Both the Jaecoo 8 and the Chery Tiggo 9 are closely related large plug-in hybrid SUVs that undercut established European and Korean alternatives on price while coming heavily loaded with kit. The Jaecoo 8 stands out as the poshest model in its brand line-up, featuring a classy interior and a comfortable ride, though it suffers from a tight third row and a lack of physical buttons. Meanwhile, the Chery Tiggo 9 offers a sensible, upright look, an impressive electric range and a massive list of standard equipment, but its soft suspension makes it feel unwieldy to drive and its cabin plastics can feel a little cheap.
