AI generated from our expert reviews

The MG S9 is a longer vehicle than the Hyundai Tucson, offering a third row of seats and the ability to tow heavier loads. Around town, you will find the Tucson easy to drive, whereas threading the S9 through tight urban streets can feel like managing a behemoth. Neither car handles poor surfaces with complete composure: the Hyundai's suspension does not do a great job of absorbing bad roads and bumps, while you will notice the MG's suspension thudding through the cabin. Once you step inside, the Tucson feels plush thanks to top-notch materials throughout, whereas material quality in the S9 is mixed.
