I am actually really happy that your channel is evolving really well. When I saw the first reviews many videos had just a few clicks. Now you have 50.000+ subscribers and most of the vids make at least 10.000 views. Proof that quality content always succeeds.
We’d love to be able to tell you some grand story about why Ethan wears the fanny pack, something about making a promise to a dying relative that he would wear it in their memory or whatever. But the truth is, he just wears it because he likes it😂
A people’s car! A car for the moderately prosperous generation! Well done China! Now to make it available for the moderately poor in other countries so that we don’t have to buy second hand Japanese and Korean cars!
When your car market is so competitive that even cars like this that are kinda "crappy" also have a nice and decent design. And that interior beats most Asian brands!
@@Fauzanarief-n7i looks nice in your eyes but inside their fake maximum 2-3 years and start breaking down as most of Chinese vehicles. Imo should not compare with Toyota vehicles their are way better in everything.
From Vietnam, neighbor of CHina, we are just wishing that cars are this affordable, tropical climate riding motorcycles under the burning sun or heavy rain is just a misery. Ugly small car here brand new starts from around $20k to have it running on the road, not mentioning about the money u need to pay for parking and other things. What can I say? its just outrageous
@@PissMenn not really, even cars made by Vnese brand still cost way more than in China. Hyundai, Kia have factory/biz partner in Vn but its still expensive. Its the tax, fee that government put on us.
License Plates cost ~5x more than this car in China due to demand for more vehicles. This could would cost $11k + $50k just to have if you didn't have plates in China or didn't want to wait 5+ years for the plate lottery to win the plates.
I am in Indonesia, I drive Wuling Confero, which belongs to the lowest class of 3 wuling siblings in our country. The lowest class has 3 variants while mine is the highest of Confero. A 1500cc engine, and I am happy with it, almost get all the luxury feeling yet not make me broke.
The Wuling Mini EV along with the BAIC BJ80, and the Hongqi E-HS9 are being exclusively distributed in the USA, Canada and Mexico by Players Club Wheels.
Why keep mentioning it's acceptable considering the price point? It's a lot more than acceptable for the price point, in many countries you basically get a sardine can car for that kind of price.
Another great review! Would be good if you could cover the safety aspect of cars in Chinese market - do they have China-specific safety ratings like EuroNCAP or IIHTS and how do the cars fare in it, how they’re tested etc.?
Skoda might have a case here but this thing looks just right and way more expensive than it actually is. Average buyers need utility, relevant comfort, an engine and no car payments.
lovely SUV,for the price point,looks excellent for exterior and interior and love white seats and plenty of space, if available for australia i would buy it for under $20,000 Drive Away prices, with safety standard for australia....
we just got that around last April 2023. Wuling Alvez is the badge for Indonesia, cmiiw. It shocks Indonesian market as teh most complete & safe with very competitive price compare to its Japanese competitors.
Hi, I have recently discovered your channel on RUclips. I love the videos and watching your catalogue of videos. There is allot of talk Chinese vehicles coming to the UK, but so far we have only seen a few from MG. I am really excited to see more arrive.
Hi, I like your content, but I got some minor suggestions for you： 1. in some of your videos, the color filter is just too heavy, it may ruin the cars' original appearance. 2. to me as a local guy really into car industry, some of the cars you reviewed are barely heard of. I guess the oversea audience prefer to see more popular models (like Xingyue L, Qin DMi...), China market only models (from VW, GM...) and export models' (Nio, Xpeng, BYD, Haval...) reviews in your channel.
A very nice looking and practical vehicle. I really like the interior. Performance is not a big consideration for me as long as it has reasonable acceleration and can maintain highway speeds.
Why do i keep thinking (model wise) i see a Forthing/Fengxing from Dongfeng ? Perhaps it's the side view & tail lights ... I hope you'll visit the DFM T5/T5L in the future. Keep up the amazing work !
I think you are being somewhat unfair here - It looks FANTASTIC for 11k, the trim and seats are FANTASTIC for 11k - The Dimensions interior and exterior are, well, FANTASTIC. For 11k you can just about buy a motorcycle - it doesnt need constant referral to the price point & quality, it is just amazing for that money. Can we buy it in Europe or the US? Does it have airbags? Is it likely to be safe? Whats the fuel economy? If its China only, well, whats the point - it may as well be $200 to buy
Yes, they’re comparable in size, though the Asta is a bit larger than the Boyue. As for the Baojun 530, it’s longer than both of them, but had the same wheelbase as the Asta and is likely built on the same platform. It certainly has the same powertrain.

