New MG ZS EV 2022 450m Road Trip Part 1

The new Long Range ZS EV from MG has arrived! It's powered by a new 72 kWh battery, and has new styling and new tech. We have the Trophy Connect trim.
Here at Planetauto, we know that when we have a ZS EV on review, a road trip must be on the horizon.
In this first part, join us as we travel down to Silverstone for the launch of their Lap of Lights event. We showcase the range, how to charge it, and we look at what's new with the ZS EV
Part 2 and full review coming soon.

Thanks. I’ve ordered the EV Trophy long range but still had a few concerns about infrastructure. After watching part 1 & 2 most of my concerns have vanished. Great videos, very informative. Thanks again.

[@PlanetautoUK]

You’re very welcome - bear in mind this is a few years ago, it’s improved significantly since then, it’s a great SUV and performs well, keep us posted on your thoughts and thank you Vincent

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thanks, John - glad you enjoyed it! *A

[@gramamg100]

Had my test drive yesterday. 9th dec. trophy connect, had a 25 mile drive to Norwich and got 2.7 miles/kw in my own zs ev 2019. Jumped into the 72kw trophy connect it had 80%soc range of194 miles at 5. Deg c 25 mile test drive on Norfolk flat roads returned 3.3 m/kw, still had 172 miles range. Comfortable and liked the new infotainment system. Unfortunately I have to wait until April for mine.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Good somebody knows how to drive economically, never my strong suit - too many hot hatches in the 90s - excellent news, the app is also and excellent addition, the time will fly by and you have yours to keep you entertained, thank you Graham for coming back, enjoy.

[@ioniq5125]

A great real world review of a wonderfully updated ZS EV. There is one thing still not being displayed on the infotainment and instrument binnacle: charging power in "kW". Please MG, this is critical information. Showing us voltage and amps is fine, but also show kW when we are charging. Everyone else is doing it, can't be that hard to implement.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Ioniq 5

[@GGxfireKeyz]

Guess you could find the power in kW by multiplying volts and amps, but yes that's very annoying

[@ajanjinsan22]

Thanks for this video. Really appreciated your take on it, rather than the usual reviews. Just put my order in for one.

[@GGxfireKeyz]

Great video. I'm finding PCH deals cheaper for this car than a Corsa-E, which is strange considering the size and range difference. Definitely don't need a small SUV but I can't see why you'd pick a Corsa,Zoe or Leaf over this when the MG is cheaper on finance

[@l3ummerTV]

Great to see this video. Was waiting for this after hearing about it from your preview. Great review. I've got my order in for April. Something I've noticed is missing off all the borchures and marketing is there presence of HVAC (which is accessible via the app). It's actually an improvement over the old version which used your classic engine/coil Aircon. Meant to be more efficient and affect battery much less. HVAC is capable of heating and cooling also.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, yes we’ve experienced HVAC before, works well - part 2 will be live by weekend

[@martin096]

Should hopefully order the MG ZS EV Trophy this weekend 🤞. Shame I couldn't reserve the long range model but to be fair we only do about 200 miles a week. ... so after watching this full video I have some concerns, I have a toddler and if we're travelling down the motorway and stop off at a service station, it would be an absolute nightmare faffing around trying to find a new charging point if the queue was too long or the machines were broke. I'd have an angry wife who would argue we should of just got a combustion engine car. The next thing which concerns me is that only 1 person can use the app. We only have 1 car in our household so this would be painful if we need to keep logging on and off all the time. We should have the option to set profiles... why doesn't MG do this!?!?🤔 This video is very insightful but it does raise concerns.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Great news DizzyRock, that range should be perfectly ample with say a type two charge per week, keep us posted

[@RcObsessive]

Awesome review. Could you also state your Average Speed with the total distance for this test, please? This car will be available next month in Istanbul / Turkey and I am really curious what kind of range figures i would get at the speed of 80mph on motorway. Thank you.

[@keithware5314]

It seems the car is much improved all round it's a shame the charging infrastructure hasn't kept pace. When you think how much money it is to put in a charger you would think the company would reduce down time to a minimum so it keeps earning by getting it repaired ASAP.

[@PlanetautoUK]

The charging facilities at the service station is just baffling - especially when there is an empty parking bay at the BP petrol station there. I would have stuffed 2 pulse point chargers there a while ago! 🤣🤣 One leap forward is that new home builds in England will now be required to have EV chargers, so that’s something! *A

[@stevezodiac491]

I have had an EV for 5 1/2 years and the available charger / EV ratio is getting worse, not better - hopeless.

[@PlanetautoUK]

We’re forever charging and have the seen the complete opposite especially in this neck of the woods, thank you Steve

[@mattsbeamer]

A wonderful video with the family. It’s great seeing mum in the videos. Maybe you can do some shorts, where she gives her opinion. Some really funny references too and it’s good to see that Elmo was in action. The whole electric charging point really would frustrate me atm. When work places supply there chargers two, then it will be much easier. I’m always cutting time close and precise. At least sales reps have an excuse for a long break. The light show at the end looks amazing. I look forward to part two

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thinking of getting one, now they have increased the range. Need it for a trip that is nearly 200 miles, most of which is on Motorway (hopefully at 70mph). It's between the MG and eNiro now...

