The MG4 seems more versatile to me than the Dolphin, which relies mainly on design. The MG4 has proven itself and remains an excellent used option with low mileage.

I tried it today and found the car genuinely pleasant and comfortable to drive.

Hongqi E-HS9

The Hongqi E-HS9 arrives like a modern state limousine rewired into an electric SUV, all imposing chrome, tall presence and an interior that aims to cocoon occupants in luxury. It's serenely quiet and packed with tech, offering a compelling, slightly quirky alternative to established European luxury SUVs for buyers who want drama as much as comfort.
