What are the domestic convertible cars?

Domestic convertible cars include: BYD S8, Peugeot RCZ, Hongqi H7 Convertible Edition, Mazda MA-5, MG TF, etc. A convertible refers to a car with a foldable and openable roof, which can be divided into hardtop and soft-top based on the roof structure. Most convertibles are two-door models. Taking the BYD S8 as an example, it is a hardtop convertible sports car under BYD, with dimensions of 4490mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1405mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2520mm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension, with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout.
Domestic convertibles are actually quite rare, but there are a few worth noting. I remember SAIC's MG Cyberster has been quite popular recently—this electric convertible sports car packs a punch and turns heads wherever it goes. Additionally, Hongqi has introduced the H9 convertible concept, which leans toward luxury and offers a comfortable ride. There are also some older models, like the limited-edition convertible version of the Chery QQ, which can still be found in the used car market. As a car enthusiast, I feel that domestic convertibles have developed a bit slowly, mainly because convertible designs aren't very practical in our climate—leaking during rainy seasons or getting stuffy in extreme heat. However, electrification might improve this. If buying, the Cyberster would be my top choice—though pricey, its maintenance is affordable.
