I do not necessarily agree that I like the design, but I fully agree that it does not look like a Rolls-Royce or a BMW at all. Having said that, I am not a fan of the new BMW design, either.
As an industrial designer myself, here's my take as to obvious similarities: Grille: Rolls, Lincoln MKS, or BMW 7 series (G12) Rear lights: Cadillac XTS (facelift), Mercedes S-class (W221, facelift) Trunklid: Mercedes CLS 1st gen (C219) Fake exhaust tips: all Mercedes models (and stupid as hell) Vertical chrome strip behind front wheel arch: Jaguar XJ, Range Rover, 7-series (G12) Chrome strip across rear light assembly: current Audi A8
There’s tons of Chinese vehicles on Paraguayan roads (where I live) and the biggest issue, by a country mile, is the lack of parts when something breaks. Even a minor thing like a bushing can be impossible to get, let alone transmission or suspension components (known to break in potholed roads here in Paraguay) and so on. The cars are not bad. But there’s near-zero aftersale support.
Do the Chinese have dealerships or are the cars all imported? I remember seeing a car parts shop for Chinese cars in Iraq. So I guess the after sales service for Chinese cars in the third world is improving and will reach your country too one day.
I am in amman jordan. We have german VW and Chinese built VW which are much cheaper and seem to break more. Parts is an issue. And angry chinese built owners have gone to the German Embassy to complain, which gets them nowhere of course.
I love this car so much as a American because it looks stately and they knew how to use the chrome like the old Lincoln’s and caddies. It’s nice to see a sedan being made with that elegant what a luxury car should be style.
It'd be a lot nicer if this guy had a point of view instead of ALWAYS saying something and then turning against his comments and saying - "however; other may think otherwise* !!! It is in NO way a sign of adulthood to give an opinion and then take it back as if it didn't matter because In the case of automobiles it matters not one bit in anycase my friend)ld make an EXCELLENT politician. Absolutely NO character or position - "except if you accept that other people may think otherwise" .... LOL.
As usual the West can laugh all they want, criticizice all they want soom they gonna be the one everyone will be laughing at. They did rhe samw When Japanese and Koreans first made Cars. Eeveryone in this world knows that The WEST are afraid of Competition because they are NOT naturally born competitors but Killers, jealous, insecure and destroying others Progress
Many years ago a clothes designer fade up because whatever design she made always rejected by japanese importer. Then she buy branded clothes from france, remove the label and replace it with her label. And the result: all rejected. Then she realized that: not the design, but the japanese importer attitude that already think that: if it is from certain countries, it must be bad. I wonder what the reaction will be if we can rebrand (temporarily) an unknown Chinese car as one of european car: will the comments still about "the design copying X" or just simply talking about the car itself.
@@SD-li9g quality defining price, if you buy cheap chinese products, you get bad quality. blame the importer / reseller that want to get the cheapest thing & sell the highest price possible.
@@SD-li9g You can get the highest quality products in China. Just need to pay the right amount. Or just pay alot more for the same product when it is imported to overseas market. Same same but different.
Live in Shanghai and these are my favorite ubers to call right now. Pay a 35% premium roughly but being really tall it’s well worth it for the ample leg room.
Stumbled across this video after looking at Mercedes videos. Taking the actual review of the car out of it, I really enjoyed the delivery of the review. Professional, really well structured and some humour to boot. Excellent.
I like the front end more than the Rolls Royce. The wider grille fills in the space better, and the body panel flowing over the top of the grille looks sleeker and more aerodynamic, visually lowers the grille. The rear does not come off quite as well, but it is not offensive. I wonder if the interior plastic film is factory applied and just not taken off. I'll admit that once I did not realize it was there, it was well done and not obvious.
@SEAN PETAIA as the parts of your car, your hand phone, tv, appliances, etc. Don’t mix productions from a country, with productions with proper QC, raw material, engineering. It’s too reductive
Doesn't matter, copy or not. It takes lots of effort to make a production run for such an advanced car. A million thing to do. Cheers my Chinese friends. Well done. Your children will definitely outdo this car in their own way.
I don't understand why people say it looks like a Mercedes Benz, Cadillac, BMW, Rolls Royce, WTF? It looks like a Hyundai or Kia and everything else is different. People are crazy or do not know anything about cars.
@@ojsimpson9516 there are some models only available in China, especially compact ones. Some are rebranded Chevy some are home designed. There are brand new Buick models that only selling for US$10000 with 1.3T engine.
Buick is mostly the same cars as in the states but Buick has historic importance in China. It was the favourite car of one of Chinas most celebrated leader as well as the Royal family before and alot of politicians now it's still the favourite politician car and people in power in China who want to show they have political power.
How you can say the interior is incredible Everything is bold and that huge gear shift in the middle of the car Looks much worst than e class 2014 Overal the car is a joke... Chinese engineers have to concentrate on reliability and then go to luxury How bad is that two tone line ending on the back in the middle of nowhere Driving 2019 e class i can feel the quality is gone in mercedes i can only imagine what will be to have that car for few months
Who said that the car is not reliable? I have driven that car, you would be suprised how smooth it is to drive. Its a fantastic value for this amount of money believe me
This car was also in partner with toyota. A 2liter toyota engine. The technology is not lacking in those cars, either. It comes complete with a centrally-mounted digital gauge cluster, a touchscreen that does away with most physical buttons on the center stack, and even cylinder deactivation for its big V-12 or v-6 for better fuel economy. Styling-wise, it really doesn’t betray its roots, being quite obviously designed to mimic the look of the 1963 Hongqi CA770. And other looking like a Rolls due to this company hiring a Rolls Royce designer.
