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.

Maxus Euniq 5

The Maxus Euniq 5 is a no-nonsense electric people carrier that pairs a cavernous interior with an unexpectedly polished cabin, so family duty feels a little less like a chore. It won’t set your pulse racing, but for buyers after fuss-free electric propulsion, flexible seating and clever everyday practicality, it’s a genuinely sensible and likeable choice.
