Lexus ‘Rolls-Royce’ 7-Seater - the £200,000 LM and all the best new cars at the Shanghai Auto Show!
Mat has travelled over to China to attend the Shanghai Motor Show, and he’s about to present to you his A-Z list of the best cars due out over the next few years!
There are a whole host of different cars here, of all different shapes and sizes. For example, he’ll take a close look at the BYD Seagull - a small all-electric hatchback that will cost from just £10,000! What’s more, the range-topper will still have a claimed range of 252 miles. There are, of course, a host of other Chinese cars on show here, including the all-electric Hiphi Y and Hiphi X (no prizes for guessing where the inspiration for the names came from).
But it wasn’t just Chinese brands on show. There were all-new cars from global, world-renowned brands here. BMW unveiled the i7 M70, the 660hp edition of the all-electric 7 Series. The all-new Polestar 4 was also unveiled, as well as the new Volkswagen ID.7 saloon.
Not only that, but there are a number of crazy autos on show, including a huge off-roading camper van called the Armadillo!
Either way, this is one video you don’t want to miss! The only question is, what’s your favourite car on show here? Let us know in the comments!

Your welcome
You can always count on Mat to travel the world to bring you the best content. Enjoyed this video, and hope you had fun in Shanghai!
He ate a dog
i love how Mat does not care about being so close to people and not caring about what others think phenomenal guy 👍
Well all I can say is the Chinese are far more adventurous in their designs than Europe and probably the rest of the world! 👏👍😀
@@fukuoka33 Except for KARLMANNKING (Concept), all cars are available for purchase in China. If you can buy one, I would love to provide their purchase links to you. They will be with you and be ready to drive within 2-8 weeks of waiting period.
@@fukuoka33 none of these? come to China and you will find out those cars are on the road massively
because they dont have the high amount of buyers
@@DreacoPlays China is the biggest car market in the world though. More cars sold than anywhere in the world.
@@Ravensroy china cars don't have more sales than germans or italians, they can test different designs cause they don't have a signature design like bmws grill, mercedes interior, etc
Matt being thrown off the Lexus stand is a badge of honour.
Matt is too handsome and disturbed the ugliness of the Lexus. 😀
Absolute joke supposed to be a car show lol
@@Tarten21 this car is more less similar to an Alphard.
@@antekqwe yep. The Lexus Van literally combined Alphard and LFA to a full effect.
@@purwantiallan5089 I have to admit I felt offended when you compared that car to the LFA. I suspect Lexus themselves would too.
That U9 looks better in the grey and really start to grow on my with the looks. 0-100km in 2s is insane for $125k! This cost less than the extras for ICE cars that performs remotely close to this figure.
Yes that car alot better in Gray than Yellow Color version! Lol
0-60 mph not 100km , has to be all figures 0-62mph then is 100km
I'm looking forward to see how fast it is on a track. That 4 wheel independent hydraulic suspension is powerful enough to send the car airborne while sitting still, and is quick enough to make multiple adjustments every second. On a track it would mean it can constantly optimize suspension travel and stiffness at every wheel throughout the track.
I’m from Shanghai and a huge fan of you. I used to go to the Shanghai Auto Show with my dad when I was a kid. A lot of good memories!
Matt and his team was able to make a video look so professional with so many people around. Impressive.
Matt and his team did their job! Bravo!
Zeekr 009 is an all-electric luxury minivan is better.!
Not their job or anything
@@cosmoray9750 ew
I cracked up at all the chinese people staring at him so awkwardly and taking photos
Mat is really putting some effort to make great content . 👍
Yeah! A pity he didn't Vaseline his fingers before giving us a peep at that glitzy Lexus people carrier.
@@sonicstep this Lexus apparently Alphard 2.5.
ABSOLUTE BS CONTENT
Does he own car wow
This is crazy how china has been coming along all this year with car design and quality. really impress! great work, their car market is growing so fast....
The best thing is you can always get an EV at a proper price in Chinese market. You can get an affordable EV here only cost 10k with 400km range. You can also get a model3 under 30k. If you dont like tesla, you still have many other choices with similar performance and function. I hope one day I can lease a BYD EV here in the UK.
Quality? What about all those burning cars?
@@dansihvonen8218u meaning Tesla?
@@dansihvonen8218 all EVs are somewhat more of a fire hazard, that's just lithium being lithium.
@@MRTY323 Why hide it then?
I have been following Car Wow when this channel used to have 100k subscribers now it’s over 8 million. Delighted to see this channel grow & Matt is still the same. Love from Bangladesh ❤️
Thought the Alphard and the Velfire is already very luxurious but damn.
