- How difficult is it operating AC/Heating whilst running Apple Car Play/Android Auto? I seen this on Carwows video review, and that was the only downfall. Tbh, I should probs test drive and find out myself haha
- Your review is so good, and i like how you make me laugh, too, lol. I am thinking of going for this car and definitely the petrol version. How does the engine sounds please?
- Very nice car but what is holding me back is the amount of depreciation we’re likely to experience when we want to sell. There’s currently an avalanche of new cars coming from China all with newer and newer tech making existing cars instantly outdated. Also soon cars will be fitted with new longer-life (and cheaper & safer) sodium ion batteries. Who’ll want a car with lithium batteries then?
- Good review, at the moment I drive a 15 year old Lexus it still drives like a dream testament to the exceptional quality of Lexus. I’m torn between one of these or stick with a 6 or 7 year old Lexus ( about the same price as Jaecoo). You do get peace of mind with a seven year warranty but Japanese quality goes without saying. Also after driving a Lexus this Jaecoo especially the Jaecoo petrol only variant on paper is a bit sluggish. Cheers for the review, definitely a very nice car with some excellent tech.
