Amazing Pricing
The first thing you notice about the Excite is the price. You're looking at a feature-packed SUV that comes in at well under $35,000. You can't get close to anything like the same amount of equipment and features in market segment competitors.

So what does it come with? Some notable standard equipment inclusions that really set it apart include:
• 10.1-inch infotainment screen with Apple and Android connectivity
• Digital driver display
• 5-Star ANCAP rating
• Ambient lighting
• Paddle shifters
• Rain-sensing wipers
• 18-inch wheels
• Sat-nav
• LED headlights
• Dual-zone climate control
• Electric tailgate

Fluid Styling
SUVs can look a bit cut-and-paste at times, or they can look boxy and boringly utilitarian. The Excite looks well put-together as if the designers intended each part to actually match all the other parts. The proportions are right, the design looks finished: in short, this is an SUV you'll be proud to be seen driving.

An Amazing Cabin
The interior would be ...
... impressive even at a much higher price. Given the actual price, the interior of the Excite is seriously game-changing. It's well-insulated and thoughtfully designed at every point. The sat-nav loads and adjusts at lightning speed. The cabin feels refined and high-tech.

The connections, both Bluetooth and cabled, are flawless. Voice control is smartly responsive and very accurate. You'll also appreciate that the second row of seats actually has room for real human adults. A cargo capacity of 463L is pretty impressive, too.

Easy to Drive
If you're buying an SUV for the family, you want to know how it's going to perform both on city streets and off-road adventures. Shifting is smooth and quick, and the petrol-powered engine feels punchy off the mark. Sport mode delivers a much sharper experience that you'll appreciate when you need some extra power.

We also love that handling is excellent and the ride is smooth and comfortable. Unless you're riding at really excessive speeds, you won't notice the road noise even on poor road surfaces, and the ride is comfortable even on off-road bumps.

Lots of Tech Help
These days we expect a lot of our cars, and MG delivers. The Excite has everything you've come to expect, like lane-change assist, rear-cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, speed assist, headlight control, front collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and more.

The lane-keep assist is very sharp and encourages you to activate your indicators sooner rather than later. The adaptive cruise control performs very well in real-world conditions.

The verdict? The MG Excite is an excellent mid-sized SUV. You're getting a quality build with more tech and comfort than typical for the price. Other manufacturers in the segment would do well to be aware of the Excite: they're going to have to work hard to compete with it.