Thought the Alphard and the Vellfire already looked ridiculous but damn! ;)
And so unbelievably overstyled lol 😂
@@DRMCC0Y obv what kinda modern luxurious car would not have a big ass grill that doesn't even work, but at least it looks better than w/e tf BMW is coming up with.
@@Nobeyx Absolutely agree. I always find it funny whenever I see the prev gen alphards though, they look hilarious
@@DRMCC0Y 2018 model? Because yeah they look absolutely stupid, wait till you see the 2023 one 🤣
I am actually on my feet clapping my hands for you, you are truly a car journalist, Being able to do all of that with that crowd is amazing because i can imagine how loud that room was. i could see other journalist but they were in one spot. you have my respect. Good Job
As always, you make the best car content. However I’m a bit disappointed you just skipped the Xpeng, it’s very interesting. Hope you will cover it in another video later on. Keep it up!
The more EV options out there on the market, regardless of which country or brand, the better it is for the general consumers like you and me. More options, better value for money, companies will compete hard in the EV segment.
The BYD Seagull is absolutely fire! Cheap due to implementation of Sodium Ion batteries, which are more sustainable than Lithium Ion. Has good range for the size. Absolutely what I wanted to make when I finished my university degree!
The only problem is the long charge times but if you threw in the option of a small range extender that would be spot on. Sodium is a better overall chemistry but people want those headline figures of how fast it will charge - even though most chargers don't support it anyway.
There's a problem. The BYD Seagull uses lithium-ion batteries instead of sodium-ion batteries. If it used sodium-ion batteries, it would be cheaper.
@@SirTree-hr2rv Like how much cheaper? I feel like 10k for a new small electric car is really cheap given that you can find good used gasoline cars for no less than 7k. (7k I am considering in CAD, not Pounds which I imagine the 10k is)
This is a rumor，byd seagull is lfp battery
Seagull is using lithium ion battery, not stadium ion. It will use stadium ion battery later and lower the price.
That Hiphi Z is the most cyberpunk thing I have seen in real life. It's insane and I love it.
wait to see it at night
yeah, i think it will be available overseas in the future! Which is really amazing car
Seriously so many of the cars look like they would fit in perfectly in the Cyberpunk universe. The future is getting closer
Apparently it also performs well too. Chinese auto journos have been able to track it, and have given positive reviews of its driving dynamics.
BYD Yang Wang U8 got over 13,000 orders in two days. It's a 1 million RMB off-roader. Crazy.
@@fukuoka33 so nowadays they even hire people who can barely speak English to post hate comments about China? Geez..
Nice video,great show and beautiful cars. Thanks
This Lexus "out-Maybach'ed" the EQS.
Most definitely 😅😅
That Lexus is beautiful 😍
The world's nastiest car. Congrats Lexus.
The EQS being this mid doesn't help at all...
@@carholic-sz3qv is it possible?
20:21 The Zeekr X only has automatic doors in the front and the rear button can pop out the rear door (manually operated). And for people who haven't heard of this brand, Zeekr is basically a Chinese version of Polestar based on the same SEA platform from Geely (which owns Volvo), its first car Zeekr 001 is a large EV shooting brake and quite successful in the past two years.
Polestar 4 is the same car as zeekr 001
the chinese having zero creativity and copying what others are doing? that's impossible.
@@Dan-ce3sd 😢😢Am I hearing you right？Both Volvo and Geely contributed on that platform…..And Zeeker and polestar both owned by Geely.
People in china don't know much about polester 4 but they do know zeekr 001 as a better option than benz s class and bmw i7
@@Dan-ce3sd All these brands: Volvo, polestar, Lotus, Zeekr are now owned by a Chinese company Geely. They sometimes share platforms and other techs like Volkswagon do
Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Always funny and good to watch.
I've been waiting for this coverage for some while. Reminds me of the early glory days of ICE car when you have new brands emerging everyday, but it the end, only the big players got to stay. In the Chinese EV market, BYD is undoubtedly the biggest player currently looking for worldwide expansion. Thanks to the European connection from Geely, you may expect the Zeekr brand sooner or later. I've heard Nio had started leasing their cars in EU. Just a hint of what newer EV brands you might get in EU in the future. In the end, it's the competition among big players that benefits the consumers with the right product at a right price.
Very happy to have met Matt at the show, pleasantly surprised when he came to the Lamborghini stand to cover the Revuelto. Great coverage of the show and love the content. Keep up the good work.
Impressed with the sliding infotainment screen on the Zeekr X
👍
No way! Mat was in Shanghai! Welcome and it’s good to see you making the video for the shanghai auto show! Lovely!
So Happy to see Mat Back in China doing these Reviews :) 🥰
Fantastic content Mat! I truly enjoy the videos. Also, I am quite impressed by the Chinese EVs. I never even heard about some of these brands, but the design and specs are impressive especially for the quoted prices!
