This is exactly what German brands need to be confronted with. Mercedes actually needed to lower prices in China to stay competetive. The same will happen here in Europe. And that's good for us consumers.

I think one of the mistakes people make is to think "cheap" with Chinese products. China makes quality, premium products as well as inexpensive or "budget" ones. From what I'm reading about Chinese cars, the quality is there. The solidity is there. What isn't quite there? The road manners of the better German and Japanese cars. But if you want a quality, premium car, don't discount the Chinese manufacturers to build them as well. And the flooding from Chinese makers won't all be "cheap" car. One more thing. When I say Chinese I mean Chinese brands. I do not mean acquired European brands like Lotus, Volvo and Polestar. Those are European cars in terms of their heritage, build, design and driving dynamics whose finances go through a Chinese parent. That's a different product than a Chinese car.
It's a really nice car, it excelled on the euroncap crash tests too. They just need to cut down on the gloss black plastic on the center console IMHO. I'd rather see that central console wrapped in leather like the rest of the dashboard.
Regarding physical buttons and "they way the future functions" -> Just no, no it's not. Physical buttons are supposed to be physical buttons where it makes sense. Smartphones don't have them because when you watch videos or pictures or anything on it, you would lose screen size with physical buttons. So there touch makes sense. In a car, where you never watch anything full screen and the buttons are always needed, there is no excuse for touch buttons. It's just stupid and the opposite of luxury..period
With 40 kWh, why even look forward to going full electric? You have that comfort already. Very rarely will the ICE fire up, even more rarely will you be doing the walk of shame at the petrol station (if you fele that way). A hasted 1500 km road trip is no problem and you can venture off the beaten path, void of fast chargers. In reality, 99% of your communiting will be all-electric, 80% of your weekend trips. If you can charge at work, you're golden. 2 or 3 tanks a years for the average owner? And yes, to real people the freedom on having the ICE actually matters.
Excellent razor sharp analysis and none of the manufacturer bias some reviewers tend to fall foul of. Thanks. And this is coming from someone partial to BMWs!!
I really think Chinese cars entering EU market are a welcome competition. Maybe European manufacturers will now raise the abysmal quality of late models. Like Huawei did with smartphones.
Premium cars used to be bought on pedigree, build quality, prestige, comfort and performance. Evs have now opened the floodgates to new Chinese and other entrants with no history in the same manner as marketing new washing machines or other home electrical appliances.
Would be nice to compare to the Mazda CX-60. The CX-60 is to small for me even though I’m ”just” 192 cm. Hopefully Wey is bigger (and I get over my resistance to buy a fully chinese product).
I will buy this. Its perfect. I travel across Germany to the UK and back. Full electric is 100 percent absolutely no good to me in any way shape or form. In fact if the world goes full electric. Im pretty stuffed.
@@roboticvenom1935 until the technology will reach a full recharge in the same time you do a fill a full tank, and the range became similar, then for whom does constantly long travels is a real step back in the amount of time lost.
If they invade Tai-wan => Resale value even lower than you think. This is maybe the only thing stopping them marching in.... The possibility of exports crashing.
Exactly. On the tech side it might not be crap, but the design certainly is :) Reminds me of those splashy, stupid American, chrome-y designs. Hard pass:)
GWM have recently arrived in my country and they've completely overturned the market. They offer cars for nearly half the price of brands such as Volkswagen, while also having far superior quality and standard equipment.
Not a chance. Partly, you are buying X5/GLE for the batch. Moreover, the names are just ridiculous:) I never was fond of Lincoln designs, and I very much dislike this one as well. So much chrome all over the place, very Chinese looking. I'll happily pay 20k extra for European stuff.
I am from China, and I can tell you responsibly that this brand sells poorly in China, because its previous generation models have high fuel consumption and are very expensive.
@@autogefuehl I think it is a little bit expensive compared to the legacy brands. I think it would be a success if they sell it for 40.000 to 50.000 Euros. If someone wants to spend 56 to 60.000 euros he might as well get a smaller SUV let's say a GLC or GLB or an X3. My main issue with this particular car, although I like it, it has nothing to do with it's badge but it's maintenance, service and reliability. A plug-in hybrid system has a lot of parts that might malfunction.
Lincoln and Hyundai called and would like their design language back...... aside from the also-ran design, it appears well executed and a strong effort - lets see the crash results!
Wey not even in the same league as western cars. Ok, not even in the juinor league of South Korean or US made cars... Would wey even knock on the door of being an acceptable car like better than the Dacia Duster still woul never ever consider it to various reasons...
Concerned about the viability of WEY. Manufacturing in China is in chaos at the moment with the Zero Covid policy impacting all manner of supply chains. Chinese companies also have less than transparent financial reporting. A good direction for the moment, and good to see they aren't simply copying other brands designs. Perhaps in 3-5 years?
Hell no. On the a column you can see a face regocnition camera. Just let them spy on you, no problem. Cheap build, surveillance wherever you go, congrats to your Chinese car.

