Guys, good day. 3 years ago, when I created the channel and decided to share my opinion, I could not even imagine that there would be such fierce competition on the main car market of the planet. Such car brands as Skoda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Renault, Peugeot simply disappeared from this market and lost about 30% of their global income. Such well-known car brands as Ford, Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Citroën have already started to close their dealerships and are about to go bankrupt. Such luxury car brands as Aqua, Infinity have also closed.

They are of no interest to anyone here anymore. Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche are losing sales every month and are making huge discounts. For example, the BMW3 330 was sold for 55,000 dollars 3 years ago. Today, the Chinese are given away for 27 through the bank. The Passat cost 35,000 dollars, now it costs 17. The Camry Accord, various crossovers, everything has collapsed in prices. Sales of Chinese auto brands are only growing every month. However, they are also suffering and are forced to sell their cars cheaper, because brands like BYD are dumping everyone and organizing a price war. 3 years ago, the Chinese auto giant Donfeng opened a subsidiary company Voyah and rolled out its first crossover, the free model. At that time, its evil design, diverging screens, fast acceleration, air suspension amazed people from the CIS countries, and it had quite good export sales. But the Chinese did not like its previous evil face. In addition, other Chinese auto brands began to give more for its price. Then they tried to sell the top electric version for 55,000 dollars, and the hybrid for 50. This time they decided to give more car for less money. Plus they changed the design outside and inside. Sit back, let's take a look. We changed the location, ran into the shade. The heat is just insane. My camera turned off because of the heat. Okay, let's continue here. Look what we have. 476 horses, a little less than before. 4.9 acceleration to 100.

You see, they looked at how Huawei sells lxiang. Sometimes in the south of China I sometimes have the feeling that I'm in some kind of, especially when summer comes, that I'm in some kind of jungle, I live near the Green Mountain, the toads are cawing, it's impossible to even open the window, crickets. You start climbing the mountains, on every corner there is a sign: "Beware of snakes." In general, everything wakes up here in the summer and the snakes too. So, they became slower. They looked at how Huawei sells, they looked at how lxiang sells, they realized that around 5 seconds for a family crossover is absolutely enough for the Chinese. They decided to give Huawei an autopilot. That's what sells today, sells very well and is in great demand, they went in this direction. This is the right decision, I think. This should increase sales. That is, now they have Huawei, the entire system inside, and Huawei autopilot, in my opinion, and Huawei projector. I'll clarify this point. 4.9 to 100 on single-chamber pneumatic suspension both in the front and in the back. Double wishbone in the front, multi-link in the back. Gas-struts, silent. We know that the internal combustion engine is 1.5, but we don't know how many horses. Well, most likely, it will be just the same as lxiang. After the official presentation, we will know for sure. And for the maximum configuration, which I indicated, they promise to ask 260,000 or less. That's what they told me, 260 or less.

Roof rails are already in the base. Here appeared such a small screen. Let's call it a starry sky, for example. The general design of the muzzle, as you can see, was changed, the large radiator grille was removed. For the Chinese today it already looks like ancient naphthol, so everyone is drawn to closed muzzles. A pure electric train, so that it looks like a purely electric car. The handles remained the same, as far as I remember. Previously, there was no closer, now there is. And in the back and in the back. The interior trim of the Voyah used to lag behind competitors for the same price. This time they upgraded it. Now it is the level of Zeekr, Avatr, Huawei R7, for example, Huawei, not M9. Very good for this price. This is a piece of Alcantara. Here, too, everything was covered. There is even a piece with imitation wood. The only thing is that it is purple. I don't like how it looks. If it were white, the wood was dark, the wood-like plastic would be more interesting. Double glazing, 22 speakers. The dashboard design was completely changed. That whole thing with the stretchable screens was removed. It seems to me that it looks nicer than it was. Although the screens gave a bit of a wow effect, in practice, as it turned out, they are not very usable. There is Alcantara here. There is leatherette here, the same as on the door panels. Better quality than it was. The only thing is that the purple color is not my thing at all. I would definitely take a different color, and then it would look more interesting. 108 cm in front of the knee is a fist.

A person taller than me can sit here too. No questions. The seat cushion is long, it is not adjustable. Massage, ventilation, heating in the front. Ventilation and heating in the back. Yes, I like this design more than the previous one. Here, look, there's also a piece of plastic under the tree, which goes to the door cards. Here I have a camera one. No, it monitors the autopilot. Here is a camera in the cabin. Look what they did. They repeated Xiaomi. And here on the left and right there is a mount for some gadgets. Ah, scoundrels. Well done, as scoundrels. And why not? Look at this idiocy. They brought me a car from another city for a test. Now I'll deflate it and then we'll test it. So, look, to turn on this lever, the so-called sport plus among the people, it's called differently here, you need to press both petals at the same time. The steering wheel fills up more, it becomes a little sharper than in a regular sport. I don't like the way it roars. Oh, I get it, I have to shift with the petals. Well, yes, it becomes faster. Look, I'm driving in second. If I turn on first, it will start to roar louder, because, like, the revs are higher. In general, they created a kind of simulator for adults to play with for children. I'll tell you later how it works in all other modes. Let's check for creaking. Something was gone here. Well, there's a stone here. Well, somewhere a little, but I'd give it a four. There's a refrigerator here. Cool. Two ports for wireless charging with a blower. The material looks like microfiber. There's some kind of secret place here. Two cup holders, air with your hands, blowing force like this with your fingers. That's how we flip through it. This is an Hauwei screen.

