Our current favourite budget SUV is very temptingly priced.

There's no need to rub your eyes, you're not hallucinating. This really is an SUV wearing the famous MG badge. Long gone are the days of MG building sleek sports cars; the now Chinese-owned brand is intent on conquering the big-selling classes. This revolution began with the 6 family hatch in 2010, followed swiftly by the Fiesta-rivalling 3. And now, with the MG GS, it's entering arguably the most fashionable class of them all: small SUVs.

Suzuki has far more experience in building this sort of car. It launched its original Vitara when Whitney Houston was first in the charts, and the latest model, introduced last year, is one of our favourite small SUVs.

Both cars have fairly small petrol engines and front-wheel drive, and we've chosen trims that give you plenty of kit for a very reasonable asking price. So, has MG hit a home run on its first attempt, or will Suzuki's experience prove more valuable as the two go head-to-head?
