  • WE'RE BACK IN CHINA BABY!! This time, we actually GET TO DRIVE the INSANE Chinese cars...
    Zeekr-a Geely group company that owns Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, and many other companies-has invited Matt from CarSauce to visit China again, this time to take a look at all of their upcoming new models coming to Australia. The Zeekr X and Zeekr 009 are hitting Aussie shores by the end of the year, and Matt flew over to review them.
    In this vlog, we're going to head from Melbourne, Australia to Shanghai, China - to travel with Zeekr to see how they make their cars, and then drive their crazy cars on Ningbo International Track. But we also see all of the other Chinese car brands while in China, like Li Auto, BYD, GWM, Lynk & Co, DongFeng, and so many more.
    So join Matt from CarSauce on this crazy new adventure to China in just 2 months, to see an even more in-depth journey to the Chinese automotive industry!

    Here at CarSauce, we review every new car on the market. We are a community of sauce givers and we'd love for you to subscribe and join our community!
    We give every car "the sauce", test their 0-100km/h, and see whether or not they are worth purchasing and spending your hard-earned cash on.
    From time to time, we'll also buy a weird and wacky car and take you on the journey with me! We release videos every Sunday 5pm AEST / AEDT with the latest new car reviews!
    Your feedback is important, so if you want to see us do something new or something you would like me to change let me know! Got a question for me? Leave it in the comments! I try and respond to them all!

    Chinese cars are kinda like smartphones. Thanks to fierce market competition and complete industrial chain, new models are rolling out every month with super-fast iteration cycles. Wth the powerful voice assistant, you can get through about 90% of your car operations without touching the screen, Li Auto has three big selling points: a fridge, a TV, and a comfy sofa, they've combined all three in their cars, marketing them as 'your mobile home.'

    Matt and Jacob. Your tour is beyond excellent. I think that I just seen the future of motoring and it's amazing. I've got a relative who is skeptical about buying Chinese cars, although, I'm open to buying one or more. I reminded him that we've had two wars with Germany, his favourite country from which to source cars, and from which I bought my first car. I also indicated that we've also had one war with Japan which is a nation from which he has never purchased although I've had a number of Japanese cars. He won't but Korean or American cars although I've had numbers of both. He loves British brands, although I've had several including an EType Jaguar. I'm an Anglo Australian. Two years before the Beijing Olympics we toured comprehensively through China via Beijing and bullet train to The Terra Cotter Warriors. Flying a number of legs. Numbers of huge cities, and cruising down the Yangtze River and flew into Singapore. My uncle and aunt accompanied Australian PM Gough Whitlam and opened up China to the Western World. Also, a relative is an Anglo Aussie who was a captain on a Chinese international airline. My 18 year old nephew recently bought a new Testa. He does something in secret IT. I don't understand how EVs works and am comfortable with my new adventurous green Kia Picanto Sport

Just think that Ford, GM and Stellantis has a totally new model every 3-5 years tells you the whole story how rapid things change in China ! ...LoL

      @@kevinrich5222 the reason is our government's dumb idea to try and please our Southern master by going all in on EV while trying to bypass Chinese supply chain with the likes of Honda, Stellantis and Northvolt, never mind the first being an EV laggard, the second throwing in the towel and signed a massive agreement with Chinese Leapmotors, and the latter not having the scale for cost effective batteries. As a result, we've sunk way too much money which we're at risk of not getting anything out of if we let in Chinese EVs and batteries.
