Hey Bjørn, Tesla just installed the 1st superchargers in Africa in Morocco. 1 Supercharger in Tangier and 1 in Casablanca. Each supercharger has 4 stalls (150 kW). Maybe someday you'll visit us.
@@peterfireflylund I would rather have it compared with cars in the same price range, maybe ID.3 or Dacia Spring. What are the advantages and downsides as compared to those.
I am just curious if you are concerned about the 3 star safety rating? What other cars did you look at? Why did you choose this over other options? I mean the price in Germany is around 38,000 euros before incentives so there are other options near that price...maybe it was different six months ago.
Hey Tesla, why can't we see the GOM and the SOC at the same time. There is enough space on the screen. Why is it possible for a less expensive car? Why can't we close the frunk without reading the manual like in this chinese car?
ID.4 with big battery (77 kWh, 518 km WLTP) actually starts at €35,345 + shipping (about 800€?) in Germany - after Rebates and Incentives (BAFA). Under same conditions, Aiways U5 (63 kWh, 400 km WLTP) starts at €29,993. ID.4 small battery (52 kWh, 345 km WLTP) starts at 27,845€, so U5 is somewhere in between price- aswell as range-wise.

I liked the blind spot warning on the side of the mirror visible in the last few seconds of the video. Not had that in any of my cars. Interesting to see this car which we’ve not yet seen in UK either.
This is just the start. Chinese EV makers have had the largest auto market in the world and a supportive govt enabling them to develop economies of scale where they can now enter western markets at or close to price parity with ICE. BYD's Blade battery is down to $95/kwh. It'll be interesting to see the effect on the western legacy makers who are nowhere near that point.

I was test driving the U5 twice but at the end we decided for the Skoda iV60 as it was - after dealer incentives, etc. - only 1800 Euros more expensive than the U5. I do not trust the independent maintenance at ATU too much. Plus the safety features are way better in the iV60. Plus some other strange software "features" in the U5 and the missing navigation. But overall we liked the car a lot and the offered space is enornmous.
@@Pathyilmathai that was the restricted charging option Skoada has scrapped (in Germany at least); today you get the full 110 or 125 kW with the small or big battery respectively at no extra cost. And yes, it was a stupid restriction. Full DC speed was an option for €650 I think.
I only had one time I had my car at ATU - the suspension had a hit and was measured to find if it can be adjusted or must be replaced. They failed, claiming it wasn't to be repaired. Would have cost a new suspension strut at around 2.000€ (? long time ago, maybe it was stil Deutsche Mark). Big fail. Told my local mechanic, he looked at the numbers and he saw, they confused degrees/minutes/seconds with decimal floating point 🤦He sent me to a better skilled workshop, which got the numbers right, corrected the adjustemnt and off I went for something like €50 instead.
In China we say that this AIWAYS (AI -> Chinese -> Love) is just a copy of a NIO. But quality is totally different. An NIO ES6 costs 48,000 euros (before deducting premiums and rebates). If the battery is rented and not purchased, the ES6 costs about 31,800 euros.
*thoughts:* look at this car again in 3 or 4 years. or at 100.000-150.000 km. it would be interesting to see. and don't get me wrong. i'm not prejudicing. 3 stars in ncap is not acceptable. yes...the door closing sound is like from a mercedes. an a-class from 2000. braking from 100-0 kph = 36,5 m. other similar cars do it in 3 m less. maximum allowed weight is already exceeded with 5 adults. so the luggage has to stay at home. that the company a.t.u (at least in germany) is responsible for maintenance and service, is questionable. and the range of 290 km is realistic, if you don't want to become a traffic obstacle. but 290 km is below average.
In Germany the Regular price is similar, but we have the "Umweltbonus" so that we actually have to pay around 9500€ less for electric cars. In case of the U5 (Premium) it was 32000€ last year, this year it is something around 33000€.
I have to say, I'm a little hyped about the car. Actually everything you need for a very good price. Would be cool to see more videos about the Aiways U5.
1. There is a usb port at the back, under the aircon outlet. 2. I make 330 kilometers easily, without trying to drive slowly, and with the air-condition on...
Yes, but that was only due to some timing problems with the side airbags. Something that they have probably corrected immediately after the Euro NCAP test. It otherwise scored nicely in many areas.
Damn, that's a good price! Looking forward to the first Chinese maker to make a large estate/wagon to take market from the large V70/Passat market. Give it 250km range with an aerodynamic efficiency and FAST charging and price it competitively like this and they will clean up!
