Compare the Jaecoo 8 vs Volvo EX30
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Jaecoo 8 is longer than the Volvo EX30, and it can have a third row of seats while the Volvo EX30 cannot. Both cars are comfortable on the motorway. Around town, light steering makes tight turns and parking easy in the Jaecoo 8, and means it takes little effort to work through rush hour traffic in the Volvo EX30. On twisty roads, the Jaecoo 8’s body leans a bit more, while the Volvo EX30’s body leans quite a bit if you try to drive it like a sports car. Inside, you have to do almost everything through the Jaecoo 8’s central touchscreen, which has small, awkward-to-press onscreen buttons. In the Volvo EX30, having to control everything through the display is a bit annoying and not intuitive when you want to quickly change things.
