MG MG QS vs LDV D90

What's the difference?

Meet the MG QS, the latest SUV from the Chinese giant, and one that the brand promises is a “true” seven-seater – not a five-seater with two dinky little seats in the boot, but a full-size SUV that can carry seven adult-sized humans. 

And that promise puts it on a collision course with family favourites like the Toyota Kluger or the Kia Sorento.

So, how does this big MG measure up?

It’s pretty hard to miss the LDV D90.

Mainly because it is gigantic; it's one of the biggest SUVs you can buy. In fact, I’d say what’s drawn you to this review is maybe you’ve seen one of these behemoths trucking past, and you’re wondering what the LDV badge is all about and how this relatively unknown SUV stands up against popular rivals and other notable newcomers.

To get one confusing thing out of the way, LDV once stood for Leyland DAF Vans, a now-defunct British company which has been brought back to life by none other than China’s SAIC Motor – yes, the same one which also resurrected MG.
