Some people will see anything. Tell them it's Japanese, they wouldn't say that then.

@@InsideChinaAuto hahaha that’s true😂

@@InsideChinaAuto Well since you answered my comment so I want to ask is there any chance for you to review or take a look at Aito cars? something like M7 (I have an interest in it)

@cocoaiscool2709 Sure. We do have one review of the AITO M5 but it's from the early days of the channel so a bit pants compared to the new stuff. I have tried to get their PR people, still working on it. I'd like to try the electric M5 and the M7 too but I'll see what I can do. Be honest though, the M7 Is not very attractive, it's a bit bland compared to most Chinese brands now.

This would go great guns in the UK I reckon. Hopefully one day it gets there.

@@InsideChinaAuto I'm not a fan of the electronic parking brake but for this car I would put up with it. This is what VW and Tesla should be making. I think this is better looking and more sports like than the mustang mach e which has too many door, costs too much and doesn't look right. It's like they've listened to the people and designed the car the public wants rather than trying to force people to buy what they want. If this comes to the UK and stays as is with only the wheel being changed over I would buy it with a smile. It would sell out instantly, even if they asked 30 grand for it here.

I doubt it will ever hit the UK, they would need very high LHD sales to even remotely consider making a RHD version. There are so many very good cheap Chinese EV's at the moment, but less than 5% will make it to the UK imo. 10/15 years time that may well be a different story. But atm no chance.

@@ianplummer But no two door coupes, all cheap looking five door China imports or over priced euro five doors. This is probably the first EV that is fun to drive, has a decent range, not slapped together like a tesla, not over priced and is good looking too. Just the potential sales in Australia and maybe even Japan would warrant making a RHD. The African market is RHD too, a cheap, well designed EV would go over well there. This is probably the first EV that was designed with drivers in mind. They could stick another 5 to 10 grand on the price and it will still sell with RHD.

“If” and that’s a pretty big IF, it ever makes it to the UK. The dealer will add £10k but the killer will be the Import duty and levy that the UK will add on, the last cheap Chinese car I saw that actually made it to the UK was £13k in China but £27k here and that was due to a levy designed to protect the (non existent) UK electric car industry.

Hoping they go to Europe soon. Believe they're in Israel now and a Jordan, a couple of other places. Time for European expansion.

@@InsideChinaAuto Thanks, fingers crossed they dont slab to much EU tax on Chinese EV's, to protect the hopelessly failing EU car brands.

@BMWHP2 We can only hope. The big 'protection' is coming and it has everything to do with their benefits and not those of the people.

@xiaomeinv7 Saidly, the price makes the MG Cyberster close to "Unobtainium". Around the €60k not €30k.

@@BMWHP2 you know they will, china is under trade embargo for long time now, mostly of bs reasons..

Glad you like it mate. Really happy to have you.

Thank you very much, and thank you for watching.

A lot of thought, effort, and given how hot it was, sweat as well. Doing these videos in summer is a form of torture. But glad you appreciate it. The little town/village is lovely.

The little village is in a very nice, mostly new part of Hangzhou in the south east by the park area. To be fair it doesn't seem to be fully open yet hence it looks fresh and rather lovely and empty now. It'll change, but for now is good for filming with minimum disruption.

@@InsideChinaAuto Also liked the contrast with the skyscrapers in the background. Funny you call it village, which in China comparing to those mega cities it probably is one lol

@no_clot_shot1128 Haha, I was referring to the part I filmed in, which is about the only thing you can call a village in China. There's a whole tonne of cities with over 1 million people and obviously some with more than 25 million so they're gonna need new words I think.

@@InsideChinaAuto This place is stunning. Will definitely find a time to visit

what is the name of this little town ?

No problem mate.

Haha, it did take a bit longer to come in this time, but yes, RWD thankfully. Really hope these guys expand to Europe and the UK.

He said this was in Hangzhou

Thank you very much. The filming was done in Hangzhou, a very beautiful and modern city in the south of China with a lot of nature around it and some amazing parks. The particular area I was in is really quite new and the little village with the moving shots is not fully open yet hence not so many people around, but makes for peaceful video making.

Thank you very much, glad you liked it. I'm with you on gloss black, bit less of that ideally, and we do need more tilt, it makes all the difference but not many offer it to a decent level sadly.

Indeed, but that was just a concept, not on sale yet. Hopefully it will be. You'll need the roof off because rear headroom is pretty terrible if you're an adult.

Working very hard to get first looks at the most interesting cars before others do, though my spare time is non-existent at the moment. But yes, they've done a good job with this one and we need more like this.

