Should you buy one?

Probably not. The ZS may be a canny buy if you desperately want a practical, new car with a long warranty. But it’s outclassed by most rivals.

The Volkswagen T-Roc feels better built with a nicer interior, the Renault Captur is more stylish and the Kia Stonic comes with an even more comprehensive warranty.

What we like

There’s no denying that the ZS offers a lot of space and kit for the money. A 448-litre boot and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto for this price is not to be sniffed at.

What we don’t like

The engines aren’t particularly economical, the interior feels dated and it’s missing safety equipment compared with rivals.
