The GAC Trumpchi Empow Is A Chinese Honda Civic Si

[@isaacsmind5575]

Thank you for continuing to do this. You're really pleasing the automotive nerd niche that are interested in obscure, foreign automotive brands.

[@Scarbir]

If it’s more durable than most Mpow earbuds, it really is a nice offering. Great looks!

[@chadhugo2755]

😂🤣

[@felixramos9241]

Hey my mpow is still working after 2yrs..but the battery is nearing death lol

[@kneithelcayleocio4589]

@@felixramos9241 that's normal, you usually get a free one if it's still under warranty

[@wong924]

Curious to see if Empow can do well in China, after so many years Trumpchi remained stuck as a second tier local brand. BYD and Chery both have amazing growth but not Trumpchi.

You design and build a "sport sedan" then bless it with the perfect color... Grandpa's 1977 Oldsmobile Green

[@daweigo6851]

Ha ha 😁😁😁

[@someonecalledeulogio2280]

I unironically love the empow, and the oldsmobile

[@stanbimi]

This is an attractive car. For this price quite fabulous. Never heard of GAC, had to google to find out it is not part of Geely..

[@TheCarSouls]

Great looks, great value and much more interesting than most budget friendly cars. Certainly makes a lot of Euro stuff seem rather uninspiring.

[@jianyang6281]

not even close to a standard of a "good car"

[@imwsss726]

The DCT transmission on this car ruins everything about driving…Extremely sensitive for small pedal request, very uncomfortable , but response extremely slow when you give it full throttle. Definitely one of the worst powertrain tuning among the new ICE cars in 2021.

[@123fourfive5]

That's every dct lmfao. Two ways around this. 1. Throttle controller. 2. Put it in sports mode Or, just get used to it. My skoda does the same thing so now I press the throttle sooner to skip the lag.

[@imwsss726]

@Alex M It like the old VW DQ250 from earlier years, but those new VW/Skoda/Audi models are much better.

[@estmeta]

@@imwsss726 I suspect Trumpchi used the C635 DDCT from FIAT partnership, or the C725 7 speed one.

[@awaisyousaf]

I just love this channel, your content is very enjoyable.

[@johndaily9869]

Some say that it has the Burmester exhaust pipe😆, and some say that it drives like an AMG😆

[@chrisdooley6468]

Ahh the Trumpchi! Haven’t seen one of these since that last season of Top Gear. Does it still have that 3spd automatic I wonder lol 😆

[@jus1029ph]

1. The 3-speed auto mentioned was for the Roewe 350. The Trumpchi GA5 had a 5-speed auto. 2. 7-speed dual clutch

[@benrgrogan]

@@jus1029ph I don't recall the 350 ever having a 3 speed. SAIC cars of the time usually had a 4 speed at worst.

[@jus1029ph]

@@benrgrogan Must've been a mistake on May's part as he did say on the program "3-speed automatic w/ overdrive"

[@jasonjaafar]

@@jus1029ph which means it's a 4-speeder. 3 speed + 1 overdrive.

[@KuchingKingVideoGamer]

You mean Roewe which is MG now

[@123fourfive5]

This looks awesome. I just wish it had a bigger engine

[@Sarielal77]

2 liter engine is out now :D

[@jw3885]

Like it, is the spoiler optional? Thinking it may look cleaner without it

[@Guderian0617]

For USD20k you get an engine on four wheels with some seats thrown in and not much else. The waiting list is literally months, and there is next to none after sales services.

[@homeaway0]

If they throw in the 250 hp engine it would be perfect deal

[@NYANPASS-CHEN]

By the way, based on many Chinese auto authors, it's nearly impossible to get 0-100 time under 7 sec, Most of them get the result of mid 7 to mid 8 seconds.

[@liamkylepalisoc8295]

The empow can do it in 6.95 seconds, it's been tested and proven. Even in our country, philippines

[@jaffarbaqi]

Great presentation. Shame you said nothing about the NVH and ride quality.

[@Wheelsboy]

Thank you for your support! Apologies for not being more specific about the ride quality and NVH. The ride quality is quite nice, and does a good job of filtering out bumps and potholes. NVH is also pretty good, no excessive wind or tire noise during our time with the car. Put simply, it would make a good daily commuter.

[@johngrubb1590]

I do like this car if they did the car in RHD I'd have one tomorrow in the same colour as well.👍👍

[@d33pNacho]

A car like this with manual transmission and a good guarantee under 20k euros would sell loads in Europe

[@蔡泽锴]

they don't effort MT on the market

[@Schreibtisch1]

That would be awesome, but I think the problem for with european market is that they have to reach the high standards in mileage, emission and safety.... Those three things would make the car a lot more expensive. And the european market is already full and europeans tend to buy SUVs and crossovers.

[@jasonjaafar]

Is that an AP Royal Oak? Or a homage? Very distinctive. Good man!

