@Swwils You going to order one? It's certainly going to be much more than £42k once they export them over to the UK and set the pricing for the UK market.

22" wheels are pretty normal sizing for this segment. 23" and 24" are becoming more popular though in 2025 on this size of SUV.

I'm running 22" wheels on my iX.

 

I need something a bit bigger.

 

This is a gorgeous vehicle. Reminds me of a Porsche in some way.

 

That rear end looks straight off a Volvo S80.

 

Looks like a drop in replacement for the orphaned ipace 😅

 

Huawei ADAS system with lidar and camera fusion - supposed to be the best ADAS system out there.

 

Looks like it’s coming to the UK later this year according to Autocar. They’re already making RHD variants in Thailand:

“In Thailand, it will be sold in two forms: a 90.4kWh model with a 245-mile range, priced at ฿2.09m (£47,729), and a 116.8kWh model with a 420-mile range, priced at ฿2.23m (£52,307)”

Chinese brand, owned by CATL, Changan and Huawei, will build right-hand-drive cars in Thailand for export to Europe

Definitely won’t be sold at those prices here, but if they’re sensible and don’t go crazy that’s an impressive and fresh-faced competitor to a Mod Y for example.

 

Was in China last week, loads of new models since my last visit 6 months ago, some look brilliant. Western car makers really shouldn’t have spent so long fighting against EVs

 

The biggest auto market in the world. Forget the USA. That lot are done. China is looking far ahead.

 

Hey, is it certified in EU? Certificate of Conformity (CoC) ?

 

Do you need such certification in the UAE?
