Video Summary
Here is a summary of the video review about the electric car:- It's the MG ZS long-range with the big battery, and long range, for a low price.
- It is less than £30,000, and offers more range than the test Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus.
- Its front end is the biggest change, getting rid of the grill for a blanked-in bit which works well.
- It has Mustang-esque lights.
- The charge port was moved for easier access.
- Lights indicate the state of charge.
- The massive charge port has been moved, which was cumbersome before.
- Owners had dislikes about the previous facelift, which have been fixed.
- The side is pretty much as it was before, with different alloy wheels and a standard SUV profile.
- Roof bars can now take 75 kilograms.
- The rear entry is very good.
- The rear has a slight redesign but is pretty much the same.
- The MG badge is how you open the boot, which gets dirty.
- The reviewer finds the steering wheel solid but would prefer it to be softer.
- Buttons are good.
- The door is made of hard wearing plastic.
- Interior has soft touch materials.
- A display is in place of a virtual cockpit.
- Wireless charging is included.
- There’s a KERS button to adjust the regenerative level.
- This car has vehicle-to-load.
- There’s a decent sized glove box.
- There are proper buttons for home page, temperature, and fan speed.
- Plenty of family stuff you need.
- A small but helpful critique, it gets difficult to reach the controls when a tall cup is in the center cup holder.
- It comes with a variable boot floor.
- The back area has deep bits on either side.
- A five year update has made a lot of improvements.
- The car is made in China.
- Range, in winter: roughly 190 miles.
- Range, in summer: roughly 260 miles.
- Motorway range is two to four degrees centigrade with heated seats blunts the range a fair bit.
- While it lacks great power, it has enough power to get by.
- Traction control feels quite 1990’s.
- It's not a hot hatch but it is an SUV.
- Car value was mentioned, saying “That's so much better.”
- For a family car, this should be a no brainer.
- Compared to close competitors such as the Peugeot e-208 (at roughly 27 grand) it’s far better with five-star ENCAP.
- It's going to force manufacturers to look at what they’re doing.
- At less than thirty, it compares to the Model 3 and a five year warranty and will do more range.
- The interior equals most cars of its value.
- The reviewer stated he cannot find a single reason he would recommend people spending five grand more for something else.
