You obviously promote Toyota. Your fuel consumption is ridiculous. Got a Jetour for a month. Did not go on long road yet. Fuel consumption at the moment is at 7.5 after 800km. Cannot compare with a low spec and over price Toyota Cross.

I drive a dashing, I know what you talking about with the pull away situation. This was my experience when I started driving it. You need to get used to the car and how to pull away. I don't experience that anymore. It's absolutely amazing. I'm completely happy with it.

So called legacy brands are feeling the heat so they resort to taking cheap shots . You cannot fool all the people to part with their hard earned money for an overpriced so called legacy brand .

....towards Chinese cars

This negative bias towards shows this is nothing more than a paid advert for overpriced Toyota, Hyundai, VW brands.

Thank you Sean - this is very informative. I think we will know in 5 years time whether this car has what it takes to be sustainable in terms of sales. Cars are becoming more and more expensive and brand new cars are unaffordable to many buyers, so people are tending to keep their vehicles for longer. Whether the Chinese brands can compete with the longevity of brands like Toyota, Hyundai and VW remains to be seen.

Excellent review!! I’ve been considering both vehicles so this review really put a lot into perspective. Thank you for mentioning the fuel efficiency of both 👍🏾 I’m leaning towards the C9 but I do appreciate the infotainment of the Tiguan. Again, excellent review! 👌🏾👏🏾

I've found even the Kia Sportage drivetrain calibration is poor, better in Eco mode but still needs work... so its not just the chinese, I find manually selecting a lower gear helps that weird acceleration

I did NOT think you were critical of any brand of car - you were purely factual. What I’d like to know is if these new brands have electric seats, or heated seats? How is the aircon, did you find it great. Has it got GPS? Just asking. I have a Jeep Cherokee, and love it to bits. But then we are talking over the million bucks mark. A well thought out and factual summary, thanks a lot.

Subaru mentioned 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

To this day I love this car… and I'm glad I own one.

why the interior of the tiguan oddly looks like a 15 years-old chinese car 🤔

Hi what is the fuel consumption liters per 100 km

Does that price include VAT?

Thank you for the review. You gave us some perspectives on how the Omoda C9 is. However, I am sure how your review would have been if you had gotten the weight of the vehicles right. You said a lot about the weight of the car and referenced it on many subjects of your review. Knowing the correct weight could have caused material changes to some of the claims you made. Either way, thank you for this review.

Hi

Whatever, I will choose Omoda 9.

I bought the 1.6 ltr turbo in Dubai. This 1.5ltr SA version is older model. The new gen model does not have a gear lever and has a large 10 inch touch screen. Very good car. Just the steering wheel is a bit light. You can turn it with one finger whilst parking. But the features are more than my wife's range rover. Very good car for the low cost.

How can a brand new Mercedes have such a crappy orange peel paint job?

Omoda c9 1.78 ton.

You're actually driving in my suburb, Blairgowrie 👍🏻😂

I find you very critical about Chinese cars drives , I have been driving a Chery for two years now with absolutely no issues , my partner drives a VW with a DSG gearbox which has been problematic since purchased new with a clunky gearbox , I have work colleagues that drive the TOYOYA across and hate it for lack of power etc , they prefer the drive my my Chery , I find that lately all car journalists criticise Chinese brands , the main establishment brands are not that good anymore and are pricy as well , so my view is we drive what we can afford and enjoy the ride

Buy German thank you.

Jolion boot space is horrible. My Suzuki Fronx, which is a much smaller vehicle has 305 liters of boot space.

Does the gl auto have the light bar or not

Отлично выглядит

Ваабше не понял а сколько стоимости машина

These cheap imports and cheap in R&D, subsidised by Chinese government is going to affect our local car manufacturing. Great for market choice bad for employment.

Omw this car is beyond bad

What a stupid review, you can’t compare a hybrid to a petrol car. At least be realistic if your going yo do car reviews

Cheap and too small a turbo can cause lag and inefficient pull off etc. Time will tell the actual worth or longevity of these Chyneese vehicles.

After renting a jolion with the erratic start off a fuel consumption of 12 l/100 km - this car is even more of a frightening purchase proposition. I wouldn’t touch it

Sean, look man. Uhmmm...I am on the fence on this one. I appreciate the wave of Chinese vehicles into our market, they're bold and packed with features. I think legacy brands have been charging us an arm and a leg for far too long. Problem is I'm yet to hear of any of the Chinese auto groups actually setting up assembly plants and parts warehouses in our country. It's all fun and games seeing the Chinese elbowing out the Europeans, Koreans and Japanese, until factories close down and people lose their jobs.

I guess ons should then wait for the dashing hybrid which should arrive next year😂

I think in terms of the market it's great for consumers in the long term because now we will see whats real value and whats not. The brands that will survive, legacy or not in my opinion are the one's that in the long term give consumers value. We've seen from history that when the Chinese or any other brands for that matter didn't give products that are good they didn't survive long term. Now some of the legacy brands are suffering because the other brands (some of them Chinese) have helped most consumers get away from badge bias and look at value. Thank you for an honest review. Can't wait to see your review of the new X3 from a "luxury" product perspective.

"as with all Chinese cars we have to take this out in the roads to see how it's like". Sean Nurse what are you driving at, betraying your bias there. Why couldn't you end at as with all cars!? Your negative view on Chinese cars showing.

Comparing this car to a hybrid makes no sense... compare apples with apples

We will know about the omodo reliability in a few years.

Can you review the Chery Tigo Pro 7 indepht please.🙌

The big problem is that the Chinese brands are all backed by the Chinese govt at a loss. The govt has deep pockets. SA needs its own brand to compete. Personally I won't touch a Chinese car I don't trust them. I also noticed the touchy accelerator and didn't like it.

I just watch Sean's videos to learn proper English 😂

Sean my Mann! Always the best in-depth reviews. My concern is Are we bashing the Chinese products this much on fuel consumption? Is it not because they still new cars? Do we have owners who can come forward and say ownership after say 45000km what is fuel consumption looking like? I mean somehow I do trust the Chinese for me only concern is there are just too many options now they literally confusing us🫢😮‍💨🤞🏾

Thanks for focusing on the drive. Too many reviewers barely touch on it. Next review Jaecoo J7, please!

Does it have park assist?

The tyres are indeed a huge brand in India. Unless the quality is extremely good they don't become big brands in India. Rest assured quality of tyres will prove eventually.

Please show us UK car events as well

Clearly paid by VW. Omoda is a superior vehicle.

Bro's shoes size!

I lov❤ VW. I drive a VW Polo ❤
