Both the Kia Sportage and the MG HS offer families plenty of space, generous standard kit and a sensible approach to everyday life. The Sportage leans on its striking exterior design, reassuring warranty and solid build quality to stand out, though its cabin is a bit bland and the ride can feel jiggly over town bumps. The MG HS counters with an interior that makes a strong first impression and plenty of room for adults, though its infotainment system relies too heavily on the touchscreen and the petrol engine feels a bit thirsty. Ultimately, you are choosing between the well-rounded durability of the Kia and the smart cabin presentation of the MG.
