It may seem that the MG ZS has been around since the early 2000s as a compact sports model, but the car manufacturer chose to use the same nameplate for a compact crossover that was released in 2017. Since then, several updates have occurred, including the release of an all-electric ZS model. The ZS has been so popular that it has helped establish the carmaker as one of the UK's favourites.

Used MG ZS FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the MG ZS?
The petrol engines are the most popular, but the electric has been gaining more popularity as it has started showing up among used cars. It's possible that the electric variants could overtake the petrol choices in the future.
Which are the most popular model variants?
MG offers the ZS in the Excite and Exclusive models. The Exclusive is more popular because it offers more kit for a decent value, including a digital instrument cluster, leather-style upholstery, satnav, a 360-degree parking camera, 17-inch alloy wheels and an electrically adjustable driver's seat.
What optional extras should I look out for?
You should look out for the upgraded sound system, especially with the 3D technology. There are also updated safety systems worth looking for, such as blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
Is the MG ZS a good family car?
Yes, there's room in the ZS to hold a family. The car also has enough boot space to make travelling on holiday trips possible. The wide-opening rear doors give children and adults quick access to the back row.
Is there a hybrid version of the MG ZS?
No, MG released petrol versions of the ZS when it first launched. While these are still available, there's also an all-electric model now that provides up to 273 miles of driving per charge.
Is the MG ZS available as an automatic?
The ZS has been available with either an automatic or a manual transmission. While the manual tends to be more popular among used cars, there are plenty of models available with an automatic.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
No, MG didn't offer four-wheel drive with the ZS, which isn't unusual for a car in this segment. Instead, all models have front-wheel drive.
