AI generated from our expert reviews
The Jaecoo E5 is more powerful than the MG ZS, and both give you good visibility out of the front. Neither cabin is ideal if you try to sit three across the rear bench, though two adults can get very comfy in the back of the ZS. When fitting a bulky child seat, the MG ZS has doors that open wide enough to make fitting even a rear-facing seat easy, whereas accessing the rear of the Jaecoo E5 is not the easiest due to its narrow door opening, despite having enough space inside. Connecting your smartphone is also handled differently, as the E5 includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, while the ZS is wired-only.
