New MG SUV Hits The Roads

MG has opened order books for its latest MG ZS Hybrid+, writes James Stinson.

The new model builds on the success of the existing MG ZS, currently the brand’s second best-selling model in the UK, with substantial upgrades in technology, comfort and performance.

The new MG ZS Hybrid+ is available in two trim levels, SE and Trophy, with the SE starting from just £21,995 and the range topping Trophy variant priced from £24,495.

Both models come generously equipped with full LED lighting front and rear, a 12.3-inch HD infotainment display with navigation and live services, a 7-inch virtual driver display, rear parking sensors with camera, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and keyless entry.

MG Pilot, which comprises a comprehensive range of safety and driver assistance technologies, is standard on both models, and includes adaptive cruise control, active emergency braking with pedestrian and bicycle detection, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot detection, forward collision warning, and traffic jam assist.

For an extra £2,500, the Trophy edition gains 18-inch ‘Sabre’ alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, leather style upholstery, heated front seats and steering wheel, 6-way electrically-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, and a 360 degree surround view camera.

The hybrid powertrain seamlessly integrates a 100bhp 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 134bhp/250Nm traction motor for a combined output of 193bhp. This combination ensures a refined driving experience with decent performance, reaching 62mph from rest in 8.7 seconds. Fuel economy is a claimed 55.4mpg with a low CO2 emissions of 115kg/km.
