MG ZS 2020–2024 car dimensions: 4323 mm long, 1809 mm wide and 1653 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,231 kg. Braked towing is 500 kg.
The cabin centres on a 10.1-inch colour touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard across the range. Air conditioning and cruise control with speed limiter are fitted as standard. Rear parking sensors come on all models. Higher Exclusive or Luxury grades add a 360-degree parking camera, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert. No automatic emergency braking or lane keep assist is offered on the petrol versions of this generation.
Boot space measures 448 litres with the seats up. Fold the 60/40 rear seats and capacity rises to 1375 litres. A dual-height boot floor adds flexibility for loading.
Maximum towing capacity is 500 kg for both braked and unbraked trailers. Payload is listed at 475 kg. The car suits light trailer or general family load duties but offers no heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension options for tougher work use.
The cabin offers solid space for a compact SUV with supportive seats that adjust in multiple ways on higher grades. Soft-touch surfaces and a leather-style wheel appear on top trims. A panoramic roof floods the interior with light when fitted. Front seats heat on upper grades for colder days. Overall it feels practical and roomy enough for daily family use without luxury extras.
Petrol engines return combined figures around 6.5-7.1 L/100 km depending on variant.
Service every 12 months or 15,000 km/miles.
Euro NCAP 3 stars (2017 test). ANCAP 5 stars. ASEAN NCAP 5 stars.
Standard kit includes dual front, side and curtain airbags, ABS, ESP, hill start assist and ISOFIX.
Fuel use sits in the mid-range for petrol compact SUVs. The 1.5-litre and 1.0-litre turbo options deliver claimed combined economy in the high 6 to low 7 L/100 km bracket. Tank size supports decent range between fills. Real-world figures stay close when driven gently.
Servicing follows a straightforward annual or 15,000 km schedule. Capped-price plans are available in many markets to keep costs predictable. Regular dealer visits maintain the long factory warranty.
Crash protection earned mixed results across regions. The 2017 Euro NCAP score was three stars while ANCAP and ASEAN NCAP awarded five stars. Later model years added more driver aids such as autonomous emergency braking on selected grades. Six airbags, stability control and seat-belt reminders form the core standard safety package.
Ownership stays simple with a seven-year warranty in most markets. Routine checks keep the car reliable for everyday commuting and light family duties. Parts and labour remain affordable compared with premium brands.
