The MG ZS Trophy Long Range makes a persuasive case for the modern electric family SUV, blending everyday usability with an impressive dose of value-led engineering. With its substantial 72.6kWh battery, this ZS goes comfortably further than most rivals at the price point, turning range anxiety into a distant memory and making longer motorway runs feel entirely routine. On the road, the 156ps electric motor delivers smooth, instant acceleration that suits the car’s relaxed, confident character. It’s not about hot-hatch theatrics, but rather refined, fuss-free progress, with light steering and a compliant ride that copes well with the realities of British roads. Around town, it’s quiet, easy to place and genuinely relaxing to drive. The Trophy trim adds a welcome sense of polish. Inside, there’s a modern, well-equipped cabin with a clear infotainment system, smart digital displays and a reassuring level of standard kit, including driver assistance tech that works unobtrusively in the background. Space is another strong suit, with plenty of room for passengers and a practical boot that suits family life. All told, the MG ZS 72.6kWh Trophy Long Range is a quietly impressive electric SUV: sensible, comfortable and refreshingly affordable, without feeling like a compromise.
