Deciding between a Skoda Kushaq and MG Hector

I am confused between the Skoda Kushaq Style MT and MG Hector CVT top model. Which one should I buy?

Both these SUVs serve different needs, so it depends on what you are looking for. If you want an SUV that’s good to drive, and one that’s compact and easy to manoeuvre, then the Kushaq 1.5 MT will suit you best. The strong TSI engine and rock-solid suspension make it the best SUV to drive for the money. The MG Hector is substantially bigger and is the one to go for if you want more space, a large boot and features like a panoramic sunroof. The 1.5 petrol CVT is nice and smooth, but it’s not as enjoyable to drive as the Kushaq’s, nor is it as manoeuvrable in town.
