo on the front there. Lovely green color. You can get it in silver like that one over there. Also in yellow. This one basically is just rapid. Super super quick. I've actually forgotten all the details of it. 2 point something. I think it's 1.98 seconds. 0 to 100 km/h. Let's take a quick dive into that cabin there through the window. See if we can follow this fell in. Windows down. So, I'm just going to dive in. So, there's your
• 159:00 - 159:30 standard. So, you can see we got some carbon fiber in here on the steering wheels. Got lovely suede seats. We've got carbon fiber in the middle as well. Cameras on the side. Big spoiler at the rear. Massive diffuser. I said this one will do some crazy speeds. And surprisingly, we haven't seen that many crashes yet. They're sold out completely. for the first year. This one's quite cool. The yellow seat belts. There you go. Sorry, that was a quick movement. Hopefully, it didn't make you
• 159:30 - 160:00 sick. Yeah, it looks a lot like the standard one, but just a little bit more sporty. And hang on, I got caught. Sorry. Got my cable caught here. Thank you. Got my charging cable, which is charging my phone. Caught on the fence there. Thought I was about to pull something down. But yeah, so that's the that's the Shami SU7. As I said, bit of a shame we didn't get the U7 and the stand is clearly less busy than it was before, but as soon as the next auto show comes,
• 160:00 - 160:30 you can guarantee it's going to be absolutely packed. Now, here we are at CL. Big things to talk about here because hello. Some big things to talk about here because I've just been to CL the last couple of days. Some massive developments. I've also driven something just like this. So, they have a platform, a chassis, skateboard chassis. The first one was the generation one. That's what I drove on a setup very much
• 160:30 - 161:00 like this. Literally a skateboard chassis with a seat and a steering wheel. This is the Gen 2 chassis or the bedrock chassis possibly. Not certain. And this one comes, as you can see, there's no steering column. So, it's steer by wire. This one should also be brake by wire. So, I'll have a video, very quick video of us driving that skateboard chassis coming out very soon. But, as I said, three major announcements from CL. We talked about BYD doing 10C charging and 1 megawatt charging. CL two days ago or three days
• 161:00 - 161:30 ago announced that they will be doing a battery. The updated Shening battery which is an LFP will charge at up to 1.3 megaww. It will add 520 km in 5 minutes. 12C charging. You'll be able to get over 800 km of range on that LFP battery. So that's their LFP technology. They also
• 161:30 - 162:00 announced mass production of their sodium ion battery. So sodium is salt basically instead of lithium. They announced that that one will be able to let me try and remember that one will be able to char that one will have a charging density of 175 kilowatt per uh 175 W hours per kilogram which is
• 162:00 - 162:30 actually more than most lithium batteries. So obviously you got NMC, nickel, magnesium, cobalt. That one has better energy storage, but is a bit more polluting cuz cobalt's not the cleanest thing to to get out of the ground. And then you've got then you've got LFP, so lithium, not sure, lithium ion phosphate. F is iron. And then you've
• 162:30 - 163:00 got sodium. So, these sodium batteries and the sodium batteries are pretty good in cold weather temperatures. So, they can work as low as -40° and still retain 90% of their charge. This one actually, they got batteries for aerial mobility as well, storing as much as 500 W hours per kilogram and 400. They might be NMC batteries. I'm not uncertain. NMC is also a little bit more prone to catching fire, whereas LFP is better. and sodium
• 163:00 - 163:30 ion is even better still. So they actually tested it. The safety test included them basically biffing the battery cell in three different dimensions with a beam. They also did a nail test with a 9 mm nail thick nail uh drill test and then they literally cut the pouch in half. They cut it in half with a circular saw and it didn't catch fire. Nothing happened to it. So sodium looking like a pretty
• 163:30 - 164:00 safe alternative to lithium batteries at this point. But of course, CL will continue with both. Sodium also about 421 times more prevalent in the planet than it is than is lithium. Of course, they also do battery swapping too. So they are Neo's battery swapping partner and they are going to be launching over a thousand battery swap stations of their own for their Choco SE batteries here in China. And I've got a list actually of cars that are going to come that were announced yesterday as having
