I’m impressed with the Chinese made car for it’s features. But Mercedes is a proven name in the automotive business. I’ll have to experience it myself or hear from people who have already own the car.
Whats the quality of the build of that U8? is the steel used in the manufacturing going to take the wear tear or just fold like a house of cards when put to the test of over a decade of serious use off road.
Nokia, Mercedes Benz, etc anything western and japanese are prehistoric now. The first and only SUV can float, turn 360°, and more! Really Japanese and Western technology are stagnant.
I am a fan of Chinese evolution, no doubt about it, but the fact that each part and field of the Chinese SUV is way better than the one from Germany. I don’t get it.
it's simple, where are the German engineers and car designer these days? China! because they pay them well? Yes, part of it. mostly they are extremely respected as what they are, namely engineers and designers! unlike in Germany some marketing guy decide how a new car should look next year, not designers and engineers. that is a major problem in the west. they are failing the future.
Wow! Love it. The U8 interior of the fantastic and build quality amazing. The Mercedes G Wagons have always been overpriced. Hybrids the way to go until battery technology improves significantly.
This comparison is a bit funny. The G-Wagon is a very old development, permanently renovated and pimped. The better opponent would have been the actual GL-Class top model
GL class is SUV Cross Over not a full SUV like the G-Wagon. And btw, the G-Wagon's build is sturdier than the GL Class. If you think the Geländewagen's interior's squeaky noise is bad enough, wait until you see the GL's LOL
It is old, but the question is the price for such an old car, as old as a LADA Niva, with a similar utilitarian / military purpose, but pimped with a V8 engine, costing ar least the same as the BYD.
I can tell you for sure reliability and longevity is far better, otherwise they wouldn’t offer lifetime warranty unlike Mercedes 3 yrs/ 36k miles. Only thing I can’t argue about yet is resale value until we see the numbers. Good day!
We still had W461 that had been in the family for 3 generation now, the word "quality" can only be proven by time. This applied for any new car including the newest G Wagon, any new brand already claim it is such an utterly b.s 😁
Alot of people in the comments are so brainwashed by wester media that can't grasp the idea of china making great cars nevertheless evs. German car brands have been known lately to decline in their reliability and quality build full of plastic and cheap interiors that are loose. Also tesla making very cheap quality vehicles (look ar the reviews of the cybertruck its sad) yet Chinese companies really put an effort into building great products and we still have our minds full of "but's". We need to start accepting that china also makes great products like literature around 70 percent of the iPhones main structure is made in china and also tesla depends alot on china for its production and batteries. Byd has sold overall more cars than tesla already and in china people prefer to buy Huawei phones than iphones since they offer a better experience. We are really getting stuck in the past and its sad.
unfortunately Mercedes no longer wants to make too much effort too much plastic on the exterior and interior. I like Mercedes, it's the one I like very much since my childhood

i have 2 MBs at home and I can tell you those are junks. You may ask why I bought two junks, because my silly wife want the brand.
@@peterwang2019 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Bro you are funny
I love the translator when he bashes the german cars haha
This comparison is not just about cars. This is a reflection of the countries that produced them
Bravo. Excellent job reviewing. !
Both suvs are amazing😊
Ok, you buy that one, I’ll keep my G-63
No discussion, everything good 👍🏼
Well done BYD, beautiful Car❤❤❤
U8 for smooth & sophisticated customer...G Wagon for the hooligan😂😂😂...m the hooligan😅😅😅
You mean keyboard hooligan?
A winner will always meet competitors 😂😂
Already a loser in China market for that brand.They only buy second hand for a minor price.
Winner 😂 it loses to the byd in every possible way.
So helpful. You're so good man. ❤❤❤
"I suggest you make an appointment with the psychologist tomorrow" - that's funny.. LOL
Whats the quality of the build of that U8? is the steel used in the manufacturing going to take the wear tear or just fold like a house of cards when put to the test of over a decade of serious use off road.
And which one do you think will stand the test of time
Would Like To see them both do an off-road comparison
I prefer to see them in a swimming contest.😁
U just got yourself a 🆕 subscription. Your content n report is fairly rated
Nokia, Mercedes Benz, etc anything western and japanese are prehistoric now.
The first and only SUV can float, turn 360°, and more!
Really Japanese and Western technology are stagnant.
I am a fan of Chinese evolution, no doubt about it, but the fact that each part and field of the Chinese SUV is way better than the one from Germany. I don’t get it.
These cars are joint designed by both Chinese and Germans.
I guess it's due to lack of competition, so legacy brands prefer a safer road.
it's simple, where are the German engineers and car designer these days? China! because they pay them well? Yes, part of it. mostly they are extremely respected as what they are, namely engineers and designers! unlike in Germany some marketing guy decide how a new car should look next year, not designers and engineers. that is a major problem in the west. they are failing the future.
