2022 MG ZS EV Interior
The overall layout of the MG ZS remains much the same inside, with a comfortable and spacious cabin.
Where the biggest changes come are the instrument cluster and centre console. The former is now an all-digital affair with a more modern look that remains simple to read at a glance.
Some manufacturers like to pack out these digital instrument displays with layers of information, but MG keeps it refreshingly simple.
New materials on the dashboard fascia include a faux carbon-fibre effect, but by far the most welcome change is the replacement of the cheap and dated-looking touchscreen with a larger, more up-to-date 10.1-inch unit. Not only does it appear more modern, but it also reacts far quicker to inputs.
2022 MG ZS EV Safety Rating
The current MG ZS was tested by ANCAP in 2019 where it scored a full five stars, thanks in part to the inclusion of six airbags and ten active driver safety systems that come under the ‘MG Pilot’ banner.
Available safety equipment will include:
- AEB with pedestrian/cyclist detection
- Intelligent Speed Limit Assist
- Lane-keep assist
- Lane departure warning
- Adaptive cruise control
- Traffic Jam Assist
