LEVEL UP

THE NEW ZST STANDS AT THE HEART OF AN ENHANCED CROSSOVER LINE-UP FROM MG MOTOR.


The introduction of a punchy new Turbo model is at the heart of the Middle East launch of the latest generation of MG Motor’s popular ZS crossover. The new MG ZST model will be joined by a 1.5L version as the British-born manufacturer upgrades its line-up to offer a fresh new look and even higher levels of equipment and value for money. Offering premium style without the premium price tag, the first-generation MG ZS has played a major role in the company’s success across the region. The new ZS range – the ZST in particular – takes this offering to a new high. The ZST is equipped with a 160 hp, 1.3L Turbo engine, delivering maximum torque of 230 Nm, and mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox for smoother acceleration.

A key MG selling point is the availability of features that are generally found in premium cars, yet at no extra cost. The new MG ZS is no different – all trims come equipped as standard with a rear parking sensor and camera, 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10.1-inch HD touchscreen with CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control, rear air conditioning vents, keyless entry, an electric parking brake, and push button start. The MG ZST takes this value-formoney package on to another level, adding a state-of-the-art virtual instrument panel for the driver, a 360-degree surround parking camera that eliminates all blind spots, curtain airbags for extra safety, and a Trophy Sports Kit that emphasises the new model’s sporty credentials. It is now available for sale. ✤
