The right side of the central pad is for recharging the key/fob. I just got mine, I drove it for about half an hour in traffic first, and country road, and due to the fact I'm not as snobbish as someone else here, I found no issues with it. Seat is confy, engine ready, braking safe, sufficient visibility, perfect for me to get in and out, attractive features. I like it so far.

Not sure it's an intentional editorial decision but seems it's impossible to mention the MG brand. As the biggest seller in the segment found the omission extraordinary. If it's not an intentional policy then I guess the presenter spends little time on research.

cup holder down part is for the longer dimension cans or bottles, so it disappears a little, your touch much more less.

Can't trust a reviewer who won't admit all cars look the same nowadays. It may not suit you to say it but it is true. Even the comparison gives this away (you compare it to a Hyundai and Lexus, which means, outside the Omoda, those two probably lookalike). And then they are also the safety reasons for why all cars lookalike. It's not hard to understand that certain design features make the car safer. Poor review if you have to start with that.

A car that is tiring to drive prevents sleeping at the wheel. A great safety feature.

Think it looks good, booked it for a td, see what it's really like

[petersmith]

It's not copying if that's what is trendy at the time and is what the public want

[warren]

It's not 360L cargo space, it's 298L. The 360 is counting under the floor boards in the boot.

[kymgilbert]

There gorgeous viewed one ! Shall look at buying

[doctordryan]

The promo photo of the car ostensibly driving though an elephant safari had me in stitches 😂

[errolharrison]

Does sports mode improve the steering?

[ramonmartin]

I'm sure the styling will polarise buyers

[copuis]

fell apart with safety mandates

also, like, issues with asbestos in the engine, and used in brakes

I find it funny when reviewers say it Rivals the Toyota and the Kia.

This fuel guzzling, cheaply made is of no comparison.

Yes it has great features and tech.

Read the fine print when it comes to warranty.

Chery Logo looks like Infinity.

And note some greedy dealers have advertised the base model BX for $32, 990-$35990 drive away !!!

If it had an epicyclic torque converter auto it would be a point of difference... as it stands the transmission options are disappointing. The size for the price is also disappointing... a big no from me.

[jonathanfgh]

You forgot to say that part of the "Chery Effect" is that it can cause the drivers pants leg to shrink by 3-4 inches over time ...

[abd.s]

I think this dude is doing such a bad job in this car review. I reckon he shud stick to Toyota and the other car he is comparing the cherry with. I watched other review and not like him.

[arbutus]

Why is this reviewer is so arrogant when Australia only exports raw materials and makes zero car per year!

[super_slav]

A bit weak VW get 110kw 250nm from a 1.4.
