BAIC Beijing 7 (aka Senova X75) - Cheap Honda CR-V Rival From China (ENG) - Test Drive and Review
Beijing 7 is another new Chinese SUV on the European market. Manufactured by BAIC Motor the Beijing 7 is also known as the Beijing X7, BAIC X7, Senova X75. Several months ago I reviewed smaller Beijing 5 (also known as the BAIC X5 or Senova X55), which looks very similar to the Beijing 7, at least on the outside. Despite being powered by the same 1.5 L turbocharged petrol engine, the Beijing 7 is substantially bigger, than the Beijing 5.

    This looks great, i’ll have to admit. I wouldn’t buy a Chinese car but I bet they will sell quite a few of these. Remember where Chinese cars were 10-15 years ago? We used to have something called a “Land Mark” here in town, someone brought it home with them after working in China I guess. The logo looked like the Land Rover logo. It looked like cross between a 1990’s CR-V and a Mitsubishi Pajero or something. It had leaf springs in the rear. I once watched the driver open the tailgate. It flew open on the gas struts, bounced off of the stops, came back down and eventually settled half way down. Great quality.

The fact he got the whole “CVT” issue wrong just proves he’s not as knowledgeable as he tries to portray himself as and/or ignorant in which case should find another career path.

  • @ast5515
    @ast5515 2 дні тому

    The 2 most important factors when buying any car, new or used, are reliability and service competence. Yes, especially when it comes to new cars. I haven't driven a new car in the last 5 years where I didn't feel like it needed at least some repairs under warranty. A friend of mine runs a small feet of vehicles (~25 vehicles) and he has the same experience. VW group, Kia, Nissan, Stellantis, it's all the same. They can't fix them even under warranty. So in order for me to buy a Chinese car, they wouldn't just have to be "not worse" than the competition, they would have to be better. And that's an experiment I'm not rich enough to participate in because I don't believe it's possible.
