Choosing between the MG HS and the Nissan Qashqai comes down to whether you prefer straightforward everyday controls or maximum interior space. Both are practical family SUVs with plenty of standard kit, yet neither will reward you with sporty handling on a country road. The MG HS stands out for its roomy boot and back seat alongside a smart cabin, though its infotainment system can be fiddly to use. Meanwhile, the Nissan Qashqai keeps things simple with plenty of physical buttons and an intuitive setup, but its boot is slightly smaller than what you get in the MG.
