Thank you very much 🫠 You really, really made my day. Please tell your friends about MrChia SG ok! 🙏🏼

Thank you so much. It really means a lot 🥲 We’ve a couple of new video reviews out now and plenty more to come!

The G01 certainly was a handsome car, no doubt about that!

the x3 is designed for mainland chinese market. thats why it looks horrible now. interior caters to customer who wants their car to look like Asus ROG laptop.

@@TMS5100 that could well be, but the fact of the matter is, 41% of the G01 X3 went to the US market

@@MrChiaSG x3 sales figures for 2022: US = 65800 europe = 61,224 china = 112,819

Oof! Definitely agree that the new interior is not for everyone

@@MrChiaSG they abandoned the opening sunroof, no more tacora red interior option, no more rear ambient lighting. this is not an upgrade. i think the 2024 models are going to be come real popular very soon!

@@TMS5100 do you think younger people might prefer the new interior? I'm old so I don't know!

A Camry is around 20% more expensive here

B58😂

That’s a real tough question! I haven’t driven the E 450 (we don’t have that in Singapore) but I’ve tried the same engine in the CLE and it’s a gem. Sounds great, pulls hard… I love it! But an X3 and E-Class comparison is really apples-to-oranges. Do you have a lot of stuff to carry (like mountain bikes)? How about kids to drive around? How much do you value a more traditionally posh interior, like the E 450’s? I think it’ll come down to whether you need the extra space of an SUV. If you don’t, it’ll come down to what you think of the BMW’s minimalist interior versus the Mercedes’ more traditional cabin

@@MrChiaSG thanks for answer. In short I don't need so much space (one kid etc..). For me all comes down to : sitting position (higher..) ,ground clerance , b58 vs 6cyl.in merc ,quality of materials inside the cabin or easy of use multimedia… Anyway based on your experience (you drive a lot of cars..) what would you choose for yourself and why (between these two)?

Totally agree that the X3 20 is good enough! Although to be fair, it needs the same COE as the X3 M50...

Yes! You just push a button if I remember correctly

@@MrChiaSG Thanks for the quick reply :D Have a nice day.

It's still a relatively small brand, even though Geely is huge. Zeekr produced roughly 10,000 cars a month on average last year, and about 15,000 a month so far this year

I grumbled about the same thing in my X2 review 😂

Probably something ridiculous like 500k. It's singapore afterall

lol close! About half of that.

Thanks for sharing! And thanks for the kind word 🙏🏼

Great qn! The next one in line is the 009. Zeekr does intend to have a wide product line-up for SG so it seems likely that the 7X will also come. Once you see RHD production, the chances are gonna be high!

@@MrChiaSG Thanks! I'll look into the 009. I feel that for the price of the Zeekr X, the Xpeng G6 is a better option. Price is similar, it's longer, more interior space, larger trunk. The 7X does seem to be the best choice, all the brilliant features packed into the car.

@@AlvinCydis you might be right - the G6 is selling very well, we hear! We're gonna test it next month, so stay tuned for our review! Keep an eye out for our test drive vid of the Zeekr X Flagship coming soon, too :)

That's the #5! I have a video on the production version of that car coming out soon 😀 I hope 😅

Tell us what you really think! 😄 What are we to make of the fact that it’s the best-selling Rolls, though 🤔

lol 😂

The currency is different!!!!!

They really look nice, don't they!

