2025 Audi SQ6 E-Tron Review: Best Performance Audi Yet?
The Audi SQ6 e-tron presents a compelling, albeit expensive, package, positioning itself as a strong contender in the performance EV SUV segment. The ... morereviewer highlights its blistering acceleration, achieving a 0-100 km/h time of 4.24 seconds, surpassing Audi's claim. The interior is lauded for its impressive technology, including a large infotainment screen, customizable ambient lighting, and a unique passenger display. Practicality is also a strong suit, with ample cargo space, a frunk, and a comfortable rear seating area. However, the SQ6 is not without its significant drawbacks. The most glaring omission is the lack of lane-centering assist, a feature expected at this price point, which the reviewer finds baffling. While the adaptive air suspension offers a comfortable ride and dynamic handling, the steering feel is noted as being on the lighter side compared to some rivals. Real-world range is estimated to be around 450 km, falling short of the WLTP claim. Despite its performance and tech, the high price and the missing lane-centering feature lead the reviewer to question its overall value proposition, suggesting the Quattro trim might offer a better balance for many buyers. less
2025 Leapmotor C10 Review: One of the Worst Chinese Cars I've Reviewed
The 2025 Leapmotor C10 is presented as a potentially strong contender in the mid-size electric SUV market, particularly due to its competitive pricing... more and attractive exterior design. However, the review highlights significant drawbacks that overshadow its positives. The vehicle suffers from extremely poor acceleration, especially in its default Eco mode, which severely limits power and makes it feel sluggish. While Sport mode improves performance, it's still slower than claimed and impacts range. Efficiency is also a concern, with real-world range falling short of expectations. The interior, while minimalist and spacious, is marred by a lack of physical controls for essential functions like climate, and the absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a major disappointment for a 2025 model. The reviewer also notes a bouncy and fidgety ride quality, and a driver attention warning system that is overly intrusive and difficult to disable. Despite its good practicality and decent handling for a Chinese EV, the C10's numerous software and implementation flaws lead to a strong recommendation against purchasing it. less
Our Most Unhinged China Car Trip Yet
This video chronicles an extensive trip through China, focusing on Chery's diverse range of vehicles and their sub-brands like Jaecoo, Omoda, and... more iCar. The reviewer, Jacob from CarSauce, experiences a variety of driving conditions, from city tours in a Buick to challenging off-road courses with models like the Jaecoo J7 and J8, and the Chery Tiggo 8. Particularly noteworthy are the dynamic off-road capabilities demonstrated by the Jaecoo J6, which the reviewer found exceptionally fun due to its rear-wheel-biased AWD system allowing for significant oversteer. The video also highlights Chery's technological advancements, including AI-driven features, advanced chassis systems enabling 'dancing' cars, and innovative interior configurations in models like the Exeed Sterra ET. While the reviewer praises the off-road prowess and technological integration, the focus remains on showcasing the breadth of Chery's offerings rather than a deep dive into specific model pros and cons or real-world range tests. less
2025 Geely EX5 Review: Rip BYD Atto 3?
The 2025 Geely EX5 enters the competitive electric SUV market with a focus on value, though its pricing was initially unclear, causing frustration for... more reviewers. The EX5 offers a handsome exterior design, though it shares a resemblance with other SUVs. Inside, the cabin is well-built with soft-touch materials, but the infotainment system lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, a significant drawback. However, the seats are a standout feature, offering exceptional heating, cooling, and massage functions, particularly for the passenger. The sound system is also praised as incredible. Practicality is decent, with a flexible boot space that can expand significantly. On the road, the EX5 is front-wheel drive only, which limits performance and traction when accelerating and cornering. The 0-100km/h time of 8.06 seconds is adequate but not class-leading. Real-world range is estimated at around 350km. While the ride comfort is good and the steering sharp, the overall driving experience is described as competent but uninspiring, especially when compared to rivals like the BYD Sealion 7. The reviewer suggests that if the leaked pricing is accurate, it makes the EX5 a strong contender against the BYD AT3 and Leapmotor C10, but the BYD Sealion 7 remains a superior option for those willing to stretch their budget. less
