MG has unveiled the 2025 MG ZS, set to hit the Australian market with a hybrid option, enhanced technology, and a refreshed appearance. This second-generation model of MG’s popular small SUV is expected to arrive in late 2024, aiming to compete with the Toyota Corolla Cross and other hybrid counterparts in the segment.
The new ZS Hybrid+ boasts a petrol-electric drivetrain, similar to the MG 3, featuring a 75kW 1.5-liter non-turbo four-cylinder engine paired with a 100kW/250Nm electric motor for a total system output of 144kW. This combination enables the ZS Hybrid+ to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 8.7 seconds, delivering an appealing blend of power and efficiency.
Unlike its hybrid version, the standard petrol ZS models will continue to be part of the lineup, offering varying engine options. The petrol variants will come with a range of transmission choices, including a continuously variable transmission (CVT) automatic, promising a diverse driving experience to cater to different preferences.
As the automotive industry shifts towards greener technologies and stricter safety standards, the new ZS is expected to come with more advanced features and equipment. The upcoming model is likely to see a price increase to accommodate these enhancements, positioning it as a more competitive and modern offering in the small SUV market.
Standard equipment for the base ZS model in the UK includes a range of sophisticated features such as alloy wheels, a large infotainment touchscreen, satellite navigation, and a comprehensive suite of active safety systems. These additions are designed to enhance the overall driving experience and ensure a higher level of safety for occupants.
While the current ZS achieved a four-star ANCAP safety rating in 2017, the new model may face challenges in obtaining a five-star rating due to the absence of certain safety features such as a front-center airbag or a driver monitoring camera. However, with its advanced safety technologies, the ZS aims to provide a secure and protected environment for both drivers and passengers.
With the introduction of the ZS Hybrid+ and the anticipated improvements in standard equipment and safety features, the 2025 MG ZS is poised to make a significant impact in the Australian automotive market. As consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability and safety, MG’s latest offering is well-positioned to meet these evolving demands and expectations.
As more details about the 2025 MG ZS emerge closer to its Australian launch, car enthusiasts and potential buyers eagerly await the opportunity to experience the innovative features and enhancements that this second-generation model has to offer. With its hybrid technology and advanced safety systems, the new ZS represents MG’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge vehicles that cater to the needs of modern drivers.
