Carwow’s own expert rating out of 10 - how our reviewers rate this car overall for value, comfort, kit and driving experience
10/10
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you are choosing between the MG S9 and the Chery Tiggo 8, both give you versatile seven-seat passenger space. The MG is longer and more powerful than the Chery. Inside both cars, the middle row can slide forwards and backwards as well as recline, while the rearmost seats lack under-thigh support and are best left for children on longer trips. Where they diverge noticeably is on technology. The touchscreen in the Chery Tiggo 8 responds really quickly to your inputs, whereas the system in the MG S9 feels dated and is dreadfully slow to react to your touch.
