the Jogger is spacious and the lack of unnecessary frills and over complex electronics negates frustration and niggles. Practically, it's versatility is great, and the price is unbelievable value.

The RAV4's boot is tiny. Pick the Jogger without hesitation — and pay €250 less per month.

With all the features it offers at that price, the MG has no competition. A BMW X1 of similar dimensions with a few extra upgrades costs more than twice as much, and considering that 40% of MG’s spare parts come from Germany (Bosch, Continental, etc.), I’d go for the MG ZS Hybrid without a second thought.