South east Hangzhou by the large lake parks at the south east base of a kind of mountain/hill. There's a temple there. The little town isn't fully open though yet but you can drive in.

Glad you're enjoying it, Jing. There's a few of us in this space, each with our own style, and between us I think we cover some good stuff, though you're right, it's the market that's the gift that keeps on giving, the joy is all mine. So many cars from China now are just fantastic. Nobody could have imagined this ten years ago.

It is indeed, and the neighborhood is very lovely though not in full operation yet so at least peaceful enough to film in.

Oh they're coming mate, might be a few more years but they're coming. Highly suspect these guys will be in Europe in the next 3-4 years. They're already in Israel and some people say they're Europe.

@@InsideChinaAuto I know Chinese brands will do a massive disembark on the European market buy well miss fantastic cars like this NETA GT for sure

@@peterpanda1970 Let's see. They're making it for someone because it's certainly not for volume sales in China unless they know something we don't.

Neta just showed the s, u and v in my country indonesia, i would love this in dual motor. This and the mg4 xpower.

Here here. Let's hope for more of them.

Me too. I'd love to see these on the streets on visits home.

I do like the wheels a lot. Great design.

I'd certainly like to. I'll ask them about the possibility.

Give it time, it should get there I'm hoping. No signs of European expansion yet but it's a market they'll want to look at.

Definitely. We need more stuff like this, we've had enough of SUVs.

Thank you, and yes it does. Currently nothing announced, but these guys are in Thailand (RHD market) and are getting closer to Europe bit by bit. This would surely be on the list (and why not, it's something we'd love more than the local market) as and when they come so stay tuned for announcements in due course. Fairly sure they're coming.

Very happy that somebody chose to make a coupe, finally.

Hangzhou. A stunningly modern and yet natural city. Lovely place, one of my favourites. Not easy to get a seat at a restaurant though, the restaurants are always rammed for some reason.

Bringing back orange and squares. About time.

I don’t think I have to remind you that the old Rusting All Agro or Austin Allegro was one of the worst cars ever built in Britain!! I don’t really want to be reminded of those bad old days!!

@@Madonsteamrailways Haha. My old Mini was (is) as rusty as hell too but I love it to bits. Part of a love/hate relationship.

Agreed, it's got a bit of Laguna Coupe vibe about it. I like the orange but would probably go white and blue if I got one myself

Yes, definitely if they take it out of China.

Hopefully it gets over there in the not too distant future.

Sure. What I meant are that they're not air intakes as they would be on an ICE car, because that's how they're made to look. Instead they only have the one function which is for aero, because EVs don't need any grilles apart from lower down.

I believe that's without subsidies though not certain on that. Will have to check. But yes, with VW investing into XPeng's platform and Audi into SAIC's, who knows who might go for Neta.

Then you'll like this car I guess. Got any orange sporty gear?

If you're going to be budget sports, not a bad thing to learn from some of the best.

Very much so.

Makes a nice change, right?

They're not without their flaws and drawbacks but honestly, the smoothness and rapidity of the drivetrain and no tailpipe emissions make them awesome. Harder to build character in though.

Ridiculous price this, even for the dual motor.

I assume you mean the car 🤣 but I'd like to see Thailand again too

Would agree. Back seats are the worst for me. No headroom at all.

They do indeed. GAC, for example, have a design studio in Milan, and more and more have studios in Europe. It's really helping to bring some great new flavour to car design.

@@InsideChinaAuto My nephew works in Milan. He worked on the Devel 16 supercar. The 16 cylinders were from two Vette engines and four turbo chargers.

@@earllsimmins9373 I'm going to have to go research this car now.

@@InsideChinaAuto Comes in 3 Flavors the goal is to make the fastest production car.

@@earllsimmins9373 I'm all for that.

We need more of them. MORE! 😁

Sure, it's really fast, but for some reason didn't seem to work fast in this car. I've had it in other cars, works well, this one very slow, maybe 5% in 12 minutes I think I measured. May be the rubber mat and my phone cover combining to make it not such a good connection but it's not usually an issue of my cover with other cars.

Certainly not a bad looker. I prefer the rear three quarters angle most.

From this angle, definitely has some of that style. I like the Eclipse a lot.

They're getting better and better all the time, this brand in particular seem to be evolving massively with every new car.

Correct on all 3 counts.

Nothing planned just yet that I know of but they're pushing abroad to a select few countries so maybe testing the water on Europe given that coupes like this are not big sellers historically in China.

Haha. Those rear seats are really the worst part. Headroom was terrible. I couldn't put my head straight.

Poor sausage!!

