Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

B-SUV electric among the best in segment: 0–100 km/h (8.5 s).

Less suitable for

Long motorway trips without charging planning. With 263 km WLTP (around 184 km in motorway/winter conditions), expect regular charging stops.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is WLTP range, the Peugeot e-2008 136 (1st with 400 km) takes the lead.

Real-world range: 263 km WLTP (WLTP range)

The ZS EV FWD offers 263 km of WLTP range. The segment reference is the Peugeot e-2008 136 (400 km).

MG ZS EV FWD: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the ZS EV FWD rank in its segment?

Among the 2 B-SUV electric 2018–2022, the ZS EV FWD ranks WLTP range (263 km, behind the Peugeot e-2008 136), 0–100 km/h (8.5 s, behind the MG ZS EV FWD).

What is the WLTP range of the ZS EV FWD?

263 km WLTP announced - making it the WLTP range out of 2 models. The reference is the Peugeot e-2008 136 (400 km).

How much does the ZS EV FWD cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Peugeot e-2008 136 instead?

The Peugeot e-2008 136 leads in WLTP range (400 km vs 263 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the ZS EV FWD vs Peugeot e-2008 136 duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
