Compare the BMW X1 vs Jaecoo 7
AI generated from our expert reviews
When you fold the rear seats down, the BMW X1 gives you more space than the Jaecoo 7. You also get decent all-round visibility in the BMW with help from its large rear window, whereas rear visibility in the Jaecoo is disappointing. Over urban bumps, the X1 rounds them off nicely on the whole so you can make smooth progress, but the Jaecoo 7 is not that comfortable over bumps and potholes, with an audible crash resonating through the cockpit on bad roads. On twisty roads, both cars leave you with little feel or idea of front-wheel grip through the steering. Step inside and you will find that both models rely on touchscreen menus that are fiddly to change settings on while on the move.
