NEW MG ZS EV 2022 450M ROAD TRIP PART 1

EV Channels Review

The MG ZS EV Long Range, in its Trophy Connect trim, proves to be a significant upgrade for 2022, particularly for those undertaking longer journeys. The reviewer highlights a substantial improvement in range, now closer to 270 miles (and up to 370 in city driving), a stark contrast to the previous generation's 163 miles. The vehicle's handling is praised for feeling planted and composed, thanks to the low center of gravity from the battery placement, though some body roll is present, contributing to a comfortable ride. Key improvements include a much faster and more responsive infotainment system with features like Amazon Music and seamless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration. The MG Pilot driver assistance suite, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, is noted for its effectiveness and non-intrusive operation. While the price has increased, the reviewer feels the added range, technology, and refinement justify the cost, making it a more compelling option for motorway driving compared to its predecessor. A minor drawback mentioned is the lack of reach adjustment for the steering wheel, though this is mitigated by the electric seat adjustment.
