Savings of $5000 from the original price for the Hybrid variants, $2000 lower than its offering back in June from $52990.
Non-hybrid models also lowered by $1000 from original price.
GWM offers page also have a finance offer with its previous price, though might not be updated correctly yet.
@juki: Different, GPS is passive, and the cars before the recent years smart cars do not send data back to manufacture at all.
Nowadays the new cars especially electric cars, the entire system sending data back to manufacture including your GPS data, and also the manufacture could remotely active and enter your system.
One famous blogger guy in china do a lot of car tests, once he tested BYD 'high speed vs range' on highway and published some data not in favour of BYD, then BYD reported him to police because BYD read his running data and claimed he has over speed 4 times on the highway.
After I read this, BYD is no longer on my shopping list.
@petiteway: Right… and BYD publicly announced that they reported him to the police…
I bet there is a lot of he said/she said you read online and totally believe because "trusted source".
You'd be surprised how many apps are tracking your every move then
you can install duck duck go browser and enable app protection just to see all the requests made by random apps.
Do you have a link for this? I'm just wondering how he was watching porn in the card as I don't think they have smart phone mirroring built in. Interesting.
No one gives a **** of what you watch on your car mate, gotta work on your story a bit.
I wonder if they've fixed the rear wheels leaving the ground under heavy braking issue?
If they haven't then don't consider this safety shitbox.
Is the bargain in the room with us?
thought id never see the day of finding another SUV 7 seater that can towe at least 3T.
i was expecting to be stuck with the trialblazer until it dies. this give me hope to upgrade in the not too distant future.
I am waiting for the 6000 SUX version.
Sorry, every time I hear the name Tank 300 I think of this.
How anyone would get inside a moving one of these blows my mind. It's flat out scary they're on the roads.
It has a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
How does a car who’s rear wheels fly off the ground when braking get 5 stars?
@cnut: Because when it does a forward flip, the high quality seat belts, crumple zones, and air bags will keep you more or less alive.
It has a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
lol. Means basically nothing https://www.carexpert.com.au/opinion/ancap-has-lost-relevanc…
How does a car who’s rear wheels fly off the ground when braking get 5 stars?
Because ANCAP is a joke.
The ANCAP system may technically have five stars, but it has become a basic yes or no system where a vehicle that receives five stars is a yes… while anything below that is basically a fail, and is lambasted for its safety credentials. There’s also no actual testing of safety systems on public roads. A lot of the active safety systems fitted to five-star cars are appallingly bad to use in real life, but are required for maximum ratings.
Chinese cars again here?
Most Australian can only afford Chinese cars.
Some like the BYD are very capable. What's your problem?
As opposed to Australian cars? Or Danish cars? Or Yugoslavian cars?
My only gripe and worry about these, and every other SUV on the market with a similar set up - the reason old cars last long is because the engines were adequate for the weight they are pulling.. A 2L turbo would be using every single horse power to get that body moving, an engine that highly strung working that hard its whole life is doomed to have a short lifetime. Just my humble opinion, the hybrid might be a bit better with the low end torque to get the body moving so that would be my pick, the others I don't have much confidence in.
Your not wrong there.
Also in the past, engines were made from cast iron/steel blocks, thicker piston walls.
These days are they are made from an aluminium alloy. Good luck with longevity.
Plus they are built cheaper with plastic parts and more reliant on software that can glitch out with age.
Love it.
These Chinese cars are going to force Hyundai and Kia to lower their prices.
And I can't wait till Xpeng's X9 700+km range on battery comes here.
I hope toyota/subaru to lower their prices.
Same, I want a landcruiser…
Discount!!! Mmmmm. What happened to the chip shortage?
Saw some honest reviews from china. One of them had wheels collapsed on a desert 🏜.
The rear wheels lifting off the ground under heavy breaking was a problem they were having here.
The mentality is quite different.
In China, cars are typically written off after 8 years, so long-term durability isn't expected.
Consequently, new car models are introduced almost every year, making frequent replacements the norm.
Exactly, Australians keep their cars for an average 10 years but these new cheap cars don’t even have that lifespan.
Do you really want to own a Volkswagen or Mercedes after 8 years?
Nah.
I recently sold my diesel VW Jetta that I'd owned for 13 years. Ultra reliable and I was loathe to sell it but it would have meant we'd have 4 cars if I'd kept it.
Man it's such a hard time getting any kind of objective commentary out of this community sometimes. Having an amicable conversation about EVs is hard enough let alone when they're Chinese as well. I'd be surprised if anyone has ever even stepped foot in one of these.
As someone who doesn't like CCP-made cars and will never buy one, I think it looks quite nice. Reliability, economy and quality are other issues but it does look the deal.
people used to say that about GPS but here we are using the GPS to go get milk
