“One of the biggest compliments paid to the MG ZS is that those seeking a smaller SUV should consider it alongside much bigger-selling models from the better-known names in the business, so it’s no surprise that MG has chosen this car with which to step into the electric arena.”

” It’s a bargain EV for those prioritising range and roominess on a budget, but there are compromises to make on quality. It won’t suit everyone, but it’s an appealingly affordable electric SUV.”

“By the standards of electric SUVs, which are saddled with sizeable battery packs, the ZS does weigh relatively little. MG claimed 1534kg at the kerb, which our test car weighed in very close to.” (Matt Saunders)

“It’s the electric SUV for people who just want an electric SUV. Not a posh badge. Not a sub five-second 0-62mph time. And not a two-speed transmission with a shiftable planetary gear set. The MG ZS EV is cheaper than its rivals with better battery tech than most.”

“The MG ZS EV has always been a no-nonsense electric family car, and this latest version only builds on that. The much longer electric range really increases its appeal, as does its much-improved interior.”

“The MG ZS EV is basically a good car to drive. and it’s also practical. Perhaps most importantly, it’s one of the more affordable electric cars, and motorists need as many affordable electric cars as possible. However the infotainment system falls well short of most rivals, and a steering column that’s adjustable for reach would be a useful improvement.” (Paul Clarke)

“There simply isn’t an electric car on the market that represents as impressive value for money as the MG ZS EV. Upgrades in 2021 mean it’s more useable than ever. You still get a generous amount of standard equipment, too, while a seven-year warranty should put your mind at ease.”

“The MG ZS EV represents a lot of car for the money, provided you can live with the limited range and the rather uninspiring driving experience and lumpy ride. For many, these compromises will be worth living with for the extra space and that confidence-inspiring warranty. And if the range is an issue, well there’s a bigger battery version on the way.” (James Disdale)

“Granted, the MG ZS EV is not a car that lives in the very heart of Top Gear’s mental terrain. But it has some compelling aspects. If you’re the person in your social circle who ‘knows about cars’, you’re going to be asked about it. After all, people have heard of MG now. In the UK, MG outsells Renault.” (Paul Horrell)
