New MG ZS 2021 1 Litre Automatic Review & Road Test

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The new MG ZS is here, an SUV available in either Explore or Exclusive. We had the latter on test in Dynamic Red TriCoat - an optional paint, and our model has the 1 litre turbo charged 3 cylinder petrol engine with a 6 speed automatic gearbox.
Our model retails for around £20,295 plus the paint, the Exclusive comes with lots more too, including 360 camera, BSM and lots of safety too.

    Thanks so much, guys this will be for my Extremely Tall and large Yetty of a son with autism. You have sealed the deal for me on the MG ZS SUV 1.0T GDI Exclusive Automatic. I placed my order Friday 20th Januery 2023. Looking to arrive at latest 31 march based on customisations on order. Keep up the good work ❤💯

    I was looking forward to this review, and wow, another great review. I can see another rise in video and editing too. Onto the car, I love that the MG logo on the stitching reminds me of their old turbo model. I love that they are listening to the people who pick faults. One thing I don't understand on these cars (and it includes my 1 series BMW) why when you pop the boot, why don't they make it open fully :) keep up the good work

    Have you noticed yet that MG do not offer any UV protection on the SAIC glass. I own MG ZS EV and have had 15% privacy tints in rear of car installed and after a recent trip to Wales I’m now considering the 70% uv tints on the plain untreated drivers/passenger windows and windscreen as you can easily get sunburnt driving long distances and car becomes warm quickly. Apparently SAIC don’t have a tint process on their production line.

    You’re very welcome, well good news there is now a 1l turbo with a manual now available, we should have had it on these with the HS Hybrid, then 3rd lock down struck. Therefore if you prefer manual there’s now a 1l or 1.5 the 3 cylinder is more modern and uses the engine out of of the earlier Vauxhall’s namely Corsa, smooth better economy and enough power with better acceleration. The 1.5 is trusty unit due to no turbo does need to be driven harder. All boxes do the job well, hope this helps.

The lights come on in the daylight, and no...not the day running lights, the headlights, and when you remove the key the horn sounds and the doors lock and mirrors fold.

    Nice car, but very bad mpg nasty petrol engine, if only you did a diesel version be getting double the MPG. For this reason I'd never choose a petrol engine especially for a SUV.

    It’s not a bad engine, just needs to be driven hard, emissions regs have done it no favours here, easy to repair too due to its age, it’s all electric mining forward anyway it appears, thank you Declan

    I’ve got one now as a hire car from work. The spec is amazing. The quality of the plastics are terrible. There is an annoying rattle from the dashboard. But I do drive an E-class normally.

    @@PlanetautoUK most things are manufactured in China and the production quality for one brand shouldn't be compared to another. Also don't trust Chinese engineers. The only point this suv competes in is price, but saftey scores, running costs and features are lacking compared to other brands...and with a 1 liter engine with one 120 pound of torque its easy to see why. I'm sure this is the same engine hyundai and kai put in there small hatchbacks...not exactly suited for an SUV. It does have a 7 year warranty though so at least it got that going for it.

    It’s a GM engine used in the Corsa, 3 cylinder turbo - SAIC makes the steering wheels for the Golf GTI as well as many others - have you driven one, if not it’s worth trying one.

    It’s all Stellantis now well for 3 days or so, bear in mind the ZS 1 litre was developed when Vauxhall wasn’t PSA. We think you’ll be surprised. EQA from Mercedes looks an interesting one and you can never go wrong with Peugeot - it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the MG, the 3 was full of hard plastics, the latest MG’s ZS and HS are a new breed, please come back and tell us what you think.
