Australia’s most popular compact SUV, the MG ZS, has been renewed with the addition of the Hybrid+ technology first seen on the MG3 light hatchback.
MG Motor Australia says the new ZS Hybrid+ brings a range of upgrades that Australian motorists will love.
Deliveries of the new model will begin immediately through the national dealership network.
The brand says the MG ZS Hybrid+ is equipped with a 1.83kWh NCM battery, one of the largest in the segment.
MG Motor Australia and New Zealand chief executive Peter Ciao says the ZS Hybrid+ promises more emotion and quality while benefiting from the highly efficient hybrid engine.
“Australian motorists have fallen in love with the ZS in recent years. This is an exciting time for MG Motor Australia as we continue to update and grow our model range. After our MG3 Hybrid+ launch earlier this year, MG is pursuing its strategy of bringing value-packed innovative hybrid technology across its entire range with the ZS,” he says.
Available in two variants, the ZS Hybrid+ Excite is priced at $33,990 (DAP/MSRP), and the ZS Hybrid+ Essence is priced at $36,990 (DAP/MSRP).
The ZS Hybrid+ integrates a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with a dynamic 100kW/250Nm electric motor, a 1.83kWh NMC battery, and a three-speed optimised hybrid automatic transmission.
The powertrain produces 158kW of maximum combined power and delivers an efficient combined average fuel consumption of 4.7L/100km.
With eight dynamic propulsion modes, the Intelligent ECU seamlessly adapts to the current driving conditions in real-time, delivering a balance of efficiency with power for every driving moment, says the brand.
The new ZS Hybrid+ features the PILOT Safety Suite, which includes Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Assist, Intelligent Cruise Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Detection, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist.
The all-new MG ZS Hybrid+ is backed by MG’s 10-year, 250,000km warranty.
