Matt Campbell drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- A delightfully mature small SUV
- Heaps of safety tech, and it’s not too frustrating either
- Spacious and comfortable cabin
Misses
- Not as precise to drive as some turbo rivals
- High servicing costs through MG workshops
- Fuel use is a little high

The MG ZS Turbo is the one to buy if you’re thinking about this new small SUV and you can’t stretch to the hybrid.
