Shared watch-outs for both cars
Owners of every car here flag real-world range. Worth checking on a test drive whichever you choose.
MG ZS EV
Trophy Long Range 72kWh
Owners love
- Excellent value for money compared to competitors like Tesla and VW, with well-equipped trim levels.
- Very low running costs compared with petrol when charged on an off-peak tariff
- Good real-world range of 200-270 miles in mixed conditions, with the 72.6 kWh battery providing comfortable margins.
Watch out for
- Software and app issues including infotainment bugs and connectivity problems in weak signal areas.
- Limited real-world motorway range at constant 70 mph, typically 160-180 miles before requiring a charging stop.
- Winter range significantly reduced to 200-220 miles compared to summer range exceeding 250 miles.
Owner tips
- Charge at home on an off-peak tariff to keep running costs low
- Choose the Long Range (72.6 kWh) battery for comfortable range margin on longer journeys; Standard Range (51 kWh) is adequate only for under 120-mile daily commutes.
Peugeot e-2008
Allure 54kWh 156
Owners love
- Owners describe it as comfortable, quiet and easy to drive, with relaxing adaptive cruise on the motorway.
- The mix of physical buttons and touchscreen, the 3D dials and the reversing camera get praise.
- Several owners report no faults and no battery degradation over several years.
Watch out for
- Real-world range is well below WLTP, especially in winter without a heat pump; around 130 to 180 miles is commonly reported.
- The MyPeugeot app is widely criticised as unreliable.
- The range estimate on the dash is inconsistent.
Owner tips
- Plan on about 170 to 180 miles in mild weather and much less in winter.
- Use phone mirroring for navigation and voice commands.