• 164:00 - 164:30 battery swap capability, some of which we've seen today. So, the Hongchi EH7, the Chiuan A5 and AO7, the DAL SL03, we'll see that soon. Arc Fox have got a new car coming that will do it. The IICAR V23, our favorite little boxy SUV will be battery swap capable. and the ION UT, ION RT, ion V Tyrannosaurus and a new car from GAC that will be an A segment
• 164:30 - 165:00 SUV. I'll show you some of those cars in the next haul. So, yeah, that was that was another development. Then they've also made this one. This is the free void dual power battery. So, most batteries are a single chemistry. So, you get basically a whole battery. Let's say this is a battery. All of it is LFP or all of it is NMC. The dual power battery allows you to do different amounts. So you can separate it like on this picture here. So that part could be LFP. This part could be sodium or that
• 165:00 - 165:30 part could be NMC. This part could be lithium. Basically giving you the chance also to basically let off the the heat if you get a kind of thermal runaway on one side to protect the battery and make everything safe. also to make sure that you've got a battery that's capable of delivering power very quickly in high-owered cars and a one that also can work really well in cold weather temperatures. So, for example, if you have sodium on one side and LFP on the other, you can then get the best mix of
• 165:30 - 166:00 power delivery to the car for all different scenarios. So, this is a really interesting option and it will give you apparently up to 1,400 km of range on a single charge with the right chemistry in the battery. That's pretty impressive. So, CHL just went ballistic this week. Did some crazy stuff. I I honestly think 12c is fast enough now. It's fast enough. We don't need more than that. 520 km in 5 minutes. The real challenge now is not how fast your car
• 166:00 - 166:30 can charge, it's how long you can go without needing the bathroom essentially. So yeah, some crazy stuff from CL Ford. I'll just wander through here. There's nothing new at Ford that I can see. I wandered through earlier to see if there was anything of interest, but not really. These are probably subject to massive tariffs now. Ford Broncos coming into the into China and maybe the
• 166:30 - 167:00 Ford F-150 because some people can buy or do buy an F-150. But yeah, massive tariffs. I think Ford are probably not going to be super happy about that. Right onto GC Honda. So, well, Guangjo Honda, Guangchi Honda. So, they're basically GAC are one of Honda's production partners in China. They've got a couple of cool cars here I want to show you. So, they've they've started going electric. You thought Honda weren't going electric. Well, they are.
• 167:00 - 167:30 They are. So, they've got the P7 over here. This is quite a good looking kind of crossover shape. Very linear design across the side of it. Good headlamps, cameras for mirrors, but it does still feel like a Honda inside. Kind of a portrait screen in there and like a a screen on top of the dashboard there. I'm not entirely certain that I like the dashboard in the P7, but they've come out with a really low price, which has forced the other joint
• 167:30 - 168:00 venture partner to lower the price on their similar car, which I think is called ENTP1 or something like that. Now, they've brought this they've also brought us this, which is the GT. And there are two versions, and I don't know the differences. So, we've got this one. You'll see we got kind of a split headlamp design with a chunky bit of headlamp at the bottom. If you go over to this one over here, we've got this Yshaped design instead. So, I don't know if they're kind of triing two different looks or not. I don't know. But let's see if we can get a look inside this
• 168:00 - 168:30 one. This really looks like a Civic, like an electric Civic. But look inside there. You got a screen in the middle. Sorry. Sorry. It's ask me to wait one moment while they turn the car on. I think it's a concept, so it's not fully done. This one here though, this one's got a better representation. You can see you've got your camera mirrors there in the door. You've got a screen on top of the dashboard. Got one in the middle. I tell you what, this is probably based on looking at it now. I think this is based on an ION, sorry, a Hype Tech
• 168:30 - 169:00 GT. Yeah, I think that's based on a Hyp GT. There are similarities there. I reckon that's based on that. Yeah. So, we'll see that car soon. I'll show you the hyper the Hyp GT. But yeah, so that's quite funky. They're going to go two electric cars. And to be honest, they're much better than this. This is the Lingshi. This is another electric car from Honda. But that back end is challenging. That is a challenging rear end to
