AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Dacia Bigster and the Jaecoo E5 give you good visibility, and both have space inside for a bulky child seat. When getting into the back, the Bigster has nice wide-opening doors, whereas accessing the rear of the Jaecoo E5 is not the easiest thanks to its narrow door opening. For a middle passenger, the Bigster's centre occupant does not sit notably higher because the seat base is quite flat, while in the Jaecoo E5 the person in the middle gets a hard, raised seat that is not going to be particularly comfortable for longer journeys. On the road, the Jaecoo E5 is more powerful than the Bigster.