[@PlanetautoUK]

Ooo! Decisions, decisions 🤔🤔 Are you going to test drive them both? *A

[@rogerevans425]

@@PlanetautoUK Have test driven the eNiro, and it does the trip ok, waiting for our local MG dealer to get their test vehicle-in, but unlike our local KIA dealer, who said "take it for as long a trip as you want, and bring it back tomorrow morning" they are very restrictive on test drives. However the price difference between the 2 is still quite considerable.

[@PlanetautoUK]

The eNiro is impressive, but yes there’s a fair price gap

[@stevezodiac491]

Remember at 70 mph you will get much less range than the stated ranges, also less in cold, windy, wet or undulating conditions.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Not necessarily as our latest RoadTrip part 2 really surprised us, it does drop but it was due to Storm Arwen etc

[@David-bl1bt]

An interesting insight into the updated model. My observations from the video... Serms to be a lot of road/wind noise, especially on the motorway. Noticeable motor whine. Infotainment screen looks very.... Dismal Grey. Is it configurable colour-wise? Does the cruise disconnect when changing lanes? A spoken battery warning is an interesting feature, are there any other spoken warnings or messages? If they have gone to the trouble of implementing this feature they should capitalise on its usefulness.

[@PlanetautoUK]

No that’s our professional Rode mic, it’s rather quiet on good motorway sections, none of us noticed a motor whine at any point, a sci if noise yes. You can choose Grey or White, no the adaptive cruise doesn’t do that, voice over - school warnings etc as mentioned at the end, hope this helped

[@borgqueenx]

Thanks, lovely review, looking forwards to seeing the rest. It's sad though that this car doesnt regen on adaptive cruise control.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It recoups braking just minus sharp braking on motorways, which is better, ideally at higher speeds it’s better to coast, the 2nd part explains more, and thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

[@stevezodiac491]

I have a 30 kwhr leaf and have had it for 5 1/2 years. The day I bought it tha rapid infrastructure was hopeless and 5 1/2 years later it is even worse , with the same maintenance routine, slightly more units but electric cars increasing rapidly and therefore demand for rapid chargers outstripping supply. I have been looking at a long range EV, but I will keep my 600 mile diesel merc for many years to come, because of the very poor rapid charging infrastructure. I will keep my leaf around town on the home charger umbilical chord range where it excels and is cheap to run at 5p per kwhr and my diesel for long trips. A long time ( years ) and a long way to go before the rapid charger infrastructure can match ice. At that point I will look for a long range EV, I hope that I can live long enough to see it ? The North is no better as you suggested, as I found out at wetherby, watching people waiting for available chargers.

Or does it tie the car to that one phone? You know there may be a time when my partner wants to use the app on her phone but then I may want to use the car when she is away somewhere or vice versa on my phone. Does that make sense? Can a couple tie themselves to the car with the app? How does it register? I read something about it gives you a QR code etc etc? Many thanks

[@PlanetautoUK]

Good question, we’ll double check with MG UK and thank you for the kind words

[@PlanetautoUK]

Hi Neil, So glad you liked the video! In regard to your questions, we reached out to MG, and their product specialist came back with this: The car can only bind to one ‘user’. It recognises a user by the account details setup (email or phone number), regardless of what phone those details are on. So, in the example we had, because the car you had was already bound/binded/paired/linked… to my user it could not connect yours. That meant we had to go through the unbind process. This is a process an owner would only really need to do when they first get their car, and then when they sell it on. It is possible to have more than one phone with the iSmart using the same user credentials paired with the car. So, if you have the app on your phone set up with your user account, you could also have the same user account details set up on Bens phone. This way the car is still only binding with one user account. If you are driving the car your iSmart app can be logged in, if Ben were then to take the car for the day, you could log out of the app, not unbind, and he could login. This would be the simplest way for couples/families to use the app. Only one phone can be logged in at any one time, but logging in/out is easier than bind/unbind. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you need anything further.

450 metres ? wow

[@PlanetautoUK]

M be mile

[@madmax1412]

@@PlanetautoUK I took it to be metres too. I thought you might have missed the "k" and meant to write "km". Perhaps adjust the title have the word "miles" to avoid confusion for countries that use metric measurements.

@@madmax1412 the shortest road trip known to man, Max😆 good point and will do

[@richardhowlett9424]

Still not proper MG it's cheap shit.... And no dealerships near me Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole,,,, swooped my my mg6 for a vw golf Never looked back

[@adamc950]

And bearing in mind this is a vw /audi man,,,,, nothing has been bettered

[@PlanetautoUK]

Your MG6 is archaic compared to this latest range of models, early Golfs are the proper motors VAG

[@adamc950]

You are overrating this brand. It has no place on roads in 2022. Lets stay premium in the UK. Let's stick to vw golf, the fiesta etc

[@adamc950]

Normandy garage in Guildford stopped selling MG because then didn't sell. They will always be shite

[@PlanetautoUK]

They’ve just outsold Mazda

[@PlanetautoUK]

You are aware of SAIC Volkswagen aren’t you? Recognise some of the VWG parts?

[@PlanetautoUK]

Unlucky considering the latest SMMT stats 😬

[@adamc950]

You can't beat a classic either way
