Comparison: Boot space MG ZS vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this medium SUV?

The MG ZS has been a distinguished member of the MG lineup, taking on the role of a versatile compact SUV with a focus on practicality and value for money. Boot space, an essential factor for many buyers, is one of the most scrutinized aspects of any vehicle in this segment. With the latest iterations, the MG ZS continues to offer decent luggage capacity, making it suitable for families and adventurous souls alike. But how does the boot space stack up against its ancestors and rivals? Let’s delve into this capacious conundrum.

MG ZS - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Historically, the MG ZS has evolved considerably across its generations. The first-generation model, spanning from 2001 to 2005, boasted a respectable 466 liters of boot space – unchanged even after a facelift in 2004. Fast forward to the second generation, introduced in 2020, a marginal reduction brought the boot space down to 448 liters. Despite this, the newer models have improved versatility, offering up to 1166 liters with the rear seats folded. Not a major loss in everyday use, but still something to note. The 2021 facelift of the second generation maintains the 448 liters, continuing to deliver a balanced mix of practicality and modernity.

The boot space of the current generation of ZS is 443 l.

The boot space compared to other MG models

Within the MG family, the ZS finds itself in a rather comfortable middle ground when it comes to boot space. It outpaces the smaller MG3, Cyberster, Marvel R, and MG4 models, which offer 293, 249, 357, and 363 liters respectively. However, when pitted against the MG HS/EHS and the MG5, it lags slightly behind, as these models provide 463 and 479 liters respectively. Clearly, the MG ZS ensures a solid offering without being the outright leader in its brand's lineup, vindicating its multifunctional SUV character.

  • MG4 363 l
  • MG3 293 l
  • Cyberster 200 l

How does the boot space of the MG ZS compare to it's nearest competitors?

Comparing the MG ZS to its closest competitors, we see a mixed picture. For instance, the Citroen C4 pales in comparison with a scanty 314 liters, while the Toyota Corolla Cross isn't far ahead with 414 liters. Meanwhile, the Lynk & Co 01 and Peugeot 4007 offer comparable figures, coming in at 466 and 510 liters, respectively. However, the Opel Grandland X and Renault Arkana throw a real spanner in the works with their generously proportioned 514 and 513 liters of boot space, making the MG ZS's 448 liters appear somewhat modest. In this bustling battleground, the MG ZS strikes a balanced note, combining its 4323 mm length and 2585 mm wheelbase to offer an equilibrium of size and usable space, even though some might still crave for a bit more luggage room.
