Mercedes-Benz EQA vs MG ZS EV

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Mercedes-Benz EQA has the higher published DC charging figure at 102 kW, which is roughly 11% higher than the MG ZS EV at 92 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Mercedes-Benz EQA is listed at about 35 minutes, which is 2 minutes quicker than the MG ZS EV at 37 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Mercedes-Benz EQA has a WLTP rated range of approximately 560 km, which is roughly 120 km more than the MG ZS EV at approximately 440 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Mercedes-Benz EQA consumes 168 Wh/km, compared to 185 Wh/km for the MG ZS EV. That means the Mercedes-Benz EQA uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Mercedes-Benz EQA has approximately 70.5 kWh of useable battery , while the MG ZS EV has approximately 68.3 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Mercedes-Benz EQA has the higher published DC figure (up to 102 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 35 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Mercedes-Benz EQA supports up to 11 kW (22 kW optional), compared to up to 11 kW for the MG ZS EV. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Mercedes-Benz EQA is the more efficient choice at 168 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Mercedes-Benz EQA has a WLTP rated range of approximately 560 km, which is roughly 120 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
