Change versionAI overview
When you are looking for a small electric SUV, both the Jaecoo E5 and the Volvo EX30 bring plenty of charm to your driveway, though they approach city-sized family motoring in very different ways. The Jaecoo E5 leans heavily on sensible packaging, giving you loads of space up front, a large boot and good range, even if it is rather bland to look at and slow to charge on a DC connection. On the other hand, the Volvo EX30 stands out with its head-turning looks and wonderfully comfortable ride, yet you will have to contend with a small cabin, a tiny boot and the frustration of running all your controls through the central touchscreen.
