Compare the Hyundai Santa Fe vs Jaecoo 8
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Jaecoo 8 provide big, comfortable front seats, but they differ noticeably when it comes to passenger space and driving manners. In the third row, an adult can sit fairly comfortably in the Santa Fe if you slide the middle row forward, whereas the Jaecoo 8 does not have enough head or legroom for adults and leaves even children quite cramped. On the move, the Jaecoo 8 has more power on tap than the Santa Fe. Even so, the Hyundai is more composed on winding roads, where its body does not lean too much and its steering is accurate; by contrast, the Jaecoo 8 leans a bit more and has steering that is too light to communicate what the front wheels are doing. The Santa Fe also isolates you better on the motorway, keeping wind noise really well contained, while the Jaecoo 8 lets in a bit of wind noise at speed.