2025 BYD Sealion 7 Review: This Blew Me Away!
The BYD Sealion 7, particularly the Performance trim, has significantly impressed the reviewers, exceeding expectations set by its Chinese market coun... moreterpart. The vehicle boasts a powerful 390 kW AWD drivetrain, achieving a 0-100 km/h sprint in a rapid 4.33 seconds, beating the claimed 4.5 seconds. The interior is highlighted as a strong point, featuring premium soft-touch materials, excellent build quality, and a comfortable ride, especially with the suspension tuning specifically for the Australian market. While the steering is noted as somewhat vague and the driving dynamics are not track-focused, the overall driving experience is described as comfortable and surprisingly well-balanced for an electric SUV. The infotainment system, with its large, responsive screen and Android Auto integration, is also praised. The reviewer suggests the Premium trim offers better value, but the Performance model delivers exhilarating straight-line speed. The Sealion 7 is positioned as a compelling competitor in the mid-size EV SUV segment, offering strong value against rivals like the Tesla Model Y. less
2025 Skoda Enyaq RS Review: It's Really Good, But It Needs To Be...
The 2025 Skoda Enyaq RS arrives in Australia with a significant price tag, positioning it as a premium electric SUV. While it boasts striking European... more design, impressive practicality, and strong performance, its cost is a major consideration against competitors like the Tesla Model Y. The reviewer highlights the RS model's potent 250kW AWD system, achieving a 0-100km/h sprint in a brisk 5.4 seconds, and praises its refined handling and comfortable ride, particularly with the adaptive dampers. The interior is lauded for its quality, 'simply clever' features, and spaciousness, especially in the rear, thanks to the MEB platform. However, the reviewer notes that the Model Y Performance offers superior straight-line speed, and the Enyaq RS's price point is a significant hurdle. Despite this, the Enyaq RS is presented as a compelling alternative for those seeking a more conventional driving feel than a Tesla, with excellent packaging and improved battery technology.
Key Pros:
- Strong performance (0-100km/h in 5.4s)
- Excellent handling and ride comfort with adaptive dampers
- Spacious and practical interior with 'simply clever' features
- Improved battery technology and range (530km WLTP for RS)
- Premium European styling
Key Cons:
- High price point ($83,990 before on-road costs for RS)
- Outperformed in straight-line speed by Model Y Performance
- Coupe body style slightly impacts boot space less

China's Car Industry Has Finally Gone Too-Far
The reviewer explores a fascinating segment of the Chinese automotive market: ultra-compact, affordable electric vehicles, often referred to as '... moremini EVs'. These cars, exemplified by models like the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, JMEV Panda Mini EV, and Chery QQ Ice Cream, are highlighted for their incredibly low prices, often under $5,000 USD, making them cheaper than many optional extras on luxury cars. The reviewer praises their practicality for city commuting, surprisingly spacious interiors (especially with folded seats), and unique, often quirky, design variations, including special editions like the 'Duck Edition' and 'Game Boy Edition'. While acknowledging their limited top speeds (around 100 km/h) and modest range (typically 120-200 km), the reviewer concludes that for urban dwellers or those needing a second city car, these mini EVs offer exceptional value and practicality. The potential for these vehicles to be successful in markets like Australia, if import regulations allowed, is also discussed. less
