AI generated from our expert reviews

Up front, both the Jaecoo 5 and the Skoda Elroq provide plenty of adjustment in the steering wheel, though you will find cheaper materials lower down in the cabin of both cars. On winding roads, the body of the Jaecoo 5 leans too much, whereas the Elroq has remarkably little in the way of body lean. The Elroq is also more powerful than the Jaecoo 5, and it gives you more space with the back seats folded down.
