My first thoughts from the test drive are that it's very smooth and at lower speeds feels quite refined. That falls apart a bit at higher speeds but it's still not too bad. Interior wise it's easy to pick holes but then you have to remind yourself it's probably one of the cheapest EV's on the market and if you compare it to the likes of a Renault Zoe it's a far nicer place to be.
In many ways it really does remind me of my ZS 180's. The interior looked nice on first inspection however poke a bit deeper and it was very easy to see where the cost cutting had happened however given the cost and way they drove you could forgive them for it!
The new ZS EV does feel a lot better built then the old ZS however it's certainly not a premium product but for that money we can live with the rough edges.
