Toyota Corolla Cross
VS
The Honda ZR‑V brings sharper handling and a more premium-feeling cabin, while the Toyota Corolla Cross trades a bit of sparkle for everyday practicality, fuel-sipping reliability and stronger resale prospects. If you want a compact SUV that’s slightly more fun to drive and feels a touch upmarket, take the ZR‑V; if you need a fuss-free, roomy runabout that’s kinder to the wallet over time, the Corolla Cross is the smarter, safer bet.
MG HS/EHS
MG MGS5 EV
VS
Think of the MG HS (and its EHS plug‑in hybrid) as the sensible, budget‑friendly family SUV — roomy, comfortable and annoyingly practical — while the MG MGS5 EV flips the script with instant electric torque, sharper handling and far more tech for your money. Pick the HS/EHS if you want proven value and easy refuelling; choose the MGS5 EV if you crave silent performance, lower running costs and can live with charging.
