Commuting 33 km, range drops from 110 to 60 by the time I get to the office—scary [cover face]. Does this thing consume that much fuel?

Has anyone experienced the same issue with the 2016 Jeep Renegade? When driving at speeds of 60-80 km/h over manhole covers or bumpy roads, the rear end feels loose (swaying side to side). The car hasn't been in any accidents, the rubber bushings seem fine, and the wheel alignment data is normal.

Looking to buy, need some insights. If I want to get an X, are there any issues that are not apparent at first but show up after some time? Any precautions or things I should be aware of? Seems like there aren't many competitors at the same price range, right? No other options [facepalm].

Why does the Ford Territory suddenly lose power and then accelerate again multiple times when normally accelerating to 60 km/h?

Is anyone looking to change their car? I'm considering buying a personal first-hand car with a 400 km range for commuting.

Ask Haval Jolion owners, how much fuel does it consume per 100 km in city driving conditions, with a traffic light every kilometer?

Is the 2013 manual Jetta considered fuel-consuming if it has a 55L tank, costs around 420 yuan for a full tank, and runs slightly over 600 kilometers, with city driving not exceeding 60 km/h?

Why does the remaining range drop so quickly when idling with the AC on? Stayed for two hours and the range dropped by 60 kilometers [crying]. Didn't even drive the car, is the fuel consumption really that high? Does everyone experience this?

My 2014 car has 71,000 km on it and there's been a persistent smell inside for a long time. I've removed the floor mats and seat covers but still can't find the source. Do any fellow car owners have the same issue? How did you solve it?

After 8 years with my old petrol car, it started burning oil, and I noticed a lot of people around me were switching to electric vehicles. That got me thinking. I was originally planning to get the top-spec Tank 300 (Menglong), and during the National Day holiday I went for a test drive — it met my expectations.On the way back, I stopped by a Jetour dealership and saw the T2. My daughter instantly fell in love with the exterior and interior — it completely overshadowed the Menglong in her eyes. Looks clearly played a big role, and after a test drive, it felt good enough. Since I don’t really need 4WD for daily driving, I booked it right away. Looking back now, I do wish I had waited for the 4WD version — a bit more power would’ve been nice.For this type of vehicle, electric power saves a lot. For daily use, my cost is just around 0.10 AED/km (charging at home on off-peak rates of 3.3 AED/kWh). My daily round-trip to work is under 20 km, so I only charge every four days, when the battery hits around 20%.For long-distance trips, I don’t bother with charging — it’s too much hassle. I just set the car to preserve 60% battery and drive on petrol. Even if fuel consumption is slightly higher, it’s fine since I only do a few road trips per year.The car is heavy and feels solid on the road. Acceleration is decent, but the 4WD version definitely would’ve offered better power and confidence. I’ve had the car for over half a year now. So far, the only issue has been a slight noise from the steering system — which was fixed. Other than that, no major problems. Buying a car always involves a bit of luck anyway.The biggest downside is the driver assistance system — it lags behind the competition. The infotainment system has improved a bit with the latest 4.11 update, but it still has room for improvement.Overall, I’m quite satisfied. Compared to many newer EV startups, Chery is an established brand. The lifetime warranty adds a lot of peace of mind, especially on the powertrain and electric components.

Since I got the car, I’ve driven it a few times on intercity highways and elevated city roads. At first, fuel consumption was quite high — around 12 L/100 km — but after some regular use, it dropped to 7.8. It hasn’t gone any lower since then, even though I’ve only driven about 500 km in less than a month. Honestly, every time I refuel, it stings a little 😅. This is my first car, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but driving feels smooth overall. Once you hit 100 km/h, tire noise becomes noticeable, but throttle response during overtaking is pretty decent. The thing that annoyed me most is the infotainment system. There’s no built-in CarPlay, so I bought an external adapter. While it technically works, Bluetooth is unstable, and the navigation voice won’t come through the car speakers. On top of that, the system randomly activates and starts saying weird things, and the voice assistant sometimes greets you with “Hi” and other times with “I’m here” — honestly, it feels awkward. I’m not sure if all Japanese brands do this, or just this one. As for interior space, the rear seat area is quite good, but the new car smell is still strong, so I’ve thrown in a bunch of charcoal bags to absorb it. Overall, I’m satisfied for a first car, but there are definitely things that could be better.
