El MG ZS has been the model that has once again popularized the former English brand. If you remember a little, back in the day they had a model for sale with the same name. Of course, its commercial positioning was totally different since it was the sporty version of the compact sedan Rover 45. But after Rover's bankruptcy and goodbye, things have changed a lot and the proof is that that same name has once again been a total sales success...
Now we are faced with an SUV that, due to its size, plays halfway between urban and compact. It is closer to the latter but for price and quality it is closer to the former. Nevertheless, offer an electric version With “sufficient” autonomy it has given it a boost in sales. And now that it is selling out commercially it is about to brand new new generation which seems to be coming very soon. As much as it would be in a handful of days.
The new MG ZS will sport a more risky design and its technical level will be much higher...
For now the data we have about the new MG ZS is few and confusing. Not in vain there are media that have already echoed them and we want to tell you about them. Thanks to Auto Express it is known that The new Anglo-Chinese SUV will go one step further in terms of ambition. According to statements by David Allison, head of product and planning at MG UK…
«I have to say that, leaving aside the Cyberster, of all the cars that we are launching or will launch this year, overall I think the new ZS is actually the best ever. It is very well designed, the interior is charming and it drives very well.«
Therefore, Allison has confirmed that a new ZS is on the way and it will also be radically better than the one that is still for sale. But he wanted to go one step further with depending on what details...
According to Auto Express, it will have a more aggressive design that is closer to its latest range siblings. Apparently there will be a great Wider, more prominent grille like those seen on the recent 3+ Hybrid and HS. For now it is not known how much its heights will grow, although it should be just enough to continue between segments B and C. But there are data that are more important than those merely focused on its aesthetics and we are referring to what its appearance will be like. mechanical range.
Apparently, always according to Allison's words, the new MG ZS will hit the market with greater mechanical variety. In the first moment It is expected to have the same hybrid powertrain that the 3+Hybrid. If so, we would be looking at one of the most powerful B-SUVs on the market at, perhaps, a knockdown price. As for the ZS EV, the brand is studying replacing it with a totally new model that has nothing to do with this family.
Its debut is scheduled for the end of August but there is no official date defined...
And up to this point we can read why Auto Express does not give more details about this new ZS. As an additional note, they indicate that the brand is "full" manufacturing all the units that can. Apparently their sales are so good that they can't do enough to meet all the requests they have. In fact, they expect that when the new one arrives their sales will drop because they will have to stop production of the old one and the new one will take a while to take off.
This should happen throughout the third quarter of this year. It looks like The new ZS will be released before August ends but there is no designated day on the calendar. Therefore we will be very attentive to everything that may come to us from MG since this year they will close by renewing a large part of their range. And with the ZS they have a lot at stake because with the new 3+ Hybrid they position themselves well in the access area in the segment that has the most sales on the European continent.
