Choosing between the Jaecoo E5 and the Renault 5 E-Tech comes down to whether you prioritise straightforward family practicality or standout character. The Jaecoo E5 is reasonably priced, reasonably practical and offers reasonable range, bringing plenty of space up front and a good amount of luggage capacity. On the other hand, the Renault 5 E-Tech oozes style with its retro-futuristic design, bringing a charming interior and a fantastic driving experience that feels like a hot hatch through the corners, though it isn't very spacious inside.
