One week and a bit review.
Covered about 600kms, with mix of urban and highway driving. Car is comfortable, with plenty power with torque from quite low down. It’s one of the more powerful 1.5T engines you get in the myriad of Chinese cars.
You have to get used to the driving dynamics as it’s quite “jumpy” on take off. You do get used to it very quickly how not to hop off the line or spin the tyres.
Petrol consumption is very Chinese

. Averaging 9.7l/100kms for now. May get a bit better once I’ve done more mileage.
Open road from Centurion to Alberton was decent at 7.4l/100kms.
Can’t fault the comfort, toys and gadgets. Doors close with a solid thud and good quality materials all round.
Extremely spacious especially in the rear but boot is just decent. Loses some space due to the spare.
Nifty 360 degree camera system with acceptable resolution.
Has level 2 autonomous driving which works well. Consistently monitors/scans the road and shows you cars/trucks/bikes and even pedestrians on the screen.
Will continue to report and update as I’m also very interested in how this plays out.
Will also post updates on dealership after sales and general interactions.