2025 Deepal S07 Review: This Cheap Chinese Car Needs Work!
The 2025 Deepal S07 presents a compelling package with its attractive exterior design, premium interior materials, spacious cabin, and impressive pano... moreramic glass roof. The reviewer highlights the excellent range and the intuitive, highly customizable infotainment system, powered by a robust Qualcomm 8155 chip. However, the vehicle is significantly hampered by poorly calibrated safety systems, particularly the driver attention monitoring, which is described as "borderline dangerous" and intrusive, even failing when sunglasses are worn. While the car offers good practicality and a decent 0-100 km/h time of 7.52 seconds (beating the claimed 7.9s), these strengths are overshadowed by the safety system issues. Until these critical software flaws are addressed through updates, the reviewer cannot recommend the Deepal S07, suggesting it feels like a "half-baked potato" despite its many positive attributes and competitive $53,900 price point. less
2025 MG Cyberster Review: China's First Mass Produced Supercar?! RIP Tesla Roadster?!
The MG Cyberster presents a bold, albeit expensive, entry into the electric supercar arena, particularly for China's first mass-produced model of... more its kind. While its straight-line acceleration is undeniably ferocious, achieving 0-100km/h in 3.49 seconds (slightly off the claimed 3.2), the vehicle falters significantly in its handling and braking capabilities. The reviewer highlights a bouncy, unrefined suspension, disconnected steering, and critically underpowered brakes that struggle to manage the car's immense power and weight, making it feel unsafe at higher speeds. The scissor doors, while visually striking, are also noted for their impracticality and occasional glitches. Inside, the cabin boasts multiple screens and a premium feel, but is let down by dated features like wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a manual dimming mirror, which feel out of place for a $115,000 vehicle. Despite its striking looks and impressive power, the Cyberster's significant shortcomings in performance dynamics and a high price point prevent a wholehearted recommendation, suggesting it's more of a grand tourer than a true sports car. less
2025 VW ID Buzz Cargo Review: It's the Most Epic Work Van (With a Catch)
The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo is presented as a highly capable and surprisingly dynamic electric work van, particularly for the Australian market... more. The reviewer highlights its striking exterior design, reminiscent of the classic Combi, and praises its impressive acceleration and handling, especially for a vehicle of its type. The 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.03 seconds and its ability to corner with minimal body roll are standout features. The interior is noted for its comfort, extensive storage solutions (including the largest door bins the reviewer has seen), and a responsive 12.9-inch infotainment system. Practicality is further emphasized by its 3.9 cubic meter cargo capacity, capable of holding two Euro pallets, and a 774 kg payload. However, the "catch" mentioned in the title is its significant price tag, starting at $90,990 before on-road costs and easily escalating with optional extras. Another drawback is the real-world range, estimated to be around 400 km, which might be limiting for extensive road trips in Australia. The reviewer also points out the lack of under-seat or behind-seat storage in the front cabin as a minor inconvenience for a cargo van. less
We're Back in China! What Really Happens at BYD Influencer Events...
This vlog chronicles an influencer trip to China focused on BYD's most expensive and innovative products, including the Yangwang U8, U9, BYD Shar... morek, and Sealion 7. The hosts provide a behind-the-scenes look at the influencer event experience, detailing travel logistics, hotel stays, and local culture. While the primary focus is on BYD, the content is heavily interspersed with personal anecdotes, food reviews, and general travel observations, diluting the automotive focus.

The trip includes a detailed look at BYD's Blade battery manufacturing process, offering technical insights. Overall, the vlog offers a glimpse into BYD's advancements and the influencer travel experience, though it could benefit from a more concentrated automotive narrative. less
