0:00Welcome to this new automotive news
0:02video for Monday, November 9, 2026.
0:05Today, we’ll talk about the European
0:07Commission wanting to remotely prevent
0:09you from starting your car, Land Rover
0:11accusing the Chinese brand BYD of
0:13plagiarism, Volkswagen delaying its new
0:15electric Golf even further than expected
0:17, BYD unveiling its first truly luxury
0:19model, and another report highlighting
0:21the decline of the European automotive
0:24industry in favor of the Chinese
0:25industry. I hope these topics will
0:27interest you. If so, I’m counting on you
0:29as usual to show it by supporting my
0:31channel for free. You can do this by
0:33leaving a like on this video,
0:34subscribing for future ones, boosting
0:35this one if the option appears for you,
0:37and of course, leaving a small comment
0:39to share your opinion on today's news.
0:40But before we get to today’s car news,
0:42we’re going to talk about this video’s
0:44sponsor, which is once again CarVertical
0:46. With the end of internal combustion
0:48engines on the horizon, this might be
0:50the last moment to treat yourself by
0:51buying a nice used car with a big engine
0:53before their value skyrockets. Thanks to
0:55depreciation on the used market, you can
0:57find certain sports cars or high-powered
0:58German station wagons at a fraction of
1:00their new price. But be careful, because
1:02for this type of car, the value depends
1:04heavily on maintenance and, above all,
1:06the mileage. Take this Audi RS6 that I
1:08checked with CarVertical, for example.
1:10On paper, naturally, it looks tempting.
1:12A 600-horsepower V8 for the price of a
1:14new Peugeot 308 is always tempting.
1:16Except that through its CarVertical
1:17report, we discover something quite
1:19shocking.
1:20This car, which once showed 270,000 km,
1:22now only shows 70,000.
1:25You heard that right, 200,000 km have
1:27just disappeared. And naturally, on a
1:29German car with a big V8, such a
1:30difference can represent a gap of tens
1:32of thousands of euros in the sale price
1:34, not to mention the potentially huge
1:36maintenance costs if you buy a car that
1:38is much more worn out than expected.
1:40Fortunately, CarVertical makes it
1:41possible to spot all these anomalies,
1:43whether it's tampered mileage, recorded
1:45accidents, if it’s a recovered theft,
1:46and even old photos of the vehicle to
1:48see how it has aged over time.
1:50And of course, if CarVertical finds no
1:52info on your car, your credits are
1:53refunded and remain valid for 6 months.
1:55So, before buying your next used car,
1:57sports model or not, internal combustion
2:00or not, check its history with
2:01CarVertical and get a 20%discount with
2:03the code EQUI20. I've put the link in
2:06the description and in the pinned
2:07comment, and I'm displaying the QR code
2:09that will take you to the site.
2:11Thanks to CarVertical for becoming a
2:12recurring sponsor of the channel, and
2:13let's get right into today's news.
2:16We're going to start by talking about a
2:18new European Commission project that
2:20wants to be able to remotely prevent you
2:22from starting your car.
2:25And for once, this isn't just a rumor:
2:27it's a mechanism that is indeed planned
2:29in a new European regulation, linked to
2:32the new Euro 7 standard, which will come
2:34into effect from November 29, 2026, for
2:36all new car models hitting the European
2:39market from that date on, and from
2:41November 2027 for all cars generally
2:43sold in Europe, including models that
2:45were already existing.
2:48This means that the European Commission
2:49is giving manufacturers about a one-year
2:51margin to update their existing models
2:53to bring them into compliance with this
2:54new law.
2:55For those who have never heard of the
2:57Euro 7 standard, it is a new
2:58anti-pollution standard that all car
3:00manufacturers will have to comply with.
3:02This concerns those selling combustion
3:04and hybrid vehicles, as there will be a
3:06new system for estimating fuel
3:08consumption and pollutant emissions for
3:10combustion and hybrid engine models.
