Compare the Ford Explorer vs Jaecoo E5
AI generated from our expert reviews
In town, both cars struggle to smooth out the road, with the suspension in each never really settling over rough surfaces or potholes. Take them onto the motorway, however, and both settle down nicely, providing a hushed and relatively quiet cabin at speed. When the road starts to twist, their driving manners quickly part ways. The Ford Explorer has sharp, direct steering and exhibits very little body roll through bends, whereas the Jaecoo E5 leans too much when you pick up the pace and its vague steering makes accurate placement tricky. In the back, the Explorer offers a reasonably comfortable middle seat if you are carrying three passengers, while the middle rider in the E5 must put up with a hard, raised perch that is not particularly comfortable for longer journeys.
