2020 MG ZS EV Review

Please note, this video was filmed before the Coronavirus outbreak in the UK.

Hello guys, and welcome back to Car Obsession. So, you think electric cars are expensive? That's not so in the case of the new MG ZS EV, the first ever electric car to come from the British/Chinese manufacturer. On face value alone, it looks to offer great value, but is it any good? This review will give you the answer.

The MG ZS EV is available in two trim levels; Excite and Exclusive, which have respective starting prices of £25,495 and £27,995. The latter features in this video, offering standard features such as 17" alloys, silver roof rails, leather style seats, heated front seats, 6-way electronically adjustable driver's seat, 8" touchscreen with DAB radio, Bluetooth, navigation and smartphone connectivity, air conditioning, rear parking sensors with reversing camera, a health amount of safety kit, plus more... There is also a 7 year warranty as STANDARD.

Powering the MG ZS EV is a 44.5 kWh battery which of course feeds its power to an electric motor which turns the front wheels. 143hp is produced along with 353Nm of torque (260 lb ft), meaning 62mph is dealt with in 8.5 seconds and the top speed is 87mph.

However, what you really want to know, is the range. The ZS EV is able to command a range of 163 miles, which isn't exactly groundbreaking, but it should be just fine for those looking to use the car in an urban environment.

In regard to charging times, it can go from 0% to 80% in 40 minutes when using a 50kW charger and it can be charged from 0% to 100% in 6.5 hours when using a 7kW charger.
