How does it compare?
The MG eZS stands tall among the electric SUVs on the market, but how does it stack up against its equally eager competitors? We pit it against the likes of the Hyundai Kona Electric, Nissan Leaf e+, Peugeot e-2008, and Chevrolet Bolt EV to see where the chips fall.
Range
The MG eZS touts a respectable range of 335 km (208 miles), plenty to keep you moving without the sweaty palmed worry of finding a charger. While the Hyundai Kona Electric flexes its muscles with a full 484 km (301 miles), the Nissan Leaf e+ lands at 385 km (239 miles). The Peugeot e-2008, meanwhile, cruises at a comfortable 310 km (193 miles), and the Chevrolet Bolt EV hovers at an impressive 416 km (259 miles).
Acceleration
Slicing through the speed charts, the MG eZS manages 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in a brisk 8 seconds. Not quite drag-strip; indeed, with the Hyundai Kona Electric clocking it in 7.6 seconds, the Nissan Leaf e+ slightly behind at 7.9 seconds, and the Chevrolet Bolt EV boasting a nimble 6.5 seconds, the competition is considerably fierce. The Peugeot e-2008 brings up the rear with 8.1 seconds.
Power
When you lift the bonnet, youll find the MG eZS humming away with a solid 150 horsedrawn ponies. The Hyundai Kona Electric churns out 204 hp, whereas the Nissan Leaf e+ stands proud at 214 hp. In contrast, the Peugeot e-2008 musters up 136 hp, and the Chevrolet Bolt EV dazzles with 200 hp.
Charging Time
Nobody likes waiting, and the MG eZS gets this, with a home-charging time around 6.5 hours for a full plug-in session. The Hyundai Kona Electric pushes the plug to about 9.5 hours, while the Nissan Leaf e+ completes its cycle in roughly 8 hours. Over in the corner, Peugeot e-2008 finishes around the 6-hour mark, and Chevrolet Bolt EV stretches it to a robust 9.3 hours.
Price
For the wallets and purses cringing at the ready, the MG eZS rolls in with a tempting price tag of $17,200 USD (£12,965, €15,050). The Hyundai Kona Electric dips deeper into your coffers at $36,450 USD (£27,485, €31,900), while the Nissan Leaf e+ hovers similarly at $38,395 USD (£28,950, €33,750). Meanwhile, the chic Peugeot e-2008 asks for $35,900 USD (£27,075, €31,375), and the trusty Chevrolet Bolt EV comes rather competitively at $31,995 USD (£24,140, €28,050).