2025 Honda HR-V: It’s Way Better Than Before!
The 2025 Honda HR-V receives a significant facelift, transforming it into a substantially improved vehicle compared to its predecessor. The reviewer h... moreighlights a notable price reduction across the range, coupled with the introduction of a new hybrid variant, making it a more compelling proposition. Key improvements include a revised interior with a focus on user-friendly design and quality materials, enhanced practicality with Honda's signature 'Magic Seats' offering exceptional cargo flexibility, and a more refined driving experience. The hybrid powertrain, while not dramatically powerful, offers good torque and impressive fuel economy, averaging around 4.4-4.6 L/100km in urban settings. Positives include the quiet cabin due to improved sound deadening and acoustic glass, excellent ride comfort, and clever interior design touches like the directional air vents. Minor drawbacks are the lack of a wireless charger and the fact that it's a four-seater in Australia due to local regulations, making it unsuitable for those needing to regularly carry five passengers. Overall, the updated HR-V is praised for its practicality, premium feel, and value, making it a strong contender in the small SUV segment. less
2025 Toyota Camry Review: This Is What Happens When Toyota Tries…
The 2025 Toyota Camry receives a significant facelift, transforming it from a potentially 'boring' family sedan into a surprisingly appealin... moreg package. The reviewer praises the updated exterior styling, particularly the front-end design and tasteful upgrades. Inside, the interior is deemed 'epic,' with a significant improvement in technology, including a large 12.3-inch display and a high-quality six-speaker audio system. The cloth seats are highlighted for their comfort and support, especially in the Ascent Sport trim. While the car is now hybrid-only in Australia, its performance is deemed adequate, with a 0-100 km/h time of 7.29 seconds. Fuel economy is a strong point, achieving 4.8 L/100km, though it falls slightly short of some competitors like the Honda Accord. Handling is competent, with some body roll noted, but overall, the Camry is presented as a practical, reliable, and well-rounded vehicle, especially for fleet buyers and those seeking a blend-in-but-still-good option. less
2025 Jeep Avenger Review: Is America's Answer to Cheap Chinese EVs Enough?
The 2025 Jeep Avenger arrives in Australia aiming to challenge the dominance of Chinese EVs, but its value proposition is questionable, especially in ... morethe top-spec Summit trim. While the Avenger boasts attractive styling, impressive ground clearance for its size, and surprisingly good ride quality and handling, it falls short in several key areas. The interior, despite a nice design, is plagued by scratchy plastics and a wireless charger that struggled with an iPhone. Rear-seat space is compromised due to battery packaging, and the lack of a 360-degree camera on the top trim is a notable omission. Performance is adequate rather than exciting, and the real-world range is a modest 340km from its 52kWh battery, falling short of the claimed 397km. While it offers a unique, stylish alternative to more value-focused competitors like BYD, the Avenger's premium pricing and compromises make it a difficult recommendation for budget-conscious buyers. less
2025 MG ZS Hybrid+ Review: It’s Got a Pretty Big Issue…
The MG ZS Hybrid+ presents a compelling package with its attractive pricing, improved exterior and interior design, and practical space, making it a s... moretrong contender in the hybrid SUV market. The reviewer highlights its impressive fuel economy, particularly in urban driving, and praises the smooth operation of the hybrid system when conditions are ideal. However, a significant drawback is the powertrain's inconsistency, especially when the battery state of charge is low. This leads to a dramatic loss of acceleration, evidenced by a 0-100 km/h time of 24.59 seconds in one instance, which the reviewer deems potentially dangerous for overtaking maneuvers. While the car offers good handling and ride quality for its class, the power delivery issues and a lack of steering wheel adjustability detract from the driving experience. Ultimately, the reviewer struggles to recommend the ZS Hybrid+ until this fundamental powertrain flaw is addressed, suggesting alternatives like the Hyundai Kona Hybrid or Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. less
2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 Review: It's a Big Risk for Hyundai (RIP Tesla Model X?)
The Hyundai IONIQ 9 represents a significant and ambitious move for Hyundai, aiming to dominate the large electric SUV segment. The reviewer highlight... mores its impressive size, exceeding even the Kia EV9, and praises its aerodynamic design with a drag coefficient of 0.259. The interior is lauded for its spaciousness, natural feel, and use of sustainable materials, featuring a massive curved display with dual 12-inch screens and advanced connectivity. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample boot space even with all three rows in use, and generous legroom in all seating positions, making it feel akin to a minivan. The 110.3 kWh battery with 800v architecture supports rapid 350kW charging, achieving 10-80% in about 24 minutes, and offers a claimed WLTP range of 620 km for the long-range variant. The reviewer notes three available trims: a rear-motor-only base model, an all-wheel-drive version, and a performance variant, with potential for an 'N' version. While styling is subjective, the reviewer finds the parametric pixel design and elliptical interior curves appealing. Key takeaways are the exceptional packaging for a three-row SUV and the potential for Hyundai to push boundaries in the EV market. less
