Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Jaecoo E5
AI generated from our expert reviews
You will find distinct driving positions in these two. In the Cupra Formentor, you can set the seat to go pretty low, whereas the Jaecoo E5's seat is quite high even in its lowest setting. On twisty roads, the Formentor can corner really fast while staying absolutely flat in Sport mode, but picking up the pace in the E5 causes the body to lean too much, and vague steering makes it tricky to place accurately and confidently in your lane. Both cabins share an annoyance with temperature adjustments: the Cupra's touch-sensitive climate controls are annoying to use on the move, while the Jaecoo's lack of physical climate controls is annoying because you have to swipe up on the screen to make adjustments. In the back, both cars have a hard centre rear seat, meaning a third passenger in the middle is not going to be particularly comfortable for longer journeys.