@@jareknowak8712 That's what i thought, he said a 2 litre 4 cylinder turbo or a V6 supercharged...where does the V12 come from ??. No mention of it here.
I think that is a very good point. Despite the Toyota connection, a car is made of thousands of parts. I can't see this being around in 10 years time or so. China is not known for its quality cars.
I agree..even the new Mercedes S class jumped on the bandwagon of using what looks like a tablet in the middle..I prefer the intergrated look like in the 2021 Mercedes S class..the tablet look maybe a fad that gets faded as time goes by.
I think it's beautiful. Nose lookes vaguely lincolnish, while the rear looks Bentleyish. They all barrow each other's designs any way. I like the color contrast. Imagine a light charcoal black on top, and darker black on bottom. Or light burgundy on top, and darker burgundy on bottom. And a full panoramic glass roof. The face has a trademark all it own. Very pretty..
@@purpleking6678 Look around you. All cars look the same if you really wanna dig. I find this car to be quite unique. I mean look at the new Genesis line up. One can argue it reminds you of the mercedes as well. LOOK at the Cadillac XT6 vs the Volvo XC90. Volvo (now 100% owned by chinese company) came out with the design first then a few years later the cadillac design looks exactly the same. Id same end of the day this Chinese car has done more work in the styling desgn than many other brands and the similarily with other cars is no more than how other cars look compared to one another.
@@zszs100 the xt6 and xc90 don’t look alike, just that they’re SUV’s. The genesis line up doesn’t look like a Mercedes either. This thing on the other hands may be unique but it takes page out of a GTA car designers play book with that BMW 7 series L trim on the side, Audi s7 looking trunk and etc.
i definately think hes sitting to close but sitting closer to the steering tires gives me better control in corners and at high speeds. I know some moron is gonna complain about sitting so close is dangerous, i'll reitterate, i dont sit that close but i sit up more than i sit back, makes a huge difference in corners for me at least.
When anything's made in China, it's bound to get unfair critism for being a knockoff or slow. But, in reality if this car were to hit the states for $45k, everybody and their mama would be trading in their crossover to get their hands on this no questions asked.
Very true. In fact it might actually sell BETTER than what it's allegedly copying. I remember several people I knew wanting to get the last generation of Ford Fusion because the front looked like that of an Aston Martin but at a fraction of the cost.
Honestly, I don't see any part of this car that is blatant copying. Sure the interior has RGB lighting that came from Mercedes, but so does BMW now and nobody says anything about them copying Mercedes. Is has similar designs and the same features as other cars, but it's all uniquely it's own car.
In China, the price of this car is similiar with one BMW 5, E CLASS, A6L, XFL, S90, CT6, etc. It sold 2000-3000 each month here, which is better than CT 6, XFL, but way too less compare to 5, A6, E, these 3 could sell around 15000 unit per month here in China.
@@muhammadraihanfathurrahman1600 dude, whatever the device you send this comment with has probably 80% Chinese quality parts. Or just about every thing in your life.
30% of the price for 80% of the capacity. Not a bad value. It looks like a mash up of audi rear hatch bmw front clip and big body Mercedes, but some how being uniquely Chinese. Needs a v8 and 450hp+ to seize significant domestic market share. Good job 👍
Poor Indians can relate because all they have is Cadbury, because here in States we have over a hundred chocolate brands and that too very very affordable
Quite a cool design. It takes inspiration but think it looks fairly unique on its own. Not a fan of the two-tone, but cool to see something more experimental 😀
@@markntexas8265 Rolls Royce does two-tone so much better though. It compliments the body work design. It flows from the grille, over the bonnet, over the roof, and flows off the back. This tries to, but the slip under the windows, due to the grille flaring across the headlights looks awkward. There's too much of it so looks more garish to me - I think a more subtle two-tone like two shades of purple, would work better in this sense.
@@almac9203 You must be blind if you think this is a "ripoff". Most cars nowadays have the same rough shape, for safety reasons. The details are different though.
@@Snakebloke the grill is a Rolls Royce ripoff. The Chinese can do shameless ripoff but a respected manufacturer like Mercedes would not do it. I am not denying that it looks good but it definitely is a homage to Rolls Royce. Mercedes being a storied manufacturer with it's own proud history can't just copy the look of other brands.
@@jackiemallon3759 a friend of ours owns a Rolls Royce and a Bentley so yeah I think I know what a Roller looks like. Pretty sure most people can see the resemblance!
First time coming across your channel. Definitely unique and solid on quality. One nit-picking thing I can't brush aside is your driving position. You are much, much too close to the wheel. Not only will driving like that considerably handicap you in any situation demanding precise car control, it will also present a much higher risk of injury from airbag deployment. Take it from me. As a novice race car driver (amateur), a wiser participant pointed out a similar issue with my driving position. Though it took a bit to adjust, after getting comfortable the difference was night and day.
Yes you look a bit close to the wheel. That's up to you but it does make it looked a bit cramped when in fact I doubt it is. I like the colour and it looks great from the side. The back isn't too bad but the front looks a bit heavy and doesn't really go with the sleek side view. Inside looks good as well.
@@cecilbdemento7736 nothing wrong with made in 🇨🇳. Most of the stuff in the world, from high end to low end are all made in China, including the device you are typing on
The performance profile for the 6 cylinder version of this car is almost identical to my Lincoln MKZ; 280 HP. The MKZ is not a turbo (less to go wrong) and the transmission is a 6 speed.
