The MG4 has been one of the best-selling EVs in Europe since its launch, but now there's a new one, and they're selling it alongside an updated version of the old one. Confusing? Maybe. The right idea? Possibly. The two models are very different from each other, with the new one, selling very well in China for once, offering a less powerful but more practical and more manoeuvrable variant for quite a bit less money. Have the changes made it the best value EV now on sale? #automobile #cartok #chineseev #chinaelectricvehicle #electric #chineseelectriccar #mg #mg4 #electrichatchback #mg4urban
MG4 Urban Review - This new EV is an absolute steal.
Public EV chargers in the UK cost HOW MUCH!?!
Huawei's ADS system continues to improve, and as ever we've put it through its paces, this time in Shenzhen equipped on the Maextro S800. When we test urban autonomous driving systems, we push them to the extremes to see exactly where the limits are, so in this video we took the Maextro S800 to the moped-littered streets of Shenzhen to see how it handled some of the most complex edge cases we could find. #china #automobile #electriccarchina #chinesecar #chineseev #cartok #chinaevcar #autonomousdriving #autonomousvehicles #autonomous #autonomouscar #maextro #maextros800#huawei
Still The Best? - Huawei Qiankun ADS Tested in Maextro S800
In this review, we check out the Maextro S800, Huawei's most luxurious brand yet, as it takes on the Mercedes Maybach at its own game, delivering luxury, a silky smooth ride, and next-level technology. Built by JAC, NIO's former production partner, the Maextro S800 comes in both EV and EREV drivetrains, and has hit the ground running, dominating the luxury car segment in its first few months on sale. But is it more show than go, or can it really go toe-to-toe with Stuttgart's finest? #china #automobile #electriccarchina #luxurycar #chinesecar #cartok #chinaevcar #chineseev #Maextro #MaextroS800 #mercedesmaybachs680 #mercedesbenz #audi #bmw #huawei
Maextro S800 Review - Can Huawei Out-Maybach The Maybach?
As ever, we've been renewing our experience with the latest autonomous driving software in China, and this time it's the turn of NIO's NOA ADAS system, running the self-developed New World Model and three LiDAR units on the NIO ES8. We took it for a drive through Beijing's streets in October 2025 to see if the latest system can outcompete XPeng's lidar-equipped models. #automobile #autonomousdriving #autonomouscars #autonomousvehicles #autonomouscar #fsd #teslafsd #selfdrivecars #selfdrive #nio #nioes8 #nionoa #ev #electriccarchina #chinaelectricvehicle #chinaadas
NIO ES8 ADAS - Is NIO's System Now As Good As XNGP?
The NIO ES8's huge sales numbers prove that fully electric three-row SUVs actually do work. NIO's ES8 was the car that really kicked off China's premium new energy vehicle segment, setting a new standard for design, quality, and EV technology, and just last year the second-generation was launched. Just 18 months later, NIO has gone back to the drawing board, bringing us an all-new version sitting on its latest 900-volt platform, becoming the largest fully electric SUV you can buy in China at over 5.3-metres long. Now after 40,000 units have been delivered, we got behind of the 7-seater version to see why it's so popular. #china #automobile #electriccarchina #luxurycar #chinesecar #cartok #chinaevcar #chineseev #NIO #NIOES8 #ES7 #mercedesbenz #audi #bmw #batteryswapping