Plenty of Chinese cars have now had Euro NCAP 5 star ratings. Obviously it depends on the brand but as a general rule Chinese cars are considerably more safe.
@@pollumG more safe than before. Although there are probably some Chinese brands that are more safe than western brands. The Quoros 3 was the safest car ever tested by Euro NCAP back in 2013, and I'm sure they're not the only Chinese brand to have tried since to exceed traditional brands.
As an American you just can't resist the temptation to imply that Chinese imitate western products..... So in this instance it's Skoda..... It's your default settings of looking down on all thing non western

agreed keep the content coming

Okay. That interior was very surprising.
I wasn't too surprised by the design or drivetrain but that interior had me like wow wow wow wow
It is a miracle that they can even create an SUV at this price point.
Cheaper labor and materials readily available in the market
因为中国的人工成本很低，可能只有美国的五分之一甚至六分之一
That’s a VERY competitive car for sure!!! And looks nice
Just the appearance looks good, in fact, like us these young people understand will not buy Wuling🙃
When your car market is so competitive that even cars like this that are kinda "crappy" also have a nice and decent design. And that interior beats most Asian brands!
Even wuling brand in my country are more cheaper and rich feature compare to japanese brand like toyota
I have Medium SUV from Wuling. The best car I ever had but the services quite poor especially their technicians.
@@m5a1stuart83 I thought this is the first SUV ever made from wuling?
Nice car, but don't think can cruise more than 2 years.
@@Fauzanarief-n7i looks nice in your eyes but inside their fake maximum 2-3 years and start breaking down as most of Chinese vehicles. Imo should not compare with Toyota vehicles their are way better in everything.
Definitely not skipping leg day, Ethan

We need these cheap cars in the UK
So cheap, and looks good, amazing
The lovechild of state-owned Shanghai Automotive Industries (SAIC) and General Motors - Wuling.
Overseas, they will be branded as Chevrolet
The more I watch this channel the more I want to go to China they are having a blast over there

This car looks great, much better looking then a Nissan versa

There's a C-NCAP test in China, the terms are quite similar to the EuroNCAP
CNCAP which is similar to EuroNCAP， and CIASI which is similar to IIHS
tbh those cars at this price didn't do well in the safety ratings
Looks great especially at that price range.
Skoda might have a case here but this thing looks just right and way more expensive than it actually is. Average buyers need utility, relevant comfort, an engine and no car payments.
There is a manual transmission option for this model, a six speed. Wise buyers will choose that for performance, reliability and cost.

I'm here for the phanny pack. Was not disappointed
Watching the Chinese car market is like looking at some parallel universe
Very nice car, when is it coming to uk and i want to buy.
it's like a Skoda meets a Peugeot but in a good manner; really, really impressive for a "popular car"!!!
Hi, I have recently discovered your channel on RUclips. I love the videos and watching your catalogue of videos. There is allot of talk Chinese vehicles coming to the UK, but so far we have only seen a few from MG. I am really excited to see more arrive.
Was wandering if they pass ncap crash tests.
@@pollumG they do sell in australia where the tests are pretty strict so i guess u can relax
MG is a British brand, but is manufactured by Chinese manufacturer SAIC.
I heard BYD Dolphin is coming to the UK.
@@dt8101 Thank you for the heads up 👍
Wow, it was said that the central screen reflected, but at 6:44 it even looks like a mirror!

Good suggestions! 👏👏👏
It would be good for the title to read whether it is an electric car or an internal combustion engine car.
ev or not, it's still very competitive
It's an ICE
Yup, electric cars are boring. sadly a lot of videos are about them.
In future, be sure to check the thumbnail of the video. If the text is in yellow, it’s an ICE car, and if it’s in green, it’s a hybrid or pure EV.
Congrats on 50k subscribers! I know I'm a little late to say so, but whatever.
A very nice looking and practical vehicle. I really like the interior. Performance is not a big consideration for me as long as it has reasonable acceleration and can maintain highway speeds.
Looks like big screen and synthetic leather don't cost much, it is just that big brands do not want to give them to us.
Big brands have high overheads.
Displays are quite big, but not very bright, nor of particularly good resolution, like tablets were 4 or 5 years ago...
A true people's car I like it.
I’m in Malaysia . At US 11000 it’s cheaper than most ICE cars of similar size here!
You need to ask yourself why is it so cheap compared to other models. Something hidden somewhere
very cool!
Good review. Thks 👍
Bring that suv to North America and it will kick butts !!
00:50 eagle eyed: wheels…. I mean legs 🔥
Why do i keep thinking (model wise) i see a Forthing/Fengxing from Dongfeng ? Perhaps it's the side view & tail lights ... I hope you'll visit the DFM T5/T5L in the future. Keep up the amazing work !
will these cars be made available in the United States?
😳😳😳😳 impresive!
I need one right now
I hope they bring those at Greece
I miss soft suspension of older American boats "cars", wonder if I'd like the suspension in this car.

