Owner Reviews

I have had mine coming up 4 months with no issues at all, lot of car for the money paid and really enjoy driving it.

MGEVs forumpositive

I have found the car to be brilliant and I haven’t had a problem in the three months that I’ve had it.

MGEVs forumpositive

Only had it one month and I really haven't enjoyed driving it at all.

MGEVs forumnegative

Great car for city and rural roads—as long as there are no long inclines or mountain routes.

Press Reviews

Carbuyer rated the ZS 4.1/5 and highlighted strong value, space and economy, while criticising higher-speed road noise.

Carbuyer4.1/5

Autocar called it roomier, cleverer and better-equipped than expected for the money, but noted firm ride and distracting infotainment/ADAS.

Autocar6/10

Carwow praised the powerful hybrid engine and rear-seat space, but warned about cabin plastics, motorway refinement and MG’s reliability record.

Carwow

Top Gear concluded it’s competitive because of its low price, with the hybrid powertrain strengthening the wallet-friendly appeal.

Market Context

United Kingdom: the 2025 MG ZS is sold mainly as the ZS Hybrid+ through MG's UK dealer network, with launch pricing from about £21,995 and strong broker/dealer availability signals. UK import rules generally require VAT and customs duty on vehicles imported from outside the UK, but retail buyers purchase through MG UK with those costs embedded in on-the-road pricing. The UK did not follow the EU's additional China-made EV tariff approach, supporting MG's aggressive UK value positioning. The ZS Hybrid+ is China-built under SAIC ownership, so pricing strength is high, but owner sentiment is sensitive to dealer service quality and software/powertrain behaviour.
