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.

Vauxhall Grandland

The Opel Grandland feels like a sensible, well-rounded SUV — neat styling, a spacious cabin and a composed ride that turns daily driving into a quietly pleasant experience. It’s a smart choice for buyers who want modern tech, good economy and a dash of German practicality without shouting for attention.

I chose the Grandland even though I initially planned to go for the Enyaq. The driving range, interior and equipment won me over.
