The Chery Tiggo 8 is longer than the Renault 4 E-Tech and has a third row of seats, which the Renault lacks. In both cars, you sit high for a good view out of the front. Back-seat space in the Chery is excellent, with lots of headroom, legroom and space for your feet, whereas adults in the back of the Renault will probably start feeling cramped on long journeys. Around bends on a country lane, the Tiggo 8 leans an awful lot, while the Renault 4's body doesn't lean too much. On the motorway, the plug-in hybrid Chery has quite a lot of wind and road noise in the cabin, whereas in the Renault wind and road noise never becomes a problem.
