MG has launched the facelifted ZS
crossover in the United Kingdom. The updated model is
described as a “fantastic evolution” of its predecessor. On the styling front,
the crossover has been equipped with a revised grille and new LED headlights.
The model also adopts a sportier front bumper and new fog lights.
The styling changes continue out back as
there is a more aggressive bumper and new taillights. The model also features
restyled wheels, additional body-color components and faux aluminum accents.
Moving into the cabin, drivers will find a
new digital instrument cluster in the range-topping Exclusive trim. However,
all models gain a larger infotainment system with 10.1-inch display as well as
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
Elsewhere, designers gave the ZS a revised
dashboard with more soft touch materials. The model also has new switchgear,
revised trim and a new front armrest.
Motivation is provided by a naturally
aspirated 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine that develops 105 hp and 175 Nm of torque. It is connected to a five-speed
manual which sends power to the front wheels.
As you can imagine, the performance isn’t
great as the dash to 96 km/h takes 10.4 seconds and top speed is just 175 km/h. On the bright side, the model has a combined fuel economy
rating of 41.4 mpg UK (6.8 L/100 km) in the WLTP cycle. The facelifted MG ZS is
currently on sale and pricing starts at £ 15,495 OTR.
