AI generated from our expert reviews

The MG S9 is longer than the Skoda Elroq, can tow more, and includes a third row of seats that the Elroq does not have. Up front, both cars provide plenty of adjustment for the steering wheel and front seats. Interacting with their onboard technology is rather different, however: the Elroq’s infotainment screen is clear and easy to use, whereas the S9’s infotainment is irritating to use. When driving along country lanes, both manage with little or no drama, with the S9 taking them in its stride and the Elroq getting you through on a steady cruise.