To who don't know Chinese:The character in the vehicle plate 沪 means Shanghai, letter E means this vehicle is not limited to drive in Shanghai essential downtown area according to the latest traffic policy, in fact only C is limited, any others are not limited.
C plates are not allowed within the confines of the ring road in Shanghai and are classed as rural plates by many. They are also considerably cheaper than a plate that is allowed inside of the city limits.
I'd say the lag between pushing the gas and actual moving is probably a computer issue/programming. I've driven cars where you can press the pedal all the way down and the engine doesn't even attempt to rev and slowly goes up in rpm and speed, bot the transmission.
The car is uncomfortable to look at. It feels like the result of an accident between 4 cars that resulted in this car. Frankly, when I look at it, I feel dizzy.
Thank goodness that I am not the only one who can see that the model 3 looks like a Porsche from far away lol. the 2013 ford fusion looking like any other aston martin's. Lets not forget the Ford Thunderbird looking like Nissan 240SX. The Jaguar XK looking like Aston Martin DB9. Especially the Chrysler 300 to its resemblance to the poor mans rolls royce. lmfao
I agree! Lincoln is the first car I thought of when I saw the grille. It's a good looking car and I think it would sell well here in America for the over 60 crowd. We don't make cars like this anymore unfortunately.
I like that this is a comfortable luxury car, not a luxury sports car like most models from other manufacturers. Kind of a throwback to what American luxury cars used to be: a couch on wheels that did not pretend to be or handle like a sports car. This is what people keep asking for. I wonder if this knockoff would do well in the US? I think it's just a matter of time for the quality to come up a bit more and we start seeing more Chinese vehicles in the US and Canada.
You're over confident to call it a knockoff. Who drives American luxury cars? There's German luxury cars. Pick-up truck, that's what you need. You're just trying to find some tiny excuse to make yourself comfortable. Pathetic
@@abouttime5000 Lada was not as bad as a lot think, they were just not made on the same idea as western's cars, they were made to be as simple as possible and as easy to fix as possible, of course with a few reliability issues but not worst as any car from the same era (launched in the early 70s). The idea Chinese cars are bad is based on the same as "our" automakers in the 70s and 80s when affirming Japanese or Korean cars were bad, it was all but a fact. But it's always easier to expose others' pseudo-mistakes than fixing ours. If Chinese industry is SOOOO BAAAAD why all manufacturers even for premium or luxury goods go to China (your beloved Iphone was built by Chinese, part of your luxury Swiss watch were made in China).
@@mmadmic There is a huge difference between Chinese goods and goods from Western first that are made in China. The latter are made in factories designed and paid for my those companies to the same standards as they build them anywhere else. The Chinese factories are anything but. Chinese firms just churn stuff out with virtually no rules to stop them doing what they want, no quality control to stop them using much cheaper materials and techniques, and so on. There are exceptions to the rule but they are exceptions, not the norm. Western manufacturers go there because they don't have the same health and safety rules that we have here, which saves the manufacturers money and labour is at least 10x cheaper with the typical factory workers wage being somewhere between £30 and £60 a week. They don't have things like maximum working hours, paid holidays and pension plans so it is vastly cheaper to make your products in China even if you have to build the factory and take over quality control. We also still class China as an emerging economy, which means that we're subsidising their exports so it's vastly cheaper to ship your goods from there. That's why you can buy goods from China for less than the price that it costs to post a letter across the country - we're paying for their shipping costs!
Look at any other, LITEARALLY ANY CAR, and you can draw similarities to another car. While some Chinese cars absolutely is a direct copy of another, in recent years the Chinese designs has been quite original including this one. The similarity between this car and other cars, is no more than any other car's similarity to one another. Just look at the Cadillac XT6 vs Volvo XC90 for instance. (XC90 came out with that design first years in advance). Look at the "similarity" between the Genesis lineup and Mercedes, BMW, and Cadillac. And the list goes on and one.
I remember Chinese attempts to export cars since the 1990s. Those were hilariously bad. I'm heartened to see Chinese cars hit their stride, and soon they will be competing on the world stage.
You put Lincoln and Cadillac in with rolls Royce Bentley mercedes and maybach. That's like having a poo on the latest iPhone in the iPhone store when the store is packed.
I would say you could add the Chrysler 300 to the mix. I will also say it's quite an attractive car, and frankly most car styling these days can justly be called 'derivative.' Good review, and thanks!
In terms of look I like it better than any of the current Roll-Royces or Mercedes, at least the front and side (the rear-spanning light still look very plastic). It looks overall like a proud status symbol, which is exactly its job which it has done well.
Nicr as any car is, Id still want to drive it myself. My dad used to have a mint lexus ls430 with the ultra luxury package, Id drive him around in the back haha
@@sejtanskifazoni5752 You can argue the Genesis G90 also looks like a rolls/mercedes/BMW etc. In fact you can draw similarities looking at literally any car. While some Chinese cars are absolutly a direct copy, many in recent years including this one, is rather original indeed. Lets just say it doesn't look any "more similar" to another car, than any other car's similarity to other cars on the market currently. Look how how similar the Cadillac XT6 and Volvo XC90 (which came out first) as another example.
I think it looks pretty nice. I was expecting a turbocharged V8 under the hood though and a way higher price tag. The horsepower numbers are very similar to my own Terrain with a turbo 2.0 litre and 252 horses and 260 ft/lbs of torque.👍

