Practical family space

The all-new MG ZS is larger than its predecessor and competes in size with vehicles such as the Nissan Qashqai. RAC says the cabin offers substantial room for adults and children in car seats. Its 443-litre boot can accommodate two pushchairs, while a height-adjustable floor is designed to make loading easier.

Equipment and comfort

RAC describes the revised interior as an improvement, citing soft-touch materials, a padded armrest, metallic trim and a raised driving position. Standard equipment includes satellite navigation, a reversing camera, rear parking sensors and keyless entry. The review notes that limited steering-wheel adjustment could make the ZS unsuitable for taller drivers. Trophy versions add heated seats, a heated steering wheel, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat and a 360-degree camera.

Hybrid performance and tax change

The self-charging hybrid system produces 196hp and is said to accelerate from 0 to 62mph in 8.7 seconds. RAC explains that the engine powers electric motors rather than directly driving the wheels, supporting smooth low-speed operation; claimed economy reaches 55.4mpg. The UK Government announced tax changes affecting new Motability leases from 1 July 2026, including standard-rate VAT on displayed Advance Payments. Dealers will explain individual circumstances before ordering.
