AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Ford Explorer and the Jaecoo 5 have suspension that struggles to settle over potholes and poor road surfaces in town, though both settle down at motorway speeds. Head onto a twisty road, however, and the Explorer offers sharp, direct steering with very little body roll through corners, whereas the Jaecoo 5 leans too much and its vague steering is not confidence-inspiring. You will also find the Ford Explorer is more powerful than the Jaecoo 5. In the back seats, headroom is pretty good in the Explorer, but the Jaecoo 5 is a bit tight on headroom.
