Ha!
I'm not that cheap 😉
Interestingly, the only bad YouTube review you'll find for the J7 is by What Car, but I reckon MG probably paid them far more than that to write it 😉😉😉

That famous German sense of humour 🤣

If you get the chance, test drive one. It will honestly surprise you. The advanced PHEV is the pick of the bunch.

Yep. It's fast, but that's all it's got. The Manager whose company car this is, prefers to drive one of our diesel vans home instead - which speaks volumes

There is that. It's full of clever tech, too. Loads of reviews on YouTube, if you fancy a gander.

We have one at work. Everybody hates it.

We were buying a VW Touarag (60k 3 year warranty)
This has a 100k 7 year warranty. Better still, when buying you get the option of spending £350 extra, which covers all servicing costs for 3 years. A major service alone on a Rangie is north of £1400

Absolutely yes - especially at the rear. It's almost a Range Rover VELAR rip off.

It's an advanced PHEV hybrid - I'd never go full EV.
The lodge is lovely, but we rented it for a week recently on holiday in Cornwall

It is Chinese and absolutely nothing to do with VW (FYI the Ford Crapi is a VW I.D.4 in a frock) The Jaecoo is an advanced PHEV hybrid

Coupled to a peach of an 8 speed DSG gearbox

Leah Rebecca @leahrebecca.bsky.social · 21h

Nope, hybrid. It has a turbo petrol engine, too

Here's the front

Available in Europe, Australia, and NZ. BMW, Audi, VW, and JLR all worried, apparently. And they should be. This is, at least as good, and much, much cheaper.

Chinese - made by the Chery group... Who also make Range Rovers in China under licence.
Advanced PHEV with a range of 760 miles...

The energiser's bypassed like a Christmas tree, so don't give me too many bumps... 🖖

Jaguar didn't make a convertible - this is a coach built. Kinda works, I think 😎

Leah Rebecca @leahrebecca.bsky.social · 1d

All good here thank you, lovely 👍
And you? 😃

Isn't she a beaut? ❣️

Incidentally, for those asking how we're getting on with the Jaecoo.
It's 'I don't think we'll even consider buying a European car ever again' good. 👌

I thought so. Never seen anything like it, before.

May I have your attention, please?
Thank you. This is, after all, rather important.
It's #Caturday not Saturday.
See here's a very rare XJ12 convertible.
You're welcome 😃
Jaguar - do you?
🏁🇬🇧😎😍😎🇬🇧🏁
