    Looks great. I do have the height concern with the handles, also I can see tree debris and road dirt collecting behind them. And it’s typically pronounced “Hoo-gin” not “Huggin” 😉

    Nice to hear. Just hoping I can fit in the driver’s seat and swap my (a bit too large) BMW IX for it. The selling point for me when it comes to options is the B&W system. Without it I would not have considered it.

    It’s going to depend on price here in Australia. When you consider that the EX40 costs more than the Zeekr 7x here in Aust, will buyers want to pay another $20k more for this rather than just buy a Zeekr 7x (both Geely products)???

      Love the 7X, it’s the best in league

      Absolutely… base model to come in at 75k + ORC I reckon.. the typical Volvo pricing in Australia, loaded with Australia Tax !!

      Zeekr 7x the elephant in the room. Best value car in my humble opinion.

      Zeekr still is not being sold here in the UK so Geely don’t have to worry about being undercut on price.

      It’s $95K AUD

    Great video! As someone in the market for this car, the Panoramic roof is standard but being electrochromic is Ultra only or a cost option on the plus.

      Electrochromatic is a £995 option on the Plus

    Thank you for the intuitive video 🙂 . The fin handles and door sizes are not a problem, because still lot better than the other usual cars. What you haven’t mentioned the woolblend and nordico interior how feels. According to the static reviews this car much better than the rivals (elegant, clean and a sleeper with a lots of power compared the other’s nightclubbish interior and a show off)

    Right just did Glasgow to Southend in one day last weekend round trip was 937 miles back home, yes I topped up at Penrith as even I don’t trust my fossil range estimate even with great mpg. So this 500 mile version could probably do the 420miles on the way south thats impressive. Having spent tens of hours this weekend on the U.K. motorway network it’s nice to see the wee lights in the mirrors of other cars showing me passing blind spot warnings. The safety systems are making our roads safer year by year. All in that looks really smart.

    I would have a Alpine A290 if it did 350 miles to a charge as I do road trips. My hope is the range in all EV’s takes a solid jump to the norm being 500 miles real world and that’s all anyone could need. Well apart from Nev in Australia who needs 1200 miles range to go to his local shop and watering hole (pub) and talks for everyone when he says EV’s don’t work. 😂

      Dude … forget the battery, most bladders cant go further than 250 miles between stops. Get the A290 …. Enjoy. You’ll never go back.

    What is the obsession with big wheels?

    1. @Manu-ij1rg Avatar
      @Manu-ij1rg

      wondering the same. They cost a lot of range. I am actually annoyed you can’t spec the 20″ wheels in the ultra trim…

    2. @riaz8783 Avatar
      @riaz8783

      Less range, more road noise, less comfort, more expensive to replace. Lose-lose-lose-lose situation

      Large wheels actually puts me off a car – I’m not planning to race it round a circuit. I want efficiency, highter resistance to damage, better grip and lower cost replacements.

      Nope, big wheels are illogical for a car like this.

      Larger wheels with low profile tyres don’t blend well on Britains roads. Potholes kill alloy wheels and tyres.

      22 inch wheels are outrageous. They’re obviously eating up interior space and the lifetime cost of tires this size, as well as the resource use, is also irrational. The legendary 240 had 14 inch wheels.

    Shout out to Ginny for talking about Norse Mythology, but who remembers Noggin the Nog ?

    Excellent review ! I’m looking forward to seeing it in person, only disappointment thus far are the rear doors not opening very far.

    Love it. I currently have xc60 and when I trade it in this will be at the top of my list.

    Very nice car. Very nice review.

    You guys are great, finally adding metric ranges, and showing the backseat with different sized people. Matching entertainment with information. 22 inch wheels are outrageously ridiculous, though, design over function is such a poor choice. A wool interior is lovely, though.

    1. @Sjalabais Avatar
      @Sjalabais

      This video needs a followup with the more rational competition. A BYD Atto 3 Evo with 450 hp has a 101 litre frunk, for example, not 58 litres. It’s surely not as nice inside, though, so comparing these would bring out the priorities of manufacturers and customers alike.

    lovely video’s, could you just include numbers in metric? Just like text on the screen, it would make the videos much more informative

    Nice review. I like Electrifying. One major comment for the future. Please stop telling us we DON’T want a particular model. In this case, you keep telling us the P12 is too much power and no one needs that. That is not your decision to make. It may be too much for you but others may actually want that and enjoy it.

    Looking forward to the EX40 proper electric platform replacement. But still want more buttons please and my wiper stalk back.
    I will have a look at the Zeeker 7x firest though

    The exterior looks quite plain on videos but I imagine in person it’s so much better. The interior however looks fab. So much room too! Great review ❤
