Just days after launching the MG ZS in Thailand last
month, MG displayed the new SUV at the 2017 Thai Motor Expo.
The MG ZS was introduced as the brand’s new compact

on a shortened version of the MG GS’ platform. The ZS is 4,314 mm long, 1,809

China, a 5-speed manual transmission isn’t available.
Noteworthy features of the SUV include projector