• 169:00 - 169:30 appreciate. Haven't ever seen one of these on the road. But look, look again. Another car where they've got screens all over the dashboard and camera mirrors as well. So, Honda seem to be going down the camera mirror route quite fervently. They've also got the ENP, sorry, ENS2 over here. This one's the Dongfong Honda. So, Honda's got both Dongfong and the Guangi partners on here. So, that's the kind of the brother, I think, to
• 169:30 - 170:00 the P7. No, this the S7. Yeah, this is the brother to the P7. So the P7 purple one over there we just looked at. This is the brother of that made by Dongfong. Dong you have many brands. So the interior very similar overall. I'm curious what platform they're based on cuz obviously those two companies are going to have their own platforms. But there you go. So exciting stuff going on at Honda. Like everybody's just avoid that guy's live
• 170:00 - 170:30 stream. Everybody is fighting back. Fighting back here in in Shanghai this year. Foreign brands are really coming at us with concepts and good products. Let's just see how many of them come to market and how soon they come. Now, Leap Motor, the second Chinese new energy maker to become profitable. They do extended range vehicles and electric ones. This is their new one. This is brand new. So
• 170:30 - 171:00 this one was launched about a month ago or two. This is the B01. So there's very similar. This is a saloon version of that car. It'll come with a 170 kW motor on the rear axle. I think it will be just electric to begin with. Also got a liar on top of the screen because they've got their own autonomous driving system here in China and some some chips I believe to I can't remember if it's a self-developed chip or not or they can use the do the autonomous driving a
• 171:00 - 171:30 little bit underwe this small wheels on this car but it could do quite well in ride hailing circles I think if that's the route they go down. failing that. Other people are going to get this one. This is the B10. This one gets the same powertrain, electric, 170 kW on the back. And if I can show you one of these on the stand over here. Let me try and show you the interior cuz there's some funky stuff on the B10. Let's see if we
• 171:30 - 172:00 can check it out. This lady's got an example here. So, you see over there, she's got these six holes in the dashboard. And you can get a a tray table that drops in there and folds out. That's pretty funky, right? You can put different things in there like boxes and storage and stuff like that. Maybe we can get a good look at this one. Someone sat in this one. Pardon me. Yes, this one's free. So, here you go. So, you see this tray table here,
• 172:00 - 172:30 right? You can actually store that in these holes. So you can put your tray table up there or you can take it out, put it down here on this one, lock it into place. It's a bit hard to do with one hand. There you go. I've kind of messed that up now. But yeah, you can drop that into there. Get yourself a tray table. You can store yourself some like bins on there in storage. You got fold down cup holders down here in your central space. Wireless charger in the middle. So yeah, some interesting little ideas on this very affordable family car. In the back,
• 172:30 - 173:00 fairly standard. What I do like is you got a tissue holder down there cuz if you're a parent often your kids are a bit messy and they need tissues. So having those in the car is quite good and it looks quite neat actually from the front. I'll zoom out a little bit. There we go. It's probably too zoomed in before. Yeah, that's the Leap Motor B10. Right, that's Oh, one more thing. One more thing. You're gonna like this. Let's quickly dive over here because there's a car brand that
• 173:00 - 173:30 was that has been going around for a while and it's almost like it's been a legend that people haven't even heard of, but it is real and they actually came to the show this year. Now, these are based I believe on BYD platforms and they've got three of them retro cars. This is the rocket which looks like some kind of Thunderbird or something like that from the past. Not a Thunderbird. That one's a Thunderbird over there. This one is Corvette, maybe. I don't know. Not so
• 173:30 - 174:00 up in my 50s American cars. Look how long it is. Really long car. 580,000 R&B. These are all handmade, by the way. This is the song. So, the SS. That one looks like a Got some nice 50s music here. So, that one looks like a a Thunderbird, I think it is. And we've now got this one here as well. This one's called The Summer. These are made on This one
