I own it from New since 2021 and drove 40000 km so far. I did add UV and infrared screen "tint" on the front windows and windshield because they don't have it built in. I also replaced the headlight bulbs for osram nightbraker Lazer hb3 they are much better then originals. It's a great driver and quite comfortable.

For work I’ve driven a couple of the ‘standard’ range MG 5’s and I was really impressed with them. Glad your enjoying it

Are you my doppleganger 😂

*Probably around 100 Miles after 4 years and in 10 Scrap Heap only !* 😂

@@GrrMeister average age of cars on UK roads is 8.4 years, my own EV is 6 years old with a battery state of health of 92.% and has flown through its MOT with ease and no advisories, it will easily still be on the roads in another 10 years time !

@@davefitzpatrick4841 *_Many cars around still 20 years old or more as owners can't afford a new car, my sons is an 04 plate !_*

Really? Removable back seats sounds great, do you need tools?

I use it but as the primary car. 99% of my driving is within its range. The second car is needed about once a week but it's the ZS that gets to do the longer journey always. It saved me so much money already.

We had one and loved it. it will take longer for that journey for sure and 2 charges with roof box.

Being fully loaded & a roof box if you drive at 70 mph your looking at a min of 3 stops & if it’s cold "winter" 4 stops.

@@pauljames2407 4 stops is a range of 60 miles…

Thanks all. It has a negative impact on our current car which gets worse the faster you go. Which is stating the obvious I know :) . My OH’s car will need to be changed over the next couple of years and I think we’ll be seriously looking at an electric car as we have the ability to charge overnight.

Having a tesla is obviously better and if you can have it that's good. The ZS is a simple car with simple features and no overly gimmicky or luxurious stuff. Driving feels good at low speeds but above 120kph it feels a little less stable then I'd like and you won't get past 150. The MG pilot suite is nice but I just don't have anything to compare it to. People say tesla's system is nicer but they seem to cut it down because they want to sell FSD The sound system is good but not amazing The headlights suck, it doesn't have infrared screen on the windows so if it's hot it will cook you, the rear seats aren't that comfortable. On the other hand, the replacement parts are cheap and has a great aftermarket on aliexpress. I bought some cosmetic upgrades that are nice. At the time I bought it, a tesla wasn't much more expensive, and I do miss the opportunity to buy one, but I got a nice financing deal so I'm not too disappointed. One major gripe is with the steering wheel adjustment only going up and down. Another is complete lack of app connectivity, so no charge scheduling or preconditioning. Still it's a good first ev and will be great value on second hand market provided it doesn't suffer from degradation, which after year and a half and 40000km I am yet to notice.

Stick to the Tesla. Charging speed is excellent,range is very good, stereo brilliant and the whole experience of owning is fab. I was looking at this and mg5 but wife didn’t like so ended up with a Tesla.

Check out the james and kate review of a 50k mile example. A ‘really useful box’, or something similar, sufficed for under hood storage.

You can get one for the facelift version www.evaccessoriesireland.com/product-page/mg-zs-ev-2022-facelift or just get a plastic box for lot less money and probably with a lid.

What a difference 5 months makes, eh? The exclusives are now mostly £19,000-£21,000 for a 2021 model. I assume that's because more of the 2022+ refresh models have reached the UK.

??? Radio and most functions are powered by the 12V battery, just like on any other car. Losing range from using the heating or AC also applies to any car. With a 40kWh battery, you should be able to get 120 miles out of this in winter. Maybe you had a fault?
