7/10
AI generated from our expert reviews
You get solid forward visibility in the MG S9 and good forward visibility in the Ford Kuga, while both cars keep wind and road noise well insulated and quiet on the motorway. In the back, both allow you to slide and recline the rear seats. The S9 is longer and more powerful than the Kuga, and it includes a third row of seats that the Ford does not have. Around town, the MG is comfortable enough, but the Ford is not all that comfortable.
