AI generated from our expert reviews

The Chery Tiggo 8 is longer, provides more power, and gives you a third row of seats that you do not get in the Jaecoo 5. Inside both cars, the driver's seat does not go especially low, and each features an infotainment setup that responds quickly to your inputs. When you tackle bends on country roads, you will find both lean a lot. Once you join the motorway, however, the Jaecoo 5 settles down nicely, whereas the Chery Tiggo 8 does not settle down and is noisy.