Not currently scheduled to have one but can try to get hold of one.

Agree. Bit of a sexy beast, especially the back.

Will have to be the Aya now as the V has been updated and changed name.

Currently only in China but they'll be heading out to the world fairly soon. No official word but this is very much a car for outside of China.

No plans just yet but hopefully at some point.

I'm sure it'll take that as a compliment. For what it's worth, I think the Emira rocks. Damn sexy thing.

Oh I think I'd definitely take an Alpine over this. That's my all-time most desirable car but they don't sell them here sadly.

Hoping to get one at some point but haven't managed a contact at Changan yet.

Apologies for that. When it's created it matches the audio for volume but seems it's coming out too loud at the end so I'll turn that down a bit from now on.

True that. With EVs we can get far more sensual beauty because we don't need a huge lump under the bonnet, so we should be working towards that.

It's a great start. More seemingly on the way from Japan, at least concepts at the Tokyo Auto Show this week. Let's see how soon they come.

It is indeed. It's where I drove the Panda. Hoping to drive the L6 but it isn't out just yet, only the L7 so far.

No word on it yet, they haven't even had an auto show stand, but I'm certainly looking forward to it coming out to see what they've achieved, though I believe it will be 4-door, not 2. To be honest, nearly every EV has all the performance you'll ever need, it's whether they build any joy into the driving that sets them apart now.

@@InsideChinaAuto kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o810orlq2Le0l58.html this is the 2dr sc01 I was referencing. The ms11 is the kind of weird nosed 4dr sedan they also have leaked photos and prototypes of doing winter testing etc.

@4literv6 Ah, my bad, I know what you mean now. Yes, I believe they're involved in this. One of the other KZfaqrs here put a deposit down on one but he's heard very little development since, so fingers crossed it makes it off the ground.

@@InsideChinaAuto good point, his video of receiving the gift model of it gave me hope. But for a car supposedly entering production soon? And deliveries by year's end, I'd have thought a lot more details would be released? He mentioned they polled potential owners about colors and wheels recently. 🤔 Vs the gac aion ssr which has been seen from multiple prototypes and in actual trial production this spring. Along with multiple byd yangwang u9 prototypes have also been seen on the roads of china driving around since spring. Those seem truly legit evs in comparison imo.

Haha, I know, hard to believe. Really though, going through this brand's cars is like watching evolution in progress. The leaps they've made between products is quite stunning.

@@InsideChinaAuto btw is Wei Rui a good company in making EV batteries? Are they reliable like CATL?

@just4therecord Afraid I can't say I've ever heard of them so couldn't give you a clear answer. Do you know which brand is using them, if any?

@@InsideChinaAuto it belongs to Geely so they use them. Like the smart #1. Search for Ningbo Weirui Electric

Hopefully by then there will be loads of choice too, but this is definitely a good start. Maybe you can go for the white and dark blue interior, that's the one I'd go for.

No idea just yet but I'd say there's a reasonable chance, just not sure when.

Haha, they have some great stuff coming out, HiPhis, NIOs, XPengs, and hopefully these guys will make it to Europe with this and the S.

I'll tell Neta they need to ship this pronto.

Honestly I expect the Europeans and Japanese to still make better driver's cars because that's a key feature for them, less so in China, but the gap might get closer. Price will remain far apart though I'd wager, at least for a while.

Not just yet, but give it time, I think there's a chance.

Only Chinese in China but I believe English will be an option outside of China. Maybe there's a review video from one of the other Neta markets like Thailand.

I like the S too, it's actually somehow nicer than this and I like the back seat, deep cushion so you have more leg support. More need to do that.

Because the US government doesn't want you to have nice things.

Limited to 190kph (118mph)

@@InsideChinaAuto can it be unlimited? I live in germany, and 450hp are no use to me if i cant go over 190kmph

@@sum1835 There's always a way to crack the code

Thanks for the comprehensive comment. This is a pretty car, though not perfect, but at least it's a sports car. I don't have a home charger here though my compound has them, so I charge outside. It's cheap enough and they're readily available. Not much clue on phases and things though. This particular location is a tiny little village that's not yet fully opened so it's good for video without disturbances, but that's why it's empty. Nobody lives here properly yet. Plus I do get up very early for driving shots just because it makes my life a lot easier.

