Choosing between these two models comes down to what you prioritise behind the wheel. The MG MG4 EV XPOWER is more powerful, though both cars suffer from vague steering when tackling twisty roads. Inside, the Jaecoo 5 treats you to an infotainment screen that responds quickly to your inputs, whereas the MG4 EV XPOWER's display is not the most responsive and can prove quite glitchy. When packing luggage away, the Jaecoo 5 also provides the advantage of a bigger boot.
