The all-new small SUV from MG surprisingly arrives after the hybrid model. The top of the ICE line-up has 18-inch alloy wheels and a 125kW/275Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, while lower-spec versions get a naturally aspirated 81kW/140Nm 1.5-litre.

MG MOTOR’S new gen’ ZS small SUV arrives in FWD Hybrid+ form first with petrol versions down the track. With hybrid powertrain availability, the new model is expected to build on its segment-leading position depending on price and specification.

As the name suggests, this vehicle is MG Motor Australia’s Long Range variant of the ZS EV small electric SUV priced at $55,990 drive-away. The Chinese manufacturer fast-tracked the vehicle’s arrival here due to unprecedented demand for its current battery electric vehicle (BEV) offering.

Buyers snapped up 500 ZS EVs early this year with a $500 discount on ChargeHub wall-charging station. Price is $46,990 D/A for the well-equipped small SUV with a 130kW/280Nm (320km range).  

MG Motor Australia officially sold out the pre-launch offer associated with the first 500 units of its updated ZS EV, well before the official on-sale date of July 2022.
