The most chilled and genuine car review I've ever seen. Fair play 😎

Great overall review. After 7,000 klms and 8 months ownership we think it is great value. We've achieved 70 kW DC charging so your battery condition or software might not have been optimal in your test. The ZS EV doesn't have charge scheduling, one feature which would be handy but not a show stopper. We also done some reviews on our channel you might like.

It’s always a good laugh when reviewers show how the charging cable can be put under the boot space yet no one shows how practical that is when you have loaded the car up to go on holiday or shopping.

Have to say a fine machine, definitely worth a look

I'm a ZS EV owner in the UK, theres no charging timers on the car unfortunatly, and occasionally the screen might freeze (though mine has only done it once in over a year of ownership) you can reset the screen by holding the home button until it restarts. The infotainment system is probably the worst part of the car, I just use Android auto instead. Charging is faster from a low state of charge, and it will actually charge up to a speed of 76kw in the right conditions. Never had an issue with the lane keep, maybe theres something wrong with the camera on the test car? Overall a fair review.

Made me feel old.....still good review 👍

The new 2022 facelift version is being advertised now €37000 but now comes with a 70kw (68kw usable) battery or 420Klm (wltp), thats just massive!, new front and rear lights and a few other bits and bobs (for the Exclusive spec). Local dealer said that they were expecting them in for February 2022. looking forward to taking a look at one. I'd be interested if you could get one early and give it a review :)

Hey will you be reviewing the 2022 long range would love your input as I’m so unsure

I have one of these in England and for the money it is really good value but yes it does have some quirks. Charging speeds I have had 47kW on one brand of charger but on another brand I barely saw 35kW so I think it is more the charger than the car. On a 90kW charger I briefly saw 60-70kW. There are lots of other factors that will affect charge speed. I do my timed charging through my Zappi so get 4 hours overnight at 5p/kWh which works fine so not found a need to have timed charging through the car as well.

Great review Nobby. If I'm right they use Nickel cadmium battery technology. Better than lithium-ion. Ni-cd suppose to have up to 20yr life span and are reliable. Only problem is, very expensive to dispose of due to high chemical content. How will that affect trade in value, recycling in future is anybody's guess. Lithium batteries have around 10yr +life cycle. Something we need to check when buying these cars is type and make up of battery. Lovely shots of Sir John Rogersons Quay there...

Wow

I really enjoyed your review on the MG ZS EV. I have a question for you would it be suitable to use for a Taxicab and would you recommend it . I do make x driving in Cork City about 75% City driving by day in heavy traffic and about 25% on the Motorway. I would appreciate it if you could give me a bit of advice as always keep up the good work.

Please check about warm batteries, voltage for charging processes. It charges over 80kW at HPC

I really don’t like the Lane departure either. Had a BMW 2 series on loan recently and it actually pulled the wheel out of my hands. Not sure safety has been thought through. Good review of a car I would not have necessarily considered.

It's not bad for the money but the range still isn't good enough as it sounds like good when you put it in km but in miles it works out as 160 miles and that's on a good day. Bob Flavin who has one on long term loan commented on the fact that there isn't a scheduler for when you charge it. I'd heard the issues with the charging too and the bugs which you'd hope over time will be sorted via software updates but whilst MG are getting there they've a bit to go yet.

Looked at one yesterday and it’s a decent car. No auto for climate control and all interior plastic hard and rough. Love the divorced from my hair comment!

Will Renault be releasing the new kadjar in full EV or PHEV . Would the MG ZS EV be comparable with the kadjar for space inside & boot .

I am just wondering how reliable it will be, being Chinese

Who would ever have thought that plastic car seat covers would have made a come back ????

Good review. Do you think three people can sit in the back comfortably? and how comfortable is the driver's seat? I am a taxi driver and I'm thinking about going for a fully electric car.

Your parking wouldn’t get a second look in the U.S. but the vehicle would because it’s an MG, a brand unavailable in the U. S. since the 1980’s.

Focus with a bit of spec for me please. Good review though.

I'm looking to buy an EV. Thanks for the review. Would you say this car is suitable for 3 Kids and a stroller? The trunk looks a bit on the small side.

Speedometer is in miles, UK spec? I'd imagine that's not technically legal in Ireland for a new car.

There is a big problem here for MG, your buddy Bob Flavin had the same charging issue with 2 different MG Zs and with 3 different fast chargers. No point going to a fast charger if you are on a long journey and it's going to take 3 hours to charge because it won't go over 30 kW. Do MG have any comments on this ???????

Mmm not bad but not great too big n boxy way too many oversized suvs on road be it electric or ice

I dnt like it

I've got one of these as a coutasey car there horrible they love to drink petrol and they hate hill's don't buy one