• 174:00 - 174:30 actually, I think, is on Skyworth. A Skyworth platform, but that's like a Volkswagen Transporter, but with six doors. Three rows with six doors. Look at that. That's crazy. Full good summer it's called. And yeah, I mean it will be a full good summer, won't it? With one of those. Absolutely crazy. Seems to have some
• 174:30 - 175:00 motorbikes, too. Maybe they also do motorbikes. Choppers. But yeah, there's the uh there's the platform of the summer. So, a proper monok there. Yeah. Absolutely nuts. So, that's that's the song summer. I think the brand's called Songan. And now, finally, let's head to our last hall. Actually, before I go, dear Lord, look at that. Terrible. Oh, look. It's actually
• 175:00 - 175:30 real. The V-class just covered in covered in sequins or whatever. And we got another robot here, too. That's the ad adbot that we saw earlier. Right, final hall. All righty. Here we are in the final hall of the show. Ignoring the the small halls that have exhibitions in and uh suppliers and things like that. Right, we're going to
• 175:30 - 176:00 end this time it seems with Pony AI, autonomous driving supplier or best tune, which is an interesting place to finish, but they've got a cool looking car actually. So, first up, we've got JAC in here. They've again brought their concept car over here, the Define S, which looks really cool, but they brought us a new one this time, the Define X, which comes with quite a good looking front end, I
• 176:00 - 176:30 think, on that kind of a slabby front end. Now, this is a potential concept, I would say, for uh a future Maestro. Now, what is a maestro? You're asking. Huawei have got four brands as I mentioned. Stellato, Heito, Lux Seed, and Mestro. Maestro is essentially their Chinese Rolls-Royce. And we're going to get to have a quick wander in here. Can't see the interior, but there is the
• 176:30 - 177:00 Maestro. It's about 5.4 m long. You get these headlamps here with all these crazy light details in there. You get this kind of uh twin flat lamps at the front. And this car is made by JAC. Got some big mirror finish wheels as well. Of course, it comes with Huawei's autonomous driving system. Not sure if I can fit it all in if I lean back against the wall just about. Now, I don't think it's quite as
• 177:00 - 177:30 elegant as a rain as a Range Rover as a as a Rolls-Royce. Got these kind of light details in the back there as well, which look quite fancy. It's got a nice interior on it this but yeah I'm not sure if people are You can see another one over there. Not sure if people are going to not sure if people are going to embrace it really as the Chinese Rolls-Royce. I just don't think it's got quite the same cache. And the the
• 177:30 - 178:00 downside is that they're made by JAC who are not particularly known for making luxury cars. I mean they make mid to low-end MPVs. They make pickup trucks that I've heard questionable things about the reliability on. They of course did make Neos until Neo got their own license recently in their own factory. So, I'm just not sure they've got the brand
• 178:00 - 178:30 credibility and Rolls-Royce is a handmade. So, yeah, questions there over over the the micro. Anyway, let's dive onto this brand. Let's dive straight into the inside of the DAL S09. You can see we've got wireless charger on there. Twin big screens in the front. We also get a screen in the back there. That's about a 17in screen. These fellas here have got themselves captain seats with armrests. We got a fridge, I think, down at the bottom. I think there's a fridge
• 178:30 - 179:00 in there to keep drinks cool. This guy's on camera, so I'll dive this way instead. Get you a look at the front end. This is quite an attractive looking car, actually. I do like it for a big SUV. It does feel quite quite elegant in its design. I would say six-seater SUV. Again, also still quite affordable. I think it's about 350,000 R&B, but compared to the Lincoln Co 900, I'm afraid it's not quite as
• 179:00 - 179:30 good. The Lincoln Co. offers a lot more for a lot less. There a lot of live streams going on on this stand, so apologies for the challenges getting close to it. Let's see if we can get a good look at the back end of it. Everybody's live streaming. Oh, look at this. Robots doing a dance here, waving to the crowd, facing backwards. There you go. Right, here's a look at the back end. Sorry, trying to avoid this lady's live stream. There's a look at the back end. Lots of storage space in the back. They've got it full of of uh of carry-on
