I test drove the Peugeot 2008, Lynk & Co 06, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai Elantra — I was mainly looking for something with good looks. The Peugeot was too small and shaky, the Lynk was better but pricey, and the Elantra looked nice but had poor noise insulation and a stiff ride. The Seltos had the weakest engine but was the most comfortable — soft suspension, which is why I chose it. I’ve driven around 600 km so far. The engine is weak, no doubt, but the throttle response is decent — it doesn’t feel too sluggish. The interior looks nice from a distance, but it’s mostly hard plastic. Press on the dashboard and it creaks. Noise insulation is great in low speeds, but once you hit the highway, wind and tire noise get loud. I’m planning to change the tires when I can. I bought it mainly for the front-end design and the good discount. My advice? If you’re not getting at least 20,000 SAR off the MSRP, don’t buy it — not worth it. If you care about looks and the badge, it’s fine. But if you’re after quality and features, Chinese cars in this price range offer better value.

How long does it take to get a car after ordering a Cetus?

For those who have this car, how is the door strength? My Soul gets a small dent with just a slight bump! I'm considering switching to the Seltos!

Is the CVT in the Setus a steel chain or steel belt? The 7.99 version only lacks those two LED lights, right? It still uses halogen lights. I was initially considering the new TuYue 799 version, but when I saw that even the spare tire was downgraded, I was immediately discouraged. Now I'm looking at the Honda Binzhi and Setus. The Binzhi is 10,000 more expensive, so I'm considering the Setus. The only concern is why the headlights are still halogen.

Which one is better, the Cetus or the K3?

How does the 1.5 Cetus perform on long-distance, high-speed drives? Is the power sufficient, and does it struggle to reach 120 km/h?

This car looks really cool, so why are the sales so low and there are so few dealerships? Is it because of the quality? I really like it, but I'm also conflicted about whether it's worth buying.
