From £419.68 per month inc. VAT
View dealThe MG ZS is a five-seat compact SUV built around space and standard kit rather than badge appeal. At 4.43 metres long with a 443-litre boot, it sits between MG's smaller cars and the larger HS, and it's the model most families land on first.
The choice is refreshingly simple. One body style, two powertrains - a 1.5-litre petrol with a manual gearbox, or a 1.5-litre self-charging hybrid with an automatic - and two trims, SE and Trophy.
That simplicity is the point. You're not picking through fifteen engine and gearbox combinations; you're deciding how much you drive in town and how much equipment you want.
MG ZS key facts
| Body style | SUV |
|---|---|

| Seats | 5 |
| Boot | 443 litres, 1,457 litres seats folded |
| Economy (WLTP) | 43.5–55.4 mpg |
| Braked towing | 500 kg |
| Manufacturer warranty | 7 years / 80,000 miles |
| Euro NCAP | 4 stars |
Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The current ZS is the second-generation car, on sale in this form since 2024. It's a front-wheel-drive family SUV with five seats, five doors and a 443-litre boot with the rear seats up, rising to 1,457 litres folded.
Reviewers consistently praise the space for the money, the generous standard equipment and the hybrid's real-world economy. The common criticisms are road noise at motorway speeds, a ride that can feel unsettled on poor surfaces, and a steering wheel that adjusts for height but not reach - worth a sit-in if you're tall.
Behind it sits MG's 7-year / 80,000-mile manufacturer warranty, with servicing due every 12 months or 15,000 miles. Euro NCAP rated the ZS at 4 stars, with 82% for child occupant protection.
Because the kit list is already dealt with. Every ZS, whichever trim or powertrain you pick, gets a 360-degree camera, keyless entry and start, built-in navigation, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, front and rear parking sensors, air conditioning and roof rails.
The driver-assistance side is equally complete as standard: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist and traffic sign recognition, plus LED headlights, automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers.
Practically, it's a sensible shape for family life - 1.82 m wide, 1.64 m tall, a turning circle from 10.5 m and privacy glass on both trims. Braked towing is 500 kg, so a small trailer is fine and a caravan isn't. There's a tyre repair kit rather than a spare.
Two engines, and they suit genuinely different drivers: a 1.5-litre petrol manual for low-mileage simplicity, or the 1.5-litre self-charging hybrid automatic for town economy and a much stronger turn of speed. Neither ever needs plugging in.
The 1.5-litre petrol produces 114 bhp and 148 Nm through a manual gearbox and the front wheels, with 43.5 mpg on the WLTP test and 145 g/km of CO2. It'll do 0-62 mph in 12.5 seconds, so it rewards an unhurried driving style.
The hybrid pairs the 1.5-litre engine with a 1.8 kWh battery (0.9 kWh usable) for 193-194 bhp, 465 Nm and an automatic gearbox. There's no plug and no charging - the car manages the battery itself. WLTP economy is 55.4 mpg, CO2 is 115 g/km, and 0-62 mph takes 8.7 seconds.
If most of your miles are urban or suburban, the hybrid is the one. Our team also finds company-car drivers lean this way on the CO2 figure; our electric and hybrid leasing guides explain how that works.
| Hybrid | Petrol | |
|---|---|---|
| Boot | 443 litres | 443 litres |
| Power | 193–194 bhp | 114 bhp |
| Seats | 5 | 5 |
| Battery | 1.8 kWh | – |
| 0–62 mph | 8.7 s | 12.5 s |
| Braked towing | 500 kg | 500 kg |
| Economy (WLTP) | 55.4 mpg | 43.5 mpg |
Two trims, and the gap between them is modest: SE covers the core equipment, while Trophy adds larger wheels, a heated steering wheel and adaptive cruise control. Trophy is a hybrid-only trim.
SE sits on 17" Valiant alloy wheels and includes satellite navigation with speed limit recognition, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, leather/suede upholstery and heated front seats. There's also an electrically adjustable driver's seat, a rear-view camera and privacy glass.
The SE is currently available from £296.96 a month.
Trophy brings 18" Sabre alloy wheels, leather style upholstery, a heated steering wheel and adaptive cruise control with intelligent cruise assist, plus an electric parking brake. It's offered with the hybrid powertrain only, and its entry version has 193 bhp.
The Trophy is currently available from £314.47 a month.
Both trims can be specified with the Pan Roof Pack, an option rather than a trim. It adds a panoramic opening sunroof, leather/suede upholstery, a wireless charger and a power tailgate. Factory options need deciding before the order goes in, not after - worth a read of our guide to choosing your car's spec.
