For first-time buyers, purchasing a used car can be far more complicated than expected. From finding the right car to inspecting it, negotiating, verifying documents, and signing the contract—each step can hide potential pitfalls. But with some basic knowledge, you can significantly reduce the risks and make a smart purchase.

In the $22,000–$25,000 mid-size SUV segment, many family users value both flexible space and comfort and practicality for travel. The demand for “one car, multiple uses” is becoming increasingly prominent. The Jetour Shanhai L7 PLUS 2025 model has a wheelbase of 2,820 mm and offers both 5-seat and 7-seat options. Its electric seven-seat configuration supports 32 seat combination modes and has attracted attention for its multi-scenario adaptability, particularly in family travel. Its flexibility, long-range capability, and rich features align with the dual needs of daily commuting and long-distance trips. Here, we take the Jetour Shanhai L7 PLUS 2025 220km Electric 7-Seat Flagship Edition as an example to provide a detailed analysis of its comfort, range, performance, safety, and driver-assist features in practical scenarios.

Recently, spy photos of the Xiaomi YU7 GT during Nürburgring testing have surfaced, revealing a design highly similar to the SU7 Ultra with an impressive premium feel. The aggressive front lip delivers strong visual impact, while the signature family-style headlights ensure instant recognition.

The split spoiler perfectly complements the GT profile, creating an eye-catching and performance-oriented design that looks ready for mass production.

When you buy a used car for around $1,500 (roughly ¥10,000), the biggest question most drivers have is simple — how long will it last? The truth is, it depends on many factors: the car’s condition, maintenance history, and how gently it’s driven.

In the complex and competitive automotive market, whether a product can stand out often depends on how deeply it understands the specific needs of its target users. The Jetour Shanhai L7 PLUS series does not blindly pursue all-around capability; instead, it provides different configurations to precisely meet diverse lifestyles. The five-seat flagship model, by giving up the seldom-used third-row seats, focuses all its efforts on ultimate ride comfort, luxurious features, and cargo capacity—offering a compelling new option for those seeking a premium large five-seater experience.

As the global car market keeps expanding, used cars are becoming more popular than ever. After all, who wouldn’t want to drive a good car for less money? But let’s be honest — the used car market can be full of hidden traps.

With technological breakthroughs from global giants including the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Farasis Energy, Toyota, and CATL, the range limitations of new energy vehicles are being fundamentally rewritten. Doubled energy density, rapid charging rivalling refuelling, and no degradation at low temperatures – a revolution in battery technology is quietly reshaping the mobility ecosystem.