• 179:30 - 180:00 cases. Lovely big wheels as well. Like those big flat face designs. There's your robot going at it. So, that's DAL's big big car for the day. In fact, so big that they haven't even put any of their other cars on the stand. They've literally just gone for the S09. So, they haven't got the SL3 or any of the others, but we might get a chance to see one later. I'm not sure. Right. Okay. That
• 180:00 - 180:30 is Yeah, that's that's Depot basically. Let's now cruise over to Beijing. If you're starting to sense some tiredness in my voice, my feet are absolutely killing me at this stage. It's It's really slowly grinding me down. I need more comfortable shoes. Anyway, Beijing, they've got a funny car. Now, this is the first of two
• 180:30 - 181:00 actually in this hall that are borrowing on the design of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra. So, this is a Beijing BJ40 prototype Ultra, which has gone with the yellow exterior. It's also got a yellow interior as you can see in there, just like the yellow version of the SU7 Ultra. Seems like an interesting way to interesting thing to borrow. This is a plug-in hybrid off-roader. They also have I think this is the BJ60, which I think has been updated because the front looks a little bit different to me. Got
• 181:00 - 181:30 a BJ30. This is an E version, which I think means it's a hybrid cuz Beijing are not that great at EVs, even though they do have a few of them, but they don't not any EVs in their SUVs. BJ40 again, and I'm pretty sure there's a BJ something else somewhere, but I can't see it. So yeah, there's your Beijing. Now on the Beijing stand, they're made by BIC. So by Beijing Automotive, they also have Arc Fox under
• 181:30 - 182:00 their umbrella. Arc Fox have brought this might be new. This is This is Alpha T6. Now this used to be the Alpha T5. So has it been upgraded? It seems like it might have been. I have to dive in behind the cleaner. There's a lot of perfume on this stand. So yeah, it's a new interior. Look, we've got a new big wide screen in the middle. 20-in screen roughly, something like that. Another screen there in the middle. So, they have updated the Alpha T5. It looks pretty similar on the
• 182:00 - 182:30 outside, but they turned it into the Alpha T6. So, there you go. We've also got a new car from Arc Fox, which is the T1, which is this one. Not shown us the interior. I can probably paste you a picture over of the interior from what I got this morning. So, that's a small hatch similar to an ION UT or maybe a bit bigger than a Firefly. Maybe golf sized, I would guess. And here's the back end of it
• 182:30 - 183:00 over here. So, they finally come out with a new car at ArcFox. And it's quite neat, actually. Neat, simple design, not too complex. Don't think they're going to let us inside the car. No. So, I'll show you the picture on the screen that I took earlier. They've also made a concept over here. The Ark Fox 77. Not sure what 77 relates to, but this is a big kind of lounge car. We've seen concepts like this around for a while
• 183:00 - 183:30 now. Still waiting for someone to actually launch one of these. But that's the that's the lounge, the 77. We also got a a model over here of I'll just of a platform that can rotate the wheels. Looks quite similar to that CL platform we saw earlier. But yeah, turn the wheels inside. Losing my voice now. And you can rotate the car and also a robo taxi as well. This one can do level four. As you can see, it's got loads of sensors up
• 183:30 - 184:00 there and liars on the roof. Right, let's cruise past Buffit. which is the Chinese name for Buffett. Warren Buffett. They've got these hideous V-classes with big grills and ugly interiors. Billy Billy is I was going to show you some funky cars on there. Billy Billy's like Chinese YouTube, but this too loud. They got a presentation going
• 184:00 - 184:30 on. So have Haimar. So, Himar, the Harmony Mob Harmony harmony intelligent mobility alliance, otherwise known as Huawei's brands. So, at Huawei, we have the ISO M7. This was one of the world's top 20 bestselling new energy vehicles last year. Sell a lot of those. The M9, of course, the M5 over there, and the M8 isn't on this stand, I don't think.
• 184:30 - 185:00 Might be at the back. Also got the Lux Seed S7. So this luxurious, sleek looking saloon. Quick dive through the window there so you can see what the interior looks like. They look absolutely fantastic. Look at the body on this. That's stunning. I really like seeing these on the road. They look so low and so sleek. And then they've got the brother, the R seven, which is the opposite. Looks like a Model Y.
