Yes, they are Champions, purchased from a reputable retailer for the March 2021 MOT, and they were still perfectly serviceable. What really annoyed me was the fact that the black finish had faded badly, and rust was starting to appear on the pivots. Not what you want to view from the driver's seat! Also, the u-clip on the arms did not engage with them very positively, despite being very hard to remove. And they squeaked and smeared alot.....the new wipers address all of these complaints, but it will be interesting to see how they perform in the long term.
My daily driver is a July 2020 Hyundai Ioniq, which still has its original wipers, which look identical to these. At 22000 miles, they still look and perform like new, with no colour fading, rust, squeaking or smearing.