Very nice! It seems only Chinese EVs and Tesla are the best value! I prefer to be spoiled by Tesla safety, features, and reliability, but I'm impressed with the practicality of this car for its price! It should be selling better.
This price range starts to sound reasonable, with the government supplement it would cost about the same as a no-frills speced Skoda Octavia - we need them in Poland NOW!
He gave the wrong price, look it up. He gave the price of the base model with incentives = 31K, this is the premium model without incentives this car is 49K.
@@jbredereck In the Netherlands it is 39K for the base model. It might be more expensive in our country. It could explain why only 10 have been sold between April - September (haven't got the August numbers yet)
In the last few seconds of the video, I saw and like the blind spot warning on the side of the mirror. You asked why it's not popular? The car's owner stated that it is sold in the Netherlands and Germany.
The only slight downside to the Chinese EVs seems to be the limited charging speed - this one only around 90kW max. In comparison to the European (and American) competition that's rather low. If they were able to up that a little bit, it would be a no-brainer (which is perhaps already is in most use cases)...
@@TheJumper85 Is that right? Have you got a video or something corroborating this? Keep in mind that the ID4/Enyaq/Q4 e-tron will have an updated peak speed and curve pretty soon.
@@davidsommen1324 Here you can see the loading Curve from the U5: czcams.com/video/MEkC92vIA9M/video.html But then again, the U5 has a smaller Battery than the ID4 with its 77kWh, but timewise there is not much difference to load the car and i also think that there is potential to increase the loadingspeed of the U5 (in NL i have seen pictures of people who loaded with over 100kw, the highest speed i had was 94kW)
The car only has 1 phase charging, which is max 3.7kW on home 11kW chargers (in Denmark at least). Having a ~60kWh battery, that means 80% charge is roughly 13 hours... However the 200hp version has recently gotten tow hitch added. And it can be retrofitted to existing 200hp cars. So this is very nice indeed. The one thing that is holding me back (maybe more?) is the 1 phase charging on AC... it's simply not enough with that large a battery. I currently have a ioniq classic, which also has 1 phase charging, and i wouldn't get a car with a larger battery with 1 phase charging.
If you wish to spend money to charge faster, you can get phase combiner from 2 to 1 phase and get 32A charging. Few people have done this in Denmark I know it makes the car more expensive with purchase of extra hardware, but i though I'd share that it's an option
@@96Lauriz true, Aiways also suggested this. But if i'm at a shoppingcenter and plug the car in, do the shopping (1hour?) and come back, i'll only get 5%? more on the battery. So my point is, that i'd almost never "win" by AC charging, unless the car is going to camp there a very long time. Also, coming home in the evening with 10% is not really an option either, if i need 100km+ of range the next morning. Anyways, that just how i see it :)
It has 204hp with 32A or combining 2 fases get the charging down to 9,5h 0-100%. Who comes home with 0%? I get 100% every day. Besides very few people come home 24:00 and leave 06:00 every day. Most cars are parked at home at least 12 hours everyday.
In the other video the owner of the car said this is sold in Netherlands and Germany. You asked why it's not popular, I've never heard of this brand in the Netherlands and I do follow EV news.. so I'm not sure where that's going wrong..
Yes, i also think, that one of the big problems of Aiways that they don't do any ads. This might have worked for Tesla but not for an Chinese Brand in an Market where there are quite a lot competetors. In Germany it is the same, outside of the EV-Bubble no one has ever heard of Aiways.
@@TheJumper85 aiways is struggling financially, with sales in its hyper competitive home market doing poorly, so there is simply no money left for a pricey pr campaign.
Perhaps because these will appeal to drivers of the largest most polluting fossil cars and will therefore still be a big improvement. Even so, I take your point. 😊
For me, with a height of 180cm, the front seats were so bad I could not imagine to buy it. The headrest is so much pushing my head and shoulders forward. It felt impossible to sit there for long. What do you think of that? Don't you have this problem? Was something wrong with our test car? The space in the back - for family and luggage - was so wonderful!
I never had this problem (i'm 190cm), but my wife had also this Problem and we solved it by turning around the headrest, since then my wife has no problem.
Any updates on the car. I have spoken with one of the agents sellers in denmark, and they have upgraded the new batch of cars to include 3fase chargning (11kw) and there is a option to get a trailer hook on the car (upto 1500kg).. The NCAP is not great but is it not bad, many people are swapping 10-15year old cars for a new one. looking forward to see if there is anything else done with the hardware/software/fastchargningcurve ect.
