MG ZS ON and OFFROAD REVIEW 2023 : THIS WILL SHOCK YOU!

[@micky4921]

We have the ZS auto. Exclusive. Can't believe all the extras for the money. Rides beautifully plenty of leg room all round. Wife loves the easy clean interior after the grand kids have been in it. Overall so far total satisfaction.

Awsome thanks for the comment mick and sharing Your experience with us🤗

Watched plenty of content on the ZS over the past few months, and test driven all of the current, petrol options. I decided on the 1.5, Excite (entry level) trim. This car is all about value for money, and the 'excite' does that the best here. What's perhaps even more subjective though, is pretty much every addition that comes with the 'exlusive' trim level just isn't as great in realiity as the 'headlines' would have you believe. Some examples: The leaterette seats - They're okay, and intiially make you feel like you're in a more premium car, but the seats in the excite trim are very comfortable too (and don't get much attention in these reviews). The heated seats - Only 1 setting (On/off) - No moderation in heat, and I found myself turning it off within 10 minutes due to it being too much. The digital dash (vs. analog dials in 'excite') - The rev counter reading is alway registering at x100 RPM, meaning the the digital read out is just plain annoying most of the time, and jumps about too much during driving. What's more - the information provided by the 'digital' fitmet doesn't display any more information than that of the smaller display housed in between the excites' analog speedo and rev counter. I also feel the analog dials are a classier fitmet too (subjective, I know!). Sat Nav - A completely pointless fitment for anyone who has access to Waze/ Apple Maps, etc. In fairness, I found the in-build sat nav to be ALOT LESS laggy on my test drive than most reviews would have you believe! 360 parking camera - To some, the parking/ 360 cameras will bring huge appeal towards the Exclusive. I thought the same initially, but, frankly I found the picture quaulity to be one of the worst I've seen in any modern car, and I would almost go as far to say it actually cheapens the general 'feel' of the car. It's really poor! Sunroof - No longer being offered on any petrol variant! Due to "costs" (according to my local dealer). I generally have a lot of like for the car, and I know there a few other things in the Exclusive model which I've not mentioned, but if you're really after a great value car - I strongly recommened the Excite!

Tom this is an incredible message. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and giving others an in-depth insight in to why you bought the Excite trim! It’s always great to see messages like this and hear from real world owners. So thanks again for stopping by and taking the time to leave us a comment. 🤗

[@paulwardropper9579]

i have the 1 litre turbo (auto) exclusive sadly that did not come with sunroof which would have been nice ,i do find it is pretty nippy and love the cool blind spot indicators in the wing mirrors

[@OldLien1]

watching this video is the thing that made my mind up to buy a MG ZS Exclusive Auto, and I love it! part exchanged a C-class for it and it was no comedown

[@CarChatTV]

Oh brilliant. That’s great to hear. I bet you love it. Thank you so much for sharing and commenting 🤗

[@loojishtc9899]

How has the car been? Is it a torque converter or DCT? Thinking of getting an auto myself.

[@ashleyconraduk7320]

I like this presenter , he seems really cool. I can't make up my mind on this car. The first generation looked really geeky and mumzy (the front of the car looks lower than that back). This one is definitely an improvement looks wise but still not there. But for the price , it's worth it

[@CarChatTV]

Hey Ashley, thank you for the positive comment very kind of you. And for sharing your thoughts about the car 🤗

[@thedavidclack]

There is a mix up here, the 12.1 0-60 time is for the automatic, MG claim 10.5 for the 1.0 manual and 10.4 for the 1.5 manual.

[@CarChatTV]

Cheers David. Thanks for the comment 🤗

[@sandymclennan2073]

my wife has the 1.0 exclusive auto, April 22, no panoramic roof. not a smooth auto like my Ford and I find the steering too light it has a few electric glitches like driving lights come on on bends, roundabouts, not just one though, both of them, also the rear wiper comes on automatically whether it is raining or not when you go into reverse, a real pain when the window is dusty as it will eventually mark the rear screen.....it gets you from A to B but I dont think I would buy another one.....yet.....and yes I have been back to the dealer and they say they are all the same...

[@georgepapamichail1006]

At last someone who actually refers to problems !!! Durability wise , does it have any overall serious problems , other than these annoying glitches ?

[@timbunker4529]

I have the 1.5 Excite and it's been great. All you get extra on the Exclusive the Leather interior which ain't Leather it's synthetic. The cams and satnav. Well with mobile phones who needs satnav. It appears you now get a sunroof.

[@timbunker4529]

I have a game I play on any journey, count how many you see! Apparently it's the best selling car in the UK.

