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.

NIO ET7

The NIO ET7 arrives like a calm thunderstorm — sleek, silent and unapologetically clever, turning motorway cruising into the sort of effortless glide that makes other cars feel noisy and rehearsed. Inside, it's all luxury sofas and smart gadgets that actually help rather than confuse, so buyers who crave tech and comfort will feel like they've upgraded their life without needing to spellcheck the manual.
