Bronco Basecamp: China's Forbidden Electric Bronco
The Ford Bronco Basecamp, a unique offering from Ford's JMC joint venture in China, presents an intriguing blend of electric and extended-range p... moreowertrains, targeting the adventurous camper. The reviewer highlights its distinctive expandable roof, designed to enhance interior comfort for sleeping, and a versatile camping-focused interior with ample power outlets and clever storage solutions. While the exterior retains a rugged Bronco aesthetic, the interior tech, featuring large screens and advanced displays, leans more towards modern Chinese EVs. The vehicle's off-road capability is noted as reasonably competent, with available front and rear locking differentials on the top-spec Outer Banks trim, though the suspension is a compromise between off-road prowess and on-road comfort. The reviewer praises the extended-range version's impressive CLTC range of over 1,200 km. However, the advanced driver-assistance systems are deemed not class-leading, and the steering lacks feedback. Ultimately, the Bronco Basecamp is positioned as a unique proposition for the Chinese market, offering a distinct off-road-inspired aesthetic and camping features not found in its 'jelly bean shaped' competitors, though its true 'Bronco' identity is left for the viewer to ponder. less
Maextro S800: We Drove China's Most Luxurious EV!
The Maextro S800 is presented as a direct competitor to ultra-luxury brands like Maybach, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce, aiming to capture the high-end Chi... morenese EV market. The review highlights its opulent interior, featuring real metal, leather, and wood, along with advanced tech like a Huawei-integrated screen and an elaborate headliner. The reviewer notes the extensive powertrain options and advanced driver assistance systems, including rear-steer and crabwalk functionality. However, the review points out significant drawbacks, particularly the unimpressive suspension tuning and technology, which detract from the overall luxury experience. The reviewer also expresses disappointment with certain aspects, deeming them 'deeply embarrassing' and lamenting the lack of expected luxury features like caviar service. Despite its ambitious goals and luxurious materials, the S800 appears to fall short in delivering a truly refined and competitive ultra-luxury EV experience, especially concerning its ride quality. less
Nissan N7: Is Legacy Auto Finally Competitive In China?
The Nissan N7 represents a significant shift for legacy automakers in the competitive Chinese EV market, offering a compelling package at an aggressiv... moree price point of $17,000-$21,000 USD. While its exterior styling is described as "terminally generic," the N7 compensates with surprisingly detailed lighting elements and a spacious interior that adopts many modern EV conventions, including a minimalist dashboard and a large standard 15.6-inch center screen. The reviewer highlights the inclusion of CarPlay and a snappy, responsive infotainment system powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip as key advantages over many foreign competitors. Positives include comfortable, highly adjustable seats (even with lumbar and bolsters), a spacious rear cabin, and a smooth, progressive power delivery designed to appeal to traditional ICE buyers. However, the N7 is not without its flaws. The reviewer notes confusing menu logic, a voice assistant that, while better than many foreign counterparts, has limitations (e.g., not adjusting exterior mirrors), and an "AI" seat adjustment feature that proved buggy and required a manual reset. The driving experience is characterized as a competent commuter sedan with direct steering but limited road feel. Despite these drawbacks, the N7's advanced driver assistance systems, including highway NOA, are seen as a major step forward for legacy brands in this segment. Ultimately, the N7 demonstrates that legacy automakers can succeed in China by collaborating with local partners like Dongfeng, leveraging their expertise in EV architectures and smart cockpits, and offering desirable products at affordable prices. less
Denza N8L: BYD’s 760 HP Tahoe Killer!
The Denza N8L positions itself as a formidable contender in China's large SUV segment, aiming to challenge established players. The vehicle boast... mores an impressive 762 horsepower tri-motor PHEV powertrain, delivering exhilarating acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds) that significantly outperforms luxury rivals at a fraction of the cost. The reviewer highlights the advanced driver assistance system, noting its impressive performance in complex urban environments despite initial hesitancy on highways. Handling is praised for its good body control and surprisingly tight turning radius, attributed to rear-wheel steering. Exterior styling receives a modern update with revised DRLs, offering a slimmer, less traditional SUV look than its predecessor. Inside, the N8L offers a luxurious, tech-filled cabin with multiple screens and convenient features like dual refrigerators and a unique child-recognition voice command system. However, the reviewer notes that material quality, specifically the use of faux leather instead of real leather for seats, falls short of the premium expectations set by its higher-priced sibling, the N9. A significant drawback is the absence of 'zero-gravity' seats in the second row, a feature common in competitors. Despite these shortcomings, the N8L presents a compelling package of performance, technology, and value. less
