Zs

The 2025 MG ZS starts at $22,990 drive-away for Excite petrol, $26,990 for Essence petrol, and $29,990 for the ZS Hybrid+, with the ZS EV typically priced from $41,990. “MG zs price”, "MG zs price Australia", and “for sale” are top new-car queries. Metallic paint and options can boost drive-away figures. Most states offer EV rego discounts, while all ZS are covered by a seven-year unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia. Always confirm demo specials and supply with your local dealer.

Boot capacity for the MG ZS is 359L with all seats up and up to 1,166L with the second row folded, making it competitive in the small SUV segment for prams, shopping, or road trips. “Boot space", "mg zs interior" and “is it family-friendly?” are popular research queries. The rear seat fits two adults or three kids with ease, and multiple child-seat anchor points are standard. High seating and a flat floor add comfort on long country trips. Urban reviewers praise its ease of loading and school-run versatility.

The 1.5L petrol achieves 6.9 L/100 km, the turbo 1.5L about 7.4 L/100 km, and the Hybrid+ drives returns close to 5.8 L/100 km in mixed use. Testers see city figures just above 5L/100 km in real traffic and all versions run happily on regular unleaded. “MG zs running costs”, "servicing", and “hybrid fuel economy” are all high-intent queries. MG’s capped-price scheduled service intervals are every 12 months or 10,000 km. Seven-year warranty keeps long-term costs down for both private and fleet buyers.

With 100 kW combined power and 250 Nm, the Hybrid+ matches rivals for off-the-line zip, delivering 0–100km/h in around 7–8 seconds when the battery is charged. “MG zs hybrid review” and “hybrid+ acceleration” are trending buyer queries. While the three-speed hybrid transmission can delay full power engagement, once rolling it’s perfect for merging and overtaking in city and highway situations. Turbo petrol versions are also lively for the class. Everyday responsiveness makes ZS easy and safe in traffic.

Every ZS arrives with a 10.25-inch colour touchscreen, digital radio, and wired CarPlay/Android Auto support. Essence and above add more speakers, navigation, wireless phone charging, and upgraded trim. "MG zs infotainment", "android auto", and “carplay” are high-volume new-owner checks. Climate controls are touchscreen-based in later models, with physical buttons for demisting and audio volume. Owners praise the system for clarity and ease of use but note that some climate and safety controls require menu diving.

All ZS variants offer AEB with pedestrian/cyclist detection, adaptive cruise, lane-keep, traffic assist, six airbags, and a five-star ANCAP safety score (recent update in 2022). “MG zs safety rating", "ancap", and "zs pilot assist" are core buyer queries. Essence and above add blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic, and a 360-degree camera. Some owners report that alerts can be chirpy but are easily adjusted in the settings menu. All models include child seat anchors and ISOFIX compatibility.

The ZS is similar in size and price to ZST but focuses on comfort over sport; it’s cheaper than the BYD Atto 3 but lacks some range/EV features. “MG zs vs zst", "byd atto 3 vs mg zs ev", and “zs vs cx-3” dominate compare/test searches. Versus the Mazda, MG wins on warranty/price, while Mazda offers sharper drive and cabin finish. Buyers seeking top EV range or sports feel may prefer rivals, but MG wins for value and broad family coverage.

ZS EV variants offer 320–440km real-world range and DC fast charging up to 80 kW, taking the battery from 10 to 80 percent in 40 minutes. “MG zs ev range”, "charging", and "long range" are big FAQs for family buyers. Home AC charging is ideal for daily needs, with overnight top-ups the norm for most suburban owners. Highway and remote users should use apps to confirm DC charger locations in advance. Spare tyre is a can of sealant and inflator, so plan accordingly.

Current ZS petrol and hybrid variants can tow small trailers (unbraked), but check the manual for limits—usually around 500–750kg, not suited for campervans. “MG zs towing capacity”, “towbar”, and "trailer" are core practical research terms. ZS EV has no towing provision in Australia. For heavier loads or family campers, look to larger hybrid SUVs or MG HS.

