Hi, can someone detail the differences between Traffic Jam Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control on the ZS EV please? For me they look like the same thing. Thank you
They sort of are - but traffic jam assist will do low speed following of the car in front, obviously when in traffic. ACC is the same technology but for more general driving. It’s possible they use different criteria and/or software setting but same ACC radar. At least that’s my experience of them.Hi, can someone detail the differences between Traffic Jam Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control on the ZS EV please? For me they look like the same thing.

Not having digested the car manual I though that the MG Pilot was rubbish at first, but when I engaged traffic jam assist by double pulling the stalk the car now cantered in the lane and followed the car in front. TJA should bring the car to a stop in slow traffic but when using ACC only it also did this so I don't see the difference either. I use the full MG Pilot on motorways and ACC on other roads when suitable.
But just using ACC the car also follows the car in front in slow traffic too. If the car in front stops so does your car, when the car in front goes so do you.Double pulling the stalk engages MG Pilot, which includes TJA. Without the double pull you are just using ACC.
In ACC it matches the speed of the car in front, it does not follow it as in going round bends, changing lanes etc. In TJA it literally (correct use of the word for a change) follows the car in frontBut just using ACC the car also follows the car in front in slow traffic too. If the car in front stops so does your car, when the car in front goes so do you.