2025 Xpeng P7: How Can Tesla Compete With This?
The 2025 Xpeng P7 represents a significant evolution, aiming to challenge established players like the Tesla Model 3. The reviewer highlights its stri... moreking, albeit polarizing, "Xmart face" design and impressive aerodynamic coefficient of 0.201. Performance is strong, with the dual-motor "Quantum X" variant boasting 437 kW and a 0-100 km/h time of 3.7 seconds. The P7's driving dynamics are praised, particularly its comfortable ride thanks to standard air suspension and a refined chassis, though it's noted as less overtly sporty than the Xiaomi SU7. Interior highlights include a customizable AI Bionic cockpit with a 15.6-inch rotating display, a crisp augmented reality HUD, and premium materials. Practicality is addressed with a 575L rear cargo space and a small 56L frunk. The reviewer commends the advanced driver assistance system, powered by the new "Touring chip," for its smooth and decisive operation in real-world conditions, despite minor quirks. Overall, the P7 is presented as a compelling, well-rounded package that successfully builds upon its predecessor's foundation. less
We Drove An Electric Car Through Wild China!
The Wheelsboy Team embarks on an ambitious electric vehicle road trip through the remote and stunning landscapes of Western China, piloting the ONVO L... more90 SUV. The journey highlights the ONVO L90's capability in challenging conditions, including battery swapping via NIO's network and its suitability for carrying gear. The review emphasizes the breathtaking scenery encountered, from high mountain passes to grasslands and unique cultural encounters with local families and yaks. While the L90 performs admirably, the narrative focuses more on the adventure, the beauty of the region, and the warmth of its people than on a detailed critique of the vehicle's performance metrics. The trip underscores the feasibility of EV travel in remote areas, showcasing China's developing infrastructure and the country's unparalleled natural beauty. less
Li Auto I8: MPV? SUV? Good?
The Li Auto i8 presents a compelling package, attempting to bridge the gap between SUV and MPV with a controversial yet aerodynamic design. The review... moreer highlights its impressive 98 kWh Kirin battery, offering a CLTC range of 720 km and rapid 10-80% charging in 10 minutes. Inside, the i8 boasts a family-friendly, tech-laden interior, mirroring other Li Auto models with multiple large screens and a capable voice assistant (though English functionality is still being refined). The driving experience is praised for its quietness, comfort, and potent dual-motor performance in sport modes, despite a less distinct feel in comfort settings. The advanced driver assistance system shows significant improvement, exhibiting human-like driving behavior, though occasional aggressive or hesitant maneuvers and turn signal timing raise concerns. The reviewer notes the lack of a frunk and limited cargo space with the third row in use. Ultimately, while the i8 offers strong features and a premium feel, its success may hinge on navigating the intensely competitive Chinese EV market and overcoming its polarizing exterior styling. less
Nio ES8: China's Car Price War Is Wild!
The NIO ES8's third generation marks a significant upgrade, particularly with its substantial price reduction, making it approximately $10,000 ch... moreeaper than its predecessor. The reviewer highlights the expanded dimensions, enhanced luxury, and improved comfort as key benefits. Notable features include a 230L frunk with multiple opening methods, a 102 kWh battery offering a CLTC range of 635 km, and a 900V charging architecture. The interior is praised for its premium materials, extensive displays (including a 15.6-inch OLED and a 38-inch HUD), and physical controls for comfort features. The second row offers a 'zero gravity' mode and a refrigerator, though the third row is noted as less spacious than the second. Driving dynamics are described as surprisingly agile for its size, with a tight turning radius and a comfortable, stable ride thanks to the dual-chamber air suspension. However, the video also delves into the 'dark side' of China's aggressive price war, where new models significantly devalue older ones, leading to owner dissatisfaction and a general market instability that necessitates aggressive pricing for brands to survive. less
I Respond To Your Comments! (200K Subscriber Special)
This video serves as a special 200,000 subscriber celebration, where the host humorously responds to viewer comments. The content is lighthearted and ... moreengaging, focusing on personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes insights rather than in-depth vehicle reviews. The host addresses comments ranging from measurement confusion (metric vs. imperial) and personal nicknames like 'Trunk Boy' to the inclusion of female colleagues in videos and humorous comparisons to movie characters. A significant portion is dedicated to a sponsored segment for a Vantrue dashcam. The host also reflects on his driving style, acknowledging he's not a race car driver and prefers to offer an 'everyman's take' on performance vehicles. The video concludes with thanks to the team and viewers, and a teaser for a new work car purchase. While not a traditional car review, it offers a personal connection with the audience and highlights the channel's commitment to impartiality. less
China's Car Safety Test Went So Wrong!
