MG ZS EV: THE CHEAPEST ELECTRIC SUV OF THEM ALL!

EV Channels Review

The MG ZS EV, updated with a facelift, is presented as the most affordable electric SUV on the market. The reviewer highlights significant improvements, particularly the increased battery size (72kWh) offering a substantial range of approximately 260 miles, a major upgrade from the previous model. Inside, the cabin is described as surprisingly pleasant with new materials and a 10-inch touchscreen, though some switchgear and the infotainment system's lag are noted as drawbacks. On the road, the ZS EV offers a comfortable ride thanks to its soft suspension and is surprisingly punchy, especially in Sport mode. However, the reviewer cautions that the soft suspension can lead to unsettled handling when driven quickly. Key complaints include a mushy brake pedal, insufficient regen for true one-pedal driving, and a high seating position. Despite these minor issues, the ZS EV is lauded as a remarkable bargain, offering significant range and practicality for its sub-£30,000 price point (after grants), making it a compelling option for budget-conscious EV buyers.
