I think is funny how everyone has an opinion regarding Chinese cars but have never owned one of the more recent ones. Its simple if you don't like them don't buy them i don't know why people have to knock them when they have never owned one and don't intend to.

@gottalovethephilippines5417 3 месяца назад

Exactly, it reminds me of many years ago the same thing happened with Japanese cars, then Korean cars, now Chinese made cars. The current Chinese cars are much better engineered and manufactured than they were even 5 years ago

A ute is designed to carry stuff. A ute needs power. No tradesman has ever walked into a showroom and purchased on fuel effiency, ever! Now with the government about to f*ck things up with their taxing, we may never see a reasonable powered ute in the future. There is the Raptor, but a) it is over 100K, and b) you end up being another dickhead ranger driver.....🤣

WTF is mood lighting in a ute for, actually never mind. I'd prefer not to know...😂 I'd say if you want to tow a 3.5t and and take "the family and all the gear", you shouldn't/cant use a DC ute anyway. Is it a ZF transmission or a licensed copy of the ZF transmission?

Toyota Hilux poverty pack workmate ute is $56,000 on the road which is a 110kW and 400 Nm. Basic with vinyl floors and steel wheels. ITS CALLED VALUE FOR MONEY

@drivingenthusiastaustralia 6 месяцев назад

Yes, but according to Redbook data (based on what people have actually sold their vehicles for), the HiLux drops only 25-30% of its value after 5 years. Brands like LDV and GWM (other like-minded 'value' brands) drop around 50%. In other words, that HiLux you're referring to will still be worth around $41,000 after 5 years. My professional opinion is that this T9 will be selling for around $20,000-25,000 on the used car market after 5 years. That's without investigating other ownership experiences such as after-sales care, service availability and dealer network, long-term reliability. All of these areas are still an unknown in Australia, which is always a challenge for any new brand. It will be interesting to see how it goes. If they can stick with it and keep pushing like MG, and even Hyundai-Kia in their early years, I have no doubt they will succeed.

I remember when every body used to hate Japanese cars and so on and look at now. I think the Chinese cars are already here and proven them selfs. And at the end of the day every car manufacturer has issues including Toyota and ford . Depreciation and value is all made up. When buying cars we all loose out . The Jac looks good and it will be interesting to see the reviews when they get here .

@drivingenthusiastaustralia 6 месяцев назад

Depreciation is not made up. It is literally the value of the car when it's time to sell, based on what vehicles have sold for. According to recent data from Redbook in Australia, car brands from emerging markets are not holding their value as well as some of the established models. Let me give you an example: 2018 Toyota HiLux SR5 automatic (main top spec) Price when new: $56,440 Resale value today (official guide): $40,050-$44,200 (avg: $42,125) Depreciation: $14,315, or a loss of 25.3% on new car price 2018 LDV T60 LUXE auto (main top spec) Price when new: $36,831 Resale value today: $16,900-$19,100 (avg: $18,000) Depreciation: $18,831, or a loss of 51.1% And yes, completely agree, Chinese cars are definitely getting there and I have no doubt the standards in engineering and design will be up to scratch in the near future. But the future isn't here yet.

Why is it lemon? Owned GWM cannon for 3 years,not a single issue. And you reviewed it as lemon.

@drivingenthusiastaustralia 5 месяцев назад

Because it features an old (Euro 5), weak (low power and torque) engine and it offers low ground clearance and, in my opinion, copied design elements from other utes. Also, these JACs are not selling well in China yet they are being sent over to Australia, which is very questionable in my view - 15 years experience as a motoring journalist. If you've had a good experience with the GWM, well done. That's great. I never said it was a lemon. I said the front suspension is terrible and needs further tuning to keep up with the current segment standards, in my opinion. PS. If you read correctly, the thumbnail for this video specifically asks a question: "Another lemon hazard?"
