Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Chinese manufacturers don’t offer many options when it comes to affordable sports sedans, so we were very excited to try out the GAC Empow.

    The DCT transmission on this car ruins everything about driving…Extremely sensitive for small pedal request, very uncomfortable , but response extremely slow when you give it full throttle. Definitely one of the worst powertrain tuning among the new ICE cars in 2021.

NVH is also pretty good, no excessive wind or tire noise during our time with the car. Put simply, it would make a good daily commuter.

Those three things would make the car a lot more expensive. And the european market is already full and europeans tend to buy SUVs and crossovers.

    When i saw the car in the video i got a feeling i had seen this car before. Went out to the parking lot and saw a 90% match to my old Honda (Insight ZE3). Naughty copycat boys... Current Insight ZE4 (which is more similar looking) can be also considered a "sporty" car by this metric with similar sized engine (with VTEC and CVT), In reality both are timid hybrids. Also, nothing too sporty about the engine and with fake noise... China has good EVs or ultra cheap EVs but they better leave the ICE cars to the pros
