MG ZS review - Boot space, practicality & dimensions
“The boot is a good size given the hybrid powertrain, especially with the seats folded down”
A focus for the MG ZS should be practicality as it’s one of the main reasons buyers go for fashionable SUVs. The ZS is now around 93mm longer, 9mm wider and just around the same height as before. There’s a good amount of space inside the ZS, and we think even six-foot adults would feel comfortable in the back. The windows are big, which helps make the cabin feel airy – as does the brightly coloured headlining.

Does the MG ZS have a big boot?
Unfortunately, the MG ZS’s boot is now five litres smaller than before because of the need to incorporate the hybrid system – as it goes that’s not actually too much of a compromise, and fold the seats down and you’ll free up even more space than before at 1,298 litres (82 litres more than in the old car, but still behind on the Renault Captur.)
There are some practical touches in the boot, too, like nets, hooks and various tie-down points which make it more versatile to suit your needs. The boot floor can also be moved if you need it to stay flat or want to free up more space below the load lip.
