Choosing between the Chery Tiggo 8 and the Jaecoo 7 comes down to what you want from your family SUV. The Chery Tiggo 8 is a spacious seven-seater with a plush interior and loads of standard kit, though it wallows over bumps and has a tiny boot when all seven seats are in use. On the other side, the Jaecoo 7 brings eye-catching styling, a well-made cabin and plenty of equipment for the money, but its ride is firm over potholes and its practicality is only so-so. Both models offer exceptional value for money and come packed with technology, but they handle rough town roads and bumps with notable discomfort.

Choose it for
- Its spacious seven-seater cabin, which offers plenty of room for tall adults across the front two rows and a plush, minimalist interior trimmed in soft-touch leatherette.
Worth knowing
- It is not very comfortable around town as it wallows and fidgets over bumps, and the boot is tiny when you are using all seven seats.
Choose it for
- Its striking, expensive-looking presence on the road with clean bodywork, a huge grille and an impressively well put-together interior.
Worth knowing
- Comfort is a weak point because the suspension thuds over potholes and broken surfaces around town.
