About the MG ZS EV Standard Range

The **MG ZS EV Standard Range is a practical and affordable electric family SUV designed to make EV ownership accessible without compromising on space or equipment. As one of the UK’s best-selling budget EVs, it combines a spacious cabin, generous standard features and straightforward electric driving in a value-focused package.

Powered by a single front-mounted electric motor producing 156 hp (115 kW) and 280 Nm of torque, the ZS EV Standard Range delivers smooth everyday performance. The front-wheel-drive powertrain accelerates from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 8.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 109 mph (175 km/h).

The vehicle is equipped with a 49 kWh usable battery (51.1 kWh gross) and offers up to 199 miles (320 km) WLTP range, making it well suited to commuting, school runs and daily family use. Efficiency is competitive for a compact SUV, with official consumption of around 15.3 kWh/100 km.

Charging support includes up to 94 kW DC rapid charging, allowing a typical 10-80% recharge in around 30-40 minutes under ideal conditions. Home charging is supported via AC charging, with a full overnight recharge possible using a suitable wallbox.

Inside, the ZS EV offers a spacious five-seat cabin with a modern infotainment system, digital driver display and a strong level of standard equipment. The SUV provides a 359-litre boot, expanding to over 1,180 litres with the rear seats folded, making it practical for families and everyday cargo needs.

One of the biggest strengths of the MG ZS EV Standard Range is value for money. It offers many of the features found in more expensive electric SUVs while maintaining a competitive purchase price and low running costs.
