MG ZS Long Range 2022 review | The EV that packs a lot in!

[@michaeldawson6309]

Been to test drive one today. Seriously impressed with the quality. Paint and panel gaps excellent. Door close excellent, ride excellent nothing to dislike really. Very nippy and quite too. Yep I'll be getting one of these makes a great deal of sense.

[@dcvariousvids8082]

Best review of this car I’ve seen, packed with info others have missed. Thank you.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kenco1394]

I feel like you enjoyed the car. I Have one ordered and delighted to hear the little digs compared to other brands that I was looking at. For the price and spec you can't argue 😉

[@alancarolan3246]

Great review as always. Very good value car. Kinda sick of brands providing us with a reduced spec per the reduced onboard charger just cause they can. I know VRT has an impact but still it’s not a big ask.

[@claff9732]

Love the review. Some day for it. We have one ordered from dealer in galway. Looking forward to collection day.

[@paulhayes2189]

Did you buy outright? Is so what spec did u get? Any discount?

[@rohitkotian4998]

Do make a video n upload would love to see

[@Meduk]

Hi, what delivery date did they give you?? I been told sometime in July.

[@derekfinnegan734]

Have to agree about your taxi driver comment, Nobby. Last time I was in the city, 2 MG ZSs and a MG5 passed me in Whitehall. I did think that was a good endorsement alright.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Yeah they’re buying a lot of them, great incentives etc but they seem to be getting on well with them

[@1one2two3threetwoone]

Yep loads of uber drivers down here are using them and the Kona

[@athloneduke]

Serious contender for 2022, thanks Nobby

[@Rich.Notwal]

Preheating the battery must be a strong plus point 👍🤔

[@Safety1stDrivingSchoolDublin]

Serious contender to Kia E Niro and EV SOUL in 2022. Excellent spec and same safety features. SUV ,360 camera, much improved range and now with app too. Charging port looks alot better positioned and not as cheap. Big improvements and another great review Mr Noble🤟

[@Meduk]

All those cars where considered and I tried them out. Reason I went for MG is the price. Its just to significant. MG is kitted out with all the tech, range, price. Doesn't look as good as a kia. Willing to give up better looks for money 🤣

[@MrLeemond80]

Every time i think about a car this channel does a video on it around the same moment lol its like magic! Cheers Nobby i think this is a strong contender for the money.

[@stevencampbell1150]

I must admit it reminds me in many ways of my Kadjar the way it looks and the MG is far better specced now than what they were, still don't think I'd have one about me but the main things I remember even from Bob Flavin's review of the older one do seem to have been addressed ie the touch screen and the lack of am app to control things. It's very tempting even here in the UK but I think I'm going to hang on for another bit. One thing's for sure it'll be interesting to see how far the electric car world and the infrastructure has moved on (hopefully) when I'm giving it some consideration in about 5 years time. I can say that if things haven't improved significantly I'll drive mine till the wheels fall off it at which point it will not only be the longest I've kept a car for as I usually sell it on before the MOT which in the North is usually around 4 years of age but my car will owe me nothing.

[@Nigelrudyardmusic]

Brilliant review as ever. I do like the value proposition of this car, and it looks very smart. That range is also quite viable for me ( I need 150+ miles),

[@NobbyOnCars]

Thanks Nigel, another Skoda type solution to a car I feel.

[@Nigelrudyardmusic]

@@NobbyOnCars Agreed, Nobby -- functional and no-nonsense.

Taxi Drivers. Reason so popular as with the SPSV scrap page grant, we could of had a MG5 on the road for 10,200.

[@johnwhite2143]

That's a great electric SUV, good value,looks good to inside an out an plenty space an good range too, love the red colour, considering getting one of these here in Scotland in 3 years time after PCP for current Kia Sportage is finished, great review cheers, it's a choice between this and the new Kia soul ev, 270 to 280 miles range is perfect for me so these would fit the bill perfect and still be able to drive 120 miles to fort William and 120 miles back for my camping trips without getting range anxiety 😁👌👌

[@sahhull]

I'd say if you did 120miles there and 120miles back with the car loaded full of camping gear... At least you'll have a place to stay while youre waiting for the tow truck when the battery dies on the way home.

