      this is such a good car guys, watch overseas review videos. Rear comfort is comparable to ICE cars and that autopark is INSANE. I'm not pro-china, but credit must be given where it's due.

      • +23

        Thanks Pengpinch

      • +3

        If the rear comfort is comparable to ICE, it will be disappointing. EV dedicated platforms have much more space and comfort than an equivalent sized ICE.

        • -1

          have u sat/crouch in the backseat of an EV before? like a Tesla

          • @Penpinch: Tesla does seems to have a small back seat. But I think a lot of the newer EV coming onto the market have more interior room compared to similar external sized ICE cars

            • @nerd1: I would dispute Tesla having a small back seat - when compared to an equivalent sized ICE, I find them to be more spacious.

          • +1

            @Penpinch: Yes, I have sat in the back seat of my Tesla model Y - is more spacious than the back seat of my Kluger.

            EVs built on a dedicated EV platform tend to have a more spacious interior than an ICE of equivalent external dimensions. Largely due to them using a skateboard style platform, and pushing the wheels out further to the front and rear to accommodate the battery.

            EVs like the Polestar 2 built on an ICE platform have a ridiculously small rear seat space.

    • +7

      Matched the price of a model y… Good luck xpeng, you'll need it

      • -1

        Close, it's $3k cheaper than the base Model Y, it won't be able to compete with Tesla. However, for the long range, it will as $12k cheaper is a lot of money. Especially since brand new EV cars are dropping by thousands and thousands of dollars in price every year whilst the technology gets better and better. Still won't be able to complete with hybrid cars as you'll never recoup the petrol savings unless you are driving like 50,000km/year.

        • What do you mean won't be able to compete with hybrids? I'm struggling with you math.

    • +34

      More brands = more competition but there are so many arriving at once that some wont last, so there is a bit of a roulette wheel factor.

      • The U.S. government plans to ban Chinese software and hardware in new electric cars after 2029[edited], but major brands like BYD might still survive. The market will change in few years.

        • +17

          The Chinese domestic market is huge, they still have access to EU and Asian markets, and have government backing. I'd be surprised if a US ban had any material impact on Chinese car manufacturers.

              Russian army bases abroad 20 need to be confirmed

              • @nerd1: Russia has always been imperialistic and tries to steal lands of other countries. Even since breakup of Soviet Union they haven't stopped stealing lands.

                Here's a list of some of regions/provinces they have annexed. Hope you know the difference between occupation and annexation.

                Transnistria (Moldova) 1990s
                Abkhazia (Georgia) 2008
                South Ossetia (Georgia) 2008
                Crimea (Ukraine) 2014
                Kherson, Zaporozhye, Luhansk, Donbas (Ukraine) 2022 - Ongoing

                Russia along with it's evil friends North Korea, Iran and China is trying to bring new world order of authoritarian society. Unfortunately, too many people on Ozbargain seem to have fetish for dictators and authoritarian countries.

                • +1

                  @TangoCharlieAlpha: didn't the europeans go across the world to conquer other countries and lay claim? Heck, didn't the English steal the land we stand on?

                  • +1

                    @nerd1: Are those Europeans still alive? Are you still living in the past?Wake up and smell the coffee and stop justifying Putin's imperialist dreams by giving centuries old examples. Talk about this day and age and present Geo-politics that affect us.

                    Fact remains that even though US is undisputed #1 Superpower for a long time they haven't annexed or stolen land from other countries, unlike Russia and China.

                    Looks like you're one of those who has fetish for dictators and authoritarian regimes.

                    • @TangoCharlieAlpha: I dont have a fetish. Jsut seeing thing from a different light abd realised how much propaganda we are being fed and sway our opinion and believes.

                      US may not have stolen land but they might asbwell have manipulating the political regimes of countries that stand up for themselves or not sell out to the US corporate greed.

                      • @nerd1:

                        manipulating the political regimes of countries that stand up for themselves or not sell out to the US corporate greed.

                        If by that you mean destroying Al-Qaida in Afghanistan after 9/11 or stopping ISIS from ethnic cleansing of Yazidis and Kurds or stopping Serbs from committing genocide in Balkans, then I guess they should do it more often.

                        • @TangoCharlieAlpha: No, I wasn't talking about the Middle East, I was referring to South America more so.