I love that it's a car build around CarPlay/Android Auto. I don't need one of these terrible car navigation systems, pretty much all of them suck. Anyway, these cars from China are just the beginning. Will be interesting to see how this evolves
The only downside for me is the extremely annoying whine from the motor and the fact that it only charges 3.7 kw AC. It just got a clearance for a tow capacity of 1500 kg for the 2021 model 204 hp version, which can be fitted to all sold ones too, so that's good.
@@StormKleist because 3,7kw because it is only 1 fased charger. Though it is a 1 fase 32A so it can go up to 7,1kw (officially 6,6 but I got it up to 7,1-74kw evweytime on 22kw charger.).
Depends if you take configuration into account. Base price and final price vary hugely. And while you can get a vw id4, if you want similar spec then the price ramps up
Schade dass unsere Treffen in Norwegen nicht klappte, als ich mit dem U5 zum Nordkapp gefahren bin 😉 aber das Auto wäre für ein Review mit Dachzelt auch zu voll gewesen.
This owner does really know his car? Bjørns says there isn't an USB in the back and the owner doesn't say a thing... it does have have a USB. Bjørn says it can't do more than 280km. Well it kan do 350km on a fuld charge on a normal road.
Well, in my defense: I usually don't ride in the back seat of my own car and didn't notice the USB port until now. On German Autobahn speeds you won't drive it 280 km. But yes, you're right on country roads with 80 km/h you can get 350 km of range.
@@electricfelix In winter the old Ioniq can’t make that either. But 200 km can be done even in winter. I have the car since january and made a couple of winter road trips with it.
Looks a great a car with just the right power to make an excellent ride in a very god confort and who as a beautiful dash board which combines classic style with modern techniques without those stupid big screens all over.

It charges AC 6.6 kwH, and DC at 90+ kvH So, we're talking 10 hours charging 0-100% at home, and about 45 minutes at fast DC charges. This is not slow. At all.

@@MrBlume71 vi får den først på fredag, så har kun haft en prøvetur i den, men det var en meget positiv overraskelse, den køre fantastisk godt :)
@@skodbolle har også prøvet den, og ja køre rigtig godt, pøj pøj med den :-)
@@MrBlume71 mange tak 😁👍
Thanks for this video, but i missed some information about speed of charging
Is the range really That bad compared to what the display says?
there is an USB outlet in the center console for the rear
Eiweiss - means proteine in German. Or better egg white.
Will this be sold in Norway?
How does i compare to the Kia E-Soul?
This price range starts to sound reasonable, with the government supplement it would cost about the same as a no-frills speced Skoda Octavia - we need them in Poland NOW!
He gave the wrong price, look it up. He gave the price of the base model with incentives = 31K, this is the premium model without incentives this car is 49K.
@@reginald7214 He also did not give the correct price he drove. He gave the price from the base model and he is driving the premium version.
@@reginald7214 Price is not an opinion it is a fact.
@@buddy1155 It's my car and I can assure you, I paid 31k for the premium version after incentives.
@@jbredereck In the Netherlands it is 39K for the base model. It might be more expensive in our country. It could explain why only 10 have been sold between April - September (haven't got the August numbers yet)
you can see the USB in the rear at 3:37
In the last few seconds of the video, I saw and like the blind spot warning on the side of the mirror. You asked why it's not popular? The car's owner stated that it is sold in the Netherlands and Germany.
You can buy two of these cars for the same price as one Model Y in Sweden... :D
The only slight downside to the Chinese EVs seems to be the limited charging speed - this one only around 90kW max. In comparison to the European (and American) competition that's rather low. If they were able to up that a little bit, it would be a no-brainer (which is perhaps already is in most use cases)...
While you are right concerning the peak loading speed, the loading speed from 10-80% is the same as for the ID4 or the Enyaq.
It wasn't that long ago when the Enyaq came with 50 kW maximum charging speed as standard (that has since been updated to 120 kW)
@@TheJumper85 Is that right? Have you got a video or something corroborating this? Keep in mind that the ID4/Enyaq/Q4 e-tron will have an updated peak speed and curve pretty soon.
