MG Motor UK has revealed a facelifted version of the ZS compact SUV, which is available to order now.

The new model features a new interior, revised styling and improved technology and specification.

From launch, the new ZS will only be available with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and manual gearbox. Automatic versions are said to follow, but the 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol is no longer offered.

CO2 emissions from the 1.5 VTi-Tech petrol engine are 155g/km, with combined average fuel consumption rated at 41.4mpg.

The fully electric ZS EV will also remain on sale, with a similar facelift expected to be announced shortly.

New headlights, bumpers and alloy wheels complete the exterior changes, while inside, there’s a new soft-touch dashboard and a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

The two-model line up consists of Excite and Exclusive. Both versions are now equipped with electric folding door mirrors, LED headlights and a front armrest.

Exclusive models additionally feature blind spot monitoring, a 360-degree reversing camera, a digital instrument cluster and heated front seats.

The new infotainment system includes climate control functions and provides Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

The MG