Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

MG ZS EV
- Understated and classy styling
- Rich interior quality. Feels very upmarket
- Good features list - 10.1-inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, etc.
- Realistically achievable range of 300-350km on a full charge
Skoda Octavia
- Impressive balance of ride and handling
- Powerful engine
- Interior fit and finish, and quality
- Super practical boot and cabin

MG ZS EV
- Rear seat space is good but some may expect a roomier experience for the price
- Boot space could’ve been more generous

- Some ergonomic flaws - lumbar cushioning feels excessive, front armrest may be too tall for short drivers
Skoda Octavia
- Price
- Missing some premium features like a sunroof and ventilated seats
- Lack of autonomous safety features
- No diesel powertrain on offer