There are different chips. Some people have it faster. The best fast screen I've seen is from Huawei Maextro. The picture is the same as in everyone else. Excellent picture. Top in general. In terms of speed, it may be, well, not the fastest. Maextro works faster. Well, not bad, no questions asked. You know everything about this screen. English language. I want to check the camera. So-so. The camera is so-so. So-so. This screen also has a great picture. The voice assistant is also Huawei. They covered it with fabric, it's big. By the way, what's here? There's a metal hook here. There's none on my side. And they covered it here too. Cool, huh? And below, too. Well, there's almost no bare plastic in the door panels inside. And here and there you can hardly see it and you'll never touch it. Somehow I can't even believe it. They had to save somewhere. Well, we see that they saved on the ceiling, they gave it a regular rag, like in Li. There's a curtain that covers it completely. Look, I sat down to my height, my fist in front of my knee. I go back. And I get almost three fists. This is a big car. a fist above my head. A very large range of backrest adjustment. This is sad. And what's here? Yeah, they covered it here too, look. Cool. But here there's bare plastic.

And here, that is, under my left elbow, it is also covered. The materials have become very good. There is practically no head plastic, only here. And where, well, and the thresholds, and there under the central console. So, here there is USB, USBC, a small screen, seat and climate control adjustment. And look, well, the same material as in the seat. Is it stuck to the leather too? No, it is just so dense. Look, there is no port on the left, but on the right there is a port where we insert the screen. Huawei is also a screen. We buy it in the store either Voya or Huawei and insert it. It will be connected to the system. We have a large trunk here, there are hooks, it is possible to lower the suspension, there is a 220 outlet, there is a cigarette lighter. But there is no button to fold the seats. Here we fold them completely. Inside, you can only adjust. If I turn over the headrest, then I fit completely. My head is on the headrest. If I want to lie lower, then my legs stick out. I don't fit. Our wheels are 20th. The support is painted red 255x45. The same wheels in the back. In the back left is a 46 kWh battery. These are NMC kickbacks. So, who are its main competitors and how does it drive in comparison with them? The L6 in the top will be more expensive by 3,000 dollars, and will not have air. You will not be able to adjust the clearance there. And here the minimum is 11 cm, maximum 21. The battery of the Li 6 is less than 36 kWh. In Sport Plus mode, the howl will literally be a little sharper and denser. Only the Li 6 will drive more pleasantly on uneven surfaces. Only a little quieter in terms of noise insulation. It has a massage in the back. In general, the situation is such that all auto brands that have large corporations behind them give more today than the Foxes.

Next is the BYD TAN L hybrid. The top is also a bit more expensive and without air suspension. It rides more pleasantly on uneven surfaces, the noise insulation is the same. The interior trim is more expensive, accelerates much faster. There is a copter on the roof and there are three rows of seats. There are also some leapmotors that I have not been following lately, but they are steadily growing in sales. I should look into them. In my opinion, there are only front-wheel drive versions. Further, Huawei M7 is decently more expensive. Linko 09, also 5 m. The same price tag, three rows of seats, the same acceleration. The internal combustion engine generator is much more powerful, but the autopilots and screens are worse. Otherwise, they are approximately similar cars. Oh, the new BMW X3, by the way, which has become larger, and in China there is also a long version, after big discounts it just falls into this price segment. But the MacPherson strut has a lot of bare plastic inside, the acceleration is weaker and it is an internal combustion engine with delays. The autopilot is weaker, the multimedia is weaker. There is no battery, which means no tent, no music, nothing outside the city. The noise insulation is about the same. The suspension of the long version is not particularly sharply tuned. It will be a little tighter in comfort than the Voyah. At high speed, it will most likely hold better than the Voyah. What is the fuel consumption here? Real eight in summer, 11-12 in winter. The recuperation is weak here. I don’t like this, but there are no complaints about the brakes. It is, in principle, comfortable to sit. You can buy a screen for 1,000 bucks on the backrest on the right. And there are no questions in the back. Here I would definitely add noise to the arches, because noise insulation can be different. Sometimes I test two cars in one place, the device shows almost the same numbers, but they make different noise. It happens that it is not bad on top, but it is noisy below, you can hear the asphalt. As for me, it should be quiet below, so that I can hear less of both the asphalt and how the suspension works. And here it is noisier from below. The same BYD TANL, on the contrary, has a better noise insulation of the floor. The L6 has some kind of even balance. The X3 is also equal. In general, here you need to noise the arches. Only you will make both the back and the front equally weight. Okay, that's it, friends, we'll finish here. We were given the car before the official presentation, so we'll soon know the exact price. Thank you all for your attention. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
