Chinese Car Club UAE

Hey all,

I have always been a car guy. I am already a member of several car clubs with my other classic cars. I bought a Chinese vehicle last year and always wondered that there should be a community for Chinese vehicle owners. So here I am taking some effort to make one.

Objectives of the Community:

- Share user experience with each other. Help each other if someone has a doubt or concern.

- Enjoy exclusive offers on upgrades, mods, and maintenance.

- Build a panel of reputed garages that work well on Chinese vehicles and provide great pricing to the members.

- Trying our best to provide spare parts support to our members.

- Socialize with each other.

- Eventually organize meetups, maybe some offroad drives also.

I am already in talks with a lot of reputed companies here. Search for this thread title on IG and FB where you can see the offers once we have finalized them.

I welcome all of you....

Wired Carplay / Carlinkit not working for Geely Monjaro 2026

​

I generally use an Android and can usually connect to cars with apple Carplay with the CarLink kit AI TBox. It even worked on the 2024/25 Monjaro model

However, I tried connecting a CarLink Kit - The AI Tbox one - doesn't recognize and only blinks green.

I have tried connecting a spare iphone (without sim) by wire - it doesn't recognize it. Seems like wireless CarPlay works while wired doesn't.

I have literally gone through all the menus without success.

Any support would be appreciated on how I can connect my android phone without the Carbitlink App which mirrors the phone.

Do you think the G700 or B8 will ever reach iconic status in GCC as the Patrol, Land Cruisers did in the past?

What are the real-world problems with the Jetour T2 2025? (Owners please share)

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to make a series of posts about Chinese cars where actual owners share honest feedback — especially the negatives that don’t show up in reviews.

If you own a Jetour T2 2025, I’d really appreciate your input on the following:

Reliability so far (any breakdowns, warning lights, recurring issues?)

Engine & gearbox performance (smoothness, lag, overheating, etc.)

Fuel consumption in real daily use

Spare parts availability (easy or hard to find? waiting times?)

Service costs (dealer vs outside garages)

Agency/service center experience

Build quality (interior wear, rattles, paint quality)

Electronics & infotainment (bugs, screen lag, sensor issues)

AC performance (important for GCC weather)

Suspension & comfort (city + highway + off-road)

Resale value and market demand

Insurance costs and any issues with claims

Accessories availability (aftermarket parts, mods, off-road gear)

Off-road capability (real experience, not specs)

Any regrets after buying the car?

Did you buy it out of agency or within ?

If you bought it out of agency what’s the best warranty service you got and you feel it worth the money ?

Feel free to share both positives and negatives — the goal is to help others make informed decisions.

Thanks in advance 🙏

I want it to be real guide for users and future prospective users who plan to buy it

What are the REAL problems with the BYD Leopard 5 (PHEV)?

Now this is the new BEAST ! That I really hope it’s up to the game of competition! I tried it last week in AlAwir and really liked it so much ! But the price isn’t entering my brain ! 179k aed with warranty ! 😤😢 I would pay it if we had excellent long term feedback on the car !

Today I want real-world feedback from Leopard 5 owners in the UAE

Please focus on the negatives and issues you faced after ownership, not just general impressions.

Main problems & reliability

Any breakdowns, warning lights, or recurring issues?

Anything that made you visit the garage more than expected?

Battery & PHEV downsides

Which version do you have? (small ~32 kWh or big ~48 kWh)

Real electric range vs advertised

What happens when battery is low? (performance drop / fuel consumption)

Any long-term battery concerns?

Fuel & daily driving

Fuel consumption once battery is empty

Does the car feel too heavy in real use?

Warranty & service

Which warranty provider are you using?

Any issues with claims or delays?

Do you trust it long term?

Did you face any problem for service or warranty

How much you paid for warranty ?

Spare parts & repairs

Parts availability in UAE vs ordering from China

Waiting time for parts

Any expensive repairs so far?

How much is consumables like break pads , air filters oil filters etc.

Price & market

How much did you buy it for? (to track price changes in current timing as prices increased once I checked it twice!)

Is resale difficult? How about resale value ?

Tech & system issues

Infotainment bugs, lag, crashes?

Language / region lock issues?

Connectivity or update problems?

Off-road performance issues

Any problems in sand driving ?

Overheating or system limitations?

How reliable is it in tough conditions?

Biggest regrets

What disappointed you the most?

What would you warn new buyers about?

Would you buy it again?

Appreciate honest feedback — trying to understand the real ownership experience.

Most importantly don’t believe the manufacturer about the range I saw two content creators did full review on range ! Non reached above 700 km so basically what ever Chinese saying about range , divide it by 2 😓

G700 Experience

Here is my 2 cents after 1,500 km with the Jetour G700 (Flagship).

First and foremost, I am still very angry at Jetour for not providing a 5-seater in the Flagship trim, or for giving way less equipment in the 5-seater trim, especially fewer airbags.

Okay, I’m calm!

Jokes aside, I enjoy the car, especially its maneuverability considering its size. OMG! Anyone who knows the Mazaya Business Avenue parking lot will understand me better.

The hardware-to-price ratio is top-level when compared with others.

It looks muscular, yet it is very smooth to drive. The cabin has a pretty driver-friendly setup.

Quality? That is questionable, as with every car. We will know more after a few years.

Oh I just remember now! Why is there no folding table or extending leg support on the middle-left seat? There can be more than one boss on some trips.

I checked the central screen, and it felt very solid. The plastic feeling of the speaker covers kills the mood a bit, but it is absolutely not a dealbreaker.

I didn’t have a chance to test the rear screen on a bumpy road, so no comment on that.

Passengers gave good feedback about the comfort of the middle seats.

Those rear seats still reduce valuable loading space, even though they are foldable.

There are some weird things I hope will be fixed in software updates:

-The first point will be the 130 km/h ACC limitation. It should be at least 145.

-Android Auto goes offline when you use the indicator.

-The media fast-forward/reverse button sometimes works and sometimes does not.

-Pressing the volume control wheel mutes the media but does not unmute it (It has only unmuted twice so far)

-Android Auto connection issues.

-I still could not find a way to reset the “since reset” mileage.

-The trip computer is poor. I like data so I can evaluate things.

-The lady who shouts like crazy when you want to speed up while ACC or LCC is on.

I would like to hear from other owners whether they hear a weird diesel-like noise from the engine around 1,500–1,600 rpm. It is very annoying.

Also I would like to hear dune bashing experiences.

I would be happy with:

-More customization options for such a good dashboard or central screen.

-Slightly better lateral support on the seats, like in a sports car.

-Less dramatic proximity sensor noise (Come on! I still have 50 cm to the wall!)

I will add more when I remember.

Disclaimer: My above comments come from my experience with various brands like VW, Toyota, Škoda, Maserati, Jeep, Hyundai, etc., but this is my very first SUV.

Super Happy with the Geely Monjaro GF+

Car park assist is awesome 😅

The HUD is awesome..

But coming from a car that only has Regular CC...

G-Pilot and ACC feels off to me... might need a bit of time to get used to it.

But as a Samsung phone only user, what are my options... Phone mirror is shit tbh.

Is buying a spare iphone the only choice here..😅

From someone driving ol reliable cars for years,

Driving a fully loaded car that does not break the bank is awesome.
