New School vs Old School- Li Auto L9 vs BMW X7 

Why are you standing in front of a US flag in your picture? 🤣

@@CrunchyButtBurger maybe because he's american living in China, just like Ethan.

我定的L9 要等到11月才交货. 你咋交这么快。

I think the high inflation and energy price in Europe won't help the situation of German car industry. They will soon cut back R&D in AI, Big Data, Digitalization, etc.

@@oceanwave4502 correct, even Tesla Y will begin to use BYD batteries. And to think Elon laughed at the company some years back

@@Maige2900 BYD made crappy cars in the past. I'm sure they've also learned a lot from Tesla.

L9 demolish x7 on every category that matter for a family SUV. (if you want driving experience, get a M3 - don't boter with x7)

@@morganangel340 sure family SUV should take care of passenger, when you whole family seat in one car Intense driving is really dangerous. i order L9 , but if i need Driving pleasure i can take my wife's TT RS to do it .

@@ballbag lol... you really live in the past. Chinese cars are not what they use to, and neiher the german cars... if you know what I mean. 😄😄

Chinese car very much features and less expensive

Yep, but not in Europe, Compare it after 5 year of use, BMW will bee much higher value and more desirable.

@@marinvlahovic2950 Maybe. Maybe not. Market is in favor of chinese more and more every day

​@@Kbax3614 lol 😂😂😂

​@@marinvlahovic2950 Probably yes, but less related to German vs. Chinese, more as Petrol vs. Electric and how they keep value. If we remove purple (green) eyeglasses, 40 kWh battery will significantly rip value of that car in 8+ years

@@kristoffer3000 It's really obvious by the usernames and way the comments are written.

@@ballbag uh...sure, whatever that means lol

I would wait for the next gen L9. Never by the 1st generation.

Thanks! It was definitely a lot of work, appreciate the acknowledgement!

Yeah a largish 3 row luxury SUV that has the smooth driving characteristics of an EV, and enough all electric range to meet 95% (if not 99%) of daily driving needs, but also can be used like a regular gas car on extended roadtrips would KILL IT with sales in the US. Especially the L8, which has almost all the features of the L9 but is significantly less expensive.

chinese cars are banned in the us

Considering the L9's dash looks like a knock off Tesla Model Y with its screen elongated its hard to even combine "chinese" and "innovation" in one sentence.

L9 is techinically an EV with range extender, not technically a hybrid. REEV>BEV, best of both worlds

@@kpokfposkf Maintenance will be more expensive with a vehicle that has two drivetrains. I definitely like the L9, but I’m pretty sure Li Auto will eventually make a BEV model of it.

@@waynelewis9110 believe so, with higher price of course. I ordered an L9 with delivery date in Dec.

that's lidar

you can choose the no Lidar version wihich is 10% cheaper

You forget import taxes Chinese cars would get.

Wth it’s almost $30k cheaper in the USA

Even better, it starts at 145,000 USD here in China, our test car was 165,000 USD as equipped. Import taxes are a pain.

@@Carfan678 well, we have some serious taxes and in the last month, the euro value is collapsing and now is the same of us dollar. Even the iPhone is 200 euros more expensive than before.

@@Wheelsboy they really are, here are 22% on a product, plus other fees. Insane. But you not answering to my second question 😂. Will be the zeekr 001 in the channel soon?

😂😂😂

starting price is 1.000.000, so, yeah, its true

Teslas do sell for less than they do in the States (while the same MIC models go for much more in Europe than they do in China) though. I think it's because when it comes to EVs, the Chinese do have a competitive edge which hadn't been the case with ICE vehicles. So the most curious would be how should the Germans price their EVs in the Chinese market today? The (MIC by BAIC the local partner, thus no import tax) EQE for example is facing what Mercedes had never experienced in China before - legitimate competitors like the NIO ET7.

