Chery Jetour Dasheng

I am quite satisfied with my Chery Jetour Dasheng. Its power is sufficient with quick response, and the column-mounted shifter is easy to use without misoperation issues. The safety features like forward collision warning, emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, automatic headlights, and rain wipers are comprehensive and convenient, especially lane keeping + ACC adaptive cruise on highways which makes driving easier. The 19-inch wheels and chassis tuning provide great stability at high speeds (120km/h with 2000rpm). The infotainment system works well without lag or black screen. Currently, after around 2000km, the fuel consumption is 12L/100km; it's expected to be 9-10L in the city and 8L in suburbs after the break-in period. ECO mode is more fuel-efficient with softer power, while standard mode offers sufficient power and quick response with slightly higher fuel consumption. The sport mode is rarely used as it's powerful but not fuel-efficient. The chassis is sport-tuned, a bit stiff with obvious vibration over speed bumps, but it enhances cornering stability. Highlights include sharp daytime running lights, split headlights, cornering assist lights, spacious rear seats, and very soft seats like a Japanese "moving sofa". My main dissatisfaction is the lack of a built-in dashcam and ambient lights, especially since the 540-degree HD camera doesn't include a recording function. The sales service was good with attentive pre-sales, in-sales, and after-sales follow-up.

I don't have much driving experience, but my Chery Jetour Dasheng drives more comfortably than my uncle's Peugeot. The auto-hold function is really useful at traffic lights. I've driven over 500 km in a month, mostly in the city, and the fuel consumption is 9 L/100 km. My main complaints are that the hood doesn't have hydraulic struts and the instrument cluster is smaller than expected.

For my Chery Jetour Dasheng, the first batch has some quality issues reported by other owners, though mine works fine. The remaining range display is inaccurate, showing 560-688 km after refueling. I'm disappointed there's no roof rack. The Ultra trim has great features: vibrating and heated steering wheel, massaging "Queen Seat", and useful HUD with lane guidance, distance, speed, and range, adjustable height, and a snow mode with softer blue light. The infotainment system, though not perfect, has handy functions like camera checks, three wake words (including customizable "Hello Jetour"), auto window control for PM2.5/smoking, power tailgate via long-pressing the window lock button, phone-car navigation sync, a hidden passenger hook, and rear cup holder storage. Space is surprisingly roomy; even as a 176cm, 85kg person, I'm comfortable in the back. Current fuel consumption is 9L/100km in city/elevated roads before the first service, expecting it to drop below 8L later. The Chery engine is excellent, providing ample power for highway overtaking (not in Eco mode). Eco mode feels sluggish; Standard mode is better. No jerking experienced. The chassis is firm, but seats (including rear with航空头枕 and recline) are very comfortable for long rides.
