Are Chinese Cars Any Good?

Chinese Cars are being made at higher speeds than most traditional US auto manufactures. The Tech inside is impressive. I take the best Chinese SUV, the Li Auto L9 Hybrid Gas and Electric car around Los Angeles California to test out all the features inside and out.

Thanks to Li Auto for Access and Sponsoring this video! These are NOT sold in the US and there are no plans in the short term to bring these cars to america!

I'm super impressed honestly. Now I need to get to China to try out more cars! Which car should I try next?

I bought this car from china and shipped it to UAE, it's excellent and I love it.

It's embarrassing that US, as the activist for "free market" and cutting edge tech, has to ban Chinese cars to keep their donor's companies survive.

Dear Americans, please don't visit China right now, because you'll be quite depressed seeing how wonderful that country is. Lots of very nice cars for under US$30k, affordable condos, clean and safe environment, insane amount of shopping options, etc.

[ezenteno]

It's not that they don't have plans to bring it to America, the US government doesn't permit them. There's no Chinese automaker selling cars in the US because of this.

I just got back from a trip to China last month and was shocked by the vehicle quality! I went there in 2017 and their cars were horrible but now the quality is unbelievably good. China is living in the future and we will be left behind unless we move forward with them as a globalized economy.

This is the best suv on earth. I owned the original model from Li Auto, the Li ONE. I sold it earlier this year as I moved back to Utah. I miss the car as there’s nothing like it here. 12:31 100%!!! Anyone saying it’s poor quality or it won’t last… don’t know about Li Auto. My car was better when I sold it than when I bought it.

Calling a $60, 000 car affordable is absolutely wild to me.. If this is genuinely the sentiment of the average American (I'm European so no idea) right now we're 1000% headed for one hell of a recession.

In China, L9 does have lots of competitors, one of the remarkable model is AITO M9, which costs more but also have better sales. You might want to review that too.

The badge at the rear of the car "理想“ means "Ideal".
I was in HangZhou, China two weeks ago. Didn't catch this model but majority of the cars typically the private hired cars (=Uber) are electrical. Even the public shuttles are on electric. The air was not polluted. Hardly smell any of gas emission.

Here in Australia, Chinese cars are becoming quite a normal sight on the roads. I see so many BYD's on the roads here and there are many other Chinese brands here that are popular like GWM and MG as well as new entries into the local market which have many pre-orders like XPeng, Leapmotor, Zeekr, Deepal etc. The popularity in Australia seems to be driven by affordable prices for the equipment you get.

[KingXRing]

I would buy the car immediately with my eyes closed! But unfortunately I live in Germany! My relatives in Russia drive an LI 9 MAX and are very satisfied! It's great that Lixiang is finally offering it outside China!

[xkr]

I’d go for that in a heartbeat but our Dear Leader has slammed all things Chinese with tariffs of more than 100%. 😡

[WillieMatthews]

I think hybrid is the way to go. Small change big changes in the world. One day we can go all electric.

[YongLi-npwg]

Li auto cars, such as models L7/8/9 are very popular in ex Soviet countries including Ukraine. Now it is getting popular in middle east as well.

[DeniSaputta]

This car came out 2 years ago in China. So everything in the car is old technology.

[HansMilling]

A sport almost only played in American is called “World series”m hehe.

[alanleung]

Great you're finally reviewing a Chinese car, please do more as I can guarantee you the L9 will not be the best one you'd review. :)

In northern China, especially in northeastern China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning) and Shandong provinces, the average height of people is the same as in the United States. People in most parts of southern China are 5 centimeters shorter than the previously mentioned areas

[aelaan]

It really is a shame that with the looming tariffs, these vehicles will not show up in North America soon.
