Guys, good day. I'm on my way to shoot the DEPAL S09. I'm being bombarded with requests to test drive this car. So, as usual, sit back and relax. Tea, gingerbread. The designer probably comes up to the boss and says, "Why should we reinvent the wheel? Let's just lick the tracks." And the boss says, "Then I'll pay you less and save on it." Well, that's probably where we parted ways. I understand why I'm being asked to review this car. The interior trim here is shocking, simply shocking for this price. It's richer here than in the BMW 7. I don't yet understand how they got it for this money, but we'll figure it out now.

So, there's massage, ventilation, eight-point heating. In the front on the second row, and only heating on the third. Napa leather is everywhere. This is the level of Lisyanovskaya leather. And you know what's most surprising? Lisyan only in the center. Seats, cool material. On the sides, such rubber already begins, and here everything is completely and the top, and the backs, and the backs behind. Well, here it is already like on the dashboard, cheaper. This is already a nightmare, but also smooth, also attacked. But the seats So, and now our task is to understand, and what did they save on, because, as you and I know, there are no miracles. Corporate extra 160 kg somewhere. Iron, phosphate. Well, it is clear, yes. Here, here, these 160 kg.

This battery is cheaper, it is heavier than lithium. So, we figured it out here. Four fingers in front of the knee, 108 cm tall. The seat cushion is average. There is a case covered with fabric. The bottom is also covered with a very smooth material. This is rough plastic, not smooth here on the column. So, here below we have covered with the same cool material as above. Yes, there are no questions here. Inside there is bare plastic, double glass, either plastic, or Yes, it is plastic. Well, it feels very close to aluminum, if not for the sound. 20 speakers, two ports for wireless, but only one place has airflow and 50 W charging. This part, well, looks very good, natural. You can't even tell if it's wood or not, but it's plastic. Look, they saved on the screens. Although the shell is Harmony OS, Huawei's, the picture quality itself is on the level of BD machines, that is, slightly better than average. But the processor itself is slower than BD. BD, yes, does not have the best screens in terms of picture, but they fly. Here it slows down a little. That is, these are not screens at the level of Fox, Huawei ATA and similar machines. This is cheaper. But the shell is Harmony S. Thank you. Everything is clear. There is English, as I understand it.

Come on. There should be, right? There is English. Well, it hangs up a bit here. Look how you can scroll through two screens at once. And they complement each other. Look, it's clear here. Good. In the picture. So, well, it's clear here. They saved money here, they saved on the battery. Let's move on. The materials, as I said, are just mind-blowing. Microfiber on top. Here, this smooth NAPA cushion. Here, rough plastic, NAPA steering wheel. Everything is very nice, very nice. There are live buttons, wheels. It doesn't give off any cheapness in this regard. Everything works nicely. We have a refrigerator here. I'll show it a little later. It slides back. Everything is covered here too. Well, come on. Well, the screens fit well. There was a creak here, there was a little here. Well, well assembled. The Alcantara here is not the best, a little below average in terms of feel. There is a camera that closes and opens, there are lights.

A live button for the rear panoramic curtain, and this one is operated manually. This is our top-of-the-line configuration. There is a projector on the windshield, you can open a map, but by eye it is a little cheaper than in the same Lee. And Huawei's picture is a little harsh on the eyes. Not bad. No questions for this money. No questions for this money. I'm interested in the mechanisms. No questions. Here, too, they covered it with the same smooth material, leatherette for now, and here. Steering wheel adjustment for height and reach on the tablet with this wheel. So, look what happens to the central end. We know that the refrigerator is in the armrest, it is not here, but we can move it back. Why didn't you go? I pressed it. Do you have to hold it down and hold it? So, look, this story goes. And a refrigerator has already appeared for the rear passenger, if necessary. And in the armrest I have live buttons here. And what do we do with these live buttons? Massage, ventilation, heating. And why did you leave? Well, let's see. He left. She went inside to me. So, well, okay. This is great, I'm comfortable. And the same thing on the left. And the seat moves a little inward, as we understood. I'm closer to the passenger on the left now. Yu is the same as in the restom li.

