Compare the Toyota Yaris Cross vs MG ZS
AI generated from our expert reviews
If practicality is top of your list, the MG ZS is longer than the Toyota Yaris Cross, providing a larger boot and more luggage space when the rear seats are folded down. Installing a child seat in the back of the ZS is easy because the doors open wide, whereas doing so in the Yaris Cross is a bit of a faff because the rear doors do not open very wide. Once inside, two adults can get comfortable in the back of either car. At motorway speeds, wind and road noise is fairly unintrusive in the Yaris Cross, but the ZS generates quite a lot of wind and road noise. On twisty roads, the Toyota is surprisingly fun to drive, while the MG gives you no pleasure in taking corners fast.