• 185:00 - 185:30 It's got reasonably nice interior inside with a lot of Huawei technology in there and space. It's also got a knockable front. We'll try it on this in a second. See, it's got a chunky pudgy face. Looks like Bertrren from Family Guy. I'll let this guy zoom out and I'm going to try and see if it has the knockable frunk. Let's try it. No, this one doesn't have the knockable frunk. Maybe the blue one over here has the knockable frunk. Also got the Stelato
• 185:30 - 186:00 S9. This is their first car. We've seen a wagon version of this in some spy shots. So, it looks like they're going to make an SUV version. Sorry, an estate version of that. And there's a there's a black version of it as well. Let me see if this one has the knockable frunk. Let's try it again. If you saw my last video, you'll know this. There we go. So, it does have the knockable frunk. That's good. Reasonable
• 186:00 - 186:30 size frunk in there. There's the uh there's the R seven. As I said, looks a bit like Bertrren from Family Guy. What else? M8. There's your M8. And you've got your Mike Stro over at the back. So, by the time the next Motor Show rolls around, we might have our next car, our next brand, another Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance, which will be a different name. had can't remember the if they got an English name for it yet from SIC onto ION part of GAC from Guangjo
• 186:30 - 187:00 Automotive they've got the the RT which is this fairly sleek looking saloon wireless charger simple screen in the middle standard fair not the most expensive car in the world this one pretty much more of a ride hailing car I would say then you've got the UT which we launched was launched at Guangjo last Here, I'll show you the interior of that one. It's got a kind of a drawer on the
• 187:00 - 187:30 dashboard there. Wireless charger. There you go. A little pocket with a speaker inside. I think little pocket on the dashboard. Screen. Simple layout. This is hopefully helping ION sales cuz they were starting to tail off a little bit. That's the back end if you haven't seen it. So, this one will be battery swappable. This one will be battery swappable. And I think the V will also be battery swappable. You can also see, by the way, over here,
• 187:30 - 188:00 this autonomous car. This one is in partnership with DD level four autonomous. Got some big chunky sensors on the side there. If you look at those big chunky sensors, DD autonomous driving. So DD trying to get rid of all their drivers and letting their car do it instead. We'll probably still have real drivers for a while, I think. But there you go. That's a autonomous car full of liar units. And then check that out. It's about as close as I can get without it running off the screen. It's a concept pickup
• 188:00 - 188:30 truck. And honestly, it's absolutely enormous. Pickup 01. Very aggressive, sharp, chiseled front end. I mean, that guy is normal height guy over there. You can see his head barely comes up above the bonnet. slabsided, chunky at the back. An enormous deck in there, which they can't show us the full
• 188:30 - 189:00 thing. So, yeah, bit of a bit of a design play thing, I would say, putting something that big on the road. Just see seems a bit mental, honestly. And of course, this should be I think our final flying car of the show. This is a flying car which is basically like a pod that sits on top of a autonomous vehicle and it's got the wings attached to the actual pod. Single seater inside. There's your interior in soft screen on the side. So it'll do autonomous flying.
• 189:00 - 189:30 I would guess they call it Gove like Michael Gove. And actually look, this one seems to also have autonomous ability. They've also gone for the turquoise lights. I did not know they made an autonomous version of the GAC Master M8. That's a it's a big grill also here on the back. So, they must be updating these. Oh, there you go. That That makes sense. We do have a liar unit on top of the screen. So, GAC also going into the
• 189:30 - 190:00 autonomous space. Need to quickly run back over to ION cuz I mentioned there were two SU7 Ultra inspired cars in this hole. Here's here's the other one. This is an Ion UT. Funny little hatchback. They've even gone for the stickers. Look, they gone for the silver stickers on there. Massive rear spoiler. UT Ultra, it says on there. They haven't made a yellow interior at least, but it does look very funky. That's quite cool. They even got
• 190:00 - 190:30 racing wheels on it and yellow brake calipers as well. So, yeah, that's Ion. Now, let's also got some more robots here. By the way, there's a different robot from GAC that uses wheels instead of legs, but still kind of has legs. This is a wheelchair that can climb stairs. So, you can sit on that and you can go up and down stairs and get anywhere you need to go in a wheelchair, which is cool. So, mobility, not just for the for the many, but for the for those who can't can't get it as
• 190:30 - 191:00 easily as everybody else. Ion S, sorry, the GAC S9. I think this one is new cuz we had the S7 which debuted at Guangjo but only in kind of concept form. This one actually they've debuted in two forms. So you can well basically they've got two of it. They've got I'm not entirely sure if they're the same or different. They look so similar, but one's called S7, one's called S9. That one's S7. And I do like these digital lights here,
• 191:00 - 191:30 like eyeballs staring at you with a big light bar across the front. See, I can dive into this front seat here and show you what the front of the cabin looks like. Fairly small screen in the middle there. You got a pop-up speaker at the back. Bit of ambient lighting. Wireless charger in the middle. Of course, you get a screen in the back as well. Twin cup holders that seem to be square. Load of space in the back. Not sure if I can show you inside the back there a little bit. There you go. And that's a fiveseater. I think the
