The MG ZS Hybrid+ Excite, the entry grade model in the line-up, is priced from $33,990 drive-away, which pushes this new model into a financial space the previous generation ZS didn’t occupy.
However, that drive-away price does keep it competitive amongst its small SUV rivals, such as the Toyota Corolla Cross and GWM Haval Jolion.
Standard equipment on the Excite includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, two 12.3-inch digital screens for the instruments and multimedia, as well as navigation, a 360-degree camera and the MG Pilot active safety suite - which includes most of the modern safety systems you need.

The ZS Hybrid+ is powered by a petrol-electric hybrid powertrain that pairs a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to produce a combined output of 150kW/465Nm. The electric motor draws power from a 1.83kWh NCM (nickel-cobalt-magnesium) battery and is paired to a three-speed hybrid automatic transmission.
MG claims the hybrid delivers an average fuel consumption of 4.7L/100km, which is a good return but not class leading.
