Overview

The MG ZS EV is a B-segment electric SUV with five seats, a 51.1 kWh battery and a 320 km range. Launched in Malaysia in 2024, it suits buyers who want a compact EV SUV without a long variant list. The single Luxury variant costs RM126,629, which puts it just above the BYD Atto 3 and Leapmotor C10.

ZS EV in 2026 — what's new

The MG ZS EV carries on into 2026 unchanged as the Mk1 facelift, with one Luxury variant. Malaysia received it in 2024 alongside the MG4, after bookings opened with a 51 kWh battery, 320 km range and 176 PS/280 Nm. The latest ZS EV-related development is the MG S5 EV, which has been lined up as its replacement in Malaysia.

Verdict

The MG ZS EV keeps things simple: one compact electric SUV, one battery size and a usable 320 km range. It is not the cheapest choice in this class, sitting above the Perodua QV-E, Seres 3, BYD Atto 2, Neta X, Leapmotor C10 and BYD Atto 3 on price. Its other caveat is timing, because the MG S5 EV has already been positioned as the ZS EV replacement.
