Compare the Hyundai Santa Fe vs MG S9
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both models are large vehicles for urban driving: the Hyundai Santa Fe is not the best choice for town driving, while the MG S9 is a bit of a behemoth to thread through tight urban roads. Neither hybrid version of the Santa Fe feels especially quick, and the S9 never feels very brisk. When carrying passengers right at the back, both have third rows suited to children, as children will be perfectly happy in the Santa Fe and seats six and seven are best for kids in the S9. The infotainment systems provide a clear contrast. The Santa Fe offers bright, responsive screens with menus that all make sense, whereas the system in the S9 is dreadfully slow to respond to your touch.
