Compare the MG S9 vs Volkswagen Tiguan
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you need extra passenger capacity, the longer and more powerful MG S9 provides a third row of seats that the Volkswagen Tiguan does not have. Around town, however, the MG can feel like a bit of a behemoth to thread through tight urban roads, whereas the Tiguan is not so big that it is intimidating to drive. You will also find that the Volkswagen cossets you on bad roads, while in the MG you will notice the suspension thudding through the cabin over rougher surfaces. Whichever you choose, both cars offer plenty of adjustment in the front seats and steering wheel, and both come with rear seats that slide and recline.