Hi there, that's a good question. When choosing between them I'm guessing you consider factors like size, boot space, fuel efficiency, and warranties to be important? Here's a breakdown to help you make the best choice. Size and Dimensions In terms of overall size, the Toyota Corolla Cross is the largest of the three, with a length of 4,460 mm, giving it a more substantial presence on the road. It’s also the tallest at 1,620 mm, which may provide a higher driving position and better visibility. The Kia Niro Hybrid is slightly shorter at 4,420 mm, but it has the longest wheelbase at 2,720 mm, offering more interior space, especially for rear passengers. The Hyundai Kona Hybrid is the most compact, measuring 4,350 mm in length and 1,570 mm in height. This makes it a great choice for those who want something nimble for city driving. Boot Space If boot capacity is a priority, the Hyundai Kona Hybrid comes out on top with a boot size of 466 litres, which expands to 1,300 litres with the rear seats folded down. The Kia Niro Hybrid is not far behind with 451 litres of space, while the Toyota Corolla Cross offers 425 litres of boot space. So, while the Corolla Cross is the largest in overall size, it provides the smallest cargo capacity. Fuel Efficiency When it comes to fuel consumption, the Kia Niro Hybrid leads with an impressive 4.0 L/100 km, making it the most fuel-efficient option. The Hyundai Kona Hybrid follows closely at 4.7 L/100 km, while the Toyota Corolla Cross consumes more at 5.3 L/100 km. If saving on fuel costs is important to you, the Niro is the best choice. Warranty Comparison All three cars offer 5-year warranties, but there are some differences: - Kia Niro Hybrid: Covered for 5 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first. The hybrid battery is backed by a 10-year warranty with unlimited mileage. This warranty is transferable if the car is sold within the warranty period. - Hyundai Kona Hybrid: Like the Kia, Hyundai offers a 5-year or 100,000 km warranty with a 10-year hybrid battery warranty and unlimited mileage. It’s also transferable to a new owner. - Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid: Toyota provides a longer general warranty of 5 years or 130,000 km. However, the hybrid battery warranty, while covering 10 years, is limited to 200,000 km. This is less flexible compared to Kia and Hyundai’s unlimited mileage coverage. To conclude, I'd say the Kia Niro Hybrid excels in fuel efficiency and offers (marginally) the longest wheelbase, making it ideal for drivers who want more interior space and lower fuel costs. The Hyundai Kona Hybrid offers the most cargo room and compact size, making it perfect for city driving. Meanwhile, the Toyota Corolla Cross stands out with its larger dimensions and a more generous general warranty, but slightly less fuel efficiency and cargo space. Each car has its strengths, so your choice should depend on your specific needs-whether it's more space, better fuel economy, or a stronger warranty. If you want to arrange a test drive, let me know! Happy to help :)

Hi 👋🏻 The black interior is part of the Carbon Edge package

@@MrChiaSG Thanks for your reply. Is it an official option? I really want this but i'm not in singapore. Is it available to buy from oversea? thank you

@@thiagong9627 I'm so sorry, I don't know about markets outside of Singapore. I hope you get the interior you want, though!

I don’t follow 😅

You're very welcome 😃

It really is! And it goes so well with that black trim

Vielen dank! 😀

Hope you mean crazy good!

I think that's fair, and good feedback for Audi. It's looking more and more like the first e-tron was really a stopgap EV for the brand. I have to say, the e-tron GT is pretty dope, and the latest cars are on a bespoke EV platform, so their range and space packaging are way better.

It's a 5 year warranty. Not sure if they offer free servicing but Skodas generally need servicing once a year

Afraid not! You'll have to keep the vehicle running to keep the climate system on

@@MrChiaSG I miss the seats converting into a bed, like they did in the T3 Multivan I have, and the big folding table from the side of the car (it has only sliding door on the right side)

@@neubauertamas5978 That's such a great feature, isn't it!

It's a tax thing 😪 We just do it the old fashioned way and borrow like hell. A Camry costs more than US$180,000 here

@@MrChiaSG Omg. And I thought cars were expensive in South Africa. The new E200 starts at the equivalent of USD 67,000 here or 87,000 Singapore dollar. That's crazy. But I'm assuming salaries are in line with the cost of living there. At least I hope. It definitely isn't in most parts of the world anymore. Everything has become too expensive.

@@SDav21 That’s a whole ‘nother discussion 😄 Beautiful country, South Africa! 🇿🇦

Congratulations 🎉👏 It's really nice, isn't it 🙂 I prefer it to the X1

@@MrChiaSG more fun the oiled screen is a blast 😎

These are prices for Singapore

The red? It’s 🔥!

Possibly! I can't think of another mpv as cool 😎

Man, that’s weird! The US tends to get things pretty quickly. It’s launching in Singapore next month (September) so… hopefully soon for you guys?

I saw one today driving around near Washington DC

Pricing is out... But it is not Worth.. especially when the range is so low.. just another mediocre EV that is 10 yrs behind tesla tech

@@chocolatecoca Can your tesla fit 7 peoples? No? Than buy the Buzz and shut up...
