MG ZS EV AFFORDABLE SMALL ELECTRIC CROSSOVER SUV 2019 - A QUIRKY REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The MG ZS EV, a Chinese-manufactured electric crossover, is presented as an affordable entry into the EV market for 2019. The reviewer highlights its competitive pricing, especially with initial grants, making it attractive at under £25,000 with a 160-mile WLTP range. Positives include a spacious and comfortable interior, a large boot (445 liters), and a smooth, solid driving experience with good visibility and competent powertrain. However, the review points out several 'quirks,' particularly with the driver interface and charging port accessibility, which can be unintuitive. While the energy efficiency figures displayed seem bafflingly optimistic, real-world testing suggests a predicted range that closely matches actual mileage over 59 miles. Despite its eccentricities, the ZS EV is lauded as a competent and well-built first-generation electric car, offering significant value and practicality for families.