                          But, when considering the situation in the Middle East, one has to ask: what drives people to such extremes that they resort to acts of terrorism? No one wakes up with an innate desire to take innocent lives; these actions are often the result of deeply ingrained frustration, oppression, and a sense of hopelessness. While such violence can never be justified, it’s important to recognize the complex, underlying factors that push people toward such desperation.

                          When it comes to global powers like the U.S. and China, I find myself holding a nuanced perspective. I neither fully align with nor completely oppose either nation, though I recognize that prevailing media narratives, especially in the West, tend to be skewed. Many people don’t realize how subtly their opinions are shaped by the media they consume. The fervent beliefs of certain political movements, such as the 'MAGA' crowd, serve as a powerful example of how propaganda can influence even the most illogical viewpoints. While I’m sure I still hold some misconceptions myself, I strive to keep an open mind and remain receptive to new information.

                          • @nerd1:

                            I strive to keep an open mind and remain receptive to new information.

                            Totally agree on this point. In the world of populist leaders like Putin, Trump, Viktor Orban, Erdogan etc, who try manipulate and control media to spread hate and misinformation, it's hard to segregate facts from fiction. All you can do is keep an open mind and look at information from neutral prospective and make an informed opinion from variety of sources.

                            Not many countries have non-aligned neutral media left. Most independent or state media has taken side with either left or right wing politics. Society has become more divided than ever before.

                              @TangoCharlieAlpha: you forgot all of the US leaders along with their media outlet in that list. very biased view you have there.

                              • @nerd1:

                                you forgot all of the US leaders along with their media outlet in that list.

                                I didn't knew Trump was not from US. Can you tell me which country he's from?

                                Also, who do you think is responsible for 7 military coups in 3 years in Africa? Is it Russia and it's proxies like Wagner/Africa Corps or US?

                                You are totally biased and anti-US. No point debating with you, since you going to disregard all the facts, in favour of anti-US propaganda.

                                In US, you can go on NY square and shout obscenities towards Trump and Biden. Try to do the same in Russia, Iran, China, North Korea or any Middle East country against their leaders. You will find out what freedom and free society is.

                                  @TangoCharlieAlpha: I did say all. Never said Trump is not from the US, I don't know where you got that from.

                                  Why would any civilised person want to go out into the public and shout obscenities towards someone?

            @SirLaughsAlot: this was very easy to see in 2008

            during the GFC China didnt collapse even though everyone said they would because they had 1.4 bn local economy

          What cars are you talking about?
          This would imply that a manufacturer makes millions of Euro compliant models for every other market, then goes to the trouble of manufacturing a handful of non-Euro-compliant models just for the Australian market? This makes absolutely no sense. Citation please.

              What doesn't make sense is the way you phrased your question.

              Why not bring the euro V compliant models to Aus a decade ago?

              Usually you have a reason why you do something, not why you don't do something.

              Last time I checked, the European parliament doesn't have power to govern Australia. Why would you want to pay more for something that does less?

        • Interested to know which manufacturers and models?

          • +1

            @R4: They do.

            For example VW/SKODA/CUPRA that has a lot of products with a 110KW engine. Lets take the T-Roc.

            There are two variants of the 110KW engine: the more modern 1.5L married to a DSG gearbox is more efficient and has the capacity to shut down 2 cylinders under low loads like on the flat or downhill.

            The other is an older 1.4L married to a traditional automatic gear box.

            Guess which engine is more prevalent in Australia and not sold in Europe? Yep the 1.4L.

            We get the 1.4L, while Europe gets the 1.5L - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_T-Roc#Powertrain

            It's not every product that has the older engine but it is a lot more.

        • +6

          Exactly, I'd rather have these Chinese EVs on our roads than those huge American trucks.

      • because dumping is not profitable… getting rid of overproduction isn't the same as making profit

      • -3

        EV dumping is now an extension of the CCP's foreign and geopolitical policies - it's happened before from other countries/products, so nothing new.

    • +13

      we'll have a healthier market once the Chinese car dumping ends

      Dumping? The EV products from established marques outside China are mostly rubbish and future e waste

      • +2

        It's besides the point. Same will apply to many. The broader and growing market saturation is in China's interest because a) it increase dependency in their favour, and b) it disrupts/weakens established competitors. They don't subsidize the heck out of key strategic export industries for nothing. The CCP are very cunning, and very forward looking. Unlike most of us. China, like anyone with half a brain, knows only a subset of the brands will survive long term especially in foreign markets, and they could not care less. Whether its 5 brands of 50, they still win due to a) and b). The gamble for us consumers is for these very same reasons, longeivity especially in terms of customer experience / support is the gamble. But its not a gamble many consider or consider important.

