Compare the Hyundai Kona vs Jaecoo E5
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Hyundai Kona and the Jaecoo E5 feature responsive touchscreens with intuitive menus, and neither car ever feels quite settled over rough road surfaces. Inside, the Kona has physical buttons that make it quick and easy to tweak the temperature on the move, whereas the E5 lacks physical climate controls, requiring you to swipe up on the screen to make adjustments. Rear access is a breeze in the Kona thanks to doors that open to around ninety degrees, while accessing the rear of the E5 is not the easiest due to its narrow door opening. On twisty roads, the Kona does not feel like it is about to fall over, but once you start to pick up the pace, the E5 leans too much and suffers from vague steering that makes it tricky to place accurately in your lane.
