AI generated from our expert reviews

The Chery Tiggo 7 is longer than the Kia EV3 and has a bigger boot. In the back, both cars give you plenty of headroom and legroom, and both feature a completely flat floor. Up front, the Kia EV3 has a large glovebox and large door bins, whereas the Chery Tiggo 7 has a glovebox that is a bit narrow and door bins that are too small for a big water bottle. When you drive on a twisty road, neither SUV is much fun.
