AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between the Jaecoo 7 and the Nissan Qashqai means weighing two very different takes on the family SUV. The Jaecoo stands out with its attention-grabbing looks and a well-made interior loaded with standard kit, though it falls short on ride comfort and practicality. On the other hand, the Qashqai plays to its strengths as a very sensible, comfortable all-rounder with physical buttons that make everyday controls refreshingly easy to use, even if it is not particularly fun to drive.

Choose it for

  • Its smart, well-made interior, striking exterior styling and generous equipment levels that make it feel like a more expensive car.

Worth knowing

  • Comfort is a weak point as the suspension thuds over potholes and broken surfaces around town.

Choose it for

  • Its sensible cabin featuring physical buttons that are far more intuitive to use on the move than touchscreens.

Worth knowing

  • Tall occupants will find that the boot space is smaller than what you get in key alternatives.
