Available in two trim levels, Comfort and Luxury, and in five colors, this new compact-sized electric SUV goes on sale in 2020. Often perceived as less efficient and down-market, Chinese manufacturer SAIC Motor now demonstrates the opposite with a simple, efficient and elegant 100% electric SUV.

MG ZS EV video test

MG ZS EV test drive: The most affordable SUV

New-generation electric vehicles are taking another important step forward, bringing differentiation to the market with the return of MG Motor, which is launching its all-new electric SUV at a highly attractive price.

Accompanied by cutting-edge new technology, emblematic of the MG manufacturer, the ZS EV offers us a true driving experience with the help of "MG Pilot" driver assistance, ensuring real confidence on the road as well as a more thoughtful and sustainable way of driving. Indeed, MG Pilot is a relatively sophisticated package of active driver safety assistance. It includes functions such as lane departure warning, traffic jam assistance, rear cross-traffic alert and a reversing camera for parking.

MG ZS EV, the cheapest electric car

One of the most affordable electric vehicles on the market, the MG ZS EV offers an affordable, high-performance alternative.

Available from €33,990 without environmental bonus, the MG ZS EV is attractively priced compared with the French leader, the Renault Zoé.

The ZS EV has a range of up to 263 km in the WLTP cycle, thanks to its 51 kWh battery. What's more, with a speed of 60 km/h, the automaker claims a range of 440 km, making urban travel highly attractive.

In terms of powertrain, the MG ZS EV delivers up to 130 kW of power (177 hp) and 280 Nm of torque. It also boasts a top speed of 140 km/h. What's more, the ZS EV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds, and from 0 to 50 km/h in just 3.6 seconds.

MG ZS EV test drive: Recharging

MG ZS EV Refill

When it comes to recharging, the ZS's 51 kWh battery can be recharged from 10% to 80% in around 40 minutes at a 70 kW rapid terminal, making it the ideal solution for urban travel.

At a slow-charging station, it will take you up to 8 hours and 45 minutes to complete a 0-100% charge at 6.6 kW.

In addition, to ensure more efficient fast recharging, MG offers liquid cooling technology to regulate battery temperature.

MG is currently offering a special package for private customers when they purchase a ZS EV. You'll benefit from a free installation and charging station, plus 1 year's charging from MG's partner charging station networks.

Equipped with a host of features, including autonomous emergency braking, lane-change assist and adaptive cruise control, you can be sure of real driving peace of mind.

MG ZS EV interior

Inside, the design is very classic, without taking any risks. Indeed, the cabin is spacious and conventional, making for an intuitive dashboard if you're thinking of making the transition to electric power and want a vehicle with the same architecture as combustion-powered vehicles.

Despite an affordable and highly competitive price tag, the MG ZS EV's interior surprised us with perfectly executed assembly and a quality foamed plastic dashboard.

What's more, both finishes offer a wealth of equipment. The interior features a panoramic sunroof, GPS, electric driver's seat and intuitive multimedia system.

Ohere's plenty of room for up to 5 people in the passenger compartment. What's more, the 60/40-split folding system optimizes the rear trunk, which is still very spacious at 448 liters.
