AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Chery Tiggo 7 and the Ford Explorer feature a completely flat floor in the back and offer good rear headroom, though both cars also have a very narrow rear window. When it comes to stretching out in the second row, the Tiggo 7 provides plenty of kneeroom, whereas taller passengers may struggle for knee room in the Explorer. On twisty roads, their driving manners differ considerably. The Tiggo 7 has oddly weighted steering that is not very predictable, alongside soft suspension that wallows over bumps and leans in the bends. In contrast, the Explorer delivers sharp, direct steering with very little body roll as you push on through the corners.