Look, on paper it's 3k, but apparently 3K can be different. Uli is also 3K, but the screen is juicier there. This is not bad. Denz level N9. Unfortunately, I can't play you a song because of copyright, but I and I don't understand music very well. My wife is filming with me today, she knows her stuff, she said the sound here is worse than it was in our place. Uh, but worse than in Lee. I'm sitting the way I like. Measuring the third row. Let's go to the second now, yeah, so as not to be impudent. Okay. Let's go to the third. Here I have a little less than a fist. I would go far in this row. I can adjust the backrest. Right now I had it lowered as much as possible. I would go long distances like this, for example. Here I have plastic, a piece of Alcantara. Everything is good here, everything is soft, only here there is plastic. There is heating, there is a charging port, USB. There is no table in the back left, only here there is room for a pen. A 40 kWh battery is normal for this money. I can do it here, obviously. Unfortunately, I cannot adjust the suspension up or down, although there is air here. Look, there is another niche. Nice wheels 265x45 R21. Michelin gave there is a running board, you see, dirty. Disc brakes, ventilated all around. The same wheels in the back. Yes, 265. The same. No Davochik. As for the suspension, two levers in the front, multi-link in the back and air. Look, here under the dashboard is also like wood. Plastic. It looks very cool, by the way. Neat. So, in general, I tested it. And here's what I will say. Specifically, for 42,000 dollars, Chaan made a pretty interesting car.

Those are its main competitors. Of course, this is not the level of Denza N9, le 9, Lin 9.0 and not Hova M8, which I have already tested. By the way, we will soon upload it to the channel. Why not? No miracles happen. Pal goes cheaper than them. Specifically, in comparison with the LI, it is not as soft, but it is worse to steer and the steering wheel is less informative. In comparison with the Denza N9, it is impossible to compare at all. There is a completely different level of suspension tuning and, moreover, a different power plant. Friends, do not take into account that there is a double wishbone plus air. Air, of course, is good, it allows you to adjust the ground clearance, but the most important thing is how to set it all up. For example, the new Huawei M7 on MacPherson with adaptive armor rides more interestingly. BYD TAN L. Double wishbone without air rides even more interestingly. The teams that tuned these cars are simply of a different level and ask for different money for their work. And that is why the price is different. This PAL was tuned approximately like the LH 900. That is, both there and here they saved in this regard. But, but why is the LHKO not its competitor? There the ICE is more powerful, there are more electric motors, more overall power and acceleration. It, like the Denza, spins, turns on the spot, the rear wheels steer, the seats in the second row turn around. In general, all those cars are more expensive for a reason. It's clear, right? Now who are its real competitors? And these are the cars that cost about the same as it. Huawei M7 drives better, but is a little poorer inside, and there is less space in the third row. They distributed the car's budget differently there. BD TANL L is the same.

It drives better, has less equipment inside, and there is less space in the third row. By the way, tomorrow they promise a presentation of a new crossover from Xiaomi. It will be sold for about the same price, but it is smaller in size. Let's move on. In general, I do not want to say that the suspension is set up very poorly here. As in the Linco 900, this is just Toyota level. If you drive calmly, it is quite comfortable. If you push it, it will shake. Plus the steering wheel is empty. The noise insulation is average, as if by ear, it seems to be a little worse than in Lee. Now we will measure. The seats are exactly the same as in Lee. Lacks lateral support. In Huawei M7, TAN L. Acceleration 5.9 to 100. The slowest among competitors. Oh, by the way, it's like that Impreza that I showed you. Of course, when you have 4 to 100, it is both safer and more pleasant, but 5.9 is also normal for such a large family car. In general, Chan is probably doing everything right. They are looking for a free niche in this segment. That is, those people who, at the price of BVD TAN L, Huawei M7, need a larger car with more equipment inside, rich interior trim. At the same time, Toyota's steering with the ability to adjust the clearance is enough for them. Then the autopilot here is from Huawei. This is a bonus. This is a bonus for this car. But here, as with the 3K screen, Huawei's autopilot can also be different. Let me give you an example. Huawei M8, which is almost like 9 inside and with the same power plant, for some reason costs $15,000 less. One of the reasons is that it has weaker lidars, and this is of the utmost importance. Here, I think, lidars are even cheaper than already. Have any of you seen what a driverless taxi looks like? They have a huge washer of lidars on the roof. No one would buy this in a regular car, since it spoils the design.

And it is there precisely for the high accuracy of the autopilot. Further. 40 kWh battery, 210 km according to CLTC. In reality, in the city in summer-20%, in cold winter -50. Real fuel consumption will also be about 9 liters in summer and 13 in cold winter. That's how it is. Okay, that's all. Write your opinion. If you liked it, you know what to do. I say goodbye to you. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Until next time. Yeah.
