MG ZS EV European vs UK model

[BobsEV]

Comparing the specs of the European and UK model on the websites, a few things stood out as different in the EU model:

• Lane Change Warning (I think we have it in the UK but not listed separately in spec list)
• Slush door trim (what the heck does this mean?)
• e-call system (I think the UK model should have it by law but does that mean there is a SIM within the car for connectivity? It is not called out in the spec sheet though...)

I wonder if there are any other differences (other than the steering wheel on the other side).

Do they have a darker blue colour option as well ?

Hi, Just recieved my MG ZS EV last month in the Netherlands in dark blue (regal blue). So yes..

e-call system is standard and comes with all models. I think it's an inactivated sim card that actitates when used. I'm not paying any data subscription for it and it should work.. hope i don't find out.. even then.. I still have a phone.

Lane change warining is standard (all models)

Slush door trim only on the premium version. (don't know what it is either)

I'd like to know where the e-call sim card is so I can take it out!

Don't ask me.. I only push the button when needed.

Where is the button located on your car? I don't think we have it on the UK model...

Thanks dprager for taking the time to take a photo for us. I checked yesterday in my car and it seems the UK MG ZS EV doesn't have that button... (or my one doesn't...) Strange, I thought it was mandatory in the UK (given EU laws) to have e-call...

I guess the SIM is "hidden" elsewhere in the vehicle, and the EU promised they won't use it to track people (given the limits with using a SIM only), so that's OK then
