Compare the MG HS vs Renault 4 E-Tech
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you need space, the longer MG HS holds clear practical advantages over the Renault 4 E-Tech, offering a bigger boot, more room with the rear seats folded, and the ability to tow more. Four six-foot adults can get comfortable in the HS without any difficulty at all, whereas adults in the back of the Renault 4 will probably start feeling cramped on long journeys. The MG is also more powerful, though neither car is particularly fun on a twisty road. Both keep wind and road noise well contained on the motorway. Where the Renault 4 pulls ahead is its infotainment system, which responds quickly to your touch and is easy to use, avoiding the fiddly menus of the HS that do not feel well optimised for a touchscreen.
