AI generated from our expert reviews

If you need to carry extra passengers, the Jaecoo 8 can have a third row of seats, whereas the Volvo XC60 cannot. For pulling heavy loads, the XC60 can tow more. Passenger room in the back also differs: the Volvo provides a mass of space for passengers, while middle-row space in the Jaecoo is merely okay and not as sparkling as you might hope for such a large car. Around town, both cars are easy to guide into tight parking spaces thanks to their light steering. Up front, the XC60 features an infotainment system that is as simple to use as a smartphone, whereas the Jaecoo requires you to do almost everything through a central screen that has too many small, awkward-to-press buttons.
