@Elliot – I haven’t driven the electric MG, but I had a petrol one for several days a few years ago and thought it was very poor. Refinement and tech were woefully behind most other modern cars (plus, from memory, a terrible auto) and it felt as cheap as chips. In fact the only car that I’ve driven in recent years that was worse was the previous generation Vauxhall Mokka. That was truly dreadful. As for the dashboard going black, that happened to me several times on a brand new Mercedes GLB that I had for a week or so recently. That’s why I’m not a great fan of digital dashboards.
We looked at the previous generation Qashqai but dismissed it as the boot was too small and rear legroom was poor. From memory, it also felt a bit low rent on the inside. Perhaps all these issues have been addressed with the new model? It certainly ticks the box looks wise.
