Glad to see more companies offering lighter interior colours, it makes it so much brighter and nicer inside. Shame about the AC controls, but at least it can be done via the steering wheel. I like that it's got the 60W USB PD charging by default, that'll be great for people who are working on the go and need to recharge their laptops.

Yep same, the Zeeker pretty much fixed all the issues I had with the EX30. They went too far down on scrapping things in the EX30 imho, it just felt/came of as cheap/cost saving all over the place. This actually looks good, has a HUD even with nav, has a small instrument panel which I do prefer, has a bigger screen, in a proper orientation that makes sense for nav, higher power USB-C, the doors look much better, with control on them. My only complaint would really be that I prefer a normal roof, not a glass one.

Then I saw the Zeekr and had to Google it to find out. Interesting but the design of the rear is imo a miss. But it is evident that the Chinese are starting to infiltrate the European market with whatever that means for the competition...

The Zeekr X, Volvo EX30 and Smart #1 aren't siblings. They're 3 cars from different brands working off the same platform (two brands are owned by Geely, yes, but they are distinct brands). Polestar and Volvo are sibling brands because Polestar was spun off from Volvo and they share so much. Zeekr and Lynk and Co. are sibling brands as Zeekr is a sort of premium BEV brand that shares with Lynk and Co. Whereas Smart is a Mercedes brand that has a joint venture with Geely, hence the use of the SEA platform that links the 3 cars together. What's on top of that platform and the tuning of the chassis is bound to be different. From a design standpoint, the Smart is a Mercedes design, the Volvo is traditional yet modernized Volvo Scandinavian room and Zeekr is something different. It's designed in Sweden but looks like it was intended for the Chinese market first. I don't expect these cars to drive and feel like the same car. I expect the Mercedes to have the most compliant ride with decent handling, the Volvo to have the firmest ride with competent handling and I don't know what Zeekr brings. I'm trying to figure out the point of this brand in what it may offer. Is it premium content for value? Maybe. Zeekr has to build their dealer and service network and we'll see what they are in time. It does sound like they've put together an appealing car overall though it seems Thomas found the Smart to be smoother and more fluid.

Geely doesn't slap Volvo badges on some other car that isn't designed and engineered by people at Volvo Cars. That's not how the Volvo/Geely relationship works. Volvo is very particular about the look/feel of their cars. Volvos are designed and engineered by Volvo, not by another brand. Volvo can choose to use a certain common format in the group, but they still are the ones responsible for the content of their cars. To think Geely just puts any badge on any brand in their group is fallacious.

I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess they wanted to simplify the opening and didn't want people complaining about an overly large flap if they kept it the same size. The chinese market car has two charging ports side to side so it needs a larger flap while the european CCS plug has the extra pins under the main plug and thus requires less horizontal space.

Not really, Chinese brands know that Europeans can afford something more expensive. Look at Xiaomi, the prices of their products over there are far cheaper than over here.

They're forced by the EU anti dumping laws to keep their prices higher (in other words, VW paid politicians wants them to rip off customers). GWM is already facing some legal difficulties for their competitive prices so no one wants to get in trouble

Quartic Steering wheel by Austin Allegro

I don't get it. Cars all look exactly the same in the interior now, maybe a slightly different wheel, slightly different tablet size. But otherwise, it seems "buying for the brand name" is becoming truer than ever before. And all Reviewers seem to praise the void in the interior. Only Peugeot still has an unique interior, arguably Volvo. But both are already 6+ years old designs, which I'm sure will be removed next refresh. Even Jaguar had a kind of unique interior with the opening AC flaps - removed last refresh for the exact same interior as this car has.

Peugeot's new style interior has essentially just come out as the new 3008 was revealed just recently. The design has a lot of the same from the previous generation but with more screens however it's still very unique.

Funny how you get 20+kwh/100km here, I guess it is mostly highway driving, but even then in China one can get ~16kwh (different speed limits and road conditions). That's why CLTC is 500km but WLTP is 400km. Will be curious to see what averages I get with mine (we don't do highways..)
