AI generated from our expert reviews

The Jaecoo E5 is more powerful than the Toyota Yaris Cross. Inside, both small SUVs have practical limitations in the back. Trying to carry three passengers across the rear bench will likely bring complaints in the Jaecoo E5, just as having three people at once in the Yaris Cross may lead to rubbed shoulders. Fitting a child seat can also be awkward in either car; getting one in is a bit of a faff because the rear doors on the Yaris Cross do not open very wide, while accessing the rear of the Jaecoo E5 is not the easiest thanks to its narrow door opening. When you head onto winding tarmac, their handling diverges. The Yaris Cross does not lean too much and its steering has a nice feel, but twisty roads are the undoing of the Jaecoo E5, where its body leans a lot in corners.
