Hot car deal: wallet-friendly MG ZS SUV for just £236 per month

Small SUVs are a common sight on UK roads, with models such as the Nissan Juke, Peugeot 2008 and even the budget-focused Dacia Duster all vying for your attention. MG has its own value-focused, small SUV in the ZS – a decent-looking, comfortable and well-equipped model that still holds a lot of appeal despite not really being able to challenge the class leaders. 

What’s so good about this MG ZS SUV deal? 

This four-year deal, offered through Applied Leasing, lets you cover up to 5,000 miles a year with an initial payment of £2,826.36, then 47 monthly payments of £235.53. If you require more flexibility, it is possible to tailor either the mileage limit or the term agreement, but you will end up paying a little more. For example, doubling the mileage allowance to 10,000 miles per year means you’ll be charged £248.04 each month, plus a slight increase in the initial deposit amount.

Offered in top-of-the-range Exclusive specification, the ZS features a generous level of standard kit, including 17-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, a 360-degree parking camera, rear privacy glass, cruise control, leather-trimmed heated front seats, and a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with integrated navigation and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Power comes from a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 104bhp via a five-speed manual gearbox, while claimed overall fuel economy is 42.7mpg.

What’s so good about the MG ZS SUV?

While not being the most refined or fun-to-drive, the ZS has become a popular choice with buyers in the UK, often making an appearance in the top ten sales chart. It has an appealing mix of value and practicality, along with impressive standard kit and the higher driving position that people seem to favour nowadays over regular, low-slung hatchback models.
