Is Driving a CHEAP Chinese SUV in Outback Australia a TERRIBLE IDEA??
Arguably, the biggest fear Aussies have about their cars is reliability. And let's be honest: Chinese brands have a bad reputation in Australia because of issues in the mid-2000s.
But a decade later, can you trust a Chinese SUV? Well, join me on my rural Australia drive - out on some dangerous remote roads with no phone reception - to see if the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro can handle the Aussie outback!

Come on- Melbourne to Hamilton is all main roads that are sealed. You'd need to deviate for those gravel sections. I used to do that trip regularly and my 1984 Holden Camira survived it many times back in the mid to late 1980's. I'm sure the roads are a lot better now.

@davidg5991 2 ай бұрын

@vincentmothapa2421 it's the title "Cheap Chinese SUV in OUTBACK Australia... Can it SURVIVE ". Even the gravel roads were nice and smooth. It was a disappointing "test" to drive it on essentially normal everyday roads. There was no "outback" driving at all. Any vehicle would survive the roads driven.

I wonder why geely is not yet entering your market. I think their okavango, azkarra, tugella, coolray, and monjaro can compete there. I personally own a Geely sedan and I chose it because of the better design, built, fit and finish among its other chinese rivals here. Tho i think Geely focuses more on the middle east, our current line up is a year behind from their latest offerings in china and the middle east.

Nice review. Great job. One observation, directed at several reviewers. I think it’s time to quit complaining about driver monitoring systems. Manufacturers don’t have a choice but to fit them now for 5 stars. So criticise ancap, not the car brand. Apart from that, excellent review.

@CarSauce 2 ай бұрын

Yes and no. I’m not mad it’s there, I’m annoyed it’s so poorly calibrated. Some brands, like BMW, have done a better job at making sure it recognises when you’re interacting with the infotainment display vs using your phone. Hope that makes sense 🫡

I do love watching your show, but did I hear you right, can it survive the Aussie outback and you drove from Melbourne to Hamilton in Victoria. Well, I think I need to give you a little lesson on what and where the outback is. I know and i nearly live there, well, some people think it's the outback, Exmouth WA,1250k's north of Perth, stinking hot, been over 49c and this summer, weeks and weeks of over 40c everyday and no rain for 8 months. But, the true outback really starts a few 100k's inland from Exmouth and I think you would die there. So, if you really want to test the Chery in the OUTBACK, start in Exmouth and head east, do the CSR, the Gunbarrel Hwy, good luck with that.

Outback? Between Melbourne and Hamilton? Seriously? If you really want to test it in the outback, try taking it up the Birdsville Track, or across the Simpson Desert like Mitsubishi did with the Outlander PHEV. It would be very interesting to see how it holds up in that sort of environment.