2025 BYD Shark 6 Mega Test: Finally! How Does It Actually Drive?!
The BYD Shark 6 makes a compelling debut in the Australian Ute market, offering a blend of electrification and rugged capability. The reviewer highlig... morehts its impressive on-road performance, achieving a 0-100 km/h time of 6.1 seconds despite off-road tires, and praises its comfortable ride quality, attributing it to the coil-sprung rear suspension that effectively handles rough terrain without bottoming out. The interior technology is deemed class-leading, featuring a large rotating display, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and premium comfort features like heated and ventilated seats. Off-road capabilities are also strong, with multiple terrain modes and excellent articulation, though the reviewer notes that payload and towing capacities are areas where it might trail some competitors. The vehicle's plug-in hybrid system offers a significant EV-only range and fast charging. Overall, the BYD Shark 6 is presented as a well-rounded, technologically advanced, and capable Ute with strong value, especially considering its local tuning and aftermarket support. less
2025 Chery Omoda E5 Review: Rip BYD Atto 3?!
The 2025 Chery Omoda E5 presents a compelling alternative to established EVs like the BYD Atto 3, offering a more traditional and premium interior fee... morel at a slightly lower price point. The reviewer highlights its surprisingly refined driving dynamics, noting a "Euro feel" thanks to its multi-link rear suspension and wider track, which contribute to better grip and a firmer, smoother ride compared to its predecessor and some competitors. The interior is praised for its quality materials, thoughtful layout with a fast wireless charger, and a good Sony sound system, although rear seat and boot space are noted as significant drawbacks compared to the BYD Atto 3. Performance is adequate, with the 0-100km/h sprint achieved in 8.14 seconds on a wet surface. Real-world range is estimated around 380km on the highway, aligning with expectations for its class. While not as practical as the Atto 3, the E5's more upscale interior and engaging drive make it a strong contender for those prioritizing comfort and a traditional cabin experience over maximum utility. less
Back in Korea! We See Crazy Unreleased Kia's!!
Jacob from CarSauce embarks on a journey to South Korea to preview the upcoming Kia EV3 and explore Kia's top-secret R&D facility. While unab... morele to disclose specific details due to NDAs, Jacob hints at revolutionary design language for future models, building on the 'Opposites United' philosophy seen in current EVs like the EV3, EV6, and EV9. He praises the EV3's comfortable ride, efficient performance (averaging 6.5 km/kWh), and innovative features like the customizable laptop stand and 30-inch widescreen display. The GT-Line trim is noted for its sportier aesthetic. Initial impressions of the EV3 are highly positive, with the reviewer impressed by its design, efficiency, and comfort, though acknowledging potential minor differences from the Australian-spec model. The trip also offered glimpses of various Hyundai and Kia models not available in Australia, including the Hyundai Casper and Kia K8. less
