You are a very good car reviewer. Informative but not boring. If wheels boy had shares I would definitely invest as I can see your growth becoming stronger as the sort of products you review start making it overseas. Great job to the wheelsboy team
Saw an L9 in Shanghai the other day next to a Range Rover and looked amazing but huge! Surprised they offered the L8 in a 3 row and agree with you that would like to have seen a few more design changes. But…. I prefer the look to the G9, tough times for Xpeng. Keep up the good work, hoping you can do a Model 3 vs Nio et5 vs BYD Seal comparison, that would be a a world first!
The cinematography of these vids is so good
Looking forward for the L7 review
Thanks to this channel, all of a sudden I am soooo interested in chiense cars!!!! Great quality, congrats!
Keep it coming bro 🙌
I'm going crazy with Li Auto! Just needed to be fully electric. And liked more the license plate on the rear gate, not bumper
Why would you need full electric
i hope it comes with PHEV version made with range extender generator, like INNengine amazing tech. does the L8 have places for screws on roof to install roof racks & basket?
I'm in the UK and own a Hyundai Kona Electric. I love seeing all these cars in China that we don't get here in the UK
Give it a few years some countries in Europe already have them. Just don't expect a price tag that is anywhere close to that in China
I don't think you can buy such a car in the UK, because the UK government would use "threat to national security" to deny Chinese cars access to the UK market.
@@yw182 BYD is already in the UK now.
Are you able to facilitate purchase?
Nice review. I watched almost all of your videos. The car looks great and that price will be interesting in all markets. But it’s unlikely that we’ll see this car under 70/80k in Europe. Nice car tho. Just like the L9. Ps. I’m still waiting the Zeekr 001 review 😉
Taxes ! In China domestic cars have very low taxes on them.
Wow, $50K for a range extender premium crossover? In my country, that kind of money barely enough for a diesel 4wd ladder frame suv from Mitsubishi, you can't even afford Hyundai Santa Fe diesel fwd with $50K.
Nice car, and nice review
Amazing bonus video!
looks nice
Love this channel, I get to see really cool cars that I like to imagine buying from the Chinese market and bringing it to America so everyone can ask me "wow what kind of car is this".
but selling these cars in other countries might be expencive because of the tax fee and may seem less attractive
Should believe them that one day they can make it. But firs of all hopefully don’t die out in Chinese market
How would someone be able to purchase one of the L8 models and ship to the Caribbean region??
I like your shirt bro 👍🏻
It's a very nice looking car. I would be interested to see what the actual build quality is like, and how durable one of these will end up being.
I own an L9 and so far I'm very happy with it. The kids just can't take their eyes off the screen in the 2nd row so I have to disable it for them. One car for test drives had a burst in its air suspension, which caused a huge backlash since it's one of the main selling points, so Li Auto announced that they'll extend the warranty on the air suspension system from 5 to 8 years.
Very professional! No wonder Li is selling a good number of cars
That's a pretty cool suv
我就是理想L8车主，我买的入门款。这个价位这个配置非常良心，春节回家期间真的太省时省力了。理想很棒，希望越来越好！
我比较喜欢纯电，关于增程我自己内心有矛盾点😂
Feels like I watching a PC review, hearing that specs you read 🤣
You are not far off. The intellegent viechles are pretty much a mobile computer comes with 4 wheels. The legacy brands are usually the case of you bought the car, and the onboard computer comes with it. For these intellegent cars, it will be the case of you bought the onboard computer and it happens the car comes with it.
ES7 vs G9 vs L8 please ethan
You should do a video summary of Chinese auto market including technology, sells and new brand/models of this quarter. It is a very interesting quarter considering the number of models lunched is probably biggest we have seen yet.
Could you put a L9 and L8 side by side so we can see the size difference?
Essentially identical length and height. L9 has overall length of 5.22 m, and wheelbase of 3.1 m, while L8 has overall length of 5.08 m, and wheelbase of 3.0 m. So almost identical. I also think these different models look TOO alike. They might as well be different trims of the save model at this point.
really like apple's product style
Good presentation of the L8. A lot of car for the money. The Xpeng G9 looks sportier in my opinion. Difficult to choose from these two because they are both beautiful cars.
For many years the VW beetle looked the same..not sure that the cars being similar except for features is a problem.
it should be modular. like upgrading a l3 into an l8. buying tech like bigger screens ,more batteries, leather seat covers, driver assistance and led’s
What OS does the L8 use? Can google be installed? How about English menu?
Li auto L7，L8，L9 use theyself os（It should be Android-based），The brand is not officially supported，the brand os is not officially supported english menu.
Await a future where models look the same, but some have features enabled and some don’t.
It is here already, you need to pay sub for heated seat for a bmw. But the hardware, youve already paid for
The design and paint gives some kind of dents like look. May be they can reduce too much curves on the body
Cars becoming iPhones… it’s already happening here in california
Still looks nice tbh
Do you know, when L9 & L8 gonna have English language option on the screen ? Because Until now it’s only in chinese language.