Slowly Chinese brands will be all over the world.
That Zeekr X at the end is a particularly good value. The top trim AWD version that can hit 60 in 3.7 seconds costs only 35k USD in China! For a fully electric fully loaded compact luxury crossover!
Because they steal all of the technology
Awesome video keep up the good work enjoy watching it
I really find the Seagull interesting since it isn't using lithium batteries with all those rare metals. Must be the most eco friendly vehicle that is in production. Battery development is going to be interesting to follow
No Mat's jumped the gun and got wrong info. Those initial Seagulls will be using BYD's famous LFP blade lithium batteries. It is RUMORED that BYD has some of the first even sodium ion batteries ready for mass production, perhaps as soon as later this year, and because those batteries are cheap but offer less range, the first car they will go into would be this cheap little Seagull. But BYD is famously tight lipped, and don't reveal anything until they are literally ready to go into production.
Those are my very favourite Videos from Matt! Leading us through a Car Show. Dont get me wrong i love the Reviews etc. as well. But these are even more fun and interesting to watch! Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
Chartreux, these SUVs looked cool.
Hi Mat, looks like you're enjoying your good self at the show. As you sure should...Very nice description of all vehicles. Thank you and all the best...Andre..
These SUVs apparently are as amazing as it gets.
The cheap BYD seems like a good option for commutor specific driving. Not a super long range and it doesn't charge as fast, but it's cheaper. I imagine that the battery is cheaper to replace as well.
In the UK price will be jacked up!
The Yang Wang U8 and U9 are truly impressive.
Having sat in Toyota Alphard, Vellfire and Estima for long distance trips, they are super comfortable and I think it's the best vehicle to be chauffeured around despite the controversial boxy exterior. Don't need to bend down just to get in like executive sedans and limo. The ones I sat in was not even top of the range (Executive Lounge is the highest range I think, much much more posh). Can't imagine how the Lexus feels like. They are the luxury version of Toyota.
Yeah pretty comfortable for a toyota, still no match for the like of s class
@@ramadhanisme7 but you can’t bring your family and nannies in S class
Give me a Toyota Vellfire V6 ( Executive Lounge) and I'd be a very happy man. 😊
Well, you need to try some nowadays Chinese people carriers, if you have any chance. The comfort they provide to you makes alphard-kind Japanese vehicles total rubbish.
@@v8beater hell no, a sedan or saloon is more than enough for my family, no need for the third row seat 🤣🤣
professional as always ! Keep up the good work !
Yep. Quite clear.
I am quite pleased to see how chinese automobile industry has been evolved to. Big thanks to Matt and his team who cover and made this high quality contents.
Top tour guys. Really envious.
YESSS, Please do some more if these car show videos, these are my favourite carwow videos
Designers : how much the front end should resemble a fence net?? Lexus : yes.
Yep. Lexus also says HOLD MY BEER.
How long before the entire vehicle becomes a grill I wonder...
Some of the new models are making Wartburgs look attractive.
Absolutely brilliant work!
Lexus LM looks amazing. Won't mind getting one.
surprised how normal the lambos look in this video great vid man
I love the design of the HiPhi Z, glad that they bring it to europe.
HiPhi Z in case you curious, maybe cost $300.000, KAVELAB.
@@purwantiallan5089 the chinese electric car will burn you alive.
looks like a gtr
$100,000 for sale right now here in China.
@@adrianminarik3538 Yeah, first thing that came to mind 🤔
China is leading in various industries, but people all over the world are still mocking. China's continuous progress is admirable.
Soo great video! So the longer the review here the more likely Mat will get to test drive it in UK eventually 🤔🤞🏻😁
I see that some people here don't like the desing of the Lexus LM, but you gotta believe me, the design on this generation is a LOT tamer than on the previous gen in order to fit EU taste better. Personally I think it looks very cool, and it's a totally new thing on the EU market. Luxury minivans like this have been around for quite a while in Asia, but in Europe this is all new.
Nice video! Good to see something a little different!👍
Agree.
I live how Matt pushes past people and still can make professional grade content in an open environment full of people... Only Matt!!!!!!
Brilliant to see so many lightning powered vehicles. I’d have to agree with Matt, the Yangwang U9 would be my pick; for the name alone. 😂
nahh... the reason to get it is it does a donut and 300kph+ .
Hey man, welcome to the show, again. Unfortunately I have to work for the week and not able to go. Not sure if you would be doing some road show or wandering around the country. Wish you good luck.
Chinese car brands are going to take over, amazing progress in a short space of time.
Agree. It’s reminds me what Jeremy Clarkson said in China episode
if only the US imports Chinese cars, cuz there are so many cars that are relatively cheap and good bang for the buck, and having them here in the US can really change the market up and the pricing of the new cars released here. But guess its prob not gonna happen because US doesn't want that.
