MG ZS Price

The NimbleFins car data experts have dug into publicly available new and used car data to learn how much motorists are really paying for their MG ZS cars. Here's what we found.

Cost of a new MG ZS

In 2024, starting OTR MG ZS prices for new vehicles ranged from £18,335 for an Excite trim internal combustion car up to £35,495 for a long-range EV with Trophy trim.

And if you opt for additional options and extras like premium paint, this can add to the list price. For example, the ZS Excite trim in Dynamic Red starts from £19,030 OTR (vs. £18,335 for Arctic White).

What price are MG ZS cars really selling for in the UK? Across different trim and fuel types, NimbleFins analysis of brand new cars for sale in summer 2024 found that the average price for a brand new MG ZS across different trim and fuel types was £21,211—an average of £17,155 for an internal combustion engine (ICE) and £26,850 for an EV. Interestingly, the average ICE market price is less than the OTR price, suggesting dealers are offering discounts. These figures reflects the average of over 200 brand new vehicles for sale across the five trim levels and four engine types.

Cost of a used MG ZS

As expected, the cost of a used MG ZS declines with car age. NimbleFins analysis of over 700 MG ZS vehicles with petrol engines in the used car market indicates that cars lose around £1,700 on average if they are resold sometime in their first registration year, representing around 9% depreciation—this is quite low, indicating the ZS holds its value pretty well. Then a MG ZS depreciates another 7-10% per year in the next few years.

MG ZS Insurance Costs

NimbleFins market tests of hundreds of cheap car insurance policies found that a low-risk driver could pay as little as £465 a year or so to insure an entry-level MG ZS, but that the more premium trim levels and EVs might cost our sample driver around 66% more, bringing their insurance cost up to nearly £775 a year. This is largely because a more expensive vehicle would cost more to replace in the event of theft or write off—resulting in higher premiums.

Your insurance prices will certainly vary; use this information as a rough guide as to starting insurance costs and to see how they might vary by fuel type and trim level. To find out your MG ZS insurance costs, use the quote calculator below:

MG ZS Road Tax Cost

The road tax for a new MG ZS is highly variable, due to the range of fuel types, engines and list prices. As a fully electric car, the MG ZS EV is charged £0 the first year and £0 in subsequent years.

For internal combustion engines, the MG ZS typically has a first-year tax rate of £270 or £600, depending on the emissions; in ongoing years most incur a £190 road tax per year.
