The new MG ZST is now available at the Salwa Road showroom of Auto Class Cars, the authorised general distributor of MG in Qatar.
Available in Qatar at a starting price of QR51,900, the new MG ZST model offers a "fresh new look and even higher levels of equipment and value for money", Auto Class Cars said in a press statement.
"Offering premium style without the premium price tag, the first-generation MG ZS has played a major role in the company’s success across the region.
"With some 5,000 units sold, the original ZS has helped lay the foundations for MG to expand its original line-up so that it now offers some of the most stylish, reliable and best-equipped models on the market.
"The new ZS range, and in particular the ZST, take this offering to a new high," the statement added.
The new MG ZST is equipped with a 160hp, 1.3L turbo engine, delivering maximum torque of 230Nm and mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox for smoother acceleration.
The new unit "greatly improves" the performance of the upgraded MG ZS.
The acceleration of the 1.3L turbo is 9.8seconds from 0 to 100km/h and has a top speed of 185km/h.
It complements the fuel-efficient 1.5L powerplant that delivers 6.2L/100km.
The new models benefit from major style enhancements on both the outside and inside, in keeping with MG’s contemporary design language.
All ZS models feature a new hexagonal grille redesigned LED headlight and rear LED light clusters, while a sportier look is conveyed by the black finish applied to the grille, headlight and fog lamp trim, rear-view mirrors, side skirts and wheels, the statement said.
A key MG selling point is the availability of features that are more normally found in premium cars, yet at no extra cost.
The new MG ZS is no different and all trims come equipped as standard with a rear parking sensor and camera, 17” alloy wheels, a 10.1” HD touch screen with CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control, rear air-conditioning vents, keyless entry, an electric parking brake and push-button start.
The MG ZST "takes this value-for-money package on to another level", adding a state-of-the-art virtual instrument panel for the driver, a 360-degree surround parking camera that eliminates all blind spots, curtain airbags for extra safety and a Trophy Sports Kit that emphasises the new model’s sporty credentials.
Alongside the MG ZST sit two other trim levels, both for the 1.5L variant: LUX and STD.
The interior has also been refreshed, most noticeably courtesy of a new dashboard design and more extensive use of soft-touch materials, while the two-tone colour design is complimented by the red stitching and carbon fibre look interior trim.
A huge panoramic sunroof is available on ZST LUX model, making life on board even more pleasant for passengers.
As a crossover, practicality remains a key requirement and here the extra-large boot with flexible configuration options certainly delivers.