This video presents a comprehensive independent safety test of 36 driver assistance systems from 20+ brands, including Tesla, Huawei, BYD, and Mercede... mores-Benz. The tests, conducted on a closed highway, simulated various critical scenarios like sudden braking, construction zones, and nighttime obstacles. A significant majority of vehicles failed to perform adequately, with many AEB systems failing or making poor decisions. Tesla's Model 3 and Model X were highlighted as the overall winners, passing five out of six tests, though even they had notable failures. The review emphasizes that more hardware (like LiDAR and radar) doesn't guarantee better performance, and cheaper cars sometimes outperformed more expensive ones. A key takeaway is that current systems are far from true autonomy, and drivers must remain vigilant, as automakers are urged to advertise these systems more responsibly to avoid misleading consumers. less
Onvo L90: This Is What $23,000 Gets You In China?
The Onvo L90, an electric SUV from NIO's more affordable brand, presents a compelling value proposition, especially with its pre-sale price start... moreing under $34,000, and potentially as low as $23,000 with the Battery-as-a-Service option. While it may lack the "crazy features" or "gimmicks" found in some competitors, the L90 excels in delivering a solid, well-rounded experience. The reviewer highlights its attractive, albeit blunt, styling, class-leading drag coefficient, and a massive 240L frunk. Inside, the cabin boasts premium materials like Napa leather and real wood trim, complemented by a user-friendly 17.2-inch SkyOS infotainment system. The L90 offers comfortable seating across all three rows, with the second row featuring a standout "zero gravity" mode. Driving dynamics are praised, with the adjustable air suspension and optional 4D smart suspension system providing a comfortable ride and surprisingly athletic handling in sport mode. The vehicle's lighter weight compared to rivals also contributes to efficiency and driving dynamics. While the reviewer notes the absence of a power outlet in the frunk and the limited utility of the driver assistance systems on the tested route, the overall verdict is that the L90 is a "very compelling option" for its blend of practicality, comfort, and affordability. less
We Drove China's Unbelievable $32,000 Electric Sports Car
The SC01 is presented as a refreshing departure from typical electric vehicles, focusing on the core principles of a sports car: low weight, agility, ... moreand driver connection. Priced affordably at $32,000 and weighing just 1,365 kg, it aims to deliver a visceral driving experience. The dual-motor AWD setup produces 320 kW and achieves 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, aided by a mid-mounted 60 kWh battery that contributes to a low center of gravity (360 mm). The interior eschews screens for tactile physical controls, offering extensive customization options usually found in luxury vehicles. However, the review highlights that this is a pre-production model, with noted issues in paintwork, panel gaps, and some non-functional buttons. The ride is described as harsh, and motor whine is prominent due to lack of sound deadening and high power delivery. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer praises its raw, engaging feel, comparing it favorably to track-focused cars and emphasizing its potential to bring affordable, fun-to-drive EVs to the market. The reviewer's colleague even purchased one. less
iCAR V23: China's Little Electric Land Cruiser
The iCAR V23 is presented as a charming and affordable electric 4x4 SUV, drawing comparisons to a Lego Defender or toy G-Wagon. Reviewers praise its d... moreistinctive retro-futuristic design, surprisingly spacious interior for its size, and practical storage solutions, including a unique rear storage compartment and clever hidden cubbies. The physical controls for essential functions like drive mode and volume are highlighted as a welcome feature, contrasting with the trend of screen-only interfaces. While the base model offers steel wheels, the tested vehicle featured aftermarket spacers that impacted steering feel, described as 'elasticy' and 'rubbery.' The ride quality is noted as soft with significant body roll and nose-diving under braking, though the damping is surprisingly good. Off-road capability is described as 'diet off-roading,' suitable for light trails rather than serious expeditions. Performance from the dual-motor setup is deemed 'spunky' and responsive for city driving. A significant drawback is the complete lack of rear charging ports. Despite some quirks, the V23 is considered the best Chery vehicle reviewed to date, offering a fun and affordable package. less
Xiaomi Yu7: Electric Ferrari With 22nd Century Tech