[@Miss.kittty]

It has all the bells and whistles, yet no rear air vents. a shame when you live in a country like Australia. Also, the sun roof not having a solid interior cover. Gonna notice that on a 110 degree day lol. Good review, thank you.

[@engr.bilalyounas3838]

How much is the fuel average. L/km

[@murrayhyde4902]

I tested an mg zs excite yesterday. I wanted to like it. But it was super revvy or noisy when accelerating from slow speeds.. sorry i couldnt live with it despite thw cheap price.

[@CarChatTV]

Thanks for sharing. Yeah it won’t be everyone. Sounds like you just couldn’t get over the noise and that’s absolutley fine. Certain things just don’t work for some. I’d be more inclined to down the BYD route the seal U PHEV is better than MG at the moment I think. Thanks for chatting and leaving a comment 🤗

[@joanmainwaring9594]

Picking up mine tomorrow, can't wait ❤❤❤

[@CarChatTV]

Brilliant. Very exciting. Have fun. Thanks for sharing and leaving us a comment 🤗

[@MarthaMansbridge]

How does this have a panoramic roof? They’ve never sold the ICE ZS with this?

[@CarChatTV]

Hi Martha, thanks for the comment. Where are you based? This is a Uk model. Maybe they don’t offer it the same in other countries. Thanks for chatting with us 🤗

[@toncilozic8902]

In EU only ZS Luxury model with manual gearbox have a panoramic roof. If you choose automatic transmission, you can't have a panoramic roof. Sad but true:-/

[@bgokcen]

@@toncilozic8902you won’t have that as an option in Turkey even you’ve got Luxury Plus model 😢

[@OldLien1]

Great Review, Hope you get to have a go in the Auto Ps Love the look

[@CarChatTV]

Awsome thank you for your comment! Yes can’t wait to try out the auto. Thanks for chatting 🤗

[@zeroedout]

Good video but whoever edited this please fix the music it was too loud vs the voice

[@CarChatTV]

Thanks for the comment! Really appreciate the feedback. I think for some reason in the edit the music is ok from working on the laptop speakers. But then when it imports to KZbin and you listen on earphones or phone speaker it seems to be a lot louder. It’s an issue we are looking into. So thanks again for sharing🤗 please don’t let it put you off other videos. Would love to hear your thoughts on those too, especially this weeks vid on Friday as hope to have rectified the sound issues . Much appreciated once again 👍🏽

[@johnmillbrookify]

Thanks for the helpful review. My feeling is that MG are almost there but not quite. There seem to be a few niggles and improvements that need to be made before I'd buy one, even though it's great value. Hopefully on the next update. 🤞🏻

My next door neighbour just got one of these had it a week took it back said it couldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding,it’s that slow ,no power ,got money back went elsewhere 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have the 1.5 it's more power than that one it's 0-60in 10.4 sec I've not tried it . But its a great car brought it new in march for £21,235.very slow 0-62 that is. I only drive round town at the moment and I get 32to 33.Ur not driving very well if it's going every where mine holds the rd good but I am an ex biker lol . Exhausts are fake lol all of them are fake now..

[@johnmillbrookify]

I thought the 1L Turbo was more powerful from reviews I've watched?

[@oliverstemp9132]

Had one as a hire car, the steering and body roll were awful. It’s also got the worst stereo in any car. Don’t buy it. It was a very frustrating car. Also the radio comes on every time you start the car whether you like it or not, and it makes so many beeps and bongs. The presenter is rather fun though.

[@CarChatTV]

Hey Oliver , thanks for the comment! Cool name by the way. Appreciate you sharing your experience with us. Thanks for the kind words 🤗

[@johnpaulporrelli6208]

the only thing putting me off this car is the crash test rating.

[@evanmclafferty3020]

Don't crash it then 😂

[@johnpaulporrelli6208]

that's the plan but you can't account for everyone else @@evanmclafferty3020

[@Bribie12]

Wow you poor old Brits are getting gouged... My ZS here in Australia was $AUD 22,000 which is the equivalent of £11 grand. We have pretty high taxes here, so what's going on over there?

[@mikecosslett1421]

I've just bought my second mg zs exclusive had the cheaper trim on my last car no panoramic sunroof on mine think mg has stopped doing them excellent car for the money could do with a better sound system though 🤔

[@paulwardropper9579]

they are on top range HS versions and ev models

[@glyntimmins8929]

It’s a great car with great spec. BUT you will forever putting fuel in it - it’s very uneconomical! That’s the only downside.

[@CarChatTV]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Oh really. How much if you don’t mind me asking for reference per month does it cost on fuel alone? Thanks for chatting and leaving a comment 🤗
