AI generated from our expert reviews

The MG S9 and the Chery Tiggo 9 are both large seven-seat plug-in hybrid SUVs that undercut many traditional alternatives on price while packing generous equipment lists. The MG S9 looks more expensive than it is with plenty of road presence, but its infotainment system is irritating and the suspension can thud through the cabin. Meanwhile, the Chery Tiggo 9 offers a fantastic hybrid powertrain with a remarkably long electric range and heated and ventilated seats across the first two rows, though it feels a little unwieldy to drive through town.