When the human brains encounters something new, it always tries to place that thing in relation to more familiar objects. Like the "marsupial lion!". In time the new thing will become a point of reference itself.
I used to work for that company and it had it's distractions. Strippers grinding on poles outside the paint shop, lots of chicks in leather, belly dancers in the tire center, lap dance spaces in the lobby. Then I got fired for bringing them in and had to take them all back with me.
Its design can stand on its own. Its upper grill looks like it came from a Lincoln. I think its overall look and platform is comparable with the 2021 Genesys G80.
Look away from the colour and grille (both likely inspired by their new Rolls Royce designer), and this car looks really unique and great, IMO. The Chinese are clearly stepping up their game. I can't wait until Chinese cars make their way to Canada.
The few Chinese car brands on sale here in the UK we struggle for parts, main dealer or motor spare shops where i work in. Great Wall and the new MGs for instance the parts are on back order at dealerships even for normal service ie, filters, brakes. They become cheap very quickly because no one wants one because of the the build quality and hassle of a simple service.
and a Maybach and a Genesis, and an A8, and Lexus LS. Seriously they have it's own design, that are unique to the car, at least it is better than 2021 W223 Sclass that looks like an E class with Audi rear lights.
I quite like it. I think it looks good, it has presence and I like the two tone paint, the red line motif and the rear end. I'm not so sold on the ridiculous huge grill but that seems to be the modern "thing". I also tend to prefer my cars to be set up for comfort rather than speed as I often end up doing very long trips in them. So yes, on balance if it was available in the UK I would be interested.
the two tone paint is a ripoff design stolen from rolls royce and maybachs (actual high end vehicles lol) but also the massive grill and rear is also stolen from rolls royce design with a bit of honqi's own added touch
Looks like that are going to get a lot of people sitting up straight to ask further questions about it. This marks the beginning of the end for most domestic marques. China does not take prisoners when its attacking a foreign market. It simply throws everything it has at it until they achieve success.
@@chroniclesofab6206: Haha, Chrysler used this exact 2-tone color scheme and oversized grill on the 5th Ave 37 years ago when Rolls Royce was still bragging about its multiple coats of archaic lacquer paints and trying to catch up with technology and style, lol.

