AI generated from our expert reviews

The MG S9 is longer and more powerful than the Jaecoo 7, can tow more, and includes a third row of seats that the Jaecoo lacks. In town, the Jaecoo 7 is well sized for city driving, whereas the MG S9 is a bit of a behemoth to thread through tight urban roads. Over bad roads, both cars have suspension that thuds through the cabin. Inside, the Jaecoo 7 has a touchscreen with clear graphics that feels responsive to the touch, though it is still fiddly to change settings on the fly. In contrast, the MG S9 has dated graphics and is dreadfully slow to respond to your touch.
