I've been driving the new Capri for two weeks now. It looks fantastic, runs smoothly and has plenty of punch. The interior's been modernised throughout and the software is rock‑solid. Range is good, too. I'm really pleasantly surprised.

MG ZS

The MG ZS arrives as a cheeky and practical choice for shoppers who want SUV style and family-friendly space without blowing the budget. It may not pretend to be premium, but with sensible equipment, easy-to-live-with driving manners and surprising value, it makes a persuasive case for anyone after sensible transport with a bit of personality.

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.