Great review. So nothing has changed when it comes to Chinese cars: they copy the easy stuff (looks) but not the hard stuff (driving dynamics, fit and finish).

Looks interesting, got a lot of design from RR and other western brands. Regarding the engine, people outside of china might think it´s way to small, but people in china like to buy the biggest or "most luxurious" car they can afford and then choose a basic trim and smallest engine so they can afford it. Gaining "face" is the magic word. Engine is also not a huge problem, the car does drive and is not a sports car either. You get a ticket for everything anyway.

@@onetwothreefour-s1n that is true although I would say it is not easy building such a cult. Not every manufacturer has such a forgiving customer base.
The very fact that a vehicle with this kind of design outside and inside, and this kind of comfort costs 1/3 of its competitors from Germany only shows how expensive the brand name on the hood has become. The main culprits for this are buyers, who are ready to massively overpay for their vehicle if it does say BMW or Mercedes or Audi.

I am in amman jordan. We have german VW and Chinese built VW which are much cheaper and seem to break more. Parts is an issue. And angry chinese built owners have gone to the German Embassy to complain, which gets them nowhere of course.

Then she buy branded clothes from france, remove the label and replace it with her label. And the result: all rejected. Then she realized that: not the design, but the japanese importer attitude that already think that: if it is from certain countries, it must be bad.

Stumbled across this video after looking at Mercedes videos. Taking the actual review of the car out of it, I really enjoyed the delivery of the review. Professional, really well structured and some humour to boot. Excellent.
I like the front end more than the Rolls Royce. The wider grille fills in the space better, and the body panel flowing over the top of the grille looks sleeker and more aerodynamic, visually lowers the grille. The rear does not come off quite as well, but it is not offensive. I wonder if the interior plastic film is factory applied and just not taken off. I'll admit that once I did not realize it was there, it was well done and not obvious.
It looks like a cross between a Rolls Royce and a Lincoln, Town Car.

This car was also in partner with toyota. A 2liter toyota engine. The technology is not lacking in those cars, either. It comes complete with a centrally-mounted digital gauge cluster, a touchscreen that does away with most physical buttons on the center stack, and even cylinder deactivation for its big V-12 or v-6 for better fuel economy. Styling-wise, it really doesn’t betray its roots, being quite obviously designed to mimic the look of the 1963 Hongqi CA770. And other looking like a Rolls due to this company hiring a Rolls Royce designer.

Rode in this car in August. Back seat leg room is huge and very comfortable and quiet. Very smooth ride. Really designed as a chauffeur driven car.
I have driven this car in Dubai. Not only it looks stunning form outside but it drives very well. I was really suprised
I think it's beautiful. Nose lookes vaguely lincolnish, while the rear looks Bentleyish. They all barrow each other's designs any way. I like the color contrast.

Volvo (now 100% owned by chinese company) came out with the design first then a few years later the cadillac design looks exactly the same.

How on earth one sits so close to the steering wheel while being in control of the vehicle.. beats me
Yeah, his sitting position is crazy. And it's dangerous as well, should the airbag go off he would be seriously injured.
i definately think hes sitting to close but sitting closer to the steering tires gives me better control in corners and at high speeds. I know some moron is gonna complain about sitting so close is dangerous, i'll reitterate, i dont sit that close but i sit up more than i sit back, makes a huge difference in corners for me at least.

Color combo looks nice, but the paintjob finish looks so low quality!
When anything's made in China, it's bound to get unfair critism for being a knockoff or slow. But, in reality if this car were to hit the states for $45k, everybody and their mama would be trading in their crossover to get their hands on this no questions asked.
Very true. In fact it might actually sell BETTER than what it's allegedly copying. I remember several people I knew wanting to get the last generation of Ford Fusion because the front looked like that of an Aston Martin but at a fraction of the cost.
Honestly, I don't see any part of this car that is blatant copying. Sure the interior has RGB lighting that came from Mercedes, but so does BMW now and nobody says anything about them copying Mercedes. Is has similar designs and the same features as other cars, but it's all uniquely it's own car.
Was kind of rolling my eyes the whole time until I found out the price. 45k is a steal for what it is. Badass car.
In China, the price of this car is similiar with one BMW 5, E CLASS, A6L, XFL, S90, CT6, etc. It sold 2000-3000 each month here, which is better than CT 6, XFL, but way too less compare to 5, A6, E, these 3 could sell around 15000 unit per month here in China.

