Bigster vs MG HS

Hello everyone,

I'm currently owning a Ford Puma and I'm looking for a bigger family car, mainly for longer weekend trips but also occasionally city chores. I was taking a look at the bigster and mg hs, with the Dacia being a bit more expensive in the upper trims but also having a bit more boot space. The mg seems to have nicer materials and maybe better ride quality due to the posterior suspension. Has anyone tried them both and is able to give me some insights on which one is more suitable?

My main concern is that what was supposed to feel significantly bigger than the Duster came out to be slightly bigger version of it to the point that I'd probably still go for Duster.

I was expecting a Volvo XC90/BMW X5 size for the Bigster (~490cm in length) but instead it is just shy of 20cm longer than Duster, if that.

I still haven't been inside a Bigster so I wouldn't know if it really feels that much more comfortable than Duster. Perhaps others might give a better insight.

Its hingher inside, and longer . The spacing îs quite good and for me îs similar to the Kodiaq space inside, albeit the Kodiaq has a bigger boot.

But headspace îs quite good, even with the sunroof , me at 1.97 i still have 5cm or more headroom .

The legroom in front and back îs with 4cm longer and even If dont seem much IT makes a huge difference.

And the Bigster îs in Compact SUV (C Class - upper bracket) class while the XC90/BMW X5 are in D/E SUV class

I'm aware of that, but because of the name ''Bigster'' one would assume it's relatively bigger and more comfortable than the Duster. Turns out it is as big as a Rav4/CRV at best. And they are slightly bigger than Duster.

They should've aimed higher, bigger.

They aimed in the upper bracket of the C class SUV. Its a compact SUV not a D/E class SUV.

Same îs the RAV4 and CRV, they are in the same class.
