The model
Read full MG ZS reviewThe MG ZS has a relatively upmarket interior, roomy rear seats, tidy handling and a long warranty. Extremely competitive pricing explains away a lot of its flaws, including its unsettled ride, but the absence of automatic emergency braking is harder to forgive. We reckon the cheapest 1.5 VTi-tech engine in Excite trim makes the most sense.
The trim
See full equipmentThis top-tier trim adds quite a bit to the price of the ZS but also some welcome luxuries, including ba uilt-in sat-nav, a 360-degree parking camera, heated front seats and blind-spot monitoring. You’ll struggle to find a rival for the same price that offers as much kit.
The engine
See full engine specsThis engine's lack of a turbocharger means you need to rev it quite hard to get the best from it. Once it does get going, though, performance is very similar to the pricier 1.0T-GDI.
