SLICK: Jaecoo J7’s Powertrain feels like the best compact Chinese SUV on the market.
We were used to the proposals we received from Chinese car brands in South Africa. Just to put us, give us a luxury at favorable prices.
Last month, I wrote an article asking whether the whole Chinese compact road was the same. In writing, my thoughts, brands suggested similar features and similar engines, but despite this similarity, they work well to mix both internal and external images to their cars.
But then there is Jaecoo J7. This adds a completely new measure to compact or medium-sized SUVs. It doesn’t seem anything like Baic Beijing X55, OMODA C5 or Jetour Dashing, but there is something highly written everywhere.
J7 has a large chrome grille in the front, subtle, curved LED daytime headlines and LED headlights.
However, the back and side profile of the car is really where it is really alive. It starts to give the vibe of the Verbage Range Rover, with the entrance door handles and the shortness of the shortness.
There is also a sharp light bar behind the vehicle – most of the manufacturers are moving forward to this day – and adds sports to a high-level appearance.
PowerTrain and drive
Jaecoo J7 comes in three variants: Vortex, Glacier and Inferno. There are 1.6-liter turbomet gasoline engines with all three, 145 kilowatt-up power and 290nm torque. The first two options are front-wheeled drivers, and the Inferno is all wheeled.
More than 1.5 liters of Chinese SUVs, which are most of the most of them, the 1.6-liter turbocominated engine is also refreshed. This engine responds more than 1.5 engine.
When a reaction to the speed of the footponer or a delayed reaction, he did not feel most of the spine as a reaction that accelerates your waist, but the speed, rapidly and linearly was easily selected.
It was also rapidly. A lot of 145 kW many oomphs and of course manage the power of the power once you are on the open road. The steering first had a touch of touch, but once I’m used to it, it feels firmly and comfortably.
The only negative aspect is that the larger engine does not do much to help fuel consumption. Jaecoo claims that you should receive 7 liters / 100 km / 100 km in the glacier, but I could not bring it down 8.5 liters / 100 km.
Interior
Jaecoo combined the sturdy visible dashboard, because the interior can do in love with this car, because it has some luxury touches.
It is a 14.8-inch, portrait form, 14.8-inch, to manage the vehicle settings connected to the 10.25-inch digital tool cluster, connected to Dashboard. There is also a heading screen and driver tracking system that discovers the attention and sleep.
Seats are the winner in this vehicle. Forget the bucket seats, these skin sacrifices are hugs tightly and warm or cool, and warm it and ventilated. The seats in J7 emphasize the convenience of Jaecoo.
Apart from Range Rover, these are the most comfortable car seats where I live. The only reason for those who are not comfortable as the latter are not a massage function.
Jaecoo This inner feeling took care of you. There is a wide range of both the front and behind and in all storage units have a wide range of rooms for your belongings and large pulls.
Each time you open the door, you can go back to the seat, and when you climb back each time, the seat is in line with your choice. If this is so humanity in cars, why are only one of many autonomous features that make people think that people cannot be?
Safe
There are many security features in J7. These include 360 ​​degree camera system, striped helper, blind dotting, rear traffic signal and door-to-boot warning.
Once in a Chinese car, the security features were not overly high and I did not want to turn me immediately. My steering wheel did not have a chance for any reason, did not feel like he did not want to take me very strongly on the highway. I have to take my hat to Jaecoo for this.
Verdict
J7 is superior in all areas. Luxury, performance, comfort and care.
Vortex Trim starts at R549 000, the glacier comes in R579 000 and the Inferno is priced at R679 000.
J7 with this price and all these features is definitely a value for money product.
