The MG EHS is a very very attractive & affordable luxurious SUV available in two versions : the comfort & the exlusive. The one I drove was the exclusive which comes with : panoramic roof, ambient rgb light, 360 camera, adaptive cruise control, leather sporty seats, the entire car is covered in leather including the dashboard / steering wheel / center console / door panels ••• Basicly speaking, I didn't expected to be that AMAZED by a car.. it offers you the whole package while paying half as much as you would do with some alternative "luxury brands" of that segment..

WHAT ABOUT THE CAR ?
👍 The interior looks just amazing!! It's clean & slick.. You certainly do not feel in a cheap car.. even though you are in one (brand new speaking) xD Huge amount of space in the second row, panoramic roof, electric sporty leather seats, ambient rgb light, power tailgate, led headlights for a super clean visibility (leveling adjustment), 360 camera, 10in dashboard screen, 12in center display,..
👎 The exterior may not be as characteristic as the interior is.. many people with whom I have been in France thought I had a Volkswagen SUV. And that's not good. No car should look or feel like an other car. At a 130kmh (80mph) on the french highway, the steering wheel was vibrating so I never drove over that speed because it made me feel insecure.. (even though I switched off all the assistance that could possibly have some impact on the electric steering wheel). I don't know if you can see it, but the center mirror is actually killing the visibility.. Whatever is in that box behind the mirror should be somewhere else.. Beside that, alles gut!!

💦 FUEL CONSUMPTION ?
• 6.0l/100km (39 mpg) on a 300 miles voyage on the french highway limited to 130kmh (80mph)
• a daily drive on those countryside roads of 7.5l/100km (31.5mpg)
• On a fully charged battery, you can have an autonomy of about 50km (31mi) if you don't go faster than 49km/h (30mph)
