MG ZS gets 2020 redesign

MG's best-selling car, the ZS crossover, has been facelifted with revised styling, a new interior and new specification for 2020. The MG ZS is available to order now from £15,495.

The Kia Stonic and Hyundai Kona rival has been revealed with exterior changes, including new headlights, bumpers and alloy wheel designs.

The line up consists of Excite and Exclusive trims, both equipped with electric folding door mirrors, LED headlights and a driver's armrest. Exclusive-trim models also get touchscreen navigation, a 360-degree reversing camera, blind spot monitoring, a digital instrument cluster and heated front seats.

Inside, there's a new dashboard design with more soft-touch materials, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen - which can be found in MG's larger HS model. This offers DAB, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard.

From launch, the new ZS will only be available with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and five-speed manual gearbox. Automatic versions are said to follow, but the 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol is no longer offered. CO2 emissions are 155g/km, with a claimed 41.4mpg combined fuel economy.

The fully electric ZS EV will also remain on sale, possibly with a similar new look - which will likely be announced soon.

The MG ZS still comes with a seven-year warranty. Excite models start at £15,495, with the Exclusive trim seeing a £17,795 price tag.
