AI generated from our expert reviews

The MG HS is longer than the BYD Atto 2, and it provides a bigger boot as well as more room with the back seats folded. In the back, passengers in both cars get a flat floor with no hump in the way, though on twisting roads both models lean quite a bit in the bends. At motorway speeds, wind noise is quite well-contained in the MG HS, while the BYD Atto 2 suffers from noticeable wind noise from its side mirrors. The adaptive cruise control in the MG HS works well, whereas the system in the BYD Atto 2 is not very pleasant, bouncing you from white line to white line. The BYD Atto 2 counters with an infotainment screen that is very slick and responsive to your touch, whereas the touchscreen in the MG HS is not the most responsive.
