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.

KGM Torres

The Torres presents a modern, practical take on the SUV, with tidy styling and a focus on day-to-day usability. Its cabin is comfortable and thoughtfully arranged, prioritizing convenience and a composed driving experience.
