Change versionAI generated from our expert reviews
The Jaecoo 7 and the Omoda 5 both come from the wider family and share a focus on striking looks and generous standard equipment lists, yet both ultimately stumble when it comes to comfort and practicality. While the Jaecoo 7 feels impressively well put-together with plenty of solid yet plush materials around its cabin, its suspension thuds over potholes round town and its boxy shape fails to translate into class-leading boot space. Meanwhile, the Omoda 5 counters with a sporty stance and soft-touch plastics, but it is tight in both rows of seats for taller occupants and features a small boot alongside a wobbly suspension that lumbers over bumps.

'From' prices stated are for the lowest priced version of the car. Price may vary based on the selected version.
Choose it for
- Its smart, well-made interior, attention-grabbing looks, loads of equipment for the money, and generous headroom, legroom and shoulder room in both rows of seats.
Worth knowing
- Comfort is a weak point, with suspension that thuds over potholes and broken surfaces, road noise on the motorway, and jiggly steering.
Choose it for
- Its striking, sporty styling, loads of standard equipment, and a relatively posh interior with a twin screen setup.
Worth knowing
- It is cramped inside with tight space in both rows of seats, and the infotainment system can be a pain to use with tiny climate controls.
