Very true about Geely writing back. I wrote to the Geely subsidy firm Riddara about when their RD6 pickup will be coming to Germany. I didn't really expect an answer but the next day I got a reply thanking me for the interest and details about their plan for Germany. Very impressed!!
hi Sam, this car has already been launched in Thailand at the Bangkok Motor Expo last month. The top model is priced at 29k USD. BYD temporarily cuts the price of Atto extended range to 26.5k USD
Yes, it's being launched today under the Proton brand as e.MAS7 with tweeks done on ride and handling. The software has also been customised to adapt to Malaysian infrastructure
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. It has been incredibly valuable to me. I look forward to the opportunity to learn more from you in the future.
Hey Sam, been watching a lot of your videos on RUclips since I started looking for a EV mid sized SUV. I’ve noticed that the recent models released and sold in China Zeekr 7x, BYD sea lion 7, Geely Galaxy E5 all come with lifetime warranty on battery, motor and electrical systems. I only realised this when I Google translated the product launch videos of the presentation slides and from their Chinese websites spec page. Even got a friend who reads mandarin to verify it. Was hoping with your contacts with the car manufacturers you could ask/confirm if they will bring it over to Australia when they launch it here? Perhaps this will be a good video to produce with information for prospective EV buyers who have been working about the reliability and life span of these components? If they bring them over, this will definitely be the tipping point for ICE owners to EV. Thanks!
The car is coming to Ex YU market + Bulgaria and Romania in January 2025. Hope they will stiff it and I’ll be a buyer! However, with the new EU customs duties I don’t except it will be under 40k € by us in Croatia. I’ll update you soon
BYD is worried about this car and about 6 to 9 months away from matching it with an upgraded model. Geely focused on the atto 3 trying to better it in every way
@@ProfBarkley Agreed, however, with battery prices dropping so substantially it doesn't make sense to short change range, esp. when the CLTC range estimates are overcooked...
I like it from what I’ve seen so far. I hope all their in car tech will work as it should unlike what it seems to be all other Chinese brands where reviewers turn off all the assist features. If you put it in it got to work as intended. Get that right and I think that will be a decider for some buyers. Minimise the hard plastics. Have a spare tyre, even a space saver. Panoramic sunroof for me, No, not in the AU hot climate. I hope they look at the criticisms of other brands and make sure it doesn’t apply to them and don’t be greedy and undercut the competition. If they can give more for less I believe people will buy them
Charging speed is too low for 2025. 100KW for Geely, and 80-90KW charging for Deepal, BYD, Chery, and Leapmotors is ridiculous for 2025. MG4 is 140KW charging so o assume it's new small SUV is also similar. If any of the above companies had gone to a minimum of 150 DC charging they would dominate the market segment
The EU charges the usual 10% for all imported cars including hybrids. Their added tax regime applies to 100% full electric cars. The Chinese appear to be moving towards hybrids to export and full electric cars to be assembled in the EU in counttries courting the Chinese. ie Spain, Hungary, and maybe Germany and Italy. Having said that, right now, China has halted and frozen all investments of EV in the EU.
Greely has a terrible reputation where I'm from for their gas cars. Usually, random problems stuck in dealships for 6 months up. There are no parts for those cars.
For the price of EUR 14.500 in China it´s an amazing car and fine proposal. I wonder what it will cost new in Europe: EUR 43.500? More? And immediately the buyers perspective changes completely, not to speak that it will loose the total of what it costs new in China after the first year in Europe. Go figure..... PS: the Atto 3 starts at EUR 41.995,- in its cheapest version (!) Europeans are afraid of EVs? No, they are not. They are afraid of pricing, having to finance the purchase and possibly loosing a huge amount when/if they don´t like it.
I just don't think we're on the right track here. The UK EV market should be focusing on smaller lighter City cars where a range of c120 miles is perfectly acceptable. Big SUV EVs somewhat defeat the Net Zero aspirations. Too much material, moved over vast distances before it even starts its life on the road. We should be encouraging the use of smaller vehicles generally if we're trying to save the planet, surely?
I see both sides of the argument. We can let all these amazing, inexpensive China EV's into the U.S., and watch as 8 million people lose their jobs and the economy goes into recession. But if we block them, our domestic car makers will continue lazily selling overpriced garbage. I would set a time limit on the tariffs and say "Okay, GM/Ford/Stellantis, you have 4 years to get your act together." Note that Tesla is doing fine.
@@ChickensAndGardening me too I get it, however, I don't see anyone complaining about their Chinese iPhones or Korean Televisions... Or countless other imported electrical items. Just saying...
Nah It will happen just delaying the inevitable. dumbass politicians just making it worse for themselves. When the technology and innovation gets here they really won’t be messing around anymore even farther ahead as America lags behind left in the dust

For Malaysia, it will be launch today under the proton eMAS brand

It's coming to Malaysia as the Proton Emas. Since Geely is a large co-owner of Proton
Geely looks like they have some very desirable models.

The G.G.E5 is simply beautiful beyond category or price.
Great and updated content Sam... cool... nice work and hard work from you to inform us about the updates... thank you...

Nice work and I am impressed of the speed you make your videos with a good content
The massive domestic market is enabling innovations and improvements to the EVs in China. The entire "open" world will benefit.
Trump will build a wall of protectionism and propose China pay for it. Although it will be us consumers who actually will.
They have just launched this car in Malaysia as a Proton subbrand called eMAS. It's pretty wide inside, lots of space.

Can you elaborate on
" Lifetime Warranty on Battery "???
I guess it will be release in Malaysia as a Proton car.
One which is very unfortunate is, they don't put bigger battery.
Hello
Please make a video about Nio ET9 and firefly
They are Coming out on December 21 . Only a week away 💪

Stillnwaiting to hear from Jim Farley about our non-functioning "Intelligent Home Backup"(sic)
Once again no mention of battery chemistry!
Hi Sam!
What do you think is this car is better then xpeng g6 or not ?
Has it got a frunk?
Bring Zeekr Mix to au please!
Front wheels drive!
Ok if Geely listens to feedback then please give it substantially more range for Australia and I’d pay more no worries mate.
zeekr is their higher range brand. geely galaxy is designed to be entry level
@@ProfBarkley Agreed, however, with battery prices dropping so substantially it doesn't make sense to short change range, esp. when the CLTC range estimates are overcooked...
@@stumckhall
CLTC aren't overcooked. It is the driving standard and condition over in their place. You'll have to adjust to WLTP accordingly.
Geely were originally the auto arm of Volvo right?
No, new owners
The Galaxy E8 sedan is gorgeous..
This is literally same size as RAV4, how is the RAV4 selling in Australia ?

This is exactly what we experienced with our MG5, simply no answer from MG Germany, we find it arrogant .......
Many greetings from Germany
Can they make look better, I mean it looks like something my granny should be driving 😂
byd seagull 😂
sr can you make this video again i fell asleep half way and missed 1/2

They cannot sell them cheap else they'll be slapped with the "overcapacity" label. Look like europeans are taken for a ride by its leaders.

These kinds of vidoes just frustrate us North Americans. We will never have access to these nice EVs.
No doubt, if you look up the definition of protectionism it's just a GIF if our flag waving... 😅

Wouldn't take much to be better than the BYD ATTO 3
First ev released. So it's a bit dated now. The Atto refresh should be ready next year.
Shame it looks like FWD
No. Don't like the fascia. That's what you see when you're driving.
bog ordinary design
wow a boring looking suv to mix in with all the other boring looking suv's
It's ugly
