Compare the MG S9 vs Volvo XC60
AI generated from our expert reviews
The MG S9 is longer than the Volvo XC60 and includes a third row of seats, which the XC60 goes without, though the Volvo can tow more. Inside, the Volvo features top-notch material quality, whereas material quality in the MG is mixed. Operating the screens reveals another distinction: the XC60 has a snappy infotainment system, but the S9 is dreadfully slow to respond to your touch. Out on the road, both cars have suspension that settles down and smooths out at motorway speeds. When you want to pick up pace, the MG never feels very brisk, while the plug-in hybrid XC60 is very quick to accelerate, even if there is a little lag when you press the accelerator.
