Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Jaecoo 7
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you want a high seating position with a good view of the road ahead, the Jaecoo 7 delivers it, whereas you should go elsewhere if you want that from the Cupra Formentor, whose seat can be set to go pretty low. When you reach a good country road, the Formentor comes into its own, while the Jaecoo 7 feels slightly out of its depths on a twisty road. Both SUVs let in sound at speed, with rather a lot of road noise from the Formentor's wide tyres on the motorway, and more motorway road noise than you would like in the Jaecoo 7. In the back seats, both models treat passengers to plenty of headroom. For carrying cargo, the Jaecoo 7 has a bigger boot than the Cupra Formentor.
