AI generated from our expert reviews
If you need maximum passenger and carrying capacity, the MG S9 is longer than the Volvo EX30, can tow more, and provides a third row of seats that the Volvo lacks. Those sitting in the back of the MG will enjoy decent legroom all-round, whereas kneeroom in the rear of the EX30 is tight. However, the Volvo pulls ahead when it comes to ride comfort over broken tarmac. You will notice the MG's suspension thudding through the cabin on bad roads, whereas the EX30 is really comfortable over potholes and speed bumps, with no crashing or thudding.
