  Can MG's ZS EV match the established players in the compact electric SUV class? The MG ZS has garnered a reputation for being one of the more practical small SUVs on the market - a vehicle that sits between the likes of the Nissan Juke and Qashqai on size, while competing hard on price.

• New MG ZS EV review

  17-07-2019 15:15
  
  Verdict
  The MG ZS EV isn’t about to set new benchmarks on dynamics. But as an overall proposition, with that aggressive pricing, the practicality and low running costs factored in, it is by far the best effort yet from the ‘reborn’ MG brand. And one that deserves to find its place as a real alternative to the likes of the Renault Zoe and Nissan Leaf - particularly amongst electric car customers, second-car families and company car choosers, who tend to be more focused on ease o
