The review praised the ZS for its space, value and smooth, responsive urban driving, but criticised its heavy steering, unsettled ride and distracting infotainment and driver-assistance displays.

The electric ZS is not being directly replaced: the source says a separate electric compact SUV related to the MG 4 was expected to take its place in 2025.