Quite a cool design. It takes inspiration but think it looks fairly unique on its own. Not a fan of the two-tone, but cool to see something more experimental 😀
The two tone is what makes it look like a Rolls
@@markntexas8265 Rolls Royce does two-tone so much better though. It compliments the body work design. It flows from the grille, over the bonnet, over the roof, and flows off the back. This tries to, but the slip under the windows, due to the grille flaring across the headlights looks awkward. There's too much of it so looks more garish to me - I think a more subtle two-tone like two shades of purple, would work better in this sense.
I will say this, they have done more than Maybach in the styling department

@@almac9203 You must be blind if you think this is a "ripoff".
Most cars nowadays have the same rough shape, for safety reasons. The details are different though.
@@Snakebloke the grill is a Rolls Royce ripoff. The Chinese can do shameless ripoff but a respected manufacturer like Mercedes would not do it.

First time coming across your channel. Definitely unique and solid on quality. One nit-picking thing I can't brush aside is your driving position. You are much, much too close to the wheel. Not only will driving like that considerably handicap you in any situation demanding precise car control, it will also present a much higher risk of injury from airbag deployment.
Take it from me. As a novice race car driver (amateur), a wiser participant pointed out a similar issue with my driving position. Though it took a bit to adjust, after getting comfortable the difference was night and day.
I agree but I think your last sentence contradicts itself lol sorry I couldn't help being a grammar Nazi

Yes you look a bit close to the wheel. That's up to you but it does make it looked a bit cramped when in fact I doubt it is. I like the colour and it looks great from the side. The back isn't too bad but the front looks a bit heavy and doesn't really go with the sleek side view. Inside looks good as well.
Stunning looking car
Good review. The key point to keep in mind is that this car is for the domestic market. If it sells well inside China, then it’s a success.

To who don't know Chinese:The character in the vehicle plate 沪 means Shanghai, letter E means this vehicle is not limited to drive in Shanghai essential downtown area according to the latest traffic policy, in fact only C is limited, any others are not limited.

@@Nanorisk You're right, thanks
C plates are not allowed within the confines of the ring road in Shanghai and are classed as rural plates by many. They are also considerably cheaper than a plate that is allowed inside of the city limits.
I'd say the lag between pushing the gas and actual moving is probably a computer issue/programming. I've driven cars where you can press the pedal all the way down and the engine doesn't even attempt to rev and slowly goes up in rpm and speed, bot the transmission.

I agree! Lincoln is the first car I thought of when I saw the grille. It's a good looking car and I think it would sell well here in America for the over 60 crowd. We don't make cars like this anymore unfortunately.
I like that this is a comfortable luxury car, not a luxury sports car like most models from other manufacturers. Kind of a throwback to what American luxury cars used to be: a couch on wheels that did not pretend to be or handle like a sports car. This is what people keep asking for. I wonder if this knockoff would do well in the US? I think it's just a matter of time for the quality to come up a bit more and we start seeing more Chinese vehicles in the US and Canada.
You're over confident to call it a knockoff. Who drives American luxury cars? There's German luxury cars. Pick-up truck, that's what you need. You're just trying to find some tiny excuse to make yourself comfortable. Pathetic
If you added a Lincoln badge and translated everything into English, it would make for a fantastic Continental
If the Chinese cars are anything like the Russian Lada experience then they will be an unmitigated disaster.
@@abouttime5000 Lada was not as bad as a lot think, they were just not made on the same idea as western's cars, they were made to be as simple as possible and as easy to fix as possible, of course with a few reliability issues but not worst as any car from the same era (launched in the early 70s).
The idea Chinese cars are bad is based on the same as "our" automakers in the 70s and 80s when affirming Japanese or Korean cars were bad, it was all but a fact. But it's always easier to expose others' pseudo-mistakes than fixing ours.
If Chinese industry is SOOOO BAAAAD why all manufacturers even for premium or luxury goods go to China (your beloved Iphone was built by Chinese, part of your luxury Swiss watch were made in China).
@@mmadmic There is a huge difference between Chinese goods and goods from Western first that are made in China. The latter are made in factories designed and paid for my those companies to the same standards as they build them anywhere else. The Chinese factories are anything but. Chinese firms just churn stuff out with virtually no rules to stop them doing what they want, no quality control to stop them using much cheaper materials and techniques, and so on. There are exceptions to the rule but they are exceptions, not the norm.
Western manufacturers go there because they don't have the same health and safety rules that we have here, which saves the manufacturers money and labour is at least 10x cheaper with the typical factory workers wage being somewhere between £30 and £60 a week. They don't have things like maximum working hours, paid holidays and pension plans so it is vastly cheaper to make your products in China even if you have to build the factory and take over quality control.
We also still class China as an emerging economy, which means that we're subsidising their exports so it's vastly cheaper to ship your goods from there. That's why you can buy goods from China for less than the price that it costs to post a letter across the country - we're paying for their shipping costs!
Look at any other, LITEARALLY ANY CAR, and you can draw similarities to another car. While some Chinese cars absolutely is a direct copy of another, in recent years the Chinese designs has been quite original including this one. The similarity between this car and other cars, is no more than any other car's similarity to one another. Just look at the Cadillac XT6 vs Volvo XC90 for instance. (XC90 came out with that design first years in advance). Look at the "similarity" between the Genesis lineup and Mercedes, BMW, and Cadillac. And the list goes on and one.

