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
Volkswagen T-Roc
- Refined engine and smooth suspension setup
- Smart styling and strong build quality
- Touchscreen system feels premium and easy to use

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
Volkswagen T-Roc
- No diesel option
- Misses must-haves like cruise control and wireless charging
- Immoderate usage of hard plastics inside the cabin
- Price