[@bottlely]

Can you guys do a review on the Buick Weilang/Verano Pro GS? I find Buick China’s marketing pretty curious, especially with things like their GS racing and crossover off-roading programmes. Edit: Plus, it seems like a natural competitor to this Empow; slightly more power and marketed as a tuner car. Even though it uses a CVT

[@worldolivier]

The interior is déjà vu

[@erikpetrie637]

This looks like the love child of a Mercedes and a Toyota Corolla

[@LaowaiDaveJCP]

The car reminds me of green tee flavoured KitKat 😍

[@mojosphinx23]

No bias review. I like it

[@paranoiddaydreamer4370]

Bad news: The Empow had almost became a stereotypical "ricer's ride" by now, just like the Honda Civic. It's not that uncommon to see these already agressively-designed sedans being heavily modified with mostly cosmetic parts.

[@Yanga_Ngesi]

I would love to see this in South Africa🙏🏿

[@hupeter2560]

BEST CHOICE FOR NEW GHOST FIRE GUY

[@mluu510]

looks better than a honda civic si! i love it

[@testdriveph]

Uughhh I so want one. This or the MG GT?

[@liamkylepalisoc8295]

Try to use the shifters to control your speed better and you'll speed through. But if you're not good with a manual, stick with pounding the gas.

[@wolfgang6319]

I'm in love with this car

[@cupplaz7389]

Is it faster than the Changan uni v

[@flyingbeep]

I get Hyundai Elantra GT-Line vibes from this one

[@betto3681]

感谢你能够把中国汽车做给海外友人！

[@elhakimz1]

I don't understand why Chinese automakers bother them selves developing DCT's while torque converter are way more simple and equally efficient nowadays

[@Sarielal77]

Please review the 2 liter engine of this car in R version . Please please please. Or even better a comparison with the MG7 :D

[@manasyt]

Trumpchi :D Every time I see this name I burst laughing

[@lamia197]

Hyundai called, they want their Avante AD back lol one of my friends in China got this and its the joke we make a lot. He says its a alrite car, although we do hate the fake exhaust sound.

[@corndawgz]

does it come with a 30 day 1000 mile warranty?

[@paranoiddaydreamer4370]

It comes with a 36-months or 100000km warranty, if you're really that into the sour grapes...

[@gj9544]

Dude the rear looks exactly like like the Toyota Corolla Altis

[@bradleybprentice1497]

Looks like an MG I recently spotted in Bangkok.

[@hupeter2560]

New MG looks too aggressive.....by the way MG is 100% Chinese company now.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I’m surprised that this car costs €13,000 in China, but there, an Audi A3 sedan is like €30,000, and the GAC has more more power.

[@jeffreywong5112]

Outer color should've been mica red or wine red to match interior

[@M.Elyami]

Gs8 2023 please 🙏 not one video covers all its features, there's so many

[@Sabloschi]

Is cool! Lovely color!

[@shlomomarkman6374]

When i saw the car in the video i got a feeling i had seen this car before. Went out to the parking lot and saw a 90% match to my old Honda (Insight ZE3). Naughty copycat boys... Current Insight ZE4 (which is more similar looking) can be also considered a "sporty" car by this metric with similar sized engine (with VTEC and CVT), In reality both are timid hybrids. Also, nothing too sporty about the engine and with fake noise... China has good EVs or ultra cheap EVs but they better leave the ICE cars to the pros

[@buntafujiwara3289]

it's 16k

[@marcelinod7189]

Reliability and durability is the issue? Can this car brand Match Toyota and Honda and Mitsubishi's long term durability? That is always the question

[@nelsonongteleng2789]

Gac Empow or MG GT?

[@KuchingKingVideoGamer]

MG GT is much cheaper

[@bequiet2824]

对于我们中国人来说，我们还有很多更好的选择。不过传祺也不错的车！😄

[@thefrog6065]

This car has become a complete joke on the Chinese internet. It's not necessarily a bad family sedan, but GAC's ridiculous ad campaign makes everything look worse. I am really sick of those sporty-looking family sedans being advertised as something like AMG and I am glad that more customers have stood out to voice their opinions.

[@Qureshi00_]

I LIKE the look of it______

[@RG-di5yc]

The back looks like corolla which have tailplane

[@damonlee226]

not bad, but it looks like a new Sentra and a Forte baby. the body is sleek with cool rear lights, but no originality...as we have enough already copycats, and the interior is very cool..but is it built and engineered well? even tho it can't be any worse than a Dodge Dart, Nissan Sentra, or a fully plastic Chevy Cruze.

[@introverted.magic.shifters]

the rear looks like a type r and the front looks like a mazda 6

[@hanhan2360]

So they almost called it the God Emperor Trump. Okay. It looks good in places, but I'm not 100% sold on it.

[@ricg2005]

I. Like to see this with other chinese brand toe to toe friendly race. No need to compete with Japanese or american car. Since here in Philippines there's a POV Japan is jealous of China. Western didn't won't having a war, plague etc .😂

[@poovaneswaransupramaniam19]

The fact that you can't openly criticise Chinese cars in this channel speaks volumes

[@xiaoranzuo4623]
