AI overview
The Hyundai Tucson and the Jaecoo E5 both tackle family transport with generous practicality and plenty of storage, though they take very different paths under the bonnet. While the Tucson pairs a petrol engine with striking styling and a high-class interior, the pure-electric Jaecoo E5 offers responsive infotainment and good battery range alongside plain styling inside and out. Neither car is designed to thrill you on a twisty road, but both aim to slot neatly into everyday family life with minimum fuss.

Choose it for
- Loads of space and storage up front, alongside a responsive infotainment system and pet-friendly upholstery and accessories.
Worth knowing
- The slow DC charging speed makes it a poor choice if you regularly undertake long road trips.
