The story
This short Carwow clip reports a braking comparison between a Range Rover and a JAECOO. The narration gives shorter stopping distances for the JAECOO in the filmed test. It is the bite-sized braking segment to pair with Carwow’s fuller J7 versus Evoque comparison, not a complete review or an overall vehicle-safety rating.
Our thoughts on the video
The interesting twist is that the less expensive car comes out ahead in this particular stopping test. Our take is to enjoy the surprise without turning it into a universal claim about either brand. The fuller comparison adds the useful wrinkle that Mat still prefers the Evoque’s everyday brake feel. One result tells you how that test went; it cannot settle every safety or ownership question.
What the short actually reports
The narration reports 95 metres from 100 mph and 35 metres from 60 mph for the Range Rover, compared with 93 metres and 32 metres for the JAECOO. These are Carwow’s reported results, not club measurements. The short does not give a full account of tyre condition, load, repeated runs or surface conditions, so the differences should stay attached to this test.
Watch the longer comparison too
Shorts are brilliant at getting to the point, sometimes with most of the context left outside the frame. For a buying decision, pair this clip with the full J7 versus Evoque review and pay attention to pedal feel, refinement and practicality as well. Please leave high-speed testing to an appropriate controlled setting; this is coverage of a creator’s test, not a how-to.

What caught our eye in the comments
Selected public comments reviewed 4 Oct 2026. These are individual views and unverified reports, not a representative owner survey.
The flashing lights get noticed too
One viewer focuses on the flashing hazard lights during braking, rather than the headline distance. It is an interesting detail to look for in the clip, but the comment does not establish the feature specification for every UK version. Ask for a demonstration and the relevant handbook information for your car.
Read the viewer comment on YouTube ↗The sensible question: which tyres?
Several visible comments ask about tyre specifications and vehicle weight. We think those are more useful questions than declaring a whole brand the winner. The clip reports an outcome; a fuller technical comparison would need the test conditions and both cars’ preparation.