Approached the sales guy to say sign me up I want the top of the range one....great price...and he said nope it'll be next year they can't get them.....WTF....Also asked are they getting the MG Marvel R and the answer is no again WTF.......so disappointed and sad..

[@joemckillen693]

Could you do a short review showing the different colours and inside trims? I've only seen blue on the road and the dealers have only one test drive model available.

[@waynebateman1664]

Hard to argue with the value.

Thanks for that review. Great stuff as usual.

[@stuartgold3602]

Very good review, slick and getting to the point of the car's important bits. I'm guessing the rear seats don't fold flat?

[@NobbyOnCars]

I didn't check, I will as soon as I have one again soon.

[@111msw]

And a 7 year warranty…..Great EV & review 👍

after which, you'll need to shell out for a new battery

Lol I just finished watching you MG5 review again

[@JohnDoe-bd5sz]

I am a bit confused about the "But not here". On MG's website for my country, both versions have "LED Rear lamps" in the spec sheet. I wonder if they sell it with "normal" bulbs in some regions ?

[@josephgittos3787]

This looks better then most known brands esp the touch screen, its not a bad looking car. Does the steering wheel have reach adjustment? if not a silly move yet again.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Nearly sure it does but I’ll check again in a few week when I have one for a week

[@davidallantaylor]

No it doesn’t, it’s the same as the Gen 1. And also the same as the Nissan Leaf that also doesn’t have reach adjustment on the steering.

[@josephgittos3787]

@@davidallantaylor must be all the same height from their countries, me personally think cars need all the adjustments it can give , my wife is small and needed a pillow for our bmw 1 series , we’re now our evoque seats and steering are so adjustable that she longer needs a pillow and I don’t smash my legs on the steering wheel . The more comfortable you are the better you are going to drive, surely it doesn’t cost that much for steering wheel adjustment

[@glennpowell3444]

Hiya.My wife has the 2021 model and the range is appaling.Its been back to the AD 3 times for software updates and they admit under normal driving its only good for 120 miles.Now winter is here that will drop more.Its sold as being able to average 163 miles on a full charge. They have given her the option to change early.It is on a lease.

[@ianmarsh5109]

Beware if you are planning on having anyone in the back! We test drove one and even at slow speeds the person in the back gets pinged around. It was so bad when I sat in the back, I actually yanked the seatbelt hard to make sure it would lock in the case of an accident. The back seats need so much more support it's not true. Had to rule the car out regrettably because of it but not all is lost as will end up with the MG5 instead I reckon as that's a far better ride, both front & back.

[@zaneverovati]

This is exactly what happened to me when I drove a Qashqai for the first time. In my particular case, my wife got thrown around the back seat, but it was simply a matter of getting used to the ride height, as I had only driven compact hatchbacks until then, so I rolled the car around in the beginning.

[@brec5879]

Gosh you’d never think of bringing someone to sit in back. Must remember that. I’d be carrying my grandkids.

Does the Exclusive have the App to control items from your phone i.e. climate/demist/view charge status?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Yes

[@JohnSmith-zv8km]

Really interesting, helped a lot to think that maybe I can afford an electric car.

[@enucos]

Hi, maybe i missed it in the video, but how strong is the regent? Can you do one pedal drive?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Not quite for my foot anyway

[@shuttayerface503]

Turning off lane assist will improve range if/when needed ( this can be automatic when range is lower than that which is required to reach a destination) The sunroof can be opened using voice activation The indicator plays through the speaker ( im imformed) just not sure why Also has its own great phone app

[@Cman775]

Great review but as someone who plans a lot of road trips the 76kw max charging figure is really a deal breaker for me.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Couple of thoughts - very few chargers do even 100kW. Very few cars pull a constant 76kW. Obviously there are some but you’ll pay for the luxury.

