9/10
AI generated from our expert reviews
The MG S9 is longer and more powerful than the Lexus LBX, can tow more, and gives you a third row of seats. Due to its size, the S9 can be daunting to thread around town, whereas the LBX has small dimensions that make it easy to thread through narrow streets and squeeze into tight parking spaces. In both cars, you will find settings buried within menus on the screen. Even so, the LBX has a display that looks crisp and reacts quickly, while the touchscreen in the S9 is dreadfully slow to respond to your touch.