• 191:30 - 192:00 S9 which is up here. You'll see it's it's actually quite similar but it's bigger. So that's the S9. Also comes with a LAR unit as does the S7. Comes with these big polished mirror finish alloys 21 in. This one has a slightly more luxurious interior. I think the screen's roughly the same size but it's got kind of nicer materials. Still only one wireless charger though. But again, another screen. Camera spun around really quick then. Still another
• 192:00 - 192:30 screen there in the back. And I believe this one is No, it's not. It's not a six-seater. It's It's just a 5-seater. It's got dolphins there in the lights. But there you go. That's the S9. So that's a kind of a big version of the S7. And I'm waiting to get some more information about these cars. But I like the back end. Back end looks quite cool. Looks has a similar look to an EX90 with the way the lights wrap around the back
• 192:30 - 193:00 there. Right. Then we got to ION. Well, yeah, they kind of come with an ION badge, but they called Hype Tech. So they're under the ion umbrella. Ion under the GAC umbrella. So you see how things get complex here. Now that's the car I mentioned earlier. This one here, the GT. I think that Honda is based on this platform. That one looks a lot more sleek than the Honda does, but I'm pretty sure they're based on the same platform. We've also got the HT which comes with the Gwing doors at the back
• 193:00 - 193:30 there. Slide through this gap here. See, big entry to that rear cabin space. Don't see many of these on the road outside of Guangjo. And you got the HL. Now, we've got a lady with long legs doing some poses there. So, let me see if I can find one that's not got someone having photographs taken of them. Maybe over here, this blue one. So, you got the HL which debuted in Guangjo, but we didn't really see all of
• 193:30 - 194:00 it. See loads of space in there. Really big rear interior. Screen in the back there. Nice metal grates on your speakers. Someone filming in front of the car, but I'm going to have to go for it. Pretty nice interior. This seems to be a custom thing of ions or hype techs to have this screen high up at the back. Smalish oval steering wheel. Got some microfiber roof lining up here. Got leather on your dashboard. Feels quite luxurious this. And twin wireless
• 194:00 - 194:30 chargers in the middle there. If I went quiet there, it's cuz I'm trying to avoid interrupting someone's live stream. This one, of course, comes with autonomous driving ability as well. Let's get around the back of this lady here. See, there we go. Try and not interrupt this lady. But there you go. Got the kind of three light set up here. So, these kind of lights at the front also go down to the lower level of the bumper. That grill also lights up there as well. So,
• 194:30 - 195:00 that's really cool. And uh see the prices actually quite reasonable as well. 269,800 for the most affordable version of the HL. Right. Finally need to end with Faw Best Tune. So, First Automotive Works, they make Hongchi. They also make Best Tune. Best Tune have been pretty nasty. They haven't done many things. This is the 07, which I think was launched recently. One of them came out
• 195:00 - 195:30 at the previous auto show. They've got the 06 now as well. Where's the 06 gone? Sorry, 03, not 06. This is the 03 over here. This might be the one that we saw at the last auto show. I've never seen one on the road yet. Very similar lights there at the front to the MG EHS I would say that I pointed out earlier on the Rising. They're pretty nice, decent
• 195:30 - 196:00 looking cars inside, but not so popular. The one that you do see a lot of there's a robot on this stand as well. I'll come back to him in a minute. So 07. And I think this one's a new one cuz they've got a few of them on the stage. It's a bit bigger than the 03 and no one's looking inside. So, I'm going to dive right in here. So, we've got rubbery dashboard up there. Portrait style screen in the middle. Small screen behind the driver. Head-up display. Smells interesting inside. Smells like it's that's hard plastic
• 196:00 - 196:30 down there. Smells a bit plasticky. Bit chemically inside. One wireless charger it seems, but on the passenger side instead of the driver's side. Quite a lot of space in the back. Let me check that door sound. Questionable. Not certain about that. Let me try and dive past these people. Now, one thing I need to show you. So, I said there's a cool car on this stand. There you go. There's that robot waving. This one's got very sharp feet. But they got this. This is the
• 196:30 - 197:00 08. And this is a new car. should robot's really loud when he walks. I thought he's falling over. So, yeah. Look at this. Got cool kind of This is some something between a concept and a production car. I don't think we can get into it. No, they're not letting us in. But you see the interior is kind of like orange colored side there with a screen in the middle. High up display behind the steering wheel. Single wireless charger. But it looks quite
• 197:00 - 197:30 comfortable. Looks really quite nice actually for a best tune. They seem to have got rid of the rid of the T70 which is the old car that they had and they've brought us this more luxurious looking 08 which is actually really quite nice. I mean might even get some people into a Best Tune dealership at least if they're not coming for the Best Tune Pony which is this one. This is Best Tunes rival to the Wooling Hongang. So they've got this one is a four-seater. You can get a convertible version I believe as well.
