Compare the Jaecoo 8 vs Volkswagen Tiguan
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you need extra seating, the Jaecoo 8 offers the option of a third row that the Volkswagen Tiguan cannot match, and it is also the longer and more powerful car of the two. Around town, both SUVs provide good forward visibility and a high, commanding driving position, while their suspensions cope well with big speed bumps. Once you move into the back, the Volkswagen is more accommodating, allowing two six-footers to easily sit behind tall front occupants with plenty of headroom and knee room. By contrast, an adult of that height will not have loads of room to stretch out behind a similar-sized driver in the Jaecoo. Head onto a twisty road, and you will find that both cars suffer from light steering that offers little feedback or communication about what the front wheels are doing.
