Find your perfect ZS

The MG ZS has plenty in its favour, not least its low price and the fact that you get lots of equipment as standard. It also impresses for performance and fuel economy, and has roomy rear seats and a big boot. It's just a pity it's not better to drive and that the driving position won't work for everyone. Entry-level SE trim represents the best value for money.

The entry-level trim is fairly well-equipped despite its low price, with rear parking sensors, LED headlights, a 10in touchscreen infotainment system and air-conditioning all fitted as standard. It's the only we'd go for.

This engine's lack of a turbocharger means you need to rev it quite hard to get the best from it. Once it does get going, though, performance is very similar to the pricier 1.0T-GDI.
