Choosing between the Chery Tiggo 8 and the Jaecoo E5 comes down to whether you need a larger, petrol-powered family cruiser or a dedicated electric SUV. The Tiggo 8 offers seven seats, a spacious cabin, and plenty of standard kit, though it falls short on comfort and boot space when all seats are up. Meanwhile, the Jaecoo E5 provides a practical electric setup with good range and a roomy front row, but it suffers from slow DC charging and uninspiring handling.
