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 SUV (2024-present) represents a significant evolution for the popular small SUV, building on its predecessor's success. Under Chinese ownership, MG has surged in the UK market, with the ZS being a key contributor due to its blend of low pricing, generous space, and equipment. The new second-generation model boasts smarter styling and a much-improved interior, maintaining its value-for-money appeal with aggressive pricing and extensive standard features. Initially available with a Hybrid+ self-charging system, a pure petrol version is set to follow.

Despite being classified as a B-segment SUV, the ZS offers impressive interior room, comparable to a Vauxhall Astra, with ample space for four adults and a 443-litre boot. Interior quality is surprisingly good for the price point, featuring appealing materials. While its driving dynamics might be "a bit so-so" with noticeable road noise and a firm ride, its hybrid powertrain promises impressively low running costs, with official figures of 55.4 mpg and 115g/km CO2. The generous kit, competitive pricing, and a seven-year warranty make it a compelling choice.

Best for: Drivers seeking a spacious, well-equipped, and affordable small SUV with low running costs and a long warranty.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising refined driving dynamics, exceptional ride comfort, or minimal road noise at higher speeds, or those who need steering wheel reach adjustment.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the MG ZS SUV if: You're seeking a spacious, well-equipped, and affordable small SUV with low running costs and a long warranty.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise refined driving dynamics, exceptional ride comfort, or minimal road noise at higher speeds, or require steering wheel reach adjustment.

Competitive Position: The second-generation MG ZS SUV offers a thoroughly convincing evolution, providing more space, practicality, and standard equipment than most rivals for a lower cost. It now also adds smart styling, impressive interior quality, and low hybrid running costs, along with a very generous seven-year warranty. While it has some ergonomic quirks, can be a bit raucous, and rivals might ride more comfortably, its keen value-for-money makes it a strong contender in the crowded compact SUV market.