3:12But also, and this is a first in Euro
3:14standards, a big problem for electric
3:17cars, since from the Euro 7 standard,
3:19pollutants emitted by tires and brakes
3:21will also be counted with thresholds to
3:24be respected. And since electric cars
3:26are much heavier with larger wheels,
3:27they are ultimately the ones most likely
3:29to be penalized by this new measure.
3:32But on top of all that, indeed, and it
3:34is true that this particularly concerns
3:36manufacturers still selling combustion
3:38and hybrid vehicles, because this Euro 7
3:40package will make an emissions
3:42monitoring system mandatory on all new
3:44cars.
3:45In concrete terms, the cars concerned
3:47will be able to permanently monitor
3:48certain parameters of their pollutant
3:50emissions themselves, and if the system
3:52detects a sufficiently significant
3:54anomaly, for example, CO2 or nitrogen
3:56oxide emissions exceeding the authorized
3:58threshold, the car will be able to warn
4:00you that a repair is necessary. So far,
4:02nothing very new since cars were already
4:05capable of this. Except that this time,
4:07ignoring the warning could have much
4:09more significant consequences than today
4:11.
4:12Today, in practice, if your pollution
4:13control system is no longer working,
4:15your car can still start, and it can
4:16still keep driving.
4:18Simply put, it is possible that its
4:20electronic mapping, or engine tuning if
4:22you prefer, will be automatically
4:24adjusted by the vehicle's software to
4:25limit maximum power until the emission
4:27control systems are functioning
4:29correctly again. Here, we are talking
4:32about a 2,400 km tolerance authorized by
4:34the European Commission before the car
4:37simply refuses to start if it detects
4:40that the anti-pollution system is still
4:43faulty.
4:44Basically, you get an emissions alert,
4:46and if you refuse to repair the car and
4:48continue to drive 2,400 km with it, the
4:50car will simply no longer be able to
4:52start.
4:53Knowing that it even goes a bit further
4:55than that, since it is also planned that
4:57brands will have a choice between
4:58different sanctions to force their
5:00customers to return to the dealership to
5:02have their cars repaired.
5:04One of them, if it's not the starter
5:06lockout, would be a system that simply
5:08prevents you from refueling your car, or
5:10even prevents it from restarting after
5:12refueling, if the AdBlue system, for
5:14example, or another anti-pollution
5:16system is still failing.
5:18Just imagine the permanent additional
5:20hassle that this adds for all the people
5:22who use their cars on a daily basis. Of
5:25course, some will say that 2,400 km
5:27leaves plenty of room. But for those who
5:29drive a lot, when you see that in small
5:31local garages, there is sometimes a 3-
5:33week to 1-month wait, well, it's not
5:34enough; it's a pain. Triple bad news for
5:37customers, because firstly, you will of
5:39course have to pay for the repairs,
5:41which seems fairly normal. Secondly, if
5:43you don't have it repaired, you will
5:45also have to call a tow truck and
5:47perhaps foot the bill. And thirdly, and
5:50this concerns everyone.
5:51Even those who fully comply with the
5:53emission guidelines with these new
5:55systems mandated by the Euro 7 standard
5:56, the price of cars will go up again
5:58because, for it to work, there must be
6:00sensors, there must be additional
6:01electronics.
6:03And all of that is exactly why modern
6:05cars are so expensive. The commission
6:08estimates that this additional cost
6:09generated by these new systems will be
6:10around 450 euros per car. Manufacturers
6:12estimate that it will be more around
6:142,000 bucks. So you have to be prepared
6:16to pay 2,000 bucks more for your car
6:18simply because manufacturers will pass
6:20on the costs of these systems to the
6:22selling price, quite simply. But in
6:23addition, this system raises a real
6:25question about the freedom of use,
6:27movement, and the costs of owning modern
6:29cars. Is it normal for a car that's
6:31still perfectly capable of driving to
6:33end up refusing to start because of a
6:35software issue? Isn't that an annoying
6:37thing that's going to drive even more
6:39customers away from EVs? Let me know
6:40what you think in the comments.
