WORLD FIRST!! Driving a CHEAP CHINESE SUV in OUTBACK Australia... Can it SURVIVE?!

[@fyks6447]

China has a lot more different terrain, such as hills,.desert, mountains, snowy ..etc than Australia, I suppose their cars have all been designed and testes in those terrains already!!

[@ljbembrnt]

in russia too. they are big on china cars.

[@mvnorsel6354]

They test them in Mohe, China , -28 in the winter.😅

[@candlelarbra5212]

Love this format. It's like talking to someone who owns one not just a reviewer. Would love to see this format in an unpaid video.

Done!

Ok, yea we need more roadtrip videos in different cars. Just some different things to spice things up 😎

It is a bit different! Glad you liked it

@@CarSaucecan you review the jetour cars? Especially the T2 it looks nice AND it’s cheap I’m not sure if there are jetour cars in Australia though

I have the GWM Cannon x(Chinese) I drove from Dubbo to Brisbane 800kms today composed easy overtaking road trains 2 years strong and still impressive always surprises me

[@Thinkofwhat]

Full alloy spare!!?? Now that is very very very rare these days:)

[@JamesZ888]

i heard recently that chery will start following in the steps of kia, by testing and tuning all their future cars in australia, should bode well for all future chery vehicle

[@CarSauce]

That’s awesome, hope they do this

[@pcprincipal345]

Chery sells in Turkey like crazy, it's the no. 1 car seller recently. What's better is that they sell cars with DCT dual-clutch transmission it's much better than shitty CVT.

[@letsseeif]

These cross country trips are gold in the car review world. Thanks Matt..

[@davidg5991]

Come on- Melbourne to Hamilton is all main roads that are sealed. You'd need to deviate for those gravel sections. I used to do that trip regularly and my 1984 Holden Camira survived it many times back in the mid to late 1980's. I'm sure the roads are a lot better now.

[@vincentmothapa2421]

He did mention that he deviated from the main roads

[@davidg5991]

@vincentmothapa2421 it's the title "Cheap Chinese SUV in OUTBACK Australia... Can it SURVIVE ". Even the gravel roads were nice and smooth. It was a disappointing "test" to drive it on essentially normal everyday roads. There was no "outback" driving at all. Any vehicle would survive the roads driven.

[@vincentmothapa2421]

@@davidg5991 Fair point, I hear you. Maybe next time he'll take it to rougher roads

[@Sam-wx4qx]

Hey...I am not sure where you actually drove, but going past Ballarat is not exactly outback.

[@Yirragee]

Hamilton is in the sticks too much agricultural ruined it. It's such a hole worst place I've lived. 20 years and still not a local 😅😂

[@markscott2215]

Nice review. Great job. One observation, directed at several reviewers. I think it’s time to quit complaining about driver monitoring systems. Manufacturers don’t have a choice but to fit them now for 5 stars. So criticise ancap, not the car brand. Apart from that, excellent review.

[@CarSauce]

Yes and no. I’m not mad it’s there, I’m annoyed it’s so poorly calibrated. Some brands, like BMW, have done a better job at making sure it recognises when you’re interacting with the infotainment display vs using your phone. Hope that makes sense 🫡

[@markscott2215]

Nice explanation mate. Cheers

[@divergentus]

Nice vid. Hope you can turn the brightness down of the displays, must kill your night vision from the glare otherwise...

[@2wheelsdriver]

Was thinking the same

[@mighty_bunny]

Really enjoyed this video format! Definitely wanna see more.

[@Usersf134ssk]

I wonder why geely is not yet entering your market. I think their okavango, azkarra, tugella, coolray, and monjaro can compete there. I personally own a Geely sedan and I chose it because of the better design, built, fit and finish among its other chinese rivals here. Tho i think Geely focuses more on the middle east, our current line up is a year behind from their latest offerings in china and the middle east.