@@davidsommen1324 Here you can see the loading Curve from the U5:
czcams.com/video/MEkC92vIA9M/video.html
But then again, the U5 has a smaller Battery than the ID4 with its 77kWh, but timewise there is not much difference to load the car and i also think that there is potential to increase the loadingspeed of the U5 (in NL i have seen pictures of people who loaded with over 100kw, the highest speed i had was 94kW)
This is my hometown, Ettlingen! :)
Aiways is good for highway! 😁
It's 3 usb, the last is with the sunroof
Great video like always. The only downside of the car are the safety rating and range.
I am sure the next model will it sorted.
The car only has 1 phase charging, which is max 3.7kW on home 11kW chargers (in Denmark at least). Having a ~60kWh battery, that means 80% charge is roughly 13 hours...
However the 200hp version has recently gotten tow hitch added. And it can be retrofitted to existing 200hp cars. So this is very nice indeed.
The one thing that is holding me back (maybe more?) is the 1 phase charging on AC... it's simply not enough with that large a battery.
I currently have a ioniq classic, which also has 1 phase charging, and i wouldn't get a car with a larger battery with 1 phase charging.
If you wish to spend money to charge faster, you can get phase combiner from 2 to 1 phase and get 32A charging. Few people have done this in Denmark
I know it makes the car more expensive with purchase of extra hardware, but i though I'd share that it's an option
@@96Lauriz true, Aiways also suggested this. But if i'm at a shoppingcenter and plug the car in, do the shopping (1hour?) and come back, i'll only get 5%? more on the battery. So my point is, that i'd almost never "win" by AC charging, unless the car is going to camp there a very long time.
Also, coming home in the evening with 10% is not really an option either, if i need 100km+ of range the next morning.
Anyways, that just how i see it :)
@@jimmiwesterberg886 agree, it creates unnecessary problems
It has 204hp with 32A or combining 2 fases get the charging down to 9,5h 0-100%. Who comes home with 0%? I get 100% every day. Besides very few people come home 24:00 and leave 06:00 every day. Most cars are parked at home at least 12 hours everyday.
@@TheSanien what has 204hp to do with charging time?
In the other video the owner of the car said this is sold in Netherlands and Germany. You asked why it's not popular, I've never heard of this brand in the Netherlands and I do follow EV news.. so I'm not sure where that's going wrong..
Yes, i also think, that one of the big problems of Aiways that they don't do any ads. This might have worked for Tesla but not for an Chinese Brand in an Market where there are quite a lot competetors. In Germany it is the same, outside of the EV-Bubble no one has ever heard of Aiways.
@@TheJumper85 aiways is struggling financially, with sales in its hyper competitive home market doing poorly, so there is simply no money left for a pricey pr campaign.
I love how every chinese cars we see here have what seems to be amazingly comfy front seats!
looks great for that price i want one 🙂
What is that light next to the car side mirror? Because sometimes it turned on.. in 20:31
Blind spot warning like most modern cars nowadays.
I do not understand SUVs when we are trying to get most efficiency in a global warm warning
Perhaps because these will appeal to drivers of the largest most polluting fossil cars and will therefore still be a big improvement. Even so, I take your point. 😊
It's all about having the biggest tail so you can strut around the neighborhood and make the local peahens moist in the cloaca.
By a Ketcar or Bobbycar it isnt SUV Mr. Global warming Lemming
12:40 so many VW Up!
For me, with a height of 180cm, the front seats were so bad I could not imagine to buy it. The headrest is so much pushing my head and shoulders forward. It felt impossible to sit there for long. What do you think of that? Don't you have this problem? Was something wrong with our test car? The space in the back - for family and luggage - was so wonderful!
I never had this problem (i'm 190cm), but my wife had also this Problem and we solved it by turning around the headrest, since then my wife has no problem.
I'm also 180cm and have been driving this car 25000 km so far without feeling uncomfortable once.
Just took it for a test drive, and the seats are defently not my cup of te, but
all the teck allmost made me forgive it:-)
im 210 and never had this issue so idk it might be bad..
Any updates on the car. I have spoken with one of the agents sellers in denmark, and they have upgraded the new batch of cars to include 3fase chargning (11kw) and there is a option to get a trailer hook on the car (upto 1500kg).. The NCAP is not great but is it not bad, many people are swapping 10-15year old cars for a new one. looking forward to see if there is anything else done with the hardware/software/fastchargningcurve ect.
there are plenty of updates, infotainment just got one, and the ui changed, some throtlle input changes were also made i believe
Hello Björn, please attend NIO Norway opening at Karl Johans Gate! Much love
Been waiting this video! Model Y (much higher price though), U5 & Ioniq5, those are the ones I find most appealing as of now.
