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
Toyota Hilux
- Legendary reliability
- Cabin feels premium
- Excellent off-road capability with locking differentials
- An array of customisation options
- Easy to drive with the tried and tested 2.8-litre diesel engine

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
- EV charging infrastructure is inconsistent. Home/work charging and the portable charger will be more dependable than public charging
- Some ergonomic flaws - lumbar cushioning feels excessive, front armrest may be too tall for short drivers
Toyota Hilux
- Lacks road presence for such a massive truck
- Not very comfortable for the rear seat passengers
