JAC QX -Hybrid PHEV

I picked up the car over a month ago, in January. I've been driving a JAC vehicle for nearly 7 years. Just as I saw the JAC QX PHEV hit the market, after researching for a while and considering the preferential policies (old car trade-in + interest-free loan), the price advantage was significant. I used to deliver goods, but this year I plan to develop my own business at home, so I don't need such a large vehicle anymore. In our small county town, electric vehicles seem very suitable due to low costs, so I chose this model.

I've driven it for about 2,000 kilometers now, and I'd like to briefly share my experience with this car.

First, the advantages: First, the space is sufficient. Both the seating space and storage space are very good, which I deeply appreciate. Just recently, during the New Year visits to relatives, it wasn't crowded at all even when fully occupied. The trunk was packed with lots of New Year goods, firecrackers, and other miscellaneous items; it really can hold a lot. Second, it's fuel-efficient. As a hybrid car, it's convenient to charge at home. I just park it in the yard and pull out a cable, which works fine. I basically drive in pure electric mode, focusing on green travel in response to the national call. Third, the seat comfort is high. The seats have good wrapping, much more comfortable than my previous JAC Yijiaqin.

Disadvantages: 1. The new car has a strong smell. It rained frequently during that period, so there weren't many opportunities to ventilate, which was a bit troublesome. 2. The chassis is a bit stiff. The road in my hometown isn't very good, and there's a明显 bumpy feeling when driving on potholed roads. 3. No 360-degree panoramic view, which is a bit disappointing.

Summary: For me, this car fits my life very well. Personally, I still like this car very much. Although there are缺点, being suitable is the most important thing.

【Car Purchase Experience】
Speaking of the car purchase experience, it was just a chance encounter. I saw JAC Motors doing a live stream on Douyin, and accidentally left a phone number there. It was really an unintended success. A few days later, a salesperson called me to communicate, asking if I was interested in this car. They gave me a price within my budget over the phone, and then we discussed going to the store to see the car. I had been关注 the QX PHEV for a long time and compared it with other models. I felt that the QX's cost performance was more in line with my car usage needs. As an old JAC user, my first car in life was the JAC Refine S2, which has driven about 80,000 kilometers without any problems. So I still quite recognize the quality of JAC cars.

【Driving Experience】
The power is naturally needless to say. It starts quickly and accelerates fast, and the power transition between the engine and the motor is very smooth, with no sense of frustration. The steering wheel has very little play, basically achieving a unity of man and car. The chassis is very solid when driving on the highway, and it doesn't feel unstable at all even above 120 km/h. It's a very easy-to-handle big toy.

【Range】
In fact, the range is also a selling point of this car. Among models of the same level, the range level is also at the ceiling level. A full charge can run about 90 kilometers in winter. The electricity consumption on the highway is slightly higher, but it is still acceptable. Hybrid models basically have no range anxiety, and the pure electric range basically meets the commuting needs for going to work and returning home.

【Space Performance】
In terms of space, I think this car performs very well. The front row space is spacious. After adjusting the driver's seat, the rear row also has good legroom. The trunk storage space is also very large. What's more, the rear seats can be folded down to form a big bed, so you don't have to stay in a hotel when traveling. It's a mobile home.

【Most Dissatisfied】
I have had the car for a month and haven't noticed anything particularly unsatisfactory. But if I have to say something unsatisfactory, it's that the windshield wipers can't be raised, which is rather useless. But it seems to have a maintenance mode. I'll study it when I have time 😃😃

【Intelligence】
It has practical functions such as 360-degree panoramic reversing image and remote start. There is a mobile APP remote control function, which allows you to turn on the air conditioner and unlock the doors in advance. The voice recognition Zhiling accompanies you all over the world, full of a sense of technology, bringing all-round protection and a sense of security to the driver and passengers.

【Car Purchase Experience】
This is my second car. The first one was more of a utility vehicle, a Dongfeng Xiaokang minivan. This car can be considered my first family car as it meets family needs. At this price point, I chose a new energy hybrid mainly to be able to enter the urban area. A pure electric vehicle wasn't suitable because my home is still some distance from the city, so a hybrid was just right. As for why I chose such an unknown car, it was entirely based on the recommendation of the agricultural machinery station chief. JAC started with pickup trucks; city people may rarely hear of it, but in rural areas, we are somewhat familiar with it. So I chose the car somewhat blindly.

【Driving Experience】
The power is quite sufficient, and I'm quite satisfied with the fuel consumption. I prefer driving in pure electric mode, but the range is too short. When the battery level drops below 20%, the engine kicks in, and the顿挫感 becomes more noticeable than in pure electric mode. The actual pure electric driving range on a full charge without engine intervention is only about 70 kilometers. The brakes are relatively soft. How to put it, on rainy days, there seems to be a short final sinking part that is ineffective brake travel. They say it's the ABS anti-lock braking function, but personally, I feel it's not great when cornering, especially in areas with many curves.

【Most Dissatisfying】
The seats don't feel good to me. The front seats have serious sagging; the thigh support is a bit too high, and the seat cushion area is a bit too sunken. No matter how I adjust them, it's almost the same. I prefer being able to see the front of the car when driving, as it gives me a sense of security, so I have to put something under me. Maybe I'm just too particular about my habits.
