. Hi Chris - Sorry to hear you will be leaving the forum ?.
When you get your new car, after a few weeks, can you please pop back and give us a quick “Pro vs Con’s” - “Likes & Dislikes” between the e.Nero and the ZS EV.
I really had you pencilled in for a ZS EV Gen 2 to be honest ???.
Thanks !.
Right chaps, as requested a quick comparison ... between the Kia Eniro 4+ and the OLD ZS Ev.
please bare in mind not i'm not very 'techy minded'..
Looks...I think they both look great....the least impressive thing about the Kia in the nose...and lack of grill....then blow me, the new MG looks very much like the Kia!
Ride and comfort.......I think the Kia has a slightly better ride, it feels more planted on the road, probably helped by the independent rear suspension. The seats feel better and having 2 driver settings is good (as the Mrs will actually drive this one!) The steering column adjusts up and down as well as it and out. The Climate control is brilliant, you just set it once and forget it, no misted windows ...hot or cold spots, no faffing with buttons whilst driving.
The auto headlights on the Kia are superb, the auto dip works quicker and better than I can! This was not aways the case in the MG where I frequently reverted to manual mode. The screen, electronics sat nav etc., are a step up from the (old) MG. I think MG had a slightly bigger 'boot', but not by much. There are no weird noises in the Kia. But the sunroof was better in the MG.
Range.....No range anxiety with the KIA...stated range 280miles....ON Sunday I gave it real test!
Our usual 155 mile trip from Derby to Norfolk. I could just make that in the MG..no air con, speed max 60, a bit of slip streaming with big lories, careful acceleration etc. etc. The Mrs was always 'flapping' during the whole blooming trip!
This time, I drove the Kia just like I would any of my previous ICE cars, the last one being a BMW X1.
The weather was foul, heavy rain the whole trip, very windy, we set off early in the dark with the headlights on for the whole 3 1/4 hours. Climate set at a comfortable level. I didn't hang about at all.....drove very vigorously !! Arrived with about 50 miles in "the tank "....so in effect I got about 200 miles rather than 280. But I cannot imagine worse conditions. I am very happy with that.
The Kia has been in production for about 4 years...and it shows, little things have been refined and improved over the years. But it came at a price.....£39k. For us it bought peace on mind and excellent quality and good dealers. I'm sure the new MG will be a big improvement on the old one and for a lot less money than the KIA.
You pays your money and makes your choice. For us it was the right choice

at the right time.
All the best and enjoy the new ZS EV.