Impressive pricepoint. If reliability is ok, it would be amazing value for money.
Interior design is very much like the 2012+ Audi A8L W12. Overall an aesthetically pleasing vehicle.
Is anyone talking about the floating bicycle
They take bike security seriously over there 😅
Where
The wall mounted bicycle, the out-of-place office chair, the building made out of shipping containers....
That's the reason Im down here

Its design can stand on its own. Its upper grill looks like it came from a Lincoln. I think its overall look and platform is comparable with the 2021 Genesys G80.
I thought the same regarding the grill.
Look away from the colour and grille (both likely inspired by their new Rolls Royce designer), and this car looks really unique and great, IMO. The Chinese are clearly stepping up their game. I can't wait until Chinese cars make their way to Canada.
Not if the USA says no to that.
The few Chinese car brands on sale here in the UK we struggle for parts, main dealer or motor spare shops where i work in. Great Wall and the new MGs for instance the parts are on back order at dealerships even for normal service ie, filters, brakes. They become cheap very quickly because no one wants one because of the the build quality and hassle of a simple service.
Ok, now we know what comes out, when a BMW 7 series, a Rolls Roys Ghost and a Cadillac CT5 are making a child.
I know your favorit genre is a 3some right ?
and a Maybach and a Genesis, and an A8, and Lexus LS. Seriously they have it's own design, that are unique to the car, at least it is better than 2021 W223 Sclass that looks like an E class with Audi rear lights.
That's an incredibly gorgeous car on the exterior
How??Pls tell me:)
I quite like it. I think it looks good, it has presence and I like the two tone paint, the red line motif and the rear end. I'm not so sold on the ridiculous huge grill but that seems to be the modern "thing". I also tend to prefer my cars to be set up for comfort rather than speed as I often end up doing very long trips in them. So yes, on balance if it was available in the UK I would be interested.
the two tone paint is a ripoff design stolen from rolls royce and maybachs (actual high end vehicles lol) but also the massive grill and rear is also stolen from rolls royce design with a bit of honqi's own added touch
Looks like that are going to get a lot of people sitting up straight to ask further questions about it. This marks the beginning of the end for most domestic marques. China does not take prisoners when its attacking a foreign market. It simply throws everything it has at it until they achieve success.
@@chroniclesofab6206: Haha, Chrysler used this exact 2-tone color scheme and oversized grill on the 5th Ave 37 years ago when Rolls Royce was still bragging about its multiple coats of archaic lacquer paints and trying to catch up with technology and style, lol.
@@Tampo-tiger: Keep in mind also that it was the Japanese who finally forced North American car manufacturers, namely the so-called ‘big three’, to stop marketing dangerous junk.
@@rayray8687 ppl always forget about the influence American luxury cars have made in the auto industry back in the day. The 80s definitely were a weak point though for American luxury but still that's a really cool fact man it's a shame no one recognizes stuff like that and give them some credit
Great review. So nothing has changed when it comes to Chinese cars: they copy the easy stuff (looks) but not the hard stuff (driving dynamics, fit and finish).
Goddamn, chinese cars really have gone from absolute trash to some of the coolest and best looking cars on the planet! These designs are crazy good! Great value and specs too!
Yup! Modern Chinese cars are some of the best cars on the planet. NIO makes awesome cars!
@@mmmayocide I like xpeng very much too. Incredible value
Of course you’ll say that 😂.
@@mmmayocide lol no! That weak motor in that heavy frame is misleading.. it's cheaply made . A gimmick... like all Chinese products

These days if u wanna do car reviews, China is really a dynamic place to go because it offers the most varieties of cars. Namely all countries' car brands and models as well as TONs of Chinese indeginent car models such as Great Wall, Hongqi, Chery, Geely, DongFeng, SAIC, ChangAn, WuLing... I guess next u can review Tank 300 off road, Chery 2.0t Engine, Lynk, BYD Han and Fengxing t5 EVO...

