I'm currently also looking for a new car.....look see look see but not urgent to replace my 12 years old car. Was looking at CX30, CX5 and Corolla Cross but this Jaecoo J7 is very tempting, just that not sure of the reliability of China car. I'm looking for reliability and car that can last more that 12 years.
Looking back 10 to 15 years ago where the Korean car hype (like now China car) for example Kia Forte, Hyundai Sonata with fresh design and pricing which many says will overtake Japanese cars soon. But now after 10 to 15 years where are they? Still reliable? I'm not sure.
So, for China car I will wait and see as I am not rich enough to gamble on their car yet.

Sadly, i can say is because of pricing. Their car price gone up a lot over the years.
I do like Kia cars, especially Carnival but sadly out of my budget (over 2xxk)
