JAECOO 7
A new menu brings relief – but we would sooner order buttons
MILEAGE 1968 WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT To find out why newcomer Jaecoo is one of the UK’s fastest-growing brands
I’ve got a confession. In my previous report, I said the Jaecoo had no auto-hold function, having scrolled through various settings in an effort to find it (following the growing scourge of dashboard design, there are very few actual buttons). It turns out I’m wrong, but I only found out by chance when I was swiping on the main screen to get rid of one menu, when another – one I hadn’t seen before – suddenly appeared. This one housed a series of shortcuts for major functions, and there, praise be, was an auto-hold option. The start/stop restarting is still frustratingly slow, but at least I’m not rolling backwards down inclines any more.
