Compare the Jaecoo 8 vs MG S9
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Jaecoo 8 is more powerful than the MG S9, but the MG can tow more. In both cars, when the petrol engine cuts in, it is not too obtrusive in the Jaecoo 8, and you will barely notice it in the MG S9. They differ noticeably in the third row. Access to the rearmost seats in the Jaecoo 8 is pretty difficult, especially in Executive specification where the seats do not move out of the way. Once back there, adults do not have enough head- or legroom to sit for any length of time, and even young children will be quite cramped. By contrast, getting into the third row of the MG S9 is fairly easy. While seats six and seven are best for kids because there is not much headroom, they are not too bad for adults on short journeys.