@@christianvanneuves9958 When my kids were growing up and learning English (they are not mother tongue) they were saying "u wanna" and that kind of crap-talk from American pop culture.
I told them to cut it out, because to express oneself in that manner means you will not be taken seriously. They refined their parlance and recently my eldest published her Master's thesis in psychology. In English.
So not only am I human, I'm doing this guy the same favor I did to my kids.
This car has a certain uniqueness where it can get away from being called a copy.
Show me a car that doesn’t have a few borrowed exterior attributes and I’ll show you the Batmobile, lol.
@@rayray8687 Yes, but the Chinese typically copied the MAJORITY of the exterior from other manufacturers.
@@user-xq2fz5tz9t: The Chinese are very good at selling the public what the public wants, lol. Anyway, the thing looks more like a Bentley than a Rolls-Royce to me, but that wouldn’t make nearly as good a headline, would it.
It's a bad Jaguar Xj x351 copy
"It looks like a mashup between an RR Ghost and a BMW 7-series" while an RR Ghost IS literally a mashup badge engineered 7-series...it was only a matter of time before the Chinese got around to this, and they will keep on getting better at it.
Ethan, you are a great reviewer! I love the quality content we have here!
*Thanks, outstanding video. Here in motorcar/motorbike crazy THAILAND we eagerly await await this luxurious sedan, since the Chinese MG ZS fossil & electric variant became hugely popular all over this tropical kingdom* ruclips.net/video/nnwi5oxrv7w/видео.html
the design is fairly nice... I feel like the wheel wells and wheels could be scaled a bit differently/larger but thats just me.
You deserve more subscribers and views. Awesome work
Whether you like it or not - cars like the Brilliance BS6 and the Shuanghuan Sceo aren't too long ago. For a country that wasn't a global player on the car market at all - they've made an astonishing amount of progress. I think it's a pretty good looking sedan.
Looks interesting, got a lot of design from RR and other western brands.
Regarding the engine, people outside of china might think it´s way to small, but people in china like to buy the biggest or "most luxurious" car they can afford and then choose a basic trim and smallest engine so they can afford it.
Gaining "face" is the magic word.
Engine is also not a huge problem, the car does drive and is not a sports car either. You get a ticket for everything anyway.
Copying is the middle name of China
@@Sindbad-zx1zf not trying to defend china as they are really copying others design.. but you should be afraid when they stop doing that.. japan is copying us and uk car back in 60s and 70s.. look at where they are now... if you seen how china car looks, back like 10 years ago.. even thou they are copying.. they look absolutely a joke.. but today i am quite impress how their copy business has become so much more refine.. and mind u.. 10 years only.. that's a very short time period in car business world.. pretty soon u won't be able to use the word china copy with their current pace! so.. u should be glad china is still copying going with their copying business...
Most Chinese are living in cities, pay more money with a better engine but no use in daily life, it's a waste of money.
In fact it comes from toyota"L" platform, it more like a toyota crown🤣
i have to say i really like the look of the h9..... or else i will be....
Are you alive now
The car looks amazing, Most times it amaze me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or crypto and stocks.
@Oscar Lambert That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Tony Alin berker my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
@@dulcedeleche5804 Well this not my first time of seeing this name on social platform. A CNBC news host spoke highly of this man and his trading strategies. Do you know him ? if yes , did you invest with him ?
@@markconley3877 Yes i do, I've known him for couple of years , I'm still using his services , His management team is quite impressive so far.... with my $15,000 deposit, I made over $288,000 US Dollars profit with just 10% charge.
@Oscar Lambert It's 100% safe and legal , He’s an expert trader on stocks and crypto. I basically do nothing but collect profits, he was able to get me in early on most of these stocks and I exited just at the right time, his analysis was really on point.
the red stripe on the hood IS a badge. Its actually a TRADEMARKED BADGE and has been used for over 70 years on luxury cars from this manufacturer.
Its a good looking sedan, looks nothing like a bmw
The side vent and the chrome strip (hockey stick shape) is clearly “inspired” by BMW
I think it's a good looking car. I just bought a chinese hawk motorcycle. For the price, it's pretty nice.
I kinda like the design, its the build quality and the aftersales service of these Chinese brand cars that concerns me
I second this
tesla does fine and their build quality is mediocre and their service is very poor.
@@onetwothreefour-s1n that is true although I would say it is not easy building such a cult. Not every manufacturer has such a forgiving customer base.

Honest opinion: this looks better then the S Class, the BMW and Rolls Royce.
Why do you sit up so close to the wheel? 🤣
I'm catching Lincoln vibes.. The grill.. The rear end.. Even the interior... This is a Lincoln
I thought this exterior car just awesome, mix with some sedan flagship
The very fact that a vehicle with this kind of design outside and inside, and this kind of comfort costs 1/3 of its competitors from Germany only shows how expensive the brand name on the hood has become. The main culprits for this are buyers, who are ready to massively overpay for their vehicle if it does say BMW or Mercedes or Audi.