[@madonemt]

the draw rate holds that higher level for quite a while. it has a much better charge curve than much of the competition.

[@Supraboyes]

might aswell stick to diesel if you plan road trips

[@hulkhogan9450]

You will struggle to find a charger in Ireland offering more than 50kW as I have a Tesla and know feom experience plus even when you do get one lf the few higher kW chargers you need to be at very low batgery capacity fornthem to charge any quicker. So the 76kW is perfect, be different maybe in the UK where they have better infrastructure

[@shabsc4723]

Does the SE model have a 360 degree camera or atleast a reversing camera?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Just reverse as far as I know. I've another one soon and will check

[@dronefilmsgermany]

is this better than the mg4?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Charging speeds etc and a few other bits yes but the ZS feels the bigger car so depends what your priorities are etc

[@Safety1stDrivingSchoolDublin]

Does the Exclusive spec still have to electric sunroof?

[@georgeoreilly969]

Yes it does full panoramic

[@Reddylion]

Nice ev

[@zoltrix7779]

The lack of 3ph charging is just silly. Most commerical charge stations will be setup at 16a 3ph. It means single phase charging at a at lot of installations will be 3.3kW. It should be mandated that onboard chargers are 3 phase. Its all about electrical load balancing.

[@zoltrix7779]

@Wooly Chewbakker No sorry, I am talking about AC chargers in commercial sites, shopping centres etc. They are much easier to wired as 16a 3ph 11kW. You clearly didn’t read my post.

[@zoltrix7779]

@Wooly Chewbakker it’s nothing to do with faster. Cars with 1ph 7kW chargers are 32A. An 11kW 3phase wired charge station can only supply 16A per phase, meaning the 7kW cars will only get 3.6kW.

[@Fanmobile411]

Took a test drive in this very car. The only thing it doesn't have is a heated steering wheel. I'm nit-picking😂

[@NobbyOnCars]

A lot of spec for the money. A lot.

[@TOOFUTURETV]

Top video. Very helpful. 👍🏼😎

[@NobbyOnCars]

Thanks

[@garethevans5797]

Is this the trophy version please

[@NobbyOnCars]

It is although different name in Ireland

[@zaneverovati]

Quick question: This one, fully specced - or VW ID.3 - fully specced, but 10.000 km on the clock? I know You've had the ID.3 for a while too. Really need you here. :D

[@NobbyOnCars]

Is the badge important? A full spec ID.3 is a nice idea. If it was a bog standard then an easier choice.

[@zaneverovati]

@@NobbyOnCars personally, it's not about the badge for me. Had it been the case, I'd steer away from the MG. But I quite like it, as my last couple of ICEs were a Qashqai and an X-Trail, both SUVs with nice visibility and perfect for that kindergarten-grocery run. I now have a Ioniq 28kWh and man is it nice, but the winter range is 165km and it does feel a bit claustrophobic ocmpared to my previous SUVs and so ID.3 comes along with that little extra range that makes it all better and then MG comes along as well with an SUV of the same range as ID.3, but the badge makes me sceptical, so I don't know whether it's worth it. I know what to expect from a Volkswagen, but I don't know what to expect from an MG, to say the least. I drove one once in my life and it was an ICE, the old sporty car that reminded of BMW Z3 back in the day, it was so memorable that I don't even know what model it was.

[@zaneverovati]

@@NobbyOnCars also, not to be forgotten - I love Your channel. You sound like a friend of mine that I regularly grab a pint with, and then we talk about anything between Heaven and Earth. You sound very genuine and I look forward to seeing more from You. Cheers.

[@NobbyOnCars]

@@zaneverovati thank you, nice compliment. I do think the colours of the facelift MG coupled with the spec you can get make it a very decent offering. The VW is more familiar to everyone and it’ll have a little bit more power but all in all, MG seems decent.

