MG ZS Hatchback (2001-2004) boot space, practicality and safety

Looking for a different model? (change model)
Practicality rating: 3.5 out of 53.5

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019

ABS, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and twin front plus side airbags are standard on all models. Old Honda Civic (on which the ZS is based) had a mediocre crash test rating. Standard alarm, immobiliser and remote central locking; removable stereo.

Plenty of load area for a hot-hatch, but not quite enough cubby holes and places for your nick-nacks.
