MG Motors has announced its new MG ZS crossover is now on sale across the Middle East, bringing “premium style, without the premium price tag” to customers across the Gulf region.
Prices for MG’s new crossover start from QR46,000 for the entry-level 1.5L STD model, a statement noted.
Auto Class Cars, the Nasser Bin Khaled (NBK) Holding subsidiary and authorised distributor of MG in Qatar, has announced that MG ZS will be available for sale in the Qatari market by the end of April. 
It has encouraged all car enthusiasts to visit the MG showroom on Salwa Road to “uncover the many benefits of the new model”. 
The new MG ZS enjoyed its Middle East debut in Oman as part of a two-day media test drive event, and is now available in three trim levels - 1.5L STD, 1.5L COM and 1.5L LUX – the “perfect option for buyers seeking a good-looking, well-equipped, well-built car at a sensible price”.
Tom Lee, managing director - MG Middle East, said: “The new MG ZS features a stylish new design language and a host of hi-tech features tailored specifically to the needs of the younger generation and the female market. All of which makes this a very strong entrant into the regional SUV sector, while at the same time helping spread the message that MG is a key player on the 
international automotive field.” 
Sheikh Faleh bin Nawaf al-Thani, Automotive Operations director at NBK Holding, said: “The MG ZS crossover is the perfect solution for those looking to drive in the city or off-road. Auto Class Cars will stay committed to providing the best practical cars, designed with touches of elegance and luxury.” 
A distinctive grille, increased MG branding and a delicate front end give the car a refined look that carries through its sweeping corners to the robust rear end. A combination of quality and a premium finish have been at the heart of MG’s design philosophy for the MG ZS, with every surface, material and fitting selected for its visual impact, as well as durability and longevity.
With a New Generation NSE Major 1.5L engine it can travel 100km on just 5.8 litres, giving it “unrivalled fuel efficiency for its class”. When it comes to performance, this efficient petrol unit delivers maximum power of 119hp and 150Nm of torque. Delivering true driving excellence, the MG ZS offers three power assisted steering modes – Urban, Normal and Dynamic – which are designed to give the driver complete control. It is equipped with a 4-speed automatic 
gearbox.
Standard features on all models include one-button start, power adjustable wing mirrors, manual air conditioning, a 60/40 rear seat, height-adjustable steering column and a front armrest. Contributing to the new model’s impressive safety credentials, ABS, EBD, ESP and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring 
System are also standard.
Moving up to the COM model, buyers can look forward to adding cruise control, power assisted steering modes, parking sensor, InkaLink system, side airbags, LED Daytime Running Lights, a premium multifunction steering wheel and a roof rail to the specification list. The top-of-the-range LUX model swaps 16” alloy wheels for 17” dual colour alloys, and adds automatic air-conditioning and a rear camera.
