AI overview

Both the Chery Tiggo 7 and the Jaecoo E5 offer impressive amounts of equipment and family-friendly space without asking for a fortune in return. The Chery Tiggo 7 leans into a conventional setup with plenty of room, a well-built cabin and dual 12.3-inch displays, though its driving experience is let down by soft suspension that wallows in corners. The Jaecoo E5 goes down the fully electric route, bringing responsive infotainment and a practical interior, but its slow DC charging speed makes it less ideal for frequent long-distance journeys.

Choose it for

  • Its generous list of standard equipment, roomy interior with a flat floor and high roofline, and dual 12.3-inch displays.

Worth knowing

  • The soft suspension wallows over bumps and leans in the bends, making it not much fun on a twisting road.

Choose it for

  • Its responsive portrait-orientated infotainment screen, good electric driving range, and plenty of storage up front.

Worth knowing

  • The DC charging speed is pretty poor by modern standards, which makes it less suited for long road trips.