[@nunyabizniz1983]

Love it but prefer the HS exclusive ❤

[@1911maxhtec]

Does it come with the type2 to type2 cable???

[@NobbyOnCars]

Yes

[@hartoz]

Is that 35,000 GBP or Euro?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Euro

[@KoochiKoochi]

I was seriously considering this car for the money and what your get. But I’m the end I ordered an ID4 instead for the same money. Albeit it’s only 52kWh but just drives so much nicer than the MG. not that the MG was bad to drive though to be fair.

[@NobbyOnCars]

No I understand what you mean. There’s a nice planted feeling to the ID4

[@MrTree421]

what an id4 does that this doesn't do: Well I can think of 125kw charging for example. Which is significant if you are going for longer distances. Still great value car! If you want a really unique car the MG5 is much more of a lone wolf without competition.

[@NobbyOnCars]

True but in real world terms, I could count on one hand the amount of true fast chargers I’ve ever seen Ionity excluded. The majority are 50kW at the moment

[@hulkhogan9450]

Ireland has a handful of 125kw xhargers nearly everywhere is 50kW and your even lucky to get 30-40kW out of them

[@charlesvanderhoog7056]

90% charing at home in the UK? That sounds rather primitive and lack of infrastructue. In Amsterdam, chargers are ubiquitous. You can park almost wherever you like now and and charge. And new charging posts are placed every week. Unassuming so they can be put everywhere.

[@brec5879]

Nobby in Ireland. And yes most people charge at home as infrastructure not there in Ireland yet for reliable charging at stations. Not enough

[@kamally]

Where can you get this for less than 25K top spec? Minimum price seems to be 33K

[@enyaq_gorm]

Hahahaha a taxi driver's pudding 😂🚕

[@marklola12]

If this was £200 or a shade less on lease I'd love to get one but it's 270+ with over 2k upfront so not worth it really, EV cars are still alot expensive, I ordered a 208 GT premium petrol for £175 a month

[@Rayraysplums]

What's the range in English

[@kimmohamalainen3390]

Long range ?

[@GrahamReid34]

Won’t upset the Germans, the id4 won’t rise as quick as that MG

[@rob_in_stowmarket_uk]

Rear badge boot opening… same as MK 1 version. NO ‘leather’ trim! It’s ‘vegan leather’, i.e. plastic. No armrest, or headrest in centre back on MK 1. MG Pilot, as on MK 1 Exclusive. Plus all the blind spot, lane keeping etc, again as previous Exclusive.

[@NobbyOnCars]

The main point of the refresh is that it’s a long range version

[@charlesvanderhoog7056]

Is it available or just a promise?

Not so keen on charging ports being on the front of cars...most car accidents happen at the front of a car, even if the car is still drivable the charging ports are totally knackered and the car useless till fixed

[@NobbyOnCars]

Yes good point, it can be a lot easier to hook up to fast chargers though at the front

[@ghost70]

Sorry but £35k is alot higher than a reasonably priced car, at a Max £25k is a resonably priced car. £25k is still out of alot of peoples price bracket for a new car myself included and im on national average wage, single home owner and i could not afford £25 let alot 35k :(

[@dburke1804]

It has fast charging. "Fast" AC charging doesn't really matter. Certainly not a deal breaker.

[@sahhull]

Thats £27,000 more than Im willing to spend on an electric golf kart. All these EV SUV's look the same (aka bad). Its like they have one design and just glue on the relavent badges on before it gets to the dealer. What if you cannot charge at home? How much of your life will you be wasting waiting for the thing to fully charge? What ridiculus low range do you get when you use the heater? Only today the Amazon man was apologising for the late delivery as his EV van yesterday ran out of charge after 80 miles so he couldnt complete his daily deliveries. Taxi driver are not using EV's... Probably for a good reason... They are crap! If you cant afford to buy it without finance, you cant afford to by it.
