2021 MG ZS EV: THIS IS THE CHEAPEST ELECTRIC SUV ON THE MARKET

EV Channels Review

The 2021 MG ZS EV is presented as Australia's most affordable electric SUV, aiming to disrupt the market with its competitive pricing. The reviewer, Paul Maric, finds the vehicle to be surprisingly competent for its price point, highlighting its comfortable ride tuned for Australian conditions and its responsive electric drivetrain. He notes the quiet operation typical of EVs and praises the surprisingly spacious interior, enhanced by a large panoramic glass roof. However, significant drawbacks are identified: the infotainment system is described as basic and frustrating, and the manual climate control system is a major point of contention, with the reviewer struggling to find a suitable temperature. Handling is deemed artificial, with a tendency for the single-wheel spin under hard acceleration due to the lack of a limited-slip differential. Despite these criticisms, the MG ZS EV is ultimately recommended as excellent value for money for those seeking an entry-level EV, provided the infotainment and climate control issues are not deal-breakers.
