Why the West has lost to China
These last few weeks I have been driving around in the latest and greatest cars from a number of European and Japanese manufacturers, cars that cost anywhere between $50,000 to around $500,000. While they're exceedingly lovely and do so many things well, it became clear to me as I kept losing my cool at the poor implementation of basic technology and general automotive smarts, that there is now an almost generational gap between where the Chinese automakers are and where the Western and Japanese manufacturers sit. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Want your Apple CarPlay to work wirelessly without dropping out and driving you mad? Don't look to Europe. Want your infotainment system to look like something from this century? Don't look to Japan. Want the screen on your $200,000 European car to have the same quality and responsiveness as what you will find in a $30,000 MG, Chery, GWM etc? Look elsewhere. Want your reversing camera to be in high definition? Japan prefers it in 320p. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Want to be able to control a huge amount of your car remotely via an app that works? Best to look East (or at Chinese-made Teslas). If you're wondering what I'm talking about, because you have bought into the hysteria that Chinese cars are poorly made and unsafe, then you're living about a decade in the past. If you're in the market for a new car, and even if you have absolutely no intention of buying a Chinese car, I implore you to go and drive a few and take a look at the price, warranty, and build quality. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Play with the technology, look at all the things it can do and then come back to a known legacy brand and tell me with a straight face it's a better value for money or a superior technological proposition. Take a moment to realise that the phone, laptop, screen or whatever you are reading this on, is made in China – and soon, most cars will be too. Paul Maric and I recently had dinner with the CEO of a legacy manufacturer who flat-out admitted his company is decades behind and has no hope of catching up in the near future. His literal words were, 'We buried our heads in the sand and now it's too late.' How did we get here? Let's take a walk back in time. The Europeans have had almost 140 years of internal combustion engine, engineering and manufacturing excellence and know-how. The first Daimler/Mercedes vehicle was made in 1886. To say they had a first mover advantage with the automobile would be an understatement. Supplied Credit: CarExpert However, as is the nature of capitalism and short-term greed, most CEOs, executives, and shareholders tend to think only in the short term. There could be no more obvious example of this than the technology and knowledge transfer that has occurred from the West to China in the automotive sector. When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) opened its market to Western car companies decades ago, they all rushed in like schoolchildren looking for free lollies and their personal mega-bonuses. However, there was a slight caveat: if you want to sell your product in China, you must form a 50:50 joint venture with a Chinese company. Which, coincidentally, is likely fully or partially owned by the CCP. You could almost imagine all the European CEOs smirking at the time, 'They will learn our ways, but I'm going to make so much money selling in China, I'll be long gone before that is an issue'. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Fast forward three or so decades, and here we are. The issue is clearly apparent if you are a shareholder in a legacy manufacturer in Europe or the United States. The Chinese have taken almost every single industrial, manufacturing, engineering and technological know-how from the West and now not only have similar, if not better, cars, excellent engineering, and know-how… but they have stopped desiring Western cars. In fact, they are actually making (arguably better for the money) cars for the Europeans under European brands! Tell that to someone in the late 1990s, and they would laugh at you. This whole shift of power to the East has been heavily aided by the electric vehicle revolution. You may have recently seen that several German automakers have joined forces to develop software together, a near-admission that if they don't respond to the technological Chinese threat faster, they're doomed. The Japanese, too, are in trouble, but at least they didn't take the initial bait as hard (arguably due to the poor social relations between the countries). Still, we're talking about an insular culture that invented the Walkman and then refused to adapt when MP3s and streaming became a thing. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Where the Chinese differ from the Japanese is their willingness to hire and bring in foreign experts – paying them huge sums of money – to improve their products. To really make a point, think about how many Western car brands the Japanese have bought versus how many the Chinese own? In many respects, the way the Japanese schooled the Americans and Europeans in the late 80s and early 90s when it came to quality and lean manufacturing, the Chinese are now doing on a global scale with respect to technology and electrification. Like my colleagues at CarExpert and across the industry, I attend many events where I get to speak to CEOs of many car companies and I get asked very frequently what I thought of their cars, and more often than not, my first response is 'have you driven a $30,000 Chinese car recently?' You know what? Most of them haven't, and the reason they haven't is because Europe and America have hefty tariffs to stop the Chinese from selling cars, which means most (but not all, with