AI generated from our expert reviews

The Jaecoo 8 is more powerful than the Audi Q4 e-tron and can tow more, plus it can be had with a third row of seats where the Audi cannot. Out on the motorway, both vehicles pick up a bit of wind noise at speed. Inside, both models make adjusting the climate harder than it should be by placing the controls on their touchscreens, though both also feature handy drop-down shortcut menus to turn off driver assistance systems on the move. While the Jaecoo 8 offers the option of extra seating and greater pulling power, the Audi Q4 e-tron remains strictly a five-seater.
