The ZS has its strengths, including its relatively classy interior, decent handling and roomy rear seats. Just bear in mind that the Dacia Duster is better still because it's cheaper to buy, more comfortable and has a bigger boot.
The entry-level trim is well-equipped despite its low price, with rear parking sensors, LED headlights, a 10in touchscreen infotainment system and electronically folding and heated side mirrors.
Our chosen engine sprints from 0-62mph more slowly than the more powerful 1.5 VTi but pulls far better from low down in the rev range. As such, it makes life a lot easier when you need a sudden burst of power.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we created our free New Car Buying service. This links you with trusted local dealers who base their offers on prices haggled by our mystery shoppers.