@@InsideChinaAuto Look at that! A country that builds infrastructure before it’s needed. As for 3 phase electricity, all it means is that there are effectively 3 separate power supplies working in unison to avoid overloads. Single phase is common in the UK because we’re antiquated and didn’t invest in infrastructure after the war. 3 phases is across a lot of Europe, probably due to the extensive bombing by the allies and the need to rebuild. Anyway, single phase is enough for all domestic uses except charging EVs (quickly). 3 phase supplies will be needed because banning gas boilers in new builds and the move to PV panels and Heat Pumps. Single phase cannot cope with charging EVs, a heat pump and solar panels. If you have 3 phase supply in the UK it costs around £8k to install dependent on how far you are from a 3 phase supply. Villages are problematic, but living in a town means you can access it more easily because all commercial premises are 3 phase. A 22kW charger is available in the UK if you have 3 phase supply. BTW, what do you do out there? I’ve looked at jobs in Unis out there and I quite like the idea of moving, except for the complex language!

@albertol1529 Thanks for the explanation. You're right about China investing in infrastructure in advance, they do that a lot. Didn't realise we'd fallen so far behind back in the UK. Out here I'm mostly on this, communications, and content. It's not as easy to find roles out here as maybe it was ten years ago but universities are still happy for the right people. Many foreigners get by without much of the language or little, but it's not difficult to get some basics and you might even enjoy doing a bit more than that. One thing's for sure, no two days are the same, and that's worth it on its own.

@@InsideChinaAuto Thanks for the info, I may get in touch with some unis. It looks great out there.

I'd argue there haven't been any cool looking Chinese cars around for 3-4 years, the bulk of the good stuff has come in the last 2.5 years and I see plenty of those still around. EVs are not difficult to make reliable.

Haha, 120k might be a bit steep but it will cost more, no doubt. Still, cool car though.

I'm with you on that.

Indeed, which I checked again later is actually 183mpg in fuel terms. This is one of the better consumers of the recent cars I drove that all averaged more than that.

Glad you agreed. It is a pretty good car and great for the price. How did the acceleration feel on the dual motor? Was it aggressive?

@@InsideChinaAuto Well, im not trying to sell you the car, But the experinece was just soo good , NetaGT is a direct drive unit , no gear, so the all acceleration is just smooth yet so savage ! the at the sports mode the steering assint will be weaker and more sensitive . and the only phsical buttom on the consel is the crystal Lauch buttom . I counldnt breath under the lauch coutrol , the car has wind drag coefficient of 0.21 cd(official said) , I dont know how they make it so low, but during the speed, wind noise isnt that loud since EV are too quite. and I asked the Neta sales the seat material are made from vegan leather ,

@@DS-pk4eh Let me ask about getting cars into Switzerland. I'll get back to you.

Fully agree. The S face on this, you're all sorted.

Haha, glad that's what you took from the video.

Haha, it's a small new village that isn't really open yet, and I tend to film where there are less people as it's generally safer and less disturbances. You'd be amazed how often people walk through your shot or make noise in the background. Places like this are ideal for filming but don't know how long I'll have the luxury at this site.

Yeah, not looking likely just yet but maybe in time. Let's hope.

There's a few reasons, one being that they trust 3D modeling more, two being that the supply chain is on their doorstep so things are quicker and much cheaper to develop, then there's high levels of automation in the factories. As for selling abroad, setting up dealer networks takes time, plus they need to develop a reputation. Currently Neta are in a few places like the Middle East and Jordan, I think Israel and Thailand too. Europe will be on the cards at some point.

@@InsideChinaAuto Having an affordable alternative is never bad. If it helps to promote the segment in China, all the power to them. Perhaps, this will encourage more Chinese automakers to enter this niche segment.

Haha. Well done Neta.

Wouldn't that be awesome. Loved the Celica, the mid-90s one.

Cyberster does look ace. Hoping to drive one at some point.

17 inches I think. Pretty big, similar to a Model S I think.

@@InsideChinaAuto never actually but I based it someone who goes once a month. I prefer ICE anyway

@dangerman01582 Not sure what your charging prices are there for public chargers. I can imagine you're getting rinsed.

Price wise, yeah, no doubt more expensive, but still cheaper than the Cyberster which I believe will start at £59k. As for the batteries, they should have a lifetime guarantee but at least 8 years they should maintain the bulk of their storage capacity. This car is brand new so no real indication of long-term just yet. Parts is really an industry wide issue, supply chains somehow still haven't fully recovered so even innocuous parts are grounding all kinds of vehicles at the moment. I'll have to trust you on the MG stuff. I have a family member with one but no issues yet, though its still within the first year and not electric (if that's where the parts issue is, I don't know).

It is an argument worth having. I personally prefer physical controls so if they're going to put them on screens I expect them to make them as simple as possible and not going hunting through menus. There's a balance to be found and I don't think it's by putting everything onto the screen.
