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 Taigun
- Classy Volkswagen family SUV look
- Punchy and refined 1.5-litre TSi engine
- Impressive infotainment experience
- Fun to drive
- Automatic transmission with both engine options.

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 Taigun
- Sitting three people at the back is a squeeze
- Fit and finish levels are not as good as the Vento
- GT Line gets less features as compared to the Highline
- No diesel engine option
