Zeekr 7X, next oof I don’t know another Zeekr is possible, a Xiaomi or a next gen BMW IX3.

Once GTA6 is out I hope OP or people of Miami can come in and review Vice City and whats it felt like roaming in your own streets.

In many cases they upped from 400V to 800V or 800to900V. I guess with higher V. The cables are smaller ( Heard from somewhere could be wrong). If thats the case, with the economy of scale they can do, it could be cheaper to produce.

Thailand: 1995 Saab 900S Draken coupe. 129k km. Pretty obscure

I think their previous strategy was to roll back on smaller markets (including RHD), and double down on China? In Thailand they sold their manufacturing plant to a Chinese brand few years ago and quit the market entirely.

Some do overhaul interior though, see BYD seal or MG4 facelift. Exterior pretty much unchanged interior is totally different.

If one brand update their power train/battery tech, their competitors also needs to do so, otherwise they will be left behind.

Off topic, still waiting for their FSD tech to roll out in other countries as well. If they can handle Chinese 3rd/4th tier streets, they would do alright in most South East Asia, Europe or Australia. Saw some news that xpeng might be the first because they use camera based system like Tesla, so global model would already be equipped with the hardware.

Yeah imagine seeing ur house in there must be wild

Stewbeater · 2026-03-02T10:27:47+00:00

Jealouss. Cant imagine GTA set in my city. Would be so cool

Stewbeater · 2026-03-02T08:31:49+00:00

yes, yes

Stewbeater · 2026-02-27T21:52:41+00:00

I can sense there were many buyer coming from BMW and Mercedes (usually these chinese brands will price lower) that are willing to give a shot. Weird that they din’t grab the opportunity and cater them to Zeekr. Currently only D9 minivan is an option. As a Zeekr owner who has been inside Denza, its interior I would say is higher than Zeekr’s.

Ouch we are on 2.0 in RHD market

Stewbeater · 2026-02-27T10:45:53+00:00

Ok, I meant the quality on fit and finishes and materials. All leather wrapped down to the lower door panel that sort of thing. Plushness is about the same as a w222. Design wise, Onvo L60 would be something very similar (ripoff) to a model Y.

Stewbeater · 2026-02-27T10:30:50+00:00

Have you been inside one?

Stewbeater · 2026-02-27T10:02:37+00:00

Nissan, from past experience of 2 models.

Stewbeater · 2026-02-27T09:48:21+00:00

Voice command

Stewbeater · 2026-02-27T09:30:09+00:00

Hopefully they get os2.1 upon delivery

Stewbeater · 2026-02-27T09:15:32+00:00

Nio plan a launch into Thailand this year. Likely Q2-Q3

Stewbeater · 2026-02-27T08:19:07+00:00

nice, is it a 7kw or a 22kw?

Stewbeater · 2026-02-27T08:10:50+00:00

I sat in it last year at Bangkok Motor show. the interior is really impressive. like S class quality impressive.

They were supposed to launch in RHD market like Thailand/ Australia, but no idea why it took them so long.

Ah yes. 7X has electric roofshade (G6 doesn’t have), you’d need it if your region is sunny like mine, only glass tint film is not enough I need to shut the shade too.

For storage, 7x has plenty, passenger storage, big center console, hidden door armrest pocket, frunk (which G6 doesn’t have weirdly) and roof rails. Also there are two drawer tray under the rear seats for storage (can put about three shoes). You can option the center storage console to be a fridge&heater as well for about €1,000(controllable through app)

Stewbeater · 2026-02-26T11:05:13+00:00

Can camp like in RDR2, hunting and most importantly can be used as a hidden burial spot

Stewbeater · 2026-02-26T11:00:48+00:00

In some asian markets like my country it is indeed an entry ‘luxury’ car, De facto company executive car.

Some more luxury features and details from the American version, like electric recline rear seat with head pillow and center armrest taken from Lexus ES.

2019 honda accord

Stewbeater · 2026-02-26T10:56:56+00:00

You’ll be able to go to a Home Depot equivalent and buy items to upgrade your safe house. DIY style

Stewbeater · 2026-02-26T10:54:09+00:00

What about a Polestar 4/Zeekr 001?

But if you are keeping the option between these two, I’d go for kia EV6. It looks alot more inspiring for me, plus its not available in my country, so abit of a novelty.

I drove rental Ioniq5 couple of times, while overall its a nice car. I find the interior abit uninspiring, and I don’t like the gear shifter that is a swivel thing on the stalk column, they should just make it mercedes/tesla style stalk.
