Pros Upmarket vibe (when optioned) Engaging road manners Trademark ‘simply clever’ touches
Cons Pricey options package net basic features Small third row Dual-clutch driveability compromises
Pros Good value for money Loads of space inside Smart-looking interior
Cons Over-the-shoulder blindspots Tiguan has more tech A little bumpy at low speeds
The MG ZS lobbed locally late last year to stake a claim on the highly competitive small SUV segment. But has the second SUV from the now Chinese-owned brand done enough to shift public perception?
Pros Excellent road manners Spritely three-pot turbo engine Industry-leading seven-year warranty Loaded with standard features Sharp pricing
Cons Four-star ANCAP rating a blot No digital speedo Noisy air-con compressor
The MG ZS has its strengths, including its relatively classy interior, decent handling and roomy rear seats. However, a Duster Dacia is cheaper to buy, more comfortable and has a bigger boot.
Pros Rear seat space Cheaper than most rivals Seven-year warranty
Cons Poor safety rating Uneconomical engines So-so performance
