The former, entry-level version rides on 17-inch steel wheels and includes such features as automatic LED head- and taillamps, rain-sensing wipers, front and rear park distance sensors supplemented by a 540-degree camera system, and keyless entry and start. Pro specification further includes an 8.8-inch digital driver’s display, 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment, a four-speaker sound system, climate control, and a panoramic sunroof. Safety-wise, six airbags, tyre pressure monitoring, and cruise control are standard across the range.

The Max also features a more comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and driver attention alert. Five colours are available for the T1, namely Flowing Silver, Midnight Grey, Dawn White, Twilight Purple, and Vana Blue.

Yeah half these companies won't be around in 5-10 years... I think GWM, Cherry and the bigger names with local production will make it but no way we have the amrket for 50 different chinese brands. It could be a push into Africa and testing the waters in SA but then EV's become less relevant so not sure what the angle would be.
