AI generated from our expert reviews

The Chery Tiggo 7 gives you a bigger boot than the MG ZS, though both cars have space to make fitting even a bulky rear-facing child seat easy. On a twisty road, both have light steering; the Tiggo 7 leaves you with no real concept of which way the front wheels are pointing, while the ZS provides little feedback and is not particularly satisfying to drive quickly. Out on the motorway, the Tiggo 7's suspension copes well with rumbles and expansion joints, though it can feel a bit floaty, whereas the ZS's suspension still feels firm and you can definitely notice expansion joints. Under the bonnet, the entry-level petrol engine is thirsty and noisy in both models.
