When you are weighing up the Jaecoo 7 and the MG HS, you are looking at two family SUVs that lean heavily into giving you plenty of equipment and a smart-looking interior without breaking the bank. Both cars have a strong visual presence and well-made cabins that punch above their weight, but they also share a similar trait in that neither is particularly exciting or rewarding to drive on a twisty road. The Jaecoo stands out for its striking exterior styling and a cabin that feels impressively put-together, though its ride can be firm over bumps. On the other hand, the MG focuses on exceptional cabin space and a roomy boot that easily swallows family life, but its infotainment system can feel a bit fiddly and sluggish to use compared to the slicker setups found elsewhere.
