What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
Shared watch-outs for both cars
Owners of every car here flag infotainment & software, real-world range. Worth checking on a test drive whichever you choose.
MG ZS EV
Trophy Long Range 72kWh
Owners love
- Excellent value for money compared to competitors like Tesla and VW, with well-equipped trim levels.
- Very low running costs compared with petrol when charged on an off-peak tariff
- Good real-world range of 200-270 miles in mixed conditions, with the 72.6 kWh battery providing comfortable margins.
Watch out for
- Software and app issues including infotainment bugs and connectivity problems in weak signal areas.
- Limited real-world motorway range at constant 70 mph, typically 160-180 miles before requiring a charging stop.
- Winter range significantly reduced to 200-220 miles compared to summer range exceeding 250 miles.
Owner tips
- Charge at home on an off-peak tariff to keep running costs low
- Choose the Long Range (72.6 kWh) battery for comfortable range margin on longer journeys; Standard Range (51 kWh) is adequate only for under 120-mile daily commutes.
Skoda Enyaq
iV 60
Owners love
- Spacious, comfortable cabin and a big boot that suits families, dogs and bulky kit
- Very low running costs, with owners commonly seeing 3-4 miles per kWh in mild weather
- Well built, with interior materials owners rate above its VW group siblings
Watch out for
- Real-world range falls well short of the official figure, and cold weather takes a further 25-30% off
- Many features were paid options, so two cars of the same year and badge can be very differently equipped
- Faster DC charging was a paid option on early cars, so some 2021-era cars rapid-charge at only 50 kW
Owner tips
- Check the factory specification certificate in the Skoda app (or with a dealer) to see which DC charging rate and options a car left the factory with
- Confirm a heat pump by the refrigerant label under the bonnet (R744 means heat pump, R1234yf means none)

Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the MG ZS EV or the Skoda Enyaq?
The Skoda Enyaq is £45 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £168 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the two land within £165 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the MG ZS EV and Skoda Enyaq like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 199 miles for the MG ZS EV and 208 miles for the Skoda Enyaq - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 36 minutes in the MG ZS EV and 24 in the Skoda Enyaq, so the Skoda Enyaq loses less time at each stop.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the MG ZS EV or the Skoda Enyaq?
The MG ZS EV is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 70 mm narrower than the Skoda Enyaq. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 591 mm of total clearance for the MG ZS EV and about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 1.9 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
