AI generated from our expert reviews

The Chery Tiggo 8 is longer and more powerful than the Lexus LBX, and it provides a third row of seats where the Lexus does not. When installing child seats, both cars have ISOFIX mounting points that are really easy to access, and both exhibit quite a lot of body lean through bends. Their driving manners differ noticeably elsewhere. Around town, the Tiggo 8 is not very comfortable as it fidgets and wallows over bumps and dips, whereas the LBX delivers a softer ride over rough surfaces. Once you reach a motorway cruise, the Lexus proves very quiet, while the Chery lets in quite a lot of wind and road noise.