The Xiaomi YU7 SUV is presented as a significant contender in the electric SUV market, aiming to replicate the success of its sedan counterpart, the S... moreU7. The reviewer praises its striking exterior design, comparing it favorably to luxury sports cars, and highlights its impressive aerodynamic efficiency. Inside, the YU7 boasts innovative features such as a massive 1.1m head-up display, a dimmable glass roof, and a highly customizable magnetic attachment system for accessories and controls. The reviewer is particularly impressed by the "magic button" which can be programmed for numerous functions, and the integration with the Xiaomi ecosystem. Performance is strong, with the Max trim offering 508 kW and a 0-100 km/h time of 3.2 seconds, complemented by an advanced air suspension system. Driving dynamics are described as agile and light, akin to a lifted SU7 wagon, offering a more engaging experience than some competitors. A standout feature is the "motion sickness relief mode," which gently adjusts regen and acceleration for a smoother ride. While not a "Model Y killer," the YU7 is positioned as a new benchmark for electric SUVs, much like the SU7 was for sedans. less
Lynk&Co 900: It's Official, China Makes The Best Family SUVs
The Lynk&Co 900 positions itself as a flagship family SUV, aiming to compete with established Chinese giants. The reviewer highlights its striking... more Range Rover-inspired styling and a distinctive front LED panel. Inside, the "classic Geely approach" of a massive 30-inch central display, coupled with an impressive rear entertainment screen and a premium Harmon Kardon audio system, creates an immersive experience. The second row offers luxurious amenities like airline-style vents, heated/ventilated/massaging seats with leg rests, and fast charging. However, the reviewer notes the interior, while youthful, lacks true luxury materials, with some hard plastics present. A standout feature is the spinning second-row seats, though its practicality is questioned due to numerous conditions required for operation. The plug-in hybrid powertrain is praised for its strong performance, especially the tri-motor version, and a commendable pure electric range of up to 220 km. While the adjustable air suspension provides comfort, body roll is noticeable. The driver assistance systems, particularly the Nvidia Thor chip-equipped variants, are deemed the most confidence-inspiring from a Geely brand yet, despite a minor persistent issue with lane centering. The review is tempered by significant software-related glitches experienced with the third-row seats, rear screen connectivity, and second-row seat functionality during testing, though these are attributed to early production models and potentially fixable via OTA updates. Despite these issues, the reviewer believes the 900 has flagship potential, offering appealing styling, features, and driving dynamics. less
How To Buy China's Version Of A Bentley
This video provides an in-depth look at the Hongqi Guoya, a luxury Chinese sedan positioned as an alternative to brands like Bentley. The reviewer hig... morehlights its opulent interior, spaciousness, and unique styling, emphasizing its target audience of high-level officials and affluent individuals. While the exterior is described as distinctive, the primary focus is on the lavish second-row experience, complete with premium seating and amenities. Driving impressions are touched upon, but the core appeal of the Guoya lies in its chauffeur-driven luxury. The video also touches on the significant barrier to entry, with a price tag around $250,000, making it an exclusive purchase. Overall, the Guoya is presented as a statement vehicle for those seeking ultimate comfort and prestige, rather than outright performance. less
The Only Auto Show That Matters: 2025 Shanghai Auto Show
The 2025 Shanghai Auto Show coverage by Wheelsboy highlights a dynamic Chinese automotive market, showcasing a range of innovative debuts. The BYD Sea... morel 06 DMI wagon is noted for its practicality and focus on foreign markets, contrasting with its all-electric GT sibling. Denza's Z sports car concept is a standout, praised for its sporty design, innovative folding steering wheel, and new DUS M magnetic rheological suspension, addressing a perceived lack of sports cars in China. Yangwang's U8L extends the U8 SUV's appeal to families with a longer, three-row configuration. Zeekr's 9X (Hjo Cullen) makes a bold statement with its Rolls-Royce Cullinan-inspired design and powerful hybrid powertrain. The Envo L90 SUV targets the large SUV segment with a practical frunk and battery-swapping capability. Huawei and JAC's S800 sedan showcases luxury and advanced technology with its substantial size and Huawei's driver assistance systems. Hongchi's unnamed off-road concept offers classic styling and hybrid power. MG updates the Cybster and teases the boxy Cyber X concept, hinting at pop-up headlights and new architectures. The video also touches on the popularity of the Sous7, with other brands mimicking its style, and the modernized M817 from M Hero. Finally, the Mazda EZ60 SUV, built on a Chinese platform, is presented as a stylish, albeit China-exclusive, new energy vehicle. The overall impression of the show is one of significant innovation, particularly in electrification and advanced driver assistance, though perhaps more subdued in crowd energy compared to previous years. less
Firefly: Did NIO Make A Better Electric Mini?