Engine technology is not as good as Japan and Europe, so they can only develop electric car
@@Jimmylil1994 internal combustion engine needs long time to develop
Just watch "China's Flagship EVs are Exploding in Huge Numbers" and then come back. China knows how to make things look good while actually they are not.
glad to see Mat is here to show the latest autoshow. Just wondering if there is any comments about Nio, LI Auto? quite interesting brands indeed.
Love your efforts! 🔥🔥
Love these motor show videos
Agree.
All these practical cars for doing the shop to Aldi !!. Matt you are a Gem !!.
That Lexus looks ultra luxurious!
Watched fully , I should say good job Matt
Amazing stuff! The £10k car could be a bit of a game changer.
Nice to meet you Matt.. as I mentioned we are actually building a race track and the only drag strip in China (Luanzhou international circuit). Will invite you to our opening
It was great to see the Revuelto get shown in this video. So looking forward to a drag race and review compared to the Ultimae.
Amin. Wish we also see Alphard vs LFA drag race.
BYD U9 will bye bye the Revelto. Lamborghini is living in the past and regulation will kill it if it doesn't changes.

Don’t forget to get a free ice cream at the mini brand exhibitions. It’s exclusive to foreigners.
笑死我了
Great video, really entertaining, and the Polestar 4 looks fantastic.
Really don't like their rear window decision.
@@savedfaves the Polestar 4 imo looked like VW IDR on the inside but looked like Chevy SSR on the outside.
So... the only way to increase rear headroom was to ditch rear window? Lazy ass engineering.
China is leading the electric industry because they are smart. They are giving you electric cars while they take your combustion engines cars cus they know which one is more fun, proven, cheaper and faster at the pump
16:22 Matt is hilarious to just hop into that guy's camera view and block him 😂😂 I watched the entire thing because he's the coolest chilled out reviewer out there tbh 😂
Thanks for this amazing brief
That armadillo is a beast 😮
It has 690bhp.
That Lexus is actually in the 4th generation people carrier originally started life as Toyota Alphard in 2004. A sportier version was also available as Toyota Vellfire and both were sold as either 7 seater, 8 seater and 6 seater and super spacious 4 seater Royal Lounge. Go google.
Lexus 4th Gen SUV gonna dethrone Alphard.
Love this!
my favorite was when you said the new Porsche suv wasn't available in Europe. The best news I've heard in a while
That lexus looks so cool
No kidding it is exaggerated to the extreme and just plain ugly
@@prawdziwyateista11lat50 for me that isnt ugly. It is cool.
So ugly
I like the design of Zeeker X and the price of the car is pretty low. The dual motor version is only 210k CNY(less than 30k dollars). BTW, welcome to China Matt.
Welcome to ultimate Chinese Stores.
Man thar Zeekr is ugly as hell. I see some on the roads. So cheap so plastic. Especially the tail light. I don't get it why Chinese would buy it. Chinese are not know for fashion or design that why they hire foreigners. But Zeeker a 1 day pop up half spin ugly as hell. Than rather buy a NIO or Polestar thats way more slicker
17:23 - The "brand" is not TANK - it's a Great Wall Motors (GWM) who already make a lot of different vehicles - the car series name is TANK - 500 is the style designation and the Hi4-T is the specific model name. For example the equivalent Toyota naming would be Toyota (GWM), Landcruiser (TANK), 300 Series (500), Sahara (Hi4-T).
Brilliant watch 🥳❤️🏆
Great job….. interesting vehicles for sure.
Very interesting like cars from NFS CARBON OWN THE CITY.
Shows beauty of each luxurious car..❤
Great video!
the hiphi z looks sickk, like an electrified 4 door gtr lol
More like electrified Starlet Glanza.
The Yang-Wang development team must have binged on all the James Bond movies to come up with an SUV that turns on axis and able to float on water. I can only imagine they have a bullet proof version in mind with an active missile protection system and other survival tricks as well.
It's great seeing so many new Chinese models out on the market, and we're just seeing things like the MG4 EV and the Ora Funky Cat. Just wonder how the reception (and price after tariffs) will be in the UK.
Impressed with the amount of cars that are hitting 0-60 sub 4 second! Future "traffic light pull off's" will be something to look forward to. Lol
Hey Matt, that Mercedes is what we in the US call a standard RV 😊
About the Zeekr, it's going to EU this year and in China it costs only around 20k pounds
WOW. that is like so cool. All these cars!
best episode ever!
That Lexus is based on the Toyota Alphard/Vellfire...and those are already really cool.
More like combination of Alphard and RSC.
They are technically not as the current alphard is on the old platform and the new LM is on GA-K. But there will be a new alphard on GA-K as well.
