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.

Mitsubishi Grandis

The Mitsubishi Grandis is a no-nonsense MPV that hides a surprisingly sleek profile, making family duty look almost stylish. It’s spacious, easy to drive, and built to shrug off daily chaos, though the cabin feels dated and it prefers a relaxed cruise to any hot-hatch antics.
