If you need extra seating or tow heavy loads, the Skoda Kodiaq holds a clear practical advantage, as it can be had with a third row of seats and can tow more than the MG HS. Out on the motorway, both SUVs keep wind and road noise well-contained, though neither is much fun to drive down a twisty road. You will also find hard, scratchy plastics lower down inside both cabins. When checking your surroundings, however, the Kodiaq does not have too much of a blind spot over your shoulder, whereas the HS has a big over-the-shoulder blind spot.
