Detailed review and test of the 2023 MG ZS EV Long Range with a 115kW front motor and 69.9kWh usable battery.
Would you buy the upgraded MG ZS EV over an MG4 – or a BYD Atto 3? We think both those vehicles fare better in either hatch or small SUV format. The ZS EV is feeling old, mostly in the chassis department, and it isn’t as cheap as it once was.
As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct.
