The Chinese knockoff of the Range Rover Defender. AKA Jetour Traveller.
While it doesn’t look bad for a looks perspective, I’d be curious to know what a train wreck it is in terms of driving performance..

Okay, I had two separate threads for each car because I wanted to discuss each one separately as my experiences were different.
Now they've been merged so naturally, discussions will not be easy to follow.
So basically, the Jeetour was a disaster because it did not drive like an SUV, under powered when you needed it, and the un-deactivatable driving assists features kicked in when they didn't have to and almost got me into accidents.
The BYD seals was an awesome car, it drove much better than my brother in laws tesla model 3 and i felt the build quality was outstanding. I needed to get used to the electric part of it as far as regenerative braking and other features were involved. I had the 4WD drive version which punched over 500hp.

You should start a thread on the BYD in the EV section of the forum.

Thank you @FrankReynoldsCPA , I was thinking that's what OP was trying to say but didn't want to assume.
Could've fooled me because fit & finish looks ok in the pic but I know how that can be deceiving sometimes.
For real?
Good gosh, it gets worse for this Land Rover wanna be. Haha.
Hope you are ok friend, looks like minor damage but who knows

Textbook case of why cheaply implemented assist systems are better left off a car entirely. Do it right or not at all