[@aldenloo6424]

This is really a good and honest review on the real road drive experience. Very enjoying watching this video. tq

[@BK-mh3jg]

I am an owner of Chery tiggo 7 Pro 2024 so far I love it, economical and comfortable, I live in Gcc’s and temperature here gets upto 52C and AC blows cold air with no issues I don’t have any complaints but the only thing bothering me is that there is the little vibration that would make the passenger seat shakes and squeaks, the intro music also bothers me too, the reverse camera mode also is very slow at showing the live image, but overall I love it, great video mate, cheers

[@venasm]

hi, cheers from Bahrain! i'm thinking of cherry tiggo 4 pro, do you have any opinions about it?

[@BK-mh3jg]

@@venasm I didn’t like the Cherry 4 Pro shape even though they had the same engine, Cherry 7 pro looks more like European cars, and they have almost same price 6300 BHD on road from the agency with 1 million klm warranty, go to cherry showroom and check both of them, you will fall in love with tiggo 7 pro definitely 👍, if you have any other inquiries feel free to ask

[@venasm]

@@BK-mh3jg Hala walla welne3m my GCC sister/brother! Thank you for your advice and kindness! I already got the cherry tiggo 4 wallah it's really nice, and my perception changed of the way it looks lol, I think it's mainly the front diamond looking grill but it's grown on me. In the showroom this year the price is higher on the tiggo 7 (1500 bhd higher). Mabrook on your car, has it been doing well so far no issues inshallah? Allah ya36eek kheirha we yehmeek men sharha

On Easter Monday I drove my 10 year old Holden Cruze from Hamilton to Sydney. 13.5 hours.

[@martythompson6509]

Oh...and Hamilton isn't the outback mate.... It's just an outer Melbourne suburb really..... Go to Cameron's corner and back, then you can call it the outback....😅

[@Dave-gg6vl]

I’ll be honest I did enjoy this video over your usual banter with Jacob. You guys are both good just abit over the top with the back and forth with you guys.

[@ezy.from.now.on.]

It's quite bad bc of my Haval Jolion, i now hardly pay attention on the highway and its now just a habit. It just drives itself down highways so so well that i never worry.

[@CarSauce]

Makes driving more easy for longer journeys, I love it!

[@joshuafalken3312]

Should have gone into a state forest in there snowy mountains. Far more challenging roads that even Subaru's a known excel on.

[@mahcooharper9577]

I drove my AU Falcon to Ayers Rock last year, aircon flat out the whole way and got 7.2 litres/100km. And tbh I don't think many Cherys will do that after 23 years and 500000km.

I recently purchased Tiggo 7 promax AWD. Used to be a BMW man. I'm was pleasantly surprised by how far Chinese vehicles have come with quality. In the past we related Chinese products to being of poor quality but not with the Chery. Really impressed.

[@thecanberean]

Thanks for the review. All very interesting. BUT…Can you turn that annoying welcome music off? That’d almost be enough for me not to buy one.

[@alphablizzard]

stop that fffing noise Chery.

[@vk5ztv]

Outback? Between Melbourne and Hamilton? Seriously? If you really want to test it in the outback, try taking it up the Birdsville Track, or across the Simpson Desert like Mitsubishi did with the Outlander PHEV. It would be very interesting to see how it holds up in that sort of environment.

[@Australiacalling]

I do love watching your show, but did I hear you right, can it survive the Aussie outback and you drove from Melbourne to Hamilton in Victoria. Well, I think I need to give you a little lesson on what and where the outback is. I know and i nearly live there, well, some people think it's the outback, Exmouth WA,1250k's north of Perth, stinking hot, been over 49c and this summer, weeks and weeks of over 40c everyday and no rain for 8 months. But, the true outback really starts a few 100k's inland from Exmouth and I think you would die there. So, if you really want to test the Chery in the OUTBACK, start in Exmouth and head east, do the CSR, the Gunbarrel Hwy, good luck with that.

[@SuperMattb17]

Where is the Outback? I just saw a bit of country driving....

[@Yirragee]

Bourke is the outback but 1800kms is a bit far for the sauce 😂 Melb to hamilton is nice though. Beautiful Grampians ❤😊

I second barracking for cheap Chinese cars, despite what some boomers think; we aussies own NOTHING to legacy car brands over the Chinese because no one makes cars in Australia anymore. Chery, Haval (going back to Great Wall) and MG are very typical Asian car makers these days; Which means reliable, easy to service and repair, and great value. Things you just don't get from american or euro brands anymore.
