AI generated from our expert reviews
The longer MG ZS offers a bigger boot and more room with the back seats folded, though the Renault 4 E-Tech can tow more. In the back, two adults should be able to get very comfy in the MG, whereas adults will probably start feeling cramped on long journeys in the Renault, and neither cabin is the best for fitting three across. On the motorway, the Renault 4 is comfortable and refined enough that wind and road noise never becomes a problem, but the ZS has quite a lot of wind and road noise at speed. On a twisty road, the MG is not particularly satisfying to drive quickly, and the Renault never feels particularly fun.
