AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the OMODA 7 and the Volkswagen Tiguan feature light steering that helps you quickly pull off tight manoeuvres in town. Fitting child seats is also made easier in either SUV thanks to their wide-opening rear doors. Head out onto a twisty road, however, and the OMODA 7 proves capable and borderline fun to drive, whereas the Tiguan feels a bit synthetic and not hugely fun. Loading up brings another notable difference: the OMODA 7 has a high loading lip that makes loading heavy, bulky items a pain, while the Tiguan has no load lip between the boot opening and floor, saving you from having to hoick items inside. If you need to tow, the Tiguan can also haul more than the OMODA 7.
