AI generated from our expert reviews
The MG S9 is longer than the MG HS, can tow more, and has a third row of seats that the HS lacks. In town, the HS is reasonably comfortable, while the S9 is comfortable enough. Their setups contrast out on the road, where the HS has pretty soft suspension and the S9 has stiff suspension. Inside, both models feature door cards that feel cheap. Rearward vision is also compromised in both, as the HS has a big blind spot over your shoulder, while over-the-shoulder visibility could be better in the S9.