Ford's CEO Jim Farley being the most vocal exception) have no direct experience or idea of just how far behind they are. Australia is an incredibly unique market, where we have no meaningful tariffs and a low barrier to entry. This means that any manufacturer can easily set up shop in half a dozen key cities and experiment in our market. In fact, the aggression with which the Chinese have entered our market suggests to anyone with an economic mind that the goal here is not just profit, but to capture market share at the expense of legacy manufacturers. To drive them out and then, over time, raise prices. This is what China has achieved globally, encompassing everything from technology to core minerals. This is what happens when a country's government thinks 50 years ahead, rather than in a four-year election cycle. The irony that capitalist markets have blocked access to the 'communist' Chinese does not escape me. In a free market, everyone is allowed to sell their product without discrimination, but in Europe and America, when things get tough and the competition is better and cheaper, they close the market down. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Of course, it makes sense to protect jobs and the local industry, but it also insulates those automakers from understanding their competition before it's too late. I know many of you will rush to the comments to say I am wrong, and I might be – in fact, I hope I am. There are also many areas where Chinese carmakers can improve. The thing is, though, they are listening and they are actually improving. For example, one Chinese OEM updated one of its best-selling cars three times within a 12-month period, purely based on customer feedback. I am not talking about minor changes; they redesigned the entire rear and altered the vehicle's dynamics, while also enhancing the interior. They treat cars like smartphones. From what I have seen during my recent trips to China, from the nine million senior software engineers to the incredible factories, R&D centres and the industrial and manufacturing knowledge that exists in the country, I can only assume that the tide has shifted so far East that it will never shift back again. There's an excellent quote from Apple CEO Tim Cook about how the West continues to misunderstand and underestimate the Chinese manufacturing complex. I have left it below in full, and while it doesn't directly apply to vehicle manufacturing, it gives you a good idea of why China is leaving the West behind: There's a confusion about China. The popular conception is that companies come to China because of low labor cost. I'm not sure what part of China they go to, but the truth is China stopped being the low-labor-cost country many years ago. And that is not the reason to come to China from a supply point of view. The reason is because of the skill, and the quantity of skill in one location and the type of skill it is. The products we do require really advanced tooling, and the precision that you have to have, the tooling and working with the materials that we do are state of the art. And the tooling skill is very deep here. In the U.S., you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I'm not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields… You may have noticed that I have excluded the South Koreans from this, and that's for good reason: they can adapt and change, which has so far enabled them to remain very competitive with the Chinese. Like the Chinese, the Koreans and Indians are also eager to hire the best and learn as quickly as possible while having a long-term view. This may just be their saving grace.

Zeekr to build a Tesla-style charging network in Australia
Tesla's expansive Supercharger network has long been a point of difference for the electric vehicle (EV) giant in Australia, but Chinese challenger Zeekr now intends to roll out its own charging network as part of an ambitious expansion plan. Zeekr already has extensive experience in managing EV chargers – it oversees a network of 860 ultra-fast 800V charging stations, 1536 fast-chargers and 4134 chargers covering 183 cities in China. Tesla boasts nearly 800 EV chargers across more than 100 locations in Australia, while rivals continue to rely on independent EV charger operators. However, Zeekr sees an opportunity to bring the Zeekr Power network Down Under, although the local landscape poses unique challenges. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert 'We want to differentiate ourselves compared to other incoming EV brands,' William Zhou, general manager of Zeekr Australia, told local media in Sydney. 'We have our own charging network in China called Zeekr Power, which is similar to what Tesla has here. 'We are exploring collaboration opportunities with equipment manufacturers and charger operators in Australia, as well as electricity companies. There's a lot of things going on. We're trying to have our own [chargers], that's the direction. 'I don't know how long it will take.' Just two models are currently offered by Zeekr in Australia – the 009 people mover and the X compact SUV, both of which are EVs. The larger 7X electric SUV is due to arrive later this year, while a third SUV has been confirmed for local release in 2026. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The global Zeekr lineup is also EV-heavy, although the Geely-owned Chinese automaker is now venturing into the plug-in hybrid market with its new 9X large SUV. Aside from Tesla and its Superchargers, major players in Australia's public EV charging market include Chargefox, Evie, JOLT, and the NRMA. Zeekr Australia recently teamed up with Evie to offer customers 12 months of free public charging with any new vehicle purchase, although that sweetener expired at the end of the financial year.

