AI generated from our expert reviews
You sit high up in both the MG ZS and the Nissan Qashqai. Neither car gives you much feedback through the steering, and the ZS is not particularly satisfying to drive quickly. On the motorway, the Qashqai has little road and wind noise, while the ZS has quite a lot of wind and road noise at speed. Inside, the Qashqai provides large front cupholders, whereas the cupholders in the ZS are tiny. The Qashqai can also tow more than the ZS.
