Choosing between the Jaecoo 7 and the Kia Sportage comes down to what you want from a family SUV. Both score well for standard kit and build quality, but they take very different approaches to everyday life. The Jaecoo leans into attention-grabbing looks and a well-made interior, while the Kia focuses on sensible practicality with a spacious cabin and boot. Neither car is particularly comfortable around town, where both can feel a bit jiggly over potholes, but they each offer distinct strengths depending on your priorities.
