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.

Fiat Ulysse

The Fiat Ulysse is a versatile minivan that caters to family needs with its spacious interior and practical design. Known for its comfortable seating and flexibility, it provides a strong option for those seeking a reliable and accommodating vehicle for everyday journeys. With its emphasis on functionality and comfort, the Ulysse remains an attractive choice for larger households or those who regularly travel with groups.
