Compare the Ford Kuga vs Jaecoo E5
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Ford Kuga is longer than the Jaecoo E5, and the two behave very differently on winding tarmac. On a country lane, the Kuga inspires confidence with minimal body lean and a surprising amount of steering feel, whereas twisty roads are the undoing of the E5, with the body leaning a lot in corners. Getting into the back reveals another contrast: the Kuga’s rear doors open wide, which makes it easy to get in and load smaller kids into their seats, but accessing the rear of the E5 is not the easiest thanks to the narrow door opening. Inside, you have to contend with an annoyance in both cars. Annoyingly, the Kuga's heater controls are screen-based and fiddly to use on the go, while the lack of physical climate controls in the E5 is similarly annoying, because you have to swipe up on the screen to display the temperature and make adjustments.
