MG ZS EV (2019-2021)
MG ZS EV Exclusive 44.5kWh
Replaced in 2025 by the MG S5 EV · Compare old and new
The MG ZS EV Exclusive 44.5kWh offers around 136 miles of motorway range in the figures shown here, below most rivals in this comparison. Consider journey length and charging access when assessing its suitability.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 84% of its battery health, roughly 166 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you're buying used. What owners say: Cheap to buy used for a practical electric SUV. Constant warning sounds and notifications (bongs) that owners find intrusive and difficult to fully disable.

What Owners Say
PositiveOwners Love
- Cheap to buy used for a practical electric SUV
- Very low running costs when charged at home on a cheap overnight tariff
- Quiet and smooth driving experience with good acceleration and instant torque.
Watch Out For
- Constant warning sounds and notifications (bongs) that owners find intrusive and difficult to fully disable.
- Severely limited motorway range at constant 70 mph, realistically 80-130 miles between charges.
- Winter range significantly reduced to 120-135 miles compared to 160-170 in summer.
Owner Tips
- Charge at home on an off-peak tariff to keep running costs low
- Ask whether all battery-management software updates and MG service bulletins have been done; early cars needed several, at a dealer
- Disable MG Pilot warning sounds in the settings menu to reduce the intrusive notification tone.
