Compare the Jaecoo 5 vs Lexus LBX
AI generated from our expert reviews
When weighing up these two compact SUVs, luggage capacity sets them apart right away: the Jaecoo 5 has a bigger boot than the Lexus LBX, as well as more room with the back seats folded. In the back, rear passengers will find both cars tight on headroom and legroom. Once you are up to speed, both models are quiet at a cruise, though both also lean in the bends. In town, their manners differ sharply. The petrol Jaecoo 5 frustrates at low speeds because its engine and automatic gearbox do not respond quickly to your pedal inputs, making it difficult to be smooth. In contrast, the 1.5-litre hybrid LBX delivers smooth acceleration with plenty of pep off the line.
