Great video. Just driven this car with my wife ( she drove it too) on city roads. We are both impressed. Very smooth. Amazing for the price. Minors I noticed you can not pull the steering wheel frontwards ( up & down you can) but you can move your seat & degree of that seat ( so your body moves closer). I am quite a tall person ( 185 cm). The steering wheel position felt good enough with these adjustments. Drives very smooth in the city. A lot of space inside & the boot was truelly impressive compared to our vw golf M6. Suprising for the size of the car. Plenty of head & knee space too. Wish I had tested it on the highway. The only thing that really bothered me was the real range (140 -165) & that there is no auto update system like Tesla & VW ID3. This could have improved the range slightly over time (software) together with other updates of the software like new roads & closest charging stations,.... Felt & looked modern ( not outdated ). DO NOT MOCK THIS CAR UNTILL YOU HAVE DRIVEN IT. Was worried about MG's quality but the chinese take over seems to have a great effect on this car & maybe the brand. The quality did not feel cheap at all for this price. It is not an audi ofc, different price class. Very glad I drove it. I hope they increase the range of this car to around 215 miles or make some cars that will if they do this they will need to boost the charging speed to 120 -150 though ( now it is 80) so the charging time would not be too long.

Good review as usual but missing some important information from MG about warranty and rusting this is probably why most reviews looking at electirc vehicles miss the MG, which i thought was a fantastic bit of kit for the money and still looks, drives like a ordinary car. Upon closer inspection of recent complaints, MG zs EVs rust like mad (queue the 1970s car industry) especially since Henkel helped the chinese to go green in terms of its galvanising process which resulted in a spray on coat rather than the old process of fully dipping panels into zinc. Follow the yellow brick road to the MG warranty document to check the situation and although they state a generous 7 year warranty, this is in fact totally misleading. MG warranty varies from component to component weirdly enough especially when it comes to anti-perforation they dont cover serious manufacturing issues leading to rusting (despite them telling you its covered), unless its surface rust on panel work and unless the rust has created holes in the panels to peer through. Therefore any rusting of the car chasis or membranes will not be covered. If you are lucky enough and early enough to put in a claim, make sure the vehicle is inspected year in year out (documented) and is maintained or else MG wont accept any liability . In terms of the reality of this for the consumer and from the complaints to MG already about the car, most of the rust was seen between the seams of the steel underneath the vehicle. Therefore, before MG will validate any claim scarily enough you may just have a car failling its MOT just before such a claim covered in holes before MG takes action albeit on the back of a goodwill gesture to the customer. I advise anyone buying these buckets to check the sills, undercarriage, suspension, interior especially around the pedals for water and the circuit box which has led to all manner of electrical issues including automatic wipers activating and the horn sounding off at random moments. MG suspension has at the rear steel cups which see a collection of water that will evenutally rust the whole suspension spring, top down. In the words of one MG owner who defended the company MG sells around about 300,000 cars a year, a few defects are expected. However, firstly i would not want to be the unlucky chum to take legal action against MG to fix my automobile. On considering the price of a MG zs EV still, i would not want to buy one just to find out the customer would need to rust proof the thing because china was cutting corners just to be green. i for one am out and sadly now would not purchase one of these vehicles unless it had been checked by both a mechanic, technician and a industrial chemist.

For all those considering purchasing this car or any other electric car in 2024, DON'T. I bought one of these, and it was the biggest mistake of my life. The range is terrible, nothing close to the advertised range. I only get about 70-75 miles in cold weather, which is disappointing. The advertised range is inflated; every morning, you lose 5-10 miles for the battery to heat up. If you dare to turn the heating on, 20-30 miles are gone. Radio, lights, heating, cooling, touchscreen, and sensors all consume your mileage. Besides, it is not cheaper to run than a petrol or a diesel car. Whatever you save on fuel, you will end up paying towards your hyper-inflated insurance premium.

Couldn't believe what I was hearing from what I would consider, a quality car review channel. To recommend this car without thoroughly pointing out its serious flaws was a little bit careless I think. MG themselves are reconsidering exporting these cars to the UK because of Brexit and the massive increases due on shipping costs. Dealers will fall down at your knees and promise the world just to get your signature. However "After Sales" forget about it. The warranty wont be worth the paper its written on if they pull out. NCAP slated this car and it struggled to achieve 3 stars !! But that's ok because it's cheap ? Just my opinion but I would urge future buyers to do as much research as they can.

As far as I'm aware the newer EV has more electronic safety features which the original petrol vehicle doesn't have that is why it had a not so good safety rating however the ev has these now so should prove better on its next tests.

Hold on. This car gets a 3* safety rating. In the Euro ncap crash test they kill one of the children crash test dummies in the back. The safety is woeful. This car should not be sold in the UK, and you really should not be recommending it as a family car.
@snoozylacetti4 жыл бұрын
onlineo u r speaking total crap. All new saic mg have always achieved the minimum 3 star ncap rating (awarded for the structural stability of the car) with a strong safety cell, the next 2 stars are awarded based on driver autonomous technology (the petrol zs did not have so was given 3 stars) of which the zs ev has all the auto brake technology so when tested by ncap is very much expected to hit 4-5 stars.

3.6mi/kWh isn't great, surely? I have to deliberately drive like a tool to get my e-Golf under 4mi/kWh, I've averaged ~4.5 over the 1250mi I've done in it. In my mind I think of it in terms of the old good/better/best of mpg: ZS EV 3.6mi/kWh == 40mpg e-Golf 4.5mi/kWh == 65mpg Ioniq 5mi/kWh == 80mpg If we take the e-Golfs 4.5 average and ZS EV 3.6, the e-Golf is 20% more efficient with a 29% lower usable battery capacity (32kWh vs 44.5kWh). So, the ZS EV only has 9% more range... We still think of efficiency in terms of money saved, that's not so important given leccy is (relatively!) cheap compared to petrol/diesel per mile. It's important to focus on, though, as the kWh of the ZS EV clearly suggests range it doesn't have.
@snoozylacetti4 жыл бұрын
Aaronage obviously the ZS EV is much bigger than the old electric golf so efficiency will be affected. I think the MG is capable of upto 230 miles range in local driving, on a water cooled battery, far better than EGolf

@@grahamdrage1289 I have 2 Kona Electrics and waited 2.5 months for the first one and 4 months for the second one, both arrived in less than half the quoted time. The "12k" more (although my first Kona was only 5.5k more as it cost me £30500) have been well worth it, with 150ish miles / charge or certainly less in weather such as this, I would struggle. I don't see the point for a big family car that only goes as far as a 40kwh Zoe. As I said don't compare apples with pears. If you want to compare it to something similar then to the 40kwh Nissan Leaf.

I disagree. This will be the best selling MG for many years. This is exactly what people want today - SUVs and fully electric. My wife an I have owned 15 MGs and I used to be chairman of the MG Car Club FWD register and also on the committee of the MGF register. You are probably one of those who say the MG Maestro, MG Metro and Montego are not real MGs. You probably also look down on the MGF and MG TF too.
