The MG ZS has plenty in its favour, not least its low price and the fact that you get lots of equipment as standard. It also impresses for performance and fuel economy, and has roomy rear seats and a big boot. It's just a pity it's not better to drive and that the driving position won't work for everyone. Entry-level SE trim represents the best value for money.

Entry-level SE trim is our chosen version to go for. Why? Well, it keeps costs to a minimum but still comes with standard equipment that includes 17in alloy wheels, keyless entry, air-conditioning, adaptive cruise control, automatic LED headlights, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and a 10.1in touchscreen infotainment system with DAB radio, Bluetooth, built-in sat-nav and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone mirroring.

If you need to cover longer distances regularly, this 68.3kWh battery version (usable) will be the one for you, covering 273 miles officially before you need to plug it in. Like the smaller battery version, performance is adequate rather than amazing, with the Long Range actually covering 0-62mph 0.2sec slower. Even so, it’ll still be enough for almost every situation.
