Vehicle Description
Used Car Review: 2021 MG ZS EV 105kW Excite 45kWh Auto (21 Plate)
Affordable Electric Motoring With SUV Practicality
The 2021 MG ZS EV Excite is one of the most accessible ways to get into the world of electric driving — and it’s not just about the price. With its family-friendly SUV design, solid range, and strong equipment levels, this 21-plate model delivers serious value in the used EV market.
⚡ Electric Performance & Battery
This version of the MG ZS EV is powered by a 105kW (143bhp) electric motor paired with a 45kWh lithium-ion battery. It delivers smooth, instant acceleration and is particularly nippy around town, with a 0–60mph time of around 8.5 seconds.
It’s front-wheel drive and uses a single-speed automatic transmission, which makes for a very relaxing drive — especially in traffic. There are also three driving modes (Eco, Normal, Sport) and regenerative braking settings to help stretch the battery life.
The real-world range is around 140–160 miles per charge (up to 163 miles WLTP), making it ideal for city use, commuting, and short-to-medium journeys. Charging from 0–80% takes about 40 minutes on a 50kW rapid charger, or around 6.5 hours on a home wall box.
🛋️ Interior, Tech & Practicality – Excite Trim
The Excite is the entry-level trim, but it’s still packed with features and feels well thought-out for the price. Standard kit includes:
✅ 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
✅ Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
✅ Rear parking sensors
✅ Air conditioning
✅ Sat nav
✅ Bluetooth & USB connectivity
✅ 17-inch alloy wheels
Interior space is generous for a compact SUV, with comfortable seating for five adults and a 448-litre boot, which is larger than many rivals — making it great for families or anyone needing extra luggage room.
🎨 Design & Road Presence
The MG ZS EV looks smart and modern, with clean lines and subtle EV-specific styling touches like the closed-off grille and charging port at the front. Even in Excite trim, the 17-inch alloys, LED daytime running lights, and raised SUV stance give it a confident, contemporary look.
It’s a practical crossover with enough visual appeal to avoid looking overly “budget.”
🛡️ Safety & Reliability
Safety is a strong point for the ZS EV. The 2021 model includes:
✅ Autonomous emergency braking
✅ Lane keep assist
✅ Traffic sign recognition
✅ Hill-start assist
✅ Tyre pressure monitoring system
✅ Isofix child seat anchors
It also scored 5 stars in Euro NCAP safety tests, which is impressive for a car at this price point. And like all MGs, the ZS EV comes with a 7-year/80,000-mile warranty — so many 21-plate models will still have several years of manufacturer cover remaining.
✅ Final Verdict
The 2021 MG ZS EV 105kW Excite 45kWh is a no-nonsense electric SUV that’s big on practicality and value. It may not have the longest range or most premium badge, but it gets the job done with comfort, decent tech, and solid electric performance.
If you're looking to make the switch to an EV without stretching your budget, or just want a hassle-free family car with zero emissions and low running costs, this 21-plate ZS EV is a smart and sensible choice.
