AI generated from our expert reviews

If practicality is your priority, the Dacia Bigster has the advantage, offering a bigger boot than the Jaecoo 7 whether the rear seats are upright or folded. The Bigster also remains comfortable and feels stable once you reach the national limit, whereas the Jaecoo 7 is disappointing at higher speeds because its crashy suspension is exaggerated when cruising. Step inside and the Jaecoo 7 trims the dashboard, armrests and door tops in soft leatherette and pleasant plastics, with scratchier finishes found only lower down. In contrast, the Bigster's cabin materials are uniformly hard, scratchy plastic. On twistier roads, both cars share light steering that provides little to almost no feedback about what the front wheels are doing.
