LEADING consumer car expert What Car? has named the  MG ZS EV as its best used electric small SUV in its Electric Car Awards.

The magazine and website, renowned for its no-nonsense consumer advice, awarded the accolade to the ZS EV for its “nigh on impossible to beat” value for money.

What Car? Editor, Steve Huntingford, said: “Many electric SUVs carry premium price tags both new and used, but not the MG ZS EV. This car is really in a class of its own, offering buyers a well-equipped, emissions-free small SUV for tempting second-hand prices.”

The judges also praised the ZS EV’s impressive standard equipment, performance and interior design.

Accepting the award, MG’s Marketing Director David Pugh said: “With its transferable 7 Year Warranty, low running costs and incomparable value for money, the ZS EV makes every bit as much sense used as it does new.

“At MG we have pioneered the introduction of practical and affordable EVs to the UK market, so it’s almost inevitable that these ground breaking new EVs become equally significant used car pioneers.  If EVs are to become mainstream in the UK then they need to be just as integral to the used car market as they are to new cars, and we’re proud that our early products are leading this important transition.

“We’re delighted to have received this recognition from What Car? at a time when our dealer network is growing rapidly and used car supply is starting to develop, as it represents yet another chapter in MG’s quest to offer affordable EV motoring for everyone.”

MG currently offers six models in the UK including three plug-in cars – the established MG ZS EV, the game-changing MG5 EV Long Range and MG HS Plug-in Hybrid, all backed up by MG’s incredible 7 Year Warranty and fast-developing dealer network.