I enjoy this video so much I've watched it 3 times
that water resist is pretty impressive it would be amazing if it can sail like a boat
The G wagon would make a beautiful piece in the museum, that's all that it's good for.
U8 is the best from g class is more luxury technology more fast more strong off road and more cheap
Wow! Love it. The U8 interior of the fantastic and build quality amazing. The Mercedes G Wagons have always been overpriced. Hybrids the way to go until battery technology improves significantly.
nice video ❤❤❤
Excellent review...
This comparison is a bit funny. The G-Wagon is a very old development, permanently renovated and pimped. The better opponent would have been the actual GL-Class top model
GL class is SUV Cross Over not a full SUV like the G-Wagon. And btw, the G-Wagon's build is sturdier than the GL Class. If you think the Geländewagen's interior's squeaky noise is bad enough, wait until you see the GL's LOL
Right, a comparison between the U8 & GLS 600 would've made better sense.
@@feizai245 That Chinese truck is LESS a real SUV than a GL. LOL
@@georgec2562 Who said that? You? LOL
It is old, but the question is the price for such an old car, as old as a LADA Niva, with a similar utilitarian / military purpose, but pimped with a V8 engine, costing ar least the same as the BYD.
I own 2 Mercedes SUV; I have been a Mercedes lover but this U8 has made me wanting 1 immediately when it is sold in the USA.
See us in 3 years! And give us an update about reliability, longevity and resale market value. That’s how auto industry thrives!
I can tell you for sure reliability and longevity is far better, otherwise they wouldn’t offer lifetime warranty unlike Mercedes 3 yrs/ 36k miles.
Only thing I can’t argue about yet is resale value until we see the numbers.
Good day!
10 years warranty
In three years Chinese will own Mercedes and other EU manufacturers.
Service and parts?
Wake up, you're still dreaming
EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE 👏 ✔️ 👍
Let's be honest here, peoples who actually bought a G-wagen doesn't care about off-road capabilities 😂
Neither about Quality
@@ahmadahmal2942 brilliant hahaha
The G-Class is a true beast when driving off-road!
We still had W461 that had been in the family for 3 generation now, the word "quality" can only be proven by time. This applied for any new car including the newest G Wagon, any new brand already claim it is such an utterly b.s 😁
Love this review. Very honest. Hard truth.
Gwagen is known for its off-road capability. you should have compared their off-road capability not just aesthetics and tech features
Even in that arena, the U8 already tore the dainty merc a new hole😂😂😂😂 westoids are so ignorant
the U8 effing floats in water. you can't get more offroad than that.
@@randomname931I doubt that this Chinese suv is a better offroader than the G .
@@CaliSteve169 G wagon is not even a good offroader.
@@ahmadahmal2942 lol you've no idea what you're talking about.
10:21 that smile, like you know who's the winner already hahahaha ....
Alot of people in the comments are so brainwashed by wester media that can't grasp the idea of china making great cars nevertheless evs. German car brands have been known lately to decline in their reliability and quality build full of plastic and cheap interiors that are loose. Also tesla making very cheap quality vehicles (look ar the reviews of the cybertruck its sad) yet Chinese companies really put an effort into building great products and we still have our minds full of "but's".
We need to start accepting that china also makes great products like literature around 70 percent of the iPhones main structure is made in china and also tesla depends alot on china for its production and batteries. Byd has sold overall more cars than tesla already and in china people prefer to buy Huawei phones than iphones since they offer a better experience. We are really getting stuck in the past and its sad.
Incredible review.
unfortunately Mercedes no longer wants to make too much effort too much plastic on the exterior and interior. I like Mercedes, it's the one I like very much since my childhood
Great video, I saw the U8 and something else.But I can't remember the other car . I heard it has a lot of plastic components. But the only car that I really saw was that U8 brot .
This is more like an advert to me than comparison.
Yeah, a good adverts for U8.
It is a powerful EV.
This shows how terrible the quality of the mercedes is and how overpriced it is.
Interesting and informative
I still prefer the G-Wagon 😊
That's the definition of fanaticism.
@Gideonfinancial that's the definition of going after quality 😉
@@michaelp.6282 4:08 is quality? 😂 Mercedes is cheap junk!
@ahmadahmal2942 you sure the Chinese one will last? Mechanically? Electrically? Electronically? How many years will it run without major issues?
@@michaelp.6282 if Mercedes is so well built like you said, why they only offer 3 yrs warranty? stop your delusion and open you eyes.
What you could not afford to get a GLS 600 so you settled on the G-wagon? So sad!
Love your videos
Straight to the point and no mucking about
Can you do a comparison video between the Fangchengbao 5 and a Land Rover Discovery? Or perhaps also this?
