Choosing between the Jaecoo 7 and the Volvo EX30 comes down to whether you prioritise traditional cabin space or pure electric style. The Jaecoo 7 offers plenty of equipment and an impressive interior for the money, though its ride can be firm and practicality is mixed depending on your chosen engine. On the other hand, the Volvo EX30 is a very comfortable, sleek and compact electric SUV with fantastic styling and a lovely interior, but its software can grate and real-world range is disappointing.

Worth knowing

Choose it for
- Its super-comfortable ride, stylish looks, and compact proportions that excel at town driving.
Worth knowing
- All cabin controls run through the touchscreen, and you have to rely entirely on glitchy software.