        I'll personally resist the urge to replace our little car as long as i can (the most environmentally friendly option in most cases too), but no doubt there will be some very lengthy rabbit holes when that time comes.

        • +7

          so are these established non-chinese manufacturers gonna make something competitive or hwhat

          Or just go crying to the government for another bailout and piss it away on total piles like the Cruze

          • @Gdsamp: yeah and this is the problem

            in no way can traditional manufacturers respond and so i dont know what they expect governments or consumers to do

            just keep buying expensive ICE cars from JP or KR?

            I mean if you got the money, go for it….

        • I agree withyou. China is flinging shI$ at the wall (Australia) and seeing what bits stick. Xpeng may not stick in which case it would be an Xpengsive mistake for the consumer. It will be like getting a warranty claim from Ebay literally. I don't care much about my $6 fidget spinner but when it's 60k once must decide carefully.

      • -2

        you really don't know what the financial term "dumping" means… it seems.

    • +13

      Back to a "healthier market" where dealers sell cars for above list price, people waiting months/years for cars that they must pay more for than they signed on their contract because the dealer jacks prices. No local manufacturing means no case for dumping.

      • -4

        If no local manufacturer complains… it's still dumping.
        Just that a dumping duty penalty won't be applied.
        ie…. dumping means selling at a severely reduced profit margin

        "It occurs when a manufacturer lowers the price of an item entering a foreign market to a level that is less than the price paid by domestic customers in the originating country. The practice is considered intentional with the goal of obtaining a competitive advantage in the importing market."

        • +3

          yeah but then its very easy to find out the china rrp

          they charge the equivalent of $30k usd for the base model up to $40k usd for the top of the line performance

          do your currency conversions and add in 10% + import duties etc. and you're still well under the Aus rrp

          I find it funny however everyone thinks the Chinese are dumb enough to give Aussies a break on pricing… when they traditionally always charged the Chinese citizens way lower since their market has always had the lowest prices…

          • -4

            @tonyjzx: Yep…. I'm not saying that any of the chinese imports are dumping… and I'm not interested in doing the calculations.

            All I was doing was stating what the technical term "dumping" in relation to imports actually means.

            Which makes me wonder what sort of moron negs a post that states fact…. in a blur of confused bollocks.

          • @tonyjzx: ~60K AUD for top model.

            40,000 United States Dollar equals
            57,695.48 Australian Dollar + 10% gst = 63464 + import duties.

            Shipping to Australia isn't free. Delivery and sales to customer costs Australian labour. Compliance to australian standards is also far more exxy than china standards.

            I don't think they're overinflating versus local. Whether it's a good car or good for china to have control over the EV market are different issues, but the pricing seems not that crazy versus their local price.

        • +3

          The business.gov.au definition of dumping "When a company exports a product to another country at a price below the price charged in the country of manufacture, or below the cost of manufacturing the product, it is known as ‘dumping’ the product. Do you have evidence of either its below their cost of manufacture, because of my first point option one is not valid argument.

          Unfortunately, that's just the nature of modern capitalism. Identify a market with established players and limited competition. Develop a disruptive product that is "better" than the existing offering, and, most importantly, significantly cheaper. Disregard profits and udercut the existing players to grow market share. Become the dominant market player and take out the competition, preferably by acquisition so that you get their IP. Once you are dominant, raise prices, stagnate and profit.

          That said, I've got no interest in one of these cars. Becoming an early adopter for a car manufacturer is a bit more of an investment than a streaming service.

            This isn't capitalism. Capitalism doesn't involve government handouts to boost industries. That's protectionism.

            Unfortunately, that's just the nature of modern capitalism. Identify a market with established players and limited competition. Develop a disruptive product that is "better" than the existing offering

            So capitalism results in better products then? How does that compare to the alternative? Could you name you top 5 government produced cars so we may compare? Trabant anyone?

            Once you are dominant, raise prices, stagnate and profit.

            You forget to the connect the end of your story to the start which is where why capitalism is so good. A new player then comes out and offers better products for cheaper etc etc. Over time this cycle results in better and cheaper goods and services.
            You can easily observe this by looking at the rise of the every major economy (including China) as they embraced Capitalism. Let's hear it for Capitalism, the single biggest driving force behind almost all of human progress.
