About the MG ZS EV
The ZS EV is MG's compact electric SUV — roomy for its size, practical, and well-priced for the segment. The 2024 model uses a 72.6kWh LFP battery for 440km WLTP range and has a freshened interior. It's a solid choice for buyers wanting an electric small SUV with a conventional look and MG's growing Australian dealer network.
Key differentiator
Larger LFP battery (72.6kWh) than most rivals at this price, giving genuine 440km range without paying premium prices.
Who is this for?
Buyers wanting a practical electric SUV at under $45K with a more conventional SUV look than the sleeker hatches in the segment.
Variant buying guide
The Essence is the sole Australian variant at $42,990 with a full safety and comfort specification. DC charging peaks at 92kW — slower than the MG4 and many newer rivals — so plan around 42 minutes for a 10–80% charge on long trips. For a more charge-efficient option at a similar price, the MG4 Excite 64 is worth comparing.