Googled the brand. Looked at their social media. No flag waving, no degeneracy, no virtue signaling.. just cars.
What a novel idea!
Very good review, up to the point and no excess.
I watched a lot Thomas videos... Not sure who is better now!

Great thumbnail! The car looks so menacing in it :D
appreciated =)
I love the interior, reminds me a little of what Citroen or Renault would have done. It has some French car design feel. Will it be coming to the US?
The car I am waiting for. I want no other.
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite RUclips channel by far.
thanks =)
For a first generation vehicle it looks fantastic. Hoping this arrives at the states at competitive price
Another Chinese garbage
Seriously? They are getting ready to start WW3 and you would hand over your money to them?
Never underestimate the Chinese. . They built their own space station in a year.
IQOO, WEY, ORA, HONGQI, is it just me or do those names sound like those amazon items that are all from the same manufacturer
Chinese evs Ora, Zeekr, Nio, Avatr sounds pretty cool names.
Would be nice to compare to the Mazda CX-60. The CX-60 is to small for me even though I’m ”just” 192 cm. Hopefully Wey is bigger (and I get over my resistance to buy a fully chinese product).
they are similar in height 1.68-1.69cm.. you might need to look at something like the x5

This competes with the Dacia. I would still go for the Dacia but please, this should never be mentioned in same sentence with Mercedes or BMW 😁

Flawless design
GWM have recently arrived in my country and they've completely overturned the market. They offer cars for nearly half the price of brands such as Volkswagen, while also having far superior quality and standard equipment.
Is it correct the weight is hundreds of kilos less than an Audi e-tron? If true quite impressive for a PHEV with 30 kWh more than typical.
this is 💯 lincoln inspired.
Never giving my money China for a car. No way, no how. Don’t care what it is and how nice it is.
no physical button ?
Thought it was a Lincoln for the longest time while video played in the background
Hopefully the quality control with these Chinese cars is better than with their buildings.
They were recently awarded a 5 star rating by Euro NCAP. Is this proof enough?
Can’t wait for the Wey Tea Sedan!
😄
Our cameraman is called by his own name. How many reviewers do it? I love such appreciation.
we wouldnt think of anything else, what do others call them? Camera guy?
@@autogefuehl The name I often hear is the man behind the camera
hehe gotcha, yeah we are all friends on and off camera
I'll wait till they introduce the TeGuanIn Tea model before I buy one

Nice Kia RAV4.
This will sell out in the U.S guaranteed.
Where is this fascination with mediocre Chinese cars coming from?this is a poor copy of German SUVs with spyware on board.
I maybe blind but to me first outside look is shaping Jaguar F-Pace doesn't it?
Brian will you do a review of the coffee 2?
hey! You ll already find some content about this here: ruclips.net/video/x3M3CRIWaeU/видео.html
Sorry but I’ll never drive anything called coffee, protein, casein, dog, funky cat, etc
I find it ironic that the exterior styling is clearly “inspired” by BMW while it’s wearing a Munich number plate.
No chance in Europe where Mercedes, BMW, Audi etc are in production. As well as Tesla Model Y.
Loookksss coooooooll man
What with real world range of the electric motor and battery alone on highwa
The name is a bit uninspiring. Coffee? The 01 is more than enough.
The real test with those seats is a 5 hour trip. Daft name though.
Ive driving china car geely, its good however after 4 years seems quality is getting loose compare to european cars
Tugella?
How much is it?
56 k Euros
Nice Lincoln.
I want one of those. I'll get one as soon as Switzerland allows it.

Thats 5'10''!

It has already earned 5 star Euro NCAP earlier this month.
Look at where it's made.

一个厨师的本份是提供上乘的佳肴而不是有没有婚外情。欧洲人生活在美国人主导的舆论环境中，从出生起你们自身的价值判断就是被刻意塑造的。一个富裕团结的欧亚大陆是盎格鲁撒克逊人无论如何不能容忍的，因此他们不停在欧亚大陆的各个角落利用各种无底线的方式制造民族仇视、国家分裂。遍布全境的美军基地决定了德国不可能是真正的主权国家，事实上你们在精神和武力上同时被盎格鲁撒克逊人奴役而浑然不觉
Brian you say its 20k less euro from what price? and will it be sold in the UK? but its great that great wall are 100% Vegan interior,
20 k less than GLE and X5 PHEV for example
The MSRP is about $42k FWD and $46k AWD in China. With 40kwh battery and 400+ horsepower.
More competition is good
The Chn are coming
Better get the X5
omg a real phev
After they stole our knowledge for decades, they also punish us with stupid names..
Well it's the West who actually stole and invaded China first... I guess sometimes you steal and sometimes you get stolen.
