MG ZS SUV (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Generous kit and affordable prices	A bit so-so to drive
Good interior quality given the price	No reach adjustment on the steering column
Looks pretty stylish	Lots of road noise

Quick Summary

The MG ZS (2024-present) is the second-generation of MG's popular small SUV, marking a significant evolution with smarter styling, improved interior quality, and a focus on generous space and equipment at an aggressive price point. Initially offered with a self-charging Hybrid+ system, it positions itself against both compact SUVs like the Toyota Yaris Cross and larger models such as the Dacia Duster, providing a roomy interior and competitive 443-litre boot space.

The hybrid powertrain delivers 193bhp, achieving 0-62mph in 8.7 seconds, alongside impressive official fuel economy of 55.4 mpg, contributing to low running costs. While the ride can be firm, road noise pronounced, and steering lacks reach adjustment, the ZS offers keen body control, comprehensive standard kit including a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and a generous 7-year warranty, making it a compelling and practical choice for value-conscious buyers.

Best for: Buyers on a budget, those seeking generous space, practicality, and equipment in a small SUV, families, buyers looking for a hybrid with low running costs, and those who appreciate a long warranty.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising ultimate driving dynamics or ride comfort, those sensitive to road noise, or those who need steering wheel reach adjustment.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ZS if: You're on a budget, seeking generous space, practicality, and equipment in a small SUV, are a family, or are looking for a hybrid with low running costs and a long warranty.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise ultimate driving dynamics or ride comfort, are sensitive to road noise, or require steering wheel reach adjustment.

Competitive Position: The MG ZS (2024-present) is a strong contender in the compact SUV market, offering exceptional value, space, and equipment for its price. While it may not offer the most refined driving experience or quietest cabin compared to some rivals, its hybrid powertrain provides impressive fuel economy and its improved interior quality and styling make it a compelling choice. The generous 7-year warranty further enhances its appeal, positioning it as a sensible and highly practical option for budget-conscious families and individuals.
