AI generated from our expert reviews

The longer Jaecoo 7 is more powerful, can tow more, and has a bigger boot than the Lexus LBX, with more room when the rear seats are folded down. Inside, the Jaecoo 7 gives you plenty of headroom in the back and a good amount of space for most people’s knees, while rear-seat passengers in the LBX do not get much headroom or legroom. When driving around town, the LBX has suspension that deals with rough roads better than you might expect, whereas the Jaecoo 7’s suspension thuds over potholes and broken surfaces. Once you reach a cruise on the motorway, the LBX is very quiet, but in the Jaecoo 7 road noise builds up noticeably the faster you go.
