AI generated from our expert reviews

Both cars give you good forward visibility from their high driving positions, and both feature scratchier plastics lower down in the cabin. At cruising speed on the motorway, the Ford Kuga has almost no tyre roar or wind noise, whereas road noise builds up noticeably the faster you go in the Jaecoo 7. On twisting country roads, the Kuga inspires confidence with a surprising amount of steering feel, while the Jaecoo’s steering provides little idea of what the front wheels are doing. When it comes to practical duties, the Kuga can tow more, has a bigger boot, and gives you more room with the back seats folded than the Jaecoo 7.
