Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

MG ZS EV
- Understated and classy styling
- Rich interior quality. Feels very upmarket
- Good features list - 10.1-inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, etc.
- Realistically achievable range of 300-350km on a full charge
BYD Atto 3
- Big on presence and has distinctive design and interesting details
- Impressive interiors: quality, space and practicality is all on point.
- 60.4kWh battery promises 521km of claimed range.

MG ZS EV
- Rear seat space is good but some may expect a roomier experience for the price
- Boot space could’ve been more generous
- EV charging infrastructure is inconsistent. Home/work charging and the portable charger will be more dependable than public charging
- Some ergonomic flaws - lumbar cushioning feels excessive, front armrest may be too tall for short drivers
BYD Atto 3
- BYD’s limited dealer/service network.
- Quirky interior design might not be to everyone’s taste.