2025 GWM Haval Jolion Hybrid Review: Great Value, Some Issues...
The 2025 GWM Haval Jolion Hybrid Ultra presents a compelling value proposition, offering a hybrid SUV experience for under $40,000 drive-away, signifi... morecantly undercutting rivals like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid in price. The exterior styling is polarizing, with a love-hate relationship evident, particularly with the aggressive front and controversial rear design. Inside, the cabin impresses with soft-touch materials, a premium feel, and abundant technology, including a responsive infotainment system and digital cluster. However, the driving experience is marred by significant compromises. The most glaring issue is the drastically reduced boot space (255L) due to the new multi-link rear suspension and battery placement, which the reviewer deems a potential deal-breaker. Performance is adequate, with a combined 140kW, but the 0-100km/h sprint in wet conditions was a disappointing 10.19 seconds. Fuel economy, while decent at 6.7L/100km on a mixed cycle, can be inconsistent. Driver assistance systems are also noted as being poorly tuned for Australian conditions. Despite these drawbacks, the Jolion Hybrid Ultra offers a feature-rich package for the price, making it a strong contender for budget-conscious buyers who can overlook its significant packaging and refinement issues. less
I'm At Nurburgring! The Scariest 4 Days Of My Life
Matt from CarSauce embarks on a thrilling, albeit terrifying, journey to the Nürburgring with Hyundai to experience the i30N and i20N. The video highl... moreights the intense preparation, including an extensive sim racing setup, and the sheer challenge of driving on the legendary Nordschleife. While the i30N Fastback is praised for its performance, grip, and emotional driving experience, especially in N Custom mode, the reviewer notes its interior is not the most premium, with budget clearly allocated to performance. The i20N experience is described as more challenging, particularly with a demanding instructor, and the reviewer expresses a preference for the i30N over the i20N on track. The Genesis G70 taxi lap is also a standout, showcasing surprising performance. The overall experience is deemed epic and a dream come true, despite the inherent dangers and the reviewer's initial fear. less
2025 VW ID. Buzz Review: This Is Revolutionising Minivans!!
The 2025 VW ID. Buzz Pro is lauded as a revolutionary minivan, praised for its sharp pricing, gorgeous design, and an abundance of fun quirks and feat... moreures. The reviewer highlights the "sex spec" dual-tone paint and the "epic" interior, noting its impressive practicality despite the large battery. While the GTX variant offers higher performance with dual motors, the standard Pro model, driven in its long-wheelbase, rear-wheel-drive configuration, delivers a surprisingly punchy drivetrain and a comfortable ride, even on less-than-perfect roads. Real-world efficiency is estimated around 380 km, with a 86 kWh battery. The reviewer finds it difficult to fault the ID. Buzz, calling it an "absolute winner" that gets everything right, particularly appreciating its unique styling and well-executed interior, making it a compelling alternative to other electric minivans. less
2025 BYD Shark 6 Review: Trucks Are Forever Changed
The BYD Shark 6 is presented as a game-changer in the ute segment, with reviewers expressing significant enthusiasm for its performance and features. ... moreThe vehicle boasts impressive acceleration, achieving 0-100 km/h in under 6 seconds, and a sophisticated DMO (Dual Motor Off-road) platform that enables impressive on-road comfort and off-road capability. The interior is highlighted for its premium feel, quiet cabin, and comfortable, well-equipped seats. Key advantages include its plug-in hybrid system offering substantial EV-only range, V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) functionality with significant power output, and a robust chassis derived from a luxury SUV platform. However, a notable drawback is its reduced towing capacity of 2.5 tons compared to segment rivals, and a slightly smaller tub depth. Despite these points, the overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive, with the reviewers suggesting the Shark 6 could become a top seller in Australia due to its compelling package and expected competitive pricing. less
I'm In Korea!! Honestly, I'm In Shock...
The reviewer embarks on an extensive trip to South Korea, focusing on Hyundai and Kia's latest offerings. The Hyundai Inster EV, despite its ques... moretionable name, is highlighted as a promising, quiet, and affordable EV, expected to launch in Australia. The video also provides a detailed look at the Genesis brand, showcasing updated models like the GV70 facelift and the luxurious G90 Black Edition, emphasizing their premium interiors and design. A significant portion is dedicated to the Busan Motor Show, where the Kia Tasman ute and the EV3 are unveiled. The Tasman is presented as a direct competitor to the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux, while the EV3 is positioned against the Tesla Model Y. The reviewer expresses excitement for these new models entering the Australian market, noting the value proposition of Genesis products and the potential of the Inster and Tasman. less
