Compare the Cupra Formentor vs MG S9
AI generated from our expert reviews
In practical terms, the MG S9 is longer, can tow more, and has a third row of seats that the Cupra Formentor lacks. From behind the wheel, the driving position is markedly different. You hike up into the S9's high-set driver's seat, whereas you step down into the Formentor, which feels more like a hatchback than an SUV to sit in. Both cars offer plenty of adjustment in the front seats and steering wheel. Out on the road, all versions of the Formentor are comfortable enough on a bumpy road, but in the S9 you will notice the suspension thudding through the cabin on bad roads.