The NIO Firefly presents an intriguing proposition as a premium electric hatchback targeting the European market, directly challenging established pla... moreyers like the Mini Cooper. Priced competitively at under $21,000 USD, it offers a surprisingly upscale interior with features like a 2.5K center screen, extensive soft-touch materials, and a premium sound system, surpassing many cheaper Chinese alternatives in perceived quality. Practicality is a strong suit, boasting superior cargo space to the Mini Aceman and Renault 5 E-Tech, along with a useful frunk. However, its performance, with 140 horsepower and an 8.2-second 0-100 km/h time, is comparable to entry-level EVs but falls short of some Chinese rivals. The reviewer notes that while the ride is comfortable and steering direct, it lacks the 'go-kart' feel of a Mini. A significant hurdle for the Firefly in its home market is its high price relative to larger, similarly or less expensive Chinese vehicles. Its success in Europe hinges on overcoming brand recognition challenges and convincing buyers to choose a new Chinese brand over established European ones, despite its premium features and competitive pricing. less
Xiaomi SU7 Ultra: We Drove The 1550 HP Road Legal Terror
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra delivers a staggering 1,550 horsepower and performance figures comparable to hypercars, all at a sub-$75,000 price point, signifi... morecantly undercutting its pre-sale price. The reviewer highlights its Porsche-like handling, precise steering, and impressive grip, attributing this to its advanced suspension and braking systems, including standard carbon-ceramic brakes. While the interior offers luxury with ample carbon fiber and a premium sound system, the reviewer notes the optional, more subtle interior color scheme costs extra. The primary concern is the sheer, almost terrifying, power, which the reviewer believes the average driver is ill-equipped to handle, likening it to automotive nuclear proliferation. Despite its exhilarating performance and impressive technology, the SU7 Ultra raises questions about the escalating horsepower wars and the safety implications of such extreme power in a mass-produced sedan. less
Denza N9: This Is BYD’s 1000 HP Escalade Killer
The Denza N9 emerges as a formidable contender in the large SUV segment, challenging American dominance with impressive technology and performance. Th... moree reviewer highlights its striking exterior design, drawing comparisons to Range Rover, and a unique rear-end styling. Performance is a key strength, with the E3 tri-motor plug-in hybrid powertrain delivering a staggering 935 horsepower and enabling a sub-4-second 0-100 km/h sprint. The N9 also boasts exceptional maneuverability for its size, thanks to 10 degrees of rear-wheel steering and the ability to pivot. Inside, the N9 offers a luxurious and tech-laden cabin featuring a massive 17.3-inch central screen, dual 13.2-inch displays, a 26-speaker DB L sound system, and dual refrigerators. While the reviewer praises the comfort and adjustability of the seats, including a unique third-row seat bottom angle adjustment, they note a lack of legroom for the rear passengers when the leg rests are deployed. The CLTC range is cited at 200 km from its 47 kWh battery, which is less than competitors, attributed to its heavier 3.1-ton weight. The Celestial IB/D-Pilot 300 driver assistance system shows promise, though it exhibits a tendency to cut into the far inside lane during left turns. Overall, the N9 is presented as a technologically advanced and powerful SUV that significantly raises the bar for Chinese large SUVs. less
Stelato S9: Huawei's Attempt At An S-Class
The Stelato S9, Huawei's ambitious entry into the luxury sedan market, presents a compelling package with a strong emphasis on features and value... more, though it falls short of challenging established German benchmarks like the S-Class. The exterior styling, initially polarizing, grows on the reviewer, particularly the front-end design. Inside, the second row is a standout, offering luxurious features like heated, cooled, and massaging seats, a refrigerated compartment, and an impressive, albeit flawed, 32-inch projector screen. The reviewer criticizes the screen's usability due to small text, large black margins, and poor visibility in