X7 is relatively cheap in the US because it is built in the US. Importing it into China is what causes it to nearly double in price. Same reason very few Chinese made cars are imported into the US. It is no longer because of quality/safety issues, but taxes. The X5L is built in China, so it is a good deal cheaper, but still starts at around 90k USD though. So either way, BMW is gonna be in trouble in the coming years when Li is selling a fully loaded 3 row plug in extended range EV that can hit 60 in 5 seconds for 30% less than a entry trim 2 row X5 with a 4 banger under the hood. That BMW badge is worth quite a bit in China still (e.g. the I'd rather cry in the front seat of a BMW reality show contestant), but I guess some of the younger professionals don't care as much, and the L9 is just soooo much cheaper.

I am chinese and I just got my X7 arrived which I bought it about half a year ago. To be exact, it caused me 1.41m RMB (190K USD). it's very obvious, the import tax is pretty unbelivable in China.(from 50%+, higher the price higher the tax) Telsa have a full on factory in Shanghai so the price is roughly the same as the US price, because they are all locally produced and don't need to pay additional import taxes. Same as BMW/mercades/Audi, they all got few partilly seires/model produced in their Chinese factory.(normally low end one) are quiet cheap as well

yup, that thing is a BEAST

lol, it will not reach EU markets at all, as West is blocking such access as it knows it cant compete with china..China already won, period. now question is how long before EU collapses and US and THEN, only then will such cars enter our markets and obviously ppl will buy them as they posses a much better value for money than overpriced crap we are getting served from the likes of bmw to renaults etc..

Man!! I'm Jealous. There is no way that in United States will ever see this vehicle. I'm all in. Man it's a daggone shame that the US can't make a car like this.

@@adriancooper78 maybe it will enter Mexican market in the future and you can buy there second hand I guess

@@morganangel340 🤣🤣

Рынок ЕС не допустит появления конкурента на вашем рынке, так же как и рынок США. И Китай пока невосполнит собственный рынок не будет выходить за его пределы.

From the perspective of the current sales scale, Chinese electric car brands are only in the initial stage. In the face of many car companies, European markets with higher quality requirements are not easy to accept and willing to pay for local consumers. This is a new force in China that needs to face and solve problems.

I think --you should wait 3~4 years 。 when Byd's success may be needed to embolden Chinese carmakers。 but now the global economy…………hard to say. (ฅ•﹏•ฅ)

this is the way. L9 + Toyota BRZ or nissan Z.

@@randomname931 nice choice

"The L9 is ahead of the x7 by a country mile" Isn't in any way, literally. X7 is better off road, yes, don't doubt it, plenty of videos online to prove it. BMW is 20 years ahead in terms of engineering and driving. It will sit on 250 km/h all day long in perfect comfort and safety.

AITO M7 size much small then li L9 and BMW X7. there are different level ,third row of AITO M7 is gruelling . if AITO want compare with L9, X7 and GLS in full size SUV area ,launch M9 if AITO had plan on it .

other inferior of AITO is they can never sell to oversea market ,cos huawei under USA strict sanction. they got no chance out of china. that's why most of chinese automaker who sell they car out of china don't use huawei car OS,although it's nice one.

@@xiaoyang9758 Of course AITO can sell overseas, Huawei is still launching the Mate 50 series overseas and if AITO does well in China it will launch overseas since it's all Chinese tech and Chinese parts, there's nothing the US can do about it. The US can't ban Huawei's own OS worldwide lmao.

@@jzvr5842 sure so let AITO sell they car to oversea market with price over 50k USD , with this price and tariff other country except USA and EU , no one will pay that price with a chinese car. by the way huawei mate 50 is complete jork ,without 5G chip they sell s**t

@@jzvr5842 I actually have a Huawei laptop and am so glad I bought it they can succeed at anything

Yes 💩

We can export it from China 🇨🇳.

this is another company

Oh and in China L9 is like 500k RMB and X7 is like 1mil…so X7=2L9 almost😂

5 Stars.
