ZS EV

The MG ZS EV is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2019 to 2021, when it cost €31,990 in Germany, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.2 seconds, slower than 75% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 137 miles (220 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 242nd of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.2 mi/kWh (193 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 42.5 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 50 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 137 miles (220 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand in Germany, a 2019 example is estimated at €6,300–€8,800 and a 2021 one at €8,800–€10,900, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2019 car should still manage about 119 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
