2019 MG ZS EV REVIEW & ROAD TEST

EV Channels Review

The MG ZS EV is presented as a practical and stylish electric SUV, particularly suited for families and city driving. The review highlights its punchy performance, with a 143 PS motor and a 44.5 kWh battery offering a claimed range of 163 miles, extending to an impressive 231 miles in city conditions. The vehicle boasts significant safety upgrades compared to previous models, achieving a 4 or 5-star NCAP rating. Key features praised include the intuitive infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a comfortable interior with leatherette accents, and a spacious cabin and boot. The charging infrastructure and options (home, Type 2, CCS rapid) are deemed convenient and well-developed. While the infotainment's built-in sat-nav can be slow, the overall verdict is positive, positioning the ZS EV as a compelling option in the electric SUV market, especially considering its competitive pricing starting under £22,000 for the Excite trim and around £23,500 for the Exclusive trim.