daylight, suggesting traditional tablets might be a better alternative. Driving dynamics are a mixed bag; while the dual-motor AWD variant offers brisk acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds), the reviewer notes excessive front-end lift and a jarring, artificial sport mode sound. The adaptive air suspension is described as overly soft, leading to noticeable body roll. A significant controversy surrounding a reviewer's ban on a Chinese social media platform for criticizing the car's suspension is also discussed, raising questions about brand confidence. Ultimately, the S9's technology, particularly Huawei's advanced driver-assistance systems, is praised, but the reviewer concludes that Huawei's strategy of partnering with less capable automakers dilutes the overall product quality, suggesting Huawei should consider manufacturing its own vehicles. less
Best Debuts From The 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show
This video provides a comprehensive overview of the most exciting vehicle debuts at the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show, focusing on Chinese domestic brands.... more The reviewer highlights several key models, including the Lynk & Co Z20, ROX Motor's special editions (Fishing and Falcon), Baojun Yep City EV, the updated BJ 212, Hyptec HL, AION UT, Fangchengbao B8, Denza N9, and the Yangwang U7. While the video showcases a wide array of innovative and niche vehicles, it primarily serves as a visual tour rather than an in-depth review of any single model. The reviewer expresses particular enthusiasm for the updated BJ 212's off-road capabilities and preserved character, and notes the luxury and technological advancements in the Denza N9 and Yangwang U7. The lack of detailed driving impressions or performance metrics for most vehicles is a notable omission, making it more of a 'first look' at the show's highlights. less
Xpeng P7+ Is Very Unexpected
The XPeng P7+ represents a significant departure from the original P7, shifting focus from sporty driving dynamics to enhanced comfort, space, and fam... moreily-oriented features. While it retains some design cues, the P7+ adopts a more cab-forward, liftback design, offering substantially increased cargo space comparable to larger SUVs. The interior, though featuring quality materials, adopts a more traditional and simplified design language, potentially influenced by Volkswagen. Key upgrades include standard heated, cooled, and massaging seats, a 20-speaker sound system, and dual wireless charging pads. However, the reviewer notes that the driving experience is less engaging than the P7, with lighter steering and more body roll, indicating a move towards a more comfortable, family-focused sedan rather than a sports sedan. Power options are also less performance-oriented. Despite a respectable range and charging speed, it lags behind some competitors. The new "AI Hawkeye" driver assistance system, sans lidar, performs comparably to previous iterations. Ultimately, the P7+ is positioned not as a replacement, but as a more practical and comfortable complement to the P7 in XPeng's lineup, likely appealing to a broader audience seeking utility and comfort over outright performance. less
Zeekr Mix: This Is Not A Concept Car
The Zeekr Mix is presented as a groundbreaking electric MPV that defies conventional expectations. The reviewer highlights its striking, futuristic &q... moreuot;22nd-century" styling and a concept-car-like interior, particularly praising the innovative pillarless design with unique forward-hinged doors and the electrically spinning front seats that transform the cabin into a lounge or mobile yoga studio. Practicality is also a strong suit, with ample cargo space and flexible seating arrangements. However, the review notes a significant drawback: a perceived reduction in interior material quality compared to other Zeekr models, suggesting a compromise to accommodate advanced technology and features. Performance is described as adequate, with a powerful rear motor offering "M3 levels of power" but tempered by the vehicle's substantial weight, resulting in gentle initial acceleration. Despite the material quality concerns, the reviewer expresses strong overall enthusiasm, calling it one of their "absolute favorite cars of 2024" due to its unique proposition and captivating design. less
