About the MG ZS Mk2
The second-generation MG ZS, launched in late 2024, represents a significant step up in quality and technology for the brand's best-selling SUV. Moving away from the budget-first approach of its predecessor, the Mk2 introduces the 'Hybrid+' powertrain shared with the MG3, pairing a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a potent electric motor. This setup delivers a combined 196 PS, making it one of the quickest cars in the B-SUV segment while maintaining high efficiency. The interior is vastly improved with a dual-screen layout and a more mature design, positioning it as a serious rival to established hybrids like the Toyota Yaris Cross and Hyundai Kona.
