Looking at a ZS EV

[Chris H]

Here are the photos for the same pushchair in Honda Civic 2013 (400 litres official space) and MG (470 litres official space).

2023 MG ZS EV:

In the MG it won't fit between the wheel arches so won't sit flat. In the Civic it sits flat with 2-3 inches spare. Also far less space above, even though I have the boot base on the lower setting.

That's strange, I found the boot space really disappointing. We have a 2013 Honda Civic hatchback and a toddler living with us. The Out'n'About Nipper pushchair fits very comfortably in the back of the Honda with space either side, but can't even lay down in flat the MG boot. When we went on holiday we fitted 3 large suitcases and 2 small ones in the back of the Honda after we found they wouldn't fit in the MG, which we had planned to go to the airport with. This was with the seats up, since we had 4 people.
It's a bit strange, makes me wonder where they get the specs from. The MG says 470 litres, yet the Honda spec is 401 litres, but has demonstrably more space. I can post photos of the pushchair in each car if anyone's interested.

Dont forget the floor is dual height. With the floor lowered right down the boot is positively huge.

That picture is with the lower height. I never understood why they have the higher one, why would anyone want to make the boot smaller by leaving it on the higher setting?

Chris, it's dual height to make it easier to get things in & out of the boot by reducing the threshold lip height. Not everyone finds it easy to reach down & lift heavier items out of the boot or indeed to place those things into a low boot floor. It works. Also gives good space to store extra cables & other items out of the way rather than have them on the active boot floor. Your pictures are good. It's clear the issue you speak of is purely down to the differing shapes of the boot as you suggest.