*💯%❤️ WULING ❤️*
Waiting for the episode where you deploy thay bumbag.
Also is that a sagging rubber driver's side door seal?
So its the same class with Baojun 580 & Geely Boyue?
Yes, they’re comparable in size, though the Asta is a bit larger than the Boyue. As for the Baojun 530, it’s longer than both of them, but had the same wheelbase as the Asta and is likely built on the same platform. It certainly has the same powertrain.
Please review glory 580pro.
🤣
I thought Glory was a jar of satay sauce.

Simple and beautiful suv 😍❤️
How can I get one 😫
How do you buy this in the US?
Can you review the Volkswagen viloran?
Nice
Switzerland..????
I hope you review the upcoming Geely EX3
Nice car, but hows it for crash testing?
In indonesia we only have wuling confero cortez and almaz
Also for 20.000€ or plus in Europe this Wuling should be a bargain.
its kinda funny that for $11000 you are getting such as nice looking interior instead of the used cars in the us
No fake exhausts is a right decision.
plz review hongqi ehs9 plz plz plz
A good commute car
Nice car!!
Now that's a free SUV.
Better looking than Perodua Ativa/Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky
Wuling Victory test please
yes,....i was thinking Tiguan...then i thought skoda,...funny u said the same thing.,
Just wandering have the crash tests improved in Chinese cars over the years? Because 10 years ago they use to flatten into a pancake upon collision.
Plenty of Chinese cars have now had Euro NCAP 5 star ratings. Obviously it depends on the brand but as a general rule Chinese cars are considerably more safe.
@@benrgrogan more safe than the big brands or more safe than b4?
@@pollumG more safe than before.

im a simple man, i see fanny pack, i hit like
When came to indonesia, aswer Please,
hi handsome. i enjoyed listening to your reviews . does this model come with airbags?
sure, It has two on cheapest model and eight on most expensive model.
奶油色还是后期把白的调成这样的？
这车没纯白色款
是奶油色的
Anybody that used to driving a Japanese or Korean made car will probably not mind the plastic interior.
As an American you just can't resist the temptation to imply that Chinese imitate western products..... So in this instance it's Skoda..... It's your default settings of looking down on all thing non western
does something happened to the wheelsboy recently i have never seen him saying positive things about Chinese cars in his previous videos
That's totally untrue...it's his job to be critical , not to slavishly lavish praise.
SAIC rebadged this car as a Chevrolet Captiva in my country and it’s very very cheap
for the price sure it will sell tons in the UK market but i guess politics will prevent chinese cars from entering European market
Bring that car here USA will sell
And can sell these cars to Americans this year have ideas
In Angola they are on sell abou 30.000 usd this is absurd.
Wow
I really wonder about the safety of this
11K$?! i bet the engine is an extra option !
Please make a review of the MK2 Faw Volkswagen Jetta
I’m here for the barely street legal shorts
You and everybody else
Dis would probably kill mg zs on asians market..
so much room
Is that a GM drive train? Never mind it says GM on the engine cover.
Gotta love how the rubber door seal around the driver's side window is sagging already lol .... what a POS!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
that is very Skoda
Whoa a Chinese Jeep Compass by another name lol.
A Hawaiian style shirt will look perfect without the ugly bag
Ugly? That's sacrilegious!
I like your reviews but work on either ur camera or colouring,it's not natural enough.
colorblind filter
ASTA VS VEZEL
That is not a compact suv it a family size suv compact suv are suzuki vitara Honda hrv
This is classified as a compact SUV here in China, though it’s definitely on the bigger end of that class!
I wanna know what’s in the fanny pack!😀😀😀
Basic but good enough for poor people.
It’s not a SUV…but a Minivan disguised as SUV.
This is accurate☝️