I assume if they export, there would be English.
Big car, they should let people choose how many seats they want. I only want 4 seats so i can have more space to sleep in :)
Do they have a right hand drive?
if Li choose to export to right hand drive country, they will make one
Make a comparison between Li L8 & BYD tang DM-p PLZ~ Both are 6 seats plug-in hybrids(extended range).
Will these come to europe?
NO
@@morganangel340 😔 this would have been to nice
@@deanst0707 I think these days Nio will be launched in Germant, soon the rest of EU.
@@morganangel340 I know but I'm wish for more competition from china.
@@deanst0707 China does the same thing (if you want to import a car)... difference is that most EV's in the west are also built in China so they can't slap tarrifs since they are not imported. Teska, VW iD, BMW iX, Mercedes EQ series, just to name a few companis that make EV's in China.
I had to check the previous video of the Xpeng to confirm that's an other car
Mercedes Benz has been doing the same look between the C,E and S class for almost a decade now. No one seems to have an issue with them so why shouldn't the Chinese?
I am a Volkswagen Touareg owner, the next car is this L8, there is no other better choice than this
Mmh nice interior but wont the whole screen get smudge with fingerprint.. Would also prefer dashboard screen other than massive screen that feels.. Eh
it is way too similar..... in terms of its exterior design..... the Germans (BMW & Mercedes) are doing this too, unfortunately. Hopefully, it will change in the future.
怪不得最近的公眾號更新也是全英語，哈哈 不說中文加上ins和臉書的ID號就可以直接同步上KZhead了 還不用上翻譯字幕 油管自帶翻譯 哈哈哈哈 中國團隊太精了😂
Does Li Auto infotainment support English in China?
Looks the same as the L9!
Too bad Li Auto won't come to Europe
Well, Xpeng, NIO and BYD are on their way. I believe Li Auto will come eventually.
cool ，it is inexpensive，Invincible price/performance ratio🤓

Well for EVs that's certainly true. The Japanese really dropped the ball on transitioning to EVs. The Chinese are going to do to them what they did to the US automakers during the gas crisis in the 1970s. The difference here is that the US was then able to force the Plaza Accords on Japan in the 1980s to slow down the advance of Japanese automakers, but trade wars against China aren't gonna be so easy.
Not full electric? Not interested.
Lixiang brand is all engineering no design. The audio speaker is just a plain circle with no details, same goes with everything else about their interior. Its not a bad thing, but when they make car models to be like iphones you can really tell the utilitarian approach which i think is too much. From minimum design, to scalable design. It lacks imagination, passion, romance - marketable traits. This is not how you set up a brand to tackle mid to high end market.
Amazing. I wonder what Chinese people think buying a Model Y vs this?
You buy the model Y for the brand cachet, and maybe the quicker acceleration. Meanwhile the more practical Chinese consumers would doubtless choose the L8, since for the same price you get a larger car with WAY more luxury features.
They aren't really in the same market. Y is a compact SUV. This is on the X size of things and it can run on gas (Chinese usually live in apartment buildings so don't have charging station at home).
Looks plain
You mean simplistic 😅
G9 is too small to be compared to L8, much less speaking L9.
Why such irrational hate on XPeng? Almost all reviewers in China are fans of the big 3. All three are surpassing Germans and Tesla with their new models this year. There are market share of 1M vehicles for the 3 to take and divide up. More than the three can produce next year. Chill man.
@@enigmatum I'm not sure he is hating on XPeng. The G9 really is significantly smaller than the L8, which is why Li rushed to announce the L8 to try to made a dent in G9 preorders, forcing XPeng to cut prices. If Li can get the L7 onto market quickly and do it at 300,000 RMB, that could really throw a wrench against Xpeng GS9, NIO ES6, and perhaps even BYD Sea Lion. I'm not a big fan of Li's one identical design across all their model approach to cost cutting, but there is a good reason for their sales volumes. Their prices really are undercutting all of their competitors.
@@tren133 he slams XPeng, most of the time without objectivity quite often, like every other EV review video on Li or XPeng. Lol. L7/8 and G9 are both incredible and different enough not to 100% clash.
@@enigmatum I don't hate xpeng. I just thought the G9 is underwhelming for a flagship model. its pricing remains a mess even after the adjustment, and my feeling is that it won't sell well, not nearly as L9. I hope the three startups can do well. the fact is legacy automakers like GAC SAIC Geely Changan GWM are all picking up their games. the window is closing for startups, which NIO Xpeng and LI remain to be.
man, these chinese plastic cars all look so blend...
butthurt endian
compared to what? Tesla ? 🤣🤣
ok， tesla no1
@@lilv8577 no 1 garbage crap 😄😄
another boring SUV that nobody can afford
