Compare the Ford Explorer vs Jaecoo 7
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Ford Explorer and the Jaecoo 7 can feel unsettled in town, with suspension that struggles over potholes and bumps. You will also find that rear visibility is disappointing in both cars, and tall passengers sitting in the back might find kneeroom tight or struggle for space. If you plan to tow, the Jaecoo 7 can pull a heavier load than the Explorer. Head out onto the motorway, however, and their manners diverge. While the Jaecoo 7 disappoints at higher speeds because road noise builds up and its crashy suspension is exaggerated at a cruise, the Explorer settles down nicely as you go faster, keeping its cabin hushed at speed.
