While it isn’t sporty to drive like you might expect from a car wearing an MG badge, the ZS EV is a practical family electric car. Its strong points are a good range and a long warranty, both of which give you peace of mind.

Nicki Says

“It might not be the most exciting or advanced electric car but there's no arguing with the value on offer here. The ZS EV is a family-sized car for the price of a small hatchback. The long warranty is a bonus too.”

Ginny Says

“I'm always going to have a soft spot for a car bearing the MG badge and this is no exception. It's roomy and comes with plenty of safety tech, and the new model has an app at last!”

Is the MG ZS EV a good car?

There’s no doubt the ZS EV offers a lot of practicality, ease-of-use, reasonable performance and range for a very tempting price. We like it a lot, although rivals fee a little more polished in places.

Where is the MG ZS EV made?

When the Chinese firm SAIC bought MG around 15 years ago, a handful of models were built and developed at MG Rover’s old Longbridge factory. Production of all MG models, including the ZS EV, now takes place in China, though. 

What is the range of the MG ZS EV?

The ZS EV Long Range packs a 72kWh battery pack which gives a claimed range of 273 miles. We’ve found a more realistic day-to-day figure is around 240 miles and 200 miles in the winter months.

Can you tow with an ZS EV? 

With this new model, yes you can. But bear in mind the capacity is limited to a weedy 500kg and the tow ball weight is a maximum of 50kg. That means you'll be limited to small trailers and lightweight bike racks.

What rivals the MG ZS EV?

In terms of size and SUV style, the ZS EV’s natural rivals are the Hyundai Kona Electric, the Kia e-Niro and the Kia Soul. The Nissan Leaf overlaps on price too.
