Compare the Ford Kuga vs Jaecoo 5
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you are weighing up the Ford Kuga and the Jaecoo 5, the longer Kuga offers more power as well as a larger boot, both with the rear seats in place and folded down. The two feel quite different on a country lane, where the Kuga inspires confidence with minimal body lean and a surprising amount of steering feel, whereas the Jaecoo leans too much and has vague steering that is not confidence-inspiring. Both cars are quiet when cruising at motorway speeds, though getting up to speed is noisy in each. Inside, both SUVs feature fiddly on-screen climate controls, and taller drivers might wish the driver's seat would drop a bit lower in either car.
