Compare the BYD Atto 2 vs Jaecoo E5
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the BYD Atto 2 and the Jaecoo E5 feature responsive infotainment, and both suffer from body lean on twisty roads. When you head onto the motorway, their manners diverge. The Jaecoo E5 is competent enough at higher speeds, where its suspension settles down a bit to make it a comfortable and relatively quiet place to spend time. The BYD Atto 2, however, never really feels settled at a high-speed cruise, rocking from side to side a bit and requiring more steering input than you would like to keep centred in your lane. Rear passenger space provides another contrast. While the Atto 2 offers enough room for three adults to sit side-by-side with little complaints, you should not have too many complaints from those in the back of the E5 so long as you do not try to squeeze three in.
