AI generated from our expert reviews

If practical space is your priority, the MG HS holds a clear edge over the Toyota C-HR+, offering a larger boot and the ability to tow more. It is not as composed on twisty roads, however, where the HS leans quite a bit in bends, whereas the C-HR+ benefits from a lack of body lean. Inside, both cars have their frustrations with infotainment, each saddling you with menus that are fiddly or annoying to scroll through on the move. You will also find that both models suffer from poor over-the-shoulder visibility caused by thick rear pillars. If you want a more upright stance through corners, the Toyota holds the advantage, but the MG counters with greater luggage room and pulling power.
