The MG EHS is a surprisingly attractive and affordable luxury SUV, offered in two trims: Comfort and Exclusive. I drove the Exclusive model, which includes: panoramic roof, ambient RGB lighting, 360° camera, adaptive cruise control, sporty leather seats, and full leather finish on the dashboard, steering wheel, center console, and door panels.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to be this amazed by a car in this price range. The MG EHS delivers a complete premium package at nearly half the cost of competing “luxury brands.”
