Neta S Driven - Is this the Best Value Chinese EV af All?

[@JetsetDruid]

£25k for the top AWD version is nuts, that thing would sell like hot cakes in the UK if they could get it here for that price

[@InsideChinaAuto]

It's incredible, and such a good car.

[@janwong3705]

Damn. Definitely an a big step up in terms of interiors compared to its earlier versions.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Tell me about it. I sat in a dealer's Neta V once and it was a pre-facelift version. My god. The dashboard looked like it was an aftermarket part that taxi drivers fit. Watching them recently has been like watching evolution happen in front of your eyes.

[@wwbren]

Many nice touches! I feel 60-40 folding seats should really be implemented.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Definitely. Sure it can be done even with the backrest adjustment.

[@user-gt2yf5tr8j]

Imagine these cars selling in europe or america with those prices!😅

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Would be game over for some of the boys and girls.

[@Ahda108]

[@magnatarbeing8749]

Much nicer design than a model-S.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

@@magnatarbeing8749 Would have to agree.

[@johnharris4600]

Great car this hope it comes to Melbourne, Australia

[@kckfen]

Neta X and S will be coming to Thailand and Malaysia.. Neta has joint venture to set up factory in these two country. If can pls do a review on Neta X as well. Not much review has been done on this car in English. Thanks

[@Pookgai420]

Why don’t you guys do comparison videos? There’s so many new Chinese EVs that it would be nice to see how they compare to each other directly.

[@cocoaiscool2709]

yeah imagine the chinese EVs drag race, maybe he could get Ethan and China driven maybe elliot too! like carwow of china

[@ciybersal3499]

Good idea,

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Hard to do them on my own, though I'd love to. Honestly, getting two competitors at the same time is hard enough. I have pitched it to Ethan before from Wheelsboy and he said only if it makes sense, so I guess we have to find a way to make it make sense.

[@JetsetDruid]

Be cool if you could do some content with the wheelsboy team, I like their content

[@InsideChinaAuto]

@JetsetDruid I've suggested it to them. They weren't too interested unless it makes money.

[@stevechilvers1322]

Really nice looking car, with great spec. If it comes to the UK, it will be interesting to see what the price will be. IF they could sell it for £28,000 to £30,000 they would sell loads of them, we shall see! A quick question, "The place you were filming - no cars or people"!!!! Like your videos, keep up the good work.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

It's a beautiful car and really well equipped. I hope they get to the UK. The filming location was on roads at the back of a kind of trade park, so nice and empty for filming without distraction. Kind of necessary when you're a one-man team.

OK, I've decided. I want a Neta S "coupe" NOT the Neta GT ! Can u ask Neta for the coupe version of S ? - Gr8 review btw. Subscrıbed 👍

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Haha. I'll be telling them that myself.

[@Boingftw]

Im really invested in the Neta GT, however, I believe when it comes to Europe the price will easily triple :\

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Oh, 100% likely. We can dream though.

[@agusedyanto3324]

Shipping costs to Europe are already very high! plus the high entrance fees the prices end up being crazy..lol

[@InsideChinaAuto]

@@agusedyanto3324 They can use the train now from Xi'an to Europe. That'll reduce costs.

[@SpaceBound-1]

Looks really good.

[@Lost_Johnny]

Another very interesting car to consider!

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Definitely. They've got a shooting brake version coming too.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Nice!! The blinking thing looks very much like a Tesla!! Elon Musk should be aware of this car because it’s going to ‘outTesla’ Tesla!!

That might be a stretch too far for it, but I'd take it on looks definitely.

Just started watching. That ch3mtrail caught my eye in 1:35. So they do ch3emtrail in China too? 😢 How intense is it in your opinion comparing to west? Please don't tell me it's contrails lol. Or clouds. I studied meteorology, and even if I didn't, I know how clouds look like. Or used to look like 😉 Great looking Neta BTW, gonna continue watching. Cheers.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Glad you enjoyed watching. Should focus on the car more. I have no idea what the trail was, whether it was a plane trail that's smudged with wind or something else.

[@no_clot_shot1128]

@@InsideChinaAuto cheers, focused on the car as I much as I liked. What it was n the skies I already told you, thanks nevertheless

[@no_clot_shot1128]

Neta is gaining yourself name in Thailand with that funny little model. New showrooms are appearing throughout Bangkok (not as many as BYD by far though). Not sure how this model gonna sell in hot and sunny thailand with that fishtank roof. Let's wait and see.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Definitely needs a sunblind cover but sure they can be bought. Their new stuff is 100% better than the V you're getting though.

[@mickfitz76]

I drive a Neta V. Was around 16k usd and has been flawless. I use it on Phuket Island and I only need to charge it once a week. Around $7 to charge the 40kwh battery. 14,000 kilometres has been excellent.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

[@john_barnett]

What was with the audio/video mixing of this video? It was like out of sync at some points

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Really? It should have been lined up. Not sure if it just didn't play back right for you. I've had that on KZbin videos before.

[@BMWHP2]

What surprises me, is that anyone could ever be surprised about the next 4-door salon EV in an seemingly endless line of boring 4-door saloons/sedans or SUVs for that matter. It would be a surprise is the bring a (for the EU) affordable 2-door hatchback or coupé. Designers are braindead windtunnel robots.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

This one is better than a lot of others out there but I get your point. I remember maybe a decade ago an article in Autocar asking if all cars would end up looking the same sure to really specific regulations on nose heights, headlights, etc. They may have been onto something. As for the 2-door coupe, may I interest you in a Neta GT?

[@stomybugsy12]

it's really nice❤

[@InsideChinaAuto]

It is, especially the front.

[@lyes.official]

When is it releasing to the public?

[@InsideChinaAuto]

It's already out in China for a while now. I think their other markets like Thailand will get it soon. Hopefully they'll break into Europe this year.

[@lyes.official]

do you like the Neta S or the Galaxy E8 better?

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Tough call. I prefer the S for looks, certainly, but I think the E8 edges it in other areas like the chassis, performance and interior. I'd take the rear seats from the S though. They were pretty lousy in the E8.

[@ydmf2]

That stupid window switch thing that VW started, ughhhhh.

Maybe tens of thousands of car models have been made, it's impossible if they don't look similar to each other, so it's better to judge which one has the higher value for money.

You should also give numbers in miles, not just kilometres. After all, you are from UK, are you not? :)

[@InsideChinaAuto]

I am indeed. I did that a while back and got out of the habit. I will try to revive it in future.

[@user-hx1op1gq7x]

I thought U.K also use metric system, like most countries in the world. Only the U.S is using the imperial, isn't it?

[@InsideChinaAuto]

@user-hx1op1gq7x Nope, UK is on miles instead of kilometres, and we also use gallons instead of litres, though our litres are marginally smaller than those in the US. We're a confusing people.