Leapmotor C10 REEV: The future-proof family SUV you didn't see coming
SPONSORED In a market where electrification is moving at full tilt but long-distance range anxiety still lingers, the Leapmotor C10 REEV Ultra Hybrid brings a clever middle ground, offering electric vehicle (EV) purity for city drives, and petrol-powered reassurance for road trips. But there's far more to this stylish mid-size SUV than just its clever drivetrain. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. EV-first driving, zero range anxiety Let's start with the heart of the C10 REEV: its range-extender electric powertrain. Unlike a conventional hybrid, the petrol engine in the C10 never drives the wheels. Instead, a 1.5-litre petrol engine/generator keeps the 28.4kWh battery topped up when needed. So, you always drive using the rear-mounted 160kW electric motor, which means silent, smooth and responsive acceleration – every time. Unleashing combined outputs of 158kW of power and 320Nm of torque to the rear wheels exclusively, the C10 is fun to drive and offers one-pedal driving as well, thanks to its range-extending EV technology. With up to 170km of EV-only range and a total range that can stretch beyond 1000km, this is a car that handles school runs, work commutes, and long weekends away without compromise – or charging anxiety. For families who aren't quite ready to go full-EV, this tech-forward hybrid approach is brilliant. Cutting-edge cabin with a genuine luxury bent Inside, the minimalistic dash, layered textures, and ambient lighting give the cabin a vibe more commonly found in SUVs with significantly higher price tags. There's a luxury ambience in the cabin. The C10 Style and Design variants both feature a 14.6-inch multimedia touchscreen with a slick user interface, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. The infotainment system is lightning-fast, built on Qualcomm's Snapdragon platform, and supports over-the-air updates – a feature typically reserved for brands like Tesla or Mercedes-Benz. The 12-speaker 840W sound system is a cut above the rest and adds serious depth to the cabin with a truly immersive listening experience. And both trim grades get wireless phone charging and dual-zone climate control. The top-spec C10 Design goes one better, offering heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel (mandatory in Australia's southern cities), ambient lighting and a power tailgate – all while staying under $50K drive-away. It's undeniably impressive. Here's a full spec list across both trim grades. Either way, the inventory of standard features generous to say the least and many are top-line. 2025 Leapmotor C10 Style equipment highlights: Eco, Comfort, Sport and Custom drive modes One-pedal drive mode Mode 2 and Mode 3 charging cables Panoramic fixed glass roof with electric sunshade 18-inch alloy wheels Automatic LED headlights Rain-sensing wipers 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster 14.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity Over-the-air updates Satellite navigation Embedded apps like Spotify 12-speaker 840W sound system Wireless phone charger Dual-zone climate control Heat pump TechnoLeather upholstery Six-way power driver's seat Four-way power passenger seat The Leapmotor C10 Design adds: 20-inch alloy wheels Rear privacy glass LED rear light bar Silicone leather seat trim with Oeko-Tex Heated and ventilated front seats Heated steering wheel Power tailgate Multi-colour ambient lighting Air quality monitor This is a mid-size SUV designed to offer maximum living space. With a boot offering 546 litres of capacity with the rear seats up and 1375L with them folded, plus a flat-folding front passenger seat, you can load the C10 with luggage, bikes, IKEA furniture or even roll out a mattress – yes, it fits a 1.8×1.2m double bed flat. Genius. The seats themselves are upholstered in soft synthetic leather and supportive (especially in the Design variant with an even softer silicon blend), and the rear row of seats is properly roomy for adults – something many of its rivals can't claim. Fast charging and smart platform Despite being a plug-in hybrid, the C10 REEV doesn't skimp on charging: it offers DC fast-charging at up to 65kW and AC charging at home up to 6.6kW. It's built on Leapmotor's advanced LEAP 3.0 cell-to-chassis architecture, which integrates the battery directly into the structure for greater rigidity, safety and efficiency, and that's 100 per cent validated behind the wheel. This platform also supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) charging capability, meaning you can power electrical devices like laptops, camping gear or even power tools straight from the vehicle – another EV-style innovation baked into the C10's tech play. Designed to turn heads While some Chinese EV brands struggle to find a design identity, the Leapmotor C10 is anything but generic. With clean proportions, a sleek silhouette, hidden door handles and a premium feel throughout, it looks far more Euro-chic than cut-price commuter. In fact, from the rear three-quarter angle it emits Porsche Cayenne vibes. No bad thing. The Design variant rides on sharp-looking 20-inch wheels, while both variants get a panoramic sunroof and tidy LED lighting. All C10 owners also get three years of complimentary connected services access. This includes the use of the Leapmotor smartphone app, which is surely one of its smartest features and enables owners to be able to remotely control a range of features from their smartphones, including: Schedule battery charging Battery pre-heating Remote climate control Remote vehicle status Remote control convenience features Remote central locking Bluetooth key support Real-time car location It's one of features of the C10 you very quickly won't be able to live without on a daily basis. Five-star safety Armed with seven airbags and a full suite of Advanced Driver Assist Systems, the Leapmotor C10 has a full five-star ANCAP safety rating based on 2024 Euro NCAP protocols. Stellantis backing for solid peace of mind Leapmotor isn't flying solo here. It's backed by Stellantis, the global auto giant which owns brands including Ram, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Jeep and more. That means global servicing networks, better quality assurance and long-term viability – not to mention confidence in parts, support and updates well into the future. This is a world-class product with plenty of muscle behind it. Value for money champion Pricing for the Leapmotor C10 REEV starts from under $46,000, as follows: C10 REEV Style – $45,990 drive-away C10 REEV Design – $49,990 drive-away Both grades are backed by a six-year, 150,000km warranty and an eight-year, 160,000km warranty for the drive battery, plus eight years of roadside assistance and an eight-year capped price service program. That's outstanding value for the level of tech, space, refinement and range on offer here. Final word The Leapmotor C10 REEV Ultra Hybrid doesn't just sneak into the EV conversation – it kicks the door down. It offers EV-level tech and comfort, hybrid-level practicality, and segment-leading value, all wrapped in a stylish, cleverly packaged SUV. For Aussie families not yet ready to go fully electric – or those who just want the flexibility to do both – this might be one of the smartest buys of 2025.