Popular ZS colours include white, black, blue, silver, and the distinctive Camden Grey and Dynamic Red on some models. “MG zs colours”, "seat covers", and “leather seat trims” spike with family and lease buyers. Essence trim adds heated seats, leather-style, and flat-fold split rear bench. Accessories like floor mats, roof bars, and dashcam wiring are all available in Australia.

MG ZS has built a reputation for reliability with a seven-year unlimited-kilometre warranty, battery included on EV/hybrid models. “MG zs reliability”, "problems", and "warranty" are trending new-buyer validation queries. Annual capped-price services and included roadside support keep long-term costs predictable. Most owners report trouble-free running, though occasional issues have been solved through dealer software and recall campaigns.

All ZS models for Australia are built in China by SAIC MG, with national support from MG dealers and certified repairers. “Where is MG ZS made”, "australia support", and “dealer near me” now dominate after-sales search terms. Parts availability and warranty support are positively reviewed, especially in metro hubs. Backed by local stock levels and clear service scheduling, the ZS is easy to own anywhere in the country.

Families and business fleets often combine [solar panels](https://topproperty.eco/solar-power) with an MG ZS EV for “fuel-free” daily travel, cutting costs and emissions. Petrol and hybrid ZS still benefit from solar at home for household expenses, helping pave the way for a future switch to an EV. “MG zs solar”, "home charger", and "eco upgrade" are growing trends among city buyers. Accessory EV chargeres and schematic upgrades are dealer-supported. Green energy plans further reduce long-term driving expenses.

MG supplies roof racks, seat covers, rubber mats, bike carriers, dash mats, and roof boxes—all covered by car warranty when dealer-fitted. "MG zs accessories", "floor mats", and “seat covers” spike for family owners. Third-party items are widespread due to MG’s size. Always confirm part compatibility with your dealer, especially for the ZS EV (unique roof, no tow bar, unique mats).

ZS Hybrid+ combines a 1.5L petrol engine with a small (1.83 kWh) battery for up to 5.8 L/100 km and hybrid drive, powered only by engine and regeneration—no plug-in charging. It’s smoother in the city than the petrol turbo, but the three-speed e-transmission takes learning. Compared to turbo, Hybrid+ excels in stop-start traffic but can struggle on long climbs/highways if battery is depleted. Both petrols and Hybrid+ suit regular unleaded, with no turbos and no plug-in cable required. Reviewers encourage buyers to match the powertrain to their trip and traffic style.

ZS service intervals are every 12 months or 10,000km. Most buyers see capped-price costs at half or less of most rivals—a big win for family and fleet owners. “MG zs service schedule”, "cost", and "dealer support" are important purchase checks. Hybrid and EV maintenance is even cheaper: no oil changes, fewer wear parts, and less downtime. The warranty covers roadside help and any battery issues for seven years.

Its tidy 4.3m length and light steering make parking effortless, with camera and sensor help on upper trims. Ride is soft for bumps or kerb entry, and school run ability is noted for solid ISOFIX and boot size. “MG zs city”, "school run", and "practicality" spike for Uber and new parent buyers. Hybrid+ is especially good for traffic, while the EV’s instant torque shines for zippy commutes. Many ride-share drivers report ultra-low running costs and high customer comfort.

All trims use a mobility kit or inflator, not a spare tyre, to save space and weight. “MG zs spare tyre”, "roadside assist", and "puncture” come up for road trippers and rideshare. Roadside support is included for all seven years’ warranty, giving confidence to new-to-brand owners. Valley and outback users may add an extra pump. ZS EV drivers should plan for charging and tyre care on trips.

Current resale is strong, due in part to demand for well-priced, fuel-efficient or battery-backed SUVs; turbo models hold their price best. “MG zs resale”, "warranty value" and “owner reviews” are popular exit-owner queries, and most report easy sales at good value after three or four years. Seven-year coverage and a growing dealer network mean residuals are better protected than some rivals. ZS EV and Hybrid+ are expected to hold value as electric/hybrid adoption grows.
