The Ultimate Test: Can A Chinese Car Have German Qualities? (Voyah FREE vs Audi Q5L) 

2023年应该是中国车出口爆发的元年，虽然今年出口已经超过德国了，和第一名日本很近，但这仅仅是开始

Do keep in mind that this is a aggressive move by the Chinese economy and most manufactures are making a loss even when heavily subsidized by the government. So they are playing the game by their own rules.

@@caleidoo your assertion is wrong. Is just like phones and other gadgets. You're paying for the brand and not just what you bought.

When you don't have money, you don't care

@@caleidoo The same can be said for almost all EV makers. How many billions of government grant have been given to Tesla? And don't forget billions more in tax relief and rebates for EV car buyers. Tesla been in the red for years before finally making profit last year.

Ethan was really yakking his head off in that helmet ...just the seal was so good.

Let the fanny pack stig be a regular! Hehehehe

That's because the Audi is a 6 year old design, and Western companies are slower to market, so that's more like an 8-10 year age difference in the design

@@jamescartier8728 Slower to market indeed. Look at Li Auto, the company itself didn't even exist until 2015. Li Auto would unveil its first ever car, the Li ONE, in April 2019, and by January 2020, volume production had begun, and by September 2022, they've already sold around 200,000 Li ONEs, and after less than three years in production, the Li ONE is already OUT OF PRODUCTION, since Li Auto has now launched its successors the L8 and L9.

GM was big part of Chinese Evs.

yeah VWs are taxis in China...agree 😂🤣🤣. So I am never gonna take a taxi in China..since I know it can breakdown.

The prestige is something Chinese brands don't have, everyone knows they buy Chinese cars simply because they are cheaper.

I own a Mercedes E-class and a kinda cheap zeekr. The satnav in Mercedes is noticeably laggy and this will be a deal-breaker for me in the future. Mercedes definitely has way better driving quality, but doesn't really feel premium.

@@realEthanZou 开国产车都是loser

Yes very on point. As a matter of fact VW recognizes this and just set up a joint venture company last month in China with a very capable local software company, in order to address this issue.

At least Mercedes has a good entertainment system

also there is just one company from the mighty west that can compete with chinese brands.

Not there? Our whole country have been using Xiaomi phones for years, they are totally fine. I still like Samsung better exclusively for its UI, but I find Xiaomi being among the very few brands that are decently usable.

German engineering ->good driving characteristic, uneccssary over engineering, pain in the ass to maintain, spare part expensive af

@@林振华-t4v powerful engine is true, good quality is not

I had Audi Q5 for 4 years and it was great.

We did a full review about four months ago, we linked it in video…

This is a new brand in China. Even in China, most of people never heard about it.

@@leejack2478 wow and they compare it to an audi. That's the level of automobile engineering and prowess that Chinese have.

@@Wheelsboy dudes...improve on your humour and content. Getting bad by the day. Hire new anchors, editors, storyboarders, script writers. Please don't take it hard. Good suggestion from a concerned viewer.

Three!

you pay for the badge dude.

@Morrismack - What's the question in that. Of course

6 cans each counting the camera and sound guy.... party time boys....

这车卖的不好。

Yeah. Should have compared it to the EQE or IX

The Voyah is actually 2 years old. Haven't been selling too well in China (1,225 were delivered in October, compared to the 714,000 NEVs sold in total - out of which 1/3 were BYDs) as it's often derided as lacking an identity among the fierce competition. Still doing better than most of the Germans in the same segment like the Audi Q4 e-tron and the Mercedes EQC (575 and 104 units were delivered last month respectively), but not as good as the BMW iX3 (2,592). Nope, the Chinese are not drawn in a feverish nationalistic drive to support local brands: the ICE offerings from the German luxury brands have a diehard following and are still selling in tens of thousands (the Q5L alone sold 9,801 units last month). Truth to be told, the German EVs are just not as competitive as local rivals in the Chinese market, at least for now. About the ride - having driven around a lot, I can guarantee you that China has the best road, superbly built and maintained, even in the most remote, trafficless corners of the vast nation. The infrastructure (and the moeny spent) is just insane. The Voyah has a softer ride, most likely because it has air suspension.

@@MaticTheProto benz EQE battery too bad, sale number less than 100 a month in China, model y has 30k+ a month in China.

@@shiwenhe2814 yeah, because the tesla is cheap garbage. I like drivers displays and door handles :)

Yes, you can, bro, the language needs to be adjusted according to the destination country, generally it's an international language, bro

no... the colaborate from time to time.

No

driving after drinking any alcoholic beverages is illegal

You can drive a car with beer in hand, as long as you don't drink it. The police will definitely stop you and make a drinking test on you. If you are not drunk, you are good to go, maybe get a ticket for "unsafe driving". If you are drunk, you should thank to the government, they will give you a room and three meals a day for several years. How wonderful it is.

@@erwingobig1954the police found you drink wine after test, you will be arrested, and sent to hospital for blood test. if without any accident, wine drive(20-80mg/100ml) will be fine 1000-2000RMB and baned driving for 6 month. drunk drive(>=80mg/100ml) will be baned driving for 5 years, and put in prison about 6 months. not that much if there is no accident

Nope, and we absolutely did not drink and drive! The only alcohol consumed was the small sip that Elliot took during the conclusion (and he did not drive home).

They should aim for Japanese engineering standards. That's very difficult as it involves back breaking work standards and brain rattling research.