6:42Meanwhile, Land Rover is accusing BYD of
6:44plagiarism.
6:45For some time now, Chinese brands have
6:47been trying to draw as much inspiration
6:48as possible from European car designs.
6:51So much so that in recent months, one
6:52might have started to wonder how it's
6:53possible that Chinese brands aren't
6:55facing more lawsuits for plagiarism.
6:57Well, that is exactly what's happening
6:59with Land Rover, which has just taken
7:00legal action against BYD. The British
7:02manufacturer flatly suspects its
7:05competitor of completely copying its
7:07Defender model, both inside and out.
7:10The case is serious enough that the
7:11courts have authorized the seizure of
7:13documents directly from BYD's offices.
7:16It all stems from the T5, a vehicle I
7:18had already mentioned in a video
7:19precisely because it was a vehicle
7:21offering the same thing as the Land
7:22Rover Defender for much less money.
7:25A huge 7-seater plug-in hybrid SUV
7:27marketed in China since September 2025,
7:29but also in Europe. Land Rover suspects
7:31BYD of having bought and completely
7:33dismantled a Defender to understand how
7:35it works, recover its technical
7:37solutions, and reproduce them on its own
7:39vehicle. A practice called reverse
7:41engineering, which isn't necessarily
7:42illegal. Everything depends, in
7:44particular, on the technologies involved
7:45and any potential intellectual property
7:47rights. But for Land Rover, in this case
7:49, the suspicions are significant enough
7:51to have launched legal proceedings.
7:53This is a very important case for Land
7:55Rover because if BYD gets away with it,
7:57they could literally compete with the
7:59Land Rover Defender in its own market
8:01with a vehicle that is much cheaper.
8:03That's about 50,000 euros for a T5,
8:06compared to 75,000 for a 7-seater
8:08Defender.
8:09We'll see how it turns out; it will be a
8:11fascinating case, but it's one that will
8:13require a lot of patience—probably
8:15several years of collecting documents
8:16for Land Rover, and perhaps a trial at
8:18the end that could also last several
8:20years.
8:21At Volkswagen, there's a completely
8:23different problem; the German group has
8:24just delayed its new electric Golf by
8:26another two years.
8:27We learned last week that Volkswagen was
8:29putting the development of its future
8:30electric Golf on pause. We have just
8:32learned more details today about this
8:34suspension of development, its main
8:36reasons, and especially the additional
8:38delay, since the new electric Golf,
8:40which was supposed to arrive in 2028,
8:42will now not arrive before 2030 at the
8:44earliest. Last week, Volkswagen
8:45primarily cited financial difficulties,
8:47explaining that it didn't have the means
8:49to continue all the projects the group
8:51had initiated.
8:52But, in fact, we learned this week that
8:54it is also due to a technical issue, as
8:56this new electric Golf must be based on
8:58a new electric platform called SSP, and
9:00adapting this SSP platform to the Golf
9:02has been significantly delayed, as has
9:04the development of the future Golf's
9:06electronic system.
9:07So, there is a question of money, but
9:09also a matter of technical solutions not
9:11yet ready, and the fact that Volkswagen
9:13wants to allocate more resources to
9:15developing its new ID. Rock, which will
9:17be the electric T-Roc that Volkswagen
9:19now considers to be more promising in
9:20terms of sales. Indeed, SUVs sell well,
9:23and the T-Roc is selling very well. In
9:25any case, it will likely take nearly
9:27four years to get the new generation of
9:29Golf.
9:30Four long years during which Volkswagen
9:32will continue to offer the updated
9:34combustion and hybrid Golf 8, along with
9:36the electric ID.3—models that are either
9:38aging or not quite in the same segment.
9:41Meanwhile, BYD, for its part, seems to
9:44know no limits.
9:47BYD has just unveiled its first
9:49ultra-luxury model, a vehicle aimed at
9:51competing with Rolls-Royce or Bentley,
9:53but more specifically with Rolls-Royce.
