The original MG ZS was cheap and well-equipped but, frankly, there weren't many other reasons to choose it. This replacement model will give competing brands far more to think about, though for such an EV-led maker, you might find it strange that there's now no battery-powered version. MG has other plans in that direction and that does at least leave the spotlight on the Hybrid+ variant we've focused on here, which right now for a lot of potential customers would be a better choice than an EV anyway.
Compared to nearly all its direct compact SUV segment rivals, this ZS Hybrid+ is cheaper, more spacious, better equipped much more powerful. It's more frugal than most of them too. If all of this had been delivered with the cheap-feeling cabin and Lidl looks of the previous generation model, it still might not have been enough for sales success, but significant steps forward have been made in both directions. You'll still find many pricier segment rivals are more avant-garde to look at and sit in, but MG is closing the gap. Creating here a small SUV you'd be unwise to ignore.
