Are there any domestic convertible cars?

There are domestic convertible cars. Definition of convertible cars: A convertible car refers to a sedan with a foldable and openable roof. Convertible cars can be divided into hardtop and soft-top models based on the roof structure. Soft-top models are more common, usually made of canvas, vinyl, or plastic as the roof material, paired with foldable supports. Hardtop models have a metal roof, which can typically be automatically opened and closed. Most convertible cars are two-door models. Benefits of convertible cars: They are suitable for joyrides and are very beneficial for relieving stress. The high-pressure and fast-paced lifestyle makes life move quickly, and people are under a lot of stress. Convertible cars do not drive very fast, and the close contact with the environment can improve one's mood.
I know that domestic cars indeed have convertible models, such as the MG TF roadster launched by MG, which combines British design with SAIC Group's domestic background, offering a good driving feel and moderate power. Roewe has also showcased the i5 convertible concept car at some auto shows. Although mass-produced versions are rare, it proves that Chinese automakers are exploring this field. The manufacturing of convertibles presents significant challenges, requiring reinforced body structures to prevent collisions, as well as solving issues like roof waterproofing and noise, which are still in the early stages of development for domestic cars. Personally, I think with the rise of the new energy trend, brands like NIO or XPeng might accelerate the launch of pure electric convertibles, given the rapid technological advancements and the ability to integrate smart features such as voice-controlled roof operation. Overall, while current options are limited, the future looks promising. I recommend keeping an eye on auto show updates or new product releases on official websites.
