I think the new HS looks great, much better than the ZS in my opinion.
However, before ordering, please head over to the Honest John forum and look at the posts by long term contributor oldroverboy.
He has just got rid of a ZS which he’s had for less than 2 years because of numerous electrical faults, warning lights, sensors etc. To be fair, the dealer has been very helpful but cannot get to the bottom of the problem.
To make matters worse, the company MG will not engage with customers, they just refer you back to the supplying dealer.
More worryingly, there are now several cases of corrosion on newish cars. Apparently MG use a film coating made by Henkel China, rather than galvanising the panels and chassis. Seems it’s not working too well.
So while their looks and interior quality have improved greatly, they are still budget cars in important fundamental areas.
Choose at your peril.
