The Jaecoo 7 and the Volvo EX30 both offer stylish looks and strong equipment lists, but they take very different approaches to family transport. The Jaecoo pairs an impressive interior with lots of standard kit, though its ride can be firm over bumps and its practicality is only so-so. Meanwhile, the Volvo brings a deeply charming design and exceptionally comfortable driving manners, but its cabin is tight on space and you will need to rely on the touchscreen for most controls.
