Welcome aboard the MG MGS9 with 7 seats

With the new MG MGS9, MG Motor makes a significant impact in the family SUV market.

Behind the wheel of this impressive plug-in hybrid family vehicle, it’s hard not to recognize that the Sino-British brand once again justifies its status as a formidable player in terms of price/performance ratio.

At 4.98 m long, the MGS9 fully embraces its status as a large 7-seater SUV. Its modern style, standard 20-inch rims, and intricate lighting signatures give it a commendable appearance that is far from low cost. Inside, the presentation is serious, with an almost upscale atmosphere thanks to the padded materials, panoramic roof, and very generous equipment right from the Comfort trim.

When true luxury is space

But the real strong point of the MGS9 lies in its spaciousness. The seven seats come as standard, with a sliding second row and a third row that is more welcoming than some European competitors. The trunk also remains very acceptable, even in the 7-seater configuration.

Under the hood, MG offers a single plug-in hybrid engine producing a combined 299 hp. This setup combines a 1.5 turbo gasoline engine with a powerful electric motor powered by a 23.2 kWh battery. In practice, the SUV often operates in electric mode at low speeds and can travel over 80 km without consuming a drop of expensive gas in real conditions. Ideal for daily commutes or trips from the countryside to the beach! Highway consumption should remain contained below 8 l/100 km, which is a coherent result for an SUV over two tons.

The MGS9 clearly prioritizes comfort over sportiness. With its light steering and plush seats, long journeys should be made without fatigue.

The question that remains is about the price. And this is precisely where MG hits the competition hard: starting from €35,990 after discounts, the MGS9 becomes nearly unbeatable against the Peugeot 5008 and Renault Espace plug-in hybrids. Spacious, well-equipped, and financially aggressive, this large family SUV could well become one of the best automotive deals of 2026.