I love that it's a car build around CarPlay/Android Auto. I don't need one of these terrible car navigation systems, pretty much all of them suck.
Anyway, these cars from China are just the beginning. Will be interesting to see how this evolves
The only downside for me is the extremely annoying whine from the motor and the fact that it only charges 3.7 kw AC. It just got a clearance for a tow capacity of 1500 kg for the 2021 model 204 hp version, which can be fitted to all sold ones too, so that's good.
AC charges 6.6 kwh on this car.
DC up to 93 kwh.
@@davesasson That certainly helps a bit. Wonder why I got it in my head it only charges at 3.7kw?🤔 I was convinced it was only 1 fase!
@@StormKleist because 3,7kw because it is only 1 fased charger. Though it is a 1 fase 32A so it can go up to 7,1kw (officially 6,6 but I got it up to 7,1-74kw evweytime on 22kw charger.).
@@TheSanien How would that work out on a wall box at home(11kw)?
@@StormKleist
1 phase, 32amp max, limited to 6.6 kwh

Nio Xpeng underneath the rug they cooperate each other like Hyundai and Kia. They will never admit it but they do.
What Carplay Dongle did he use ?
It's this one:
Carlinkit 3.0 Wireless
It works great!
@@jbredereck Great. Thanks Joern.
It looks like there was a USB port in the space below the rear seat air vent.
Nice, much worth than old tech ICE cars.
When turning the wheel, it makes the same clicking as Xpeng I think.
Thanks to test this car, how Many range at 110km/h and at 130km/h?
And what is the comnsumption?
Around 280km @110km
Isn't ID4 basically the same price? They would both get the same incentives..
Depends on the country in denmark there's a big difference, like over a 100k difference
@@P.Svendsen According to Aiways & VW danish websites they both cost around 299 000 DKK respectively. Are they being deceptive?
Depends if you take configuration into account. Base price and final price vary hugely. And while you can get a vw id4, if you want similar spec then the price ramps up
Schade dass unsere Treffen in Norwegen nicht klappte, als ich mit dem U5 zum Nordkapp gefahren bin 😉 aber das Auto wäre für ein Review mit Dachzelt auch zu voll gewesen.
This owner does really know his car? Bjørns says there isn't an USB in the back and the owner doesn't say a thing... it does have have a USB. Bjørn says it can't do more than 280km. Well it kan do 350km on a fuld charge on a normal road.
Well, in my defense: I usually don't ride in the back seat of my own car and didn't notice the USB port until now.
On German Autobahn speeds you won't drive it 280 km. But yes, you're right on country roads with 80 km/h you can get 350 km of range.
Usb under the rear vent is visible - USB A
The name of this car brand reminds me a Czech longer variant of "ouch" and that is "auvajs" :D
If Blackberry made an SUV....
7:07 he? with 63kWh battery? 200-250km is range of 28 kWh old Ioniq :)
250 km on german highway speeds (> 140 km/h)
@@jbredereck in winter? good luck.
@@electricfelix In winter the old Ioniq can’t make that either. But 200 km can be done even in winter. I have the car since january and made a couple of winter road trips with it.

One good reason AGAINST this car: it performed relativly bad in the crash test.
LoL we could all see the USB in there :)
My first look impression was "Oh, a new Mazda".
Great review!
爱驰U5，差点认不出来。
Really not bad - the Chinese manufacturers are really starting to make cars that most of us would consider.
Looks a great a car with just the right power to make an excellent ride in a very god confort and who as a beautiful dash board which combines classic style with modern techniques without those stupid big screens all over. Geat job 👍Chinese auto makers arrive… it’s going to hurt! European brands are all doing their stuff in China and selling it in Europe and that’s normal why shouldn’t it be normal the other way around 🧐
Wirth 3 Stars in the NCAP Test this car ist a no go.
Bananabox test please!🙏😁
Bad safety level i would not buy it , structure from 90s european products
NIO House Oslo video please, NIO NIO NIO NIO NIO NIO NIO NIO !!!!!
The only problem with this car is the charging speed.
It charges AC 6.6 kwH, and DC at 90+ kvH
So, we're talking 10 hours charging 0-100% at home, and about 45 minutes at fast DC charges.
This is not slow. At all.
93 kw is ok in most circumstances.
Very nice do more
