    MG ZST Review, Colours, Interior, For Sale & Specs in Australia

    MG ZST Review, Colours, Interior, For Sale & Specs in Australia

    FROM
    $25,490

    Don’t get fooled by the naming, the MG ZST is just an update to the existing ZS small SUV with a number of tangible improvements.

    For starters, styling is tweaked for a fresher and more modern look, while a new 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine was also introduced with the ZST.

    Power and torque reach 115kW/230Nm with the new engine, but the powertrain is kept for only the top-spec versions of the ZST crossover.

    The line-up currently starts at $25,490 for the ZST Core and ranges through to $30,490 for the range-topping ZST Essence.

    MG ZST FAQs

    Can my 2022 MG ZST run on e10, and is 20 percent window tint legal?

    According to the manufacturer, your MG can not be run on E10 petrol. But the MG ZST can live with E5 fuel (petrol with up to five per cent ethanol content) if you can find it. Unfortunately, most ethanol blended fuels in Australia are up to 10 per cent (E10) so you should give them a miss.

    Window tinting rules vary from state to state, but in Queensland (where UV light levels are higher than, say Tasmania) you can get away with slightly darker tint and still be legal. But, a window tint that is 20 per cent VLT (Visible Light Transference, or; the percentage of light the tint allows through) is only legal on privately-registered cars in QLD on the rear and rear-side windows. The front side windows cannot be tinted to less than 35 per cent VLT and the windscreen can not be tinted at all (beyond a factory tint) apart from the top 10 per cent of the glass area. So, no, a 20 per cent VLT tint all round would not be legal.

    There's enough space for the passenger and front driver and there's also a lot of room in the second row, it's even fairly comfortable for taller people (for this class), with a decent amount of headroom.