• 197:30 - 198:00 So, I can dive around the back of these ladies are currently filming. There's the best tune pony. Very simple, very affordable. And as I said, it's the only best tune you really see. I'm sorry. Only best tune you really see in China. Most people are not buying the other stuff so much. Maybe they don't have a good dealership network. Maybe they're only in some cities because Chinese car sales are quite regional at times. But yeah, that's it
• 198:00 - 198:30 from from the stand. I think I can quickly show you the Pony stand, but I think we kind of covered Pony earlier that we saw their car on another stand. Pony is another AI autonomous driving company. They've got the Arc Fox, which we did see earlier, and the Ion V. So these guys along with Wide and BU are currently the only ones doing level four autonomous driving in China. So you can rent these
• 198:30 - 199:00 cars. Well, you can't rent them. You can basically pick them up on an app like a taxi and and they'll drive you around. And of course, they come with massive redundancies with loads of LAR units and cameras and stuff like that. So yeah, that's basically it. That's basically it from the Shanghai Auto Show 2025. Let me whip the camera around. There we go. Yeah. So, someone just fell off the roof then. Bit of cellar tape. Yeah. It's uh So,
• 199:00 - 199:30 what can I tell you? What's What's the summary of this show? It definitely feels a bit less busy, but I think that's on purpose. So, I'm quite warm. I think that's on purpose. I think they've made it less busy for the media, which I think is a good thing. But it does take away some of the vibe, I would say, for making the show feel like it's it's alive and really a lot of buzz about the Chinese car industry. There's really been a lot of foreigners here. The car brands are have brought them in from all over the Middle East, Europe, Australia, and a couple of US outlets as well have been here at the auto show. So, the
• 199:30 - 200:00 interest continues to grow outside of China. And yeah, I mean the the the trends for me I would say are the the off-road cars. So we've seen obviously Functioning Ba were one of the first alongside Great Wall and Jetour, but we've now seen obviously J coming out with their off-road concept. We saw who else did we see with an off-road car? Functioning Bao with the the Tai 3. Hongchi of course with the off-road car as well. So I think more brands are
• 200:00 - 200:30 starting to kind of do like genuine off-roaders here in China. Autonomous driving seems to have been a little bit less pushed this year. Obviously, the government recently kind of clamped down on the wording of that, which might explain why it's been a little bit less uh highlighted, let's say. We've seen a lot of robots, not necessarily car related, unless they're working in the factories, but a lot of robots. And it does seem like we're getting a push towards hybrids again and SUVs. So, it's been less focus on MPVs at this show, much more focus on SUVs. They they're
• 200:30 - 201:00 still, you know, the definitive the most chosen body style of cars in China as a plug-in hybrids. Obviously, Zika going into a plug-in hybrid with the 9X. Lincoln Co. still have a hybrid with the 900 rather than the Z10 and the Z20. BYD have a whole lot of hybrids in their system as well. And obviously, the big thing is the big push back from the international brands. So, a lot of concepts from Buick and Volkswagen. The Audi E5 came out as a production car.
• 201:00 - 201:30 The Audi capital letters Audi. The Yeah. Who else brought other stuff? Nissan brought the N7 and a pickup truck. Pickup trucks also another trend by the way that's that's coming out. And then you have Honda, Toyota, they all brought interesting interesting new cars as well. So it does feel like the international brands are starting to to kind of come back and try and fight. We've seen a lot of battery tech upgrades in the last few months with 10C from BYD and 12C from from CL and a few
• 201:30 - 202:00 brands are going to benefit from that. So the battery tech and the charging is a real trend. I think probably 12C as I said is enough. Maybe we don't need to go any further than that. Now it's going to be about making batteries safer. So we've had some regulations in here in China where the government have said you know no fires, no explosions. Easier said than done, but you know, they they that's what they're expecting now. They want no explosions from batteries in future, no risk to occupants. So, let's
• 202:00 - 202:30 see what they can do about that. But, yeah, it's been it's been a a long show, a long walk around. If you've made it this far, thank you very very much for watching.