9:57It is the BYD Yangwang U7, a massive
9:59all-electric limousine designed to rival
10:02the Rolls Phantom.
10:03When I say massive, I'm not exaggerating
10:05. We are talking about a car that is
10:075.60 meters long, which is 40
10:09centimeters longer than a Mercedes
10:11S-Class. And mind you, we are talking
10:13about a long-wheelbase S-Class here.
10:15Inside, there are only four seats, with
10:17two huge armchairs in the back and over
10:191.20 meters of legroom. The most
10:20impressive part is definitely the level
10:22of equipment.
10:23There are massaging seats that can
10:25recline almost completely, electric
10:26shades, ambient lighting, a 21-inch
10:28cinema screen that drops from the
10:30ceiling, as well as two fridges—one in
10:31the back and one in the front—umbrellas
10:33integrated into the doors, just like
10:35Rolls-Royce, and rear doors that open in
10:37the opposite direction of standard doors
10:39to allow passengers to get in and out
10:40more easily.
10:42As for materials, we find jade stone,
10:44handcrafted silk, and real physical
10:46buttons whose tactile feel and sound
10:48were carefully studied during
10:49development.
10:51The Chinese manufacturer clearly wants
10:52to show it is capable of competing with
10:54European luxury brands on their own turf
10:55.
10:56With one difference: when European
10:59luxury brands like Bentley, for example
11:01, or Rolls announce 500 km of range, BYD
11:03announces over 1,000 km, compatible with
11:06BYD's flash-charge system which will
11:08likely promise more than 1,500 kW
11:10charging speed.
11:12The real question now is whether
11:14millionaire and billionaire clients will
11:15be willing to spend several hundred
11:17thousand euros on a BYD rather than a
11:19Rolls.
11:20And speaking of BYD and Chinese brands,
11:22we are going to talk about a new report
11:23highlighting the decline of the European
11:25automotive industry to the benefit of
11:26the Chinese industry.
11:28A study conducted by the London School
11:31of Economics analyzed factory workforces
11:33for 62 major automotive groups between
11:362015 and 2024. It is not quite up to
11:38date, and if it were, it would probably
11:41be even worse, since the acceleration of
11:43outsourcing to the benefit of the
11:45Chinese industry has really intensified
11:48since 2025. We still learn through this
11:50report that automotive-related jobs in
11:52Europe have decreased by 17%in the
11:54European Union and by 30%in the United
11:56Kingdom. That is roughly 300,000 jobs in
11:59the sector that have disappeared in
12:00European countries and have been
12:02directly relocated to China.
12:04Because during that same time, the
12:06Chinese industry has hired 350,000
12:08people. So, minus 300,000 on one side,
12:11plus 350,000 on the other. Perhaps a
12:13simple coincidence, perhaps related to
12:15the fact that the Chinese are simply
12:16capable of making cars much faster, much
12:18cheaper, and much more technologically
12:20advanced, especially regarding batteries
12:22. A study that shows the center of
12:24gravity of the global automotive
12:25industry is shifting, which is quite
12:26logical. Because, for decades, Europeans
12:28were extremely competitive and good at
12:30manufacturing internal combustion
12:32engines, gearboxes, and their components
12:34, but with electric power, the deck is
12:35completely reshuffled. And even though
12:37Europe has invested 72 billion euros in
12:39battery and electric vehicle factories
12:41since 2017, meanwhile, China, which
12:43already had a 10-year lead, has invested
12:45about 10 times more. A study that takes
12:47into account not only car factories but
12:49also equipment manufacturers,
12:50subcontractors, transporters, and
12:52sometimes the entire local economy that
12:53depends on this activity. For motorists
12:55, it's a real paradox: on one hand,
12:57Chinese competition could lower prices
12:59and make cars more affordable, but on
13:01the other, if Europe gradually loses its
13:03factories and expertise, it risks
13:04becoming far more dependent on China to
13:06build its vehicles. That wraps up
13:08today's news. I hope you found this
13:09video interesting. If so, as always,

13:17next one, ciao.
