    Thanks for this down to earth review of this obvious gem in the segment. Just recently I had a rental with the same safety features and know for sure that my next car must have those. It's much more important than soft touch materials and the like but other brands sell them - except those required by law - only in the higher specs eg. in combination with leather seats and other expensive features I don't need.

      @ Spacewise I‘d prefer the HS but I wouldn‘t be able to take the full benefit of a PHEV due to the unsufficient grid situation in my area which doesn‘t allow the installation of a wallbox at my parking spot (and no access to the house by car). Right now the ZS luxury would make the race. Luckily the two old French cars with 300‘000km/200‘000km are still running…

    • @PlanetautoUK
      @PlanetautoUK  หลายเดือนก่อน

    This car is amazing! I have been looking around for quite some time and this is the only one that would tick all the boxes while staying affordable. Here in New Zealand, for whatever reason, we don't have the heating steering wheel but we get the sunroof... all at around the NZ$ equivalent of 18,350 pounds, with a warranty is 10 years/155 miles! This makes it an absolute no-brainer. Competitors annihilation.

    Looks a great car for the money. I have last model ZS ii 1.5 and its not missed a beat. Only criticism is that its a bit underpowered on motorway driving, so thats been rectified in this model. You mentioned " alert sensitivity" - can you expand

    Well another good unbiased review ,did you get invert to give the zs a test drive before they go to the dealers,I was looking a used Toyota cross I'm driving a 12 year old reo diesel and thought I'd go for something higher as I'm now 71 so I read about the new mg3 which with all the safety Tec is important as you get older ,
    The old mg3 isn't a bad height but the new one is a little lower
    But doesn't have 40 60 split rear seats which is important when I take my sister on holls ,or do I wait and see if they put them in ,or go for the zs which you say has even more, but is it to big for just two the size doesn't bother me I drove vans decisions I'm just going get a good test drive of them both .thank
    As I drove vans

    • @PlanetautoUK
      @PlanetautoUK  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you David, I’d say the ZS is more likely to suit, a decent size split seats which we missed in 3, and just as fun, not too naggy or too big. I use to drive vans too delivery driver in my trusty Transit, now it’s Merc vans on the channel, which I love - keep us posted on what you decide

    Consider the MK1 ZS (SUV) could be had in its cheapest form for less than £13k only back in 2017/18…. MG3 used to cost less than £8k - sure, they’ve really improved by MG have increased their prices as much if not more than other brands - when you consider they are made in China, they are pretty expensive in £’s. They could sell them for less and still make a profit.

    • @PlanetautoUK

      This is why I mentioned the price increase and my iPhones made in China, as is our Canon, and numerous other tech, always had good quality from reputable brands from China, copy stuff not so much - MG price according to there competition, it’s better equipped and equally built therefore it’d be foolish to underprice plus only Kia offer a 7 year warranty like MG.
