After its first crossover MG GS, MG launched a smaller crossover called MG ZS. If that name sounds familiar, that’s because it was used before in Europe on a sporty sedan based on the Rover 45. When the ZS starts sales in Europe, it will be renamed MG XS there to avoid confusion. Power comes from either a 1,5 120hp/150Nm mated to a 5MT/4AT or an optional 1,0T 3-cylinder with 125hp/170Nm mated to a 6AT or 6DCT. A 1,5T with 150hp will arrive later. Dimensions are 4.314/1.809/1.648mm with a 2.585mm wheelbase. Prices start at 73.800 yuan and run up to 115.800 yuan (€9.600,- / US$10,700 to €15.000 / US$16.800), which is spot on with its domestic rivals Geely Emgrand GS (77.800 yuan), Haval H2S (83.800 yuan) and Soueast DX3 (67.900 yuan), but significantly below foreign brand players like the Honda XR-V and Vezel duo (128.800 yuan).
