Those horns have to go.

It seems the RHD Jaecoo J6 bEV will be in Australia May/June 2025, and has been confirmed by Jaecoo Australia (Chery Australia, Rhodes NSW 2138 Sydney)?

OMG that steering wheel 🤮

Great Review Elliot - nice to say a good comparison of European and Chinese EVs and what consumers in each market are after. Keep em coming!

That carbon fibre on the wheel and the arm rest has to go. Sir, this is not a Halfords.

柳卅棺木也出名

Need this in Aus

This i3 seems like a compliance car. BMW makes way better cars here in Europe like the i4. Not sure what this one is even trying to do.

goddamn chinese really shows how to be a good civilization, they really let the people have it, not like here EV so premium priced

This is what BMW should do in Europe with series years ago😊❤❤ Great video

I'm so keen to see this in Aus, really hope it comes here! Need more content!

not BMW, CMW - Chinese Motoren Werke

Cheap cereal box cars 😅😅😂

FullyCharged sent me here ⚡ A normal looking electric sedan across the international market, BMW is missing out there man

Great review Elliot , what are BMW thinking ? This would sell sell sell in the UK (with CCS of course ) if it was priced right.

pretty sure they came with apple carplay lol.

*Cries in American*

280kw in the dual motor is quite good

I kept thinking “Chevy”… oopppppssd

12:42 yeah there's a lot of after market fake carbon in that sweet BMW

Does it really start at 350k RMB though? I heard it’s on big discounts at all dealers

as a taiwanese in china here, i currently own a bmw i3 and also an ix3, i've driven lots of bmw (both intl. ones and china-only long wheelbase)since F chassis days, and this car just doesn't deliver as much fun as the old bmw, and espacially this i3 which is created with the petrol version in mind, the chassis is extremely low and is a big oof for the roads in china imo. The car does support carplay tho, but no android auto. also the actual acceleration speed from 0-100kph is actually faster than what they say officially, i've done several testing and it was around 5.9s for my i3 35L as shown in vid, and the 40L which is the higher spec model can do 5.4s approx fyr

If you just want to lower your CO2 statistics, that's what you end up with. Just average.

Who buys that ish? Sorry. No.

Looks better than the i4. I would buy a BMW i3 Touring, if available...

Hey Richard, love the channel. I think you meant the BMW is in the Top 10% in driving. If it's in the Top 90%... then it could be as low as the 90th out of a hundred cars.

We can tell that living/reviewing in the Chinese market makes you very sensitive to the BS tech that Chinese consumers value. But it's fair to say that China is a young automotive market with collective naivete about long term reliability and support for the second most expensive purchase you'll make after housing. To lavish extremely fragile motorized actuation of things unnecessarily makes cars far more disposable, as opposed to holding their value for longer time. This is because cars meet the scrap yard when they cost more to fix than to buy comparable used (or new). Or worse yet, when the manufacturer was one of the 50% that go under after the initial car boom has ended. Globally, manufacturers have been failing at this lesson, and to be fair, manufacturers enjoy a possible short term gain of creating planned obsolescence to a loyal consumer. But the brand (or subbrand or high end model) is eventually deemed stupid to own if the depreciation is far too rapid. BMW 7 series and high end Mercedes 12 cyl. suffered from this problem in the 90s and early 2000s. They were hideously complex and caused great stress to their owners as they demanded constant repair attention and at great expense. On a related note, as a person who studies Sustainable Transportation carefully, and understands that full sized cars/SUVs/pickups (EV or ICE) are completely UNSUSTAINBLE, it makes me sad to see the rapid transformation of China from the land of the bicycle, to the the land of the e-bike, to the land that ripped out their bike infrastructure and temporarily sprinted to become car dependent. This will last less than 10 more years, and the Chinese will have already peaked as US and European markets have done. I'd say enjoy it while it lasts, but it's shameful that China went this route, just as it's shameful that it's taking the USA and Europe soo long to understand that we cannot possibly use single occupancy full sized EVs in a zero carbon scenario.

I find myself using the driving aids on long highway journeys a lot... you should include lane centering & adaptive cruise control in your checkliist of things tot try.

BMW is working on a new electric only platform (neue klasse) for the European factories, which will replace the 3 series etc.

Ironic that they don't bring it to other markets given the success of the original i3

6:03 - Driving is in the top 90% doesn’t say a lot about it. If it was in the top 10%, maybe… 😊

seen quite a few of these in China. it's selling fairly well compared to other foreign EVs that don't have a Tesla badge - but that's a very very low bar. BMW has the right idea with this BMW i3 eDrive and the iX3, but the prices are still too high.

I prefer the original i3! smaller is better

camera-car - it was IM Motors? it will be interesting to see review of this car

I would like to buy it just because it doesn't have a button to close the boot!

It's indeed "meh", feels too old, and costs too much. In a world without alternatives though, it's pretty good.

I've been to China a number of times, always wanted to drive there but my Chinese friends tell me not to because I will get accident scammed

What is this thingy you reviewing?

Don’t risk you and your loved one’s life on Chinese car…

🍒 on top

The small fan next to the wireless phone charger for keeping your phone cool is a fantastic touch. Cool car for sure

Slave labor gives you a lot for your money as these will destroy western auto jobs.

literally looks like Lucid Air lmao

This is by far the most exciting EV to date out there. I watched some of the other vids put out by these guys restoring and working on other cars like S2000 and IS200 (didn't even know those made it to China and I'm from there lol) and everything I hear from them is a huge green flag for how this is going to turn out. They are true sports car enthusiasts, just the same as in any country outside of China.

Chery finally got design right.

Thank got no stupid lidar. Chinese cars are just stupid with lidar they don’t help, just add cost

Bold move by Chery and Huawei!

Nio's UK boss Matt Galvin has left for rival company Polestar with no replacement in the frame, raising questions over the Chinese EV brand’s long-mooted plans for a UK launch
