I spent a weekend with the Brabus #5 and I’m thrilled! Extremely quiet, even at just under 220 km/h. Very good ride comfort, especially if, like me, you prefer a softer setup for better suspension comfort!
Brutal acceleration that only really hits from about 50 km/h and culminates in a 0–200 km/h sprint in 10.2 seconds… There are almost no cars up to roughly 1,000 hp that are faster!
The actual charging performance is, I believe, the best of any passenger car available in the EU (only Zeekr shows a little more on paper, but probably not in real life) — it charges at peaks up to 425 kW! 10–80% in 13 minutes and 5–100% in 28 minutes.
The fit and finish are in places better than the Mercedes E‑Class...

Apart from the hopefully soon improved/reduced chimes and the horrendously hard-to-reach mute for the speed warning, the car is really a knockout!
Very, very quiet, comfortable, extremely fast (Brabus version), great build quality, great equipment!

Jaecoo 7

The Jaecoo 7 is a striking compact SUV that pairs bold, modern styling with a spacious, well-equipped cabin aimed at families and tech-minded buyers. It offers strong value, a comfortable ride and plenty of gadgetry, though you should weigh dealer support and long-term ownership reputation when deciding.

Those who buy Chinese are destroying their jobs!
If your neighbor who makes cars in France stops making them, he won't be able to buy what you sell anymore!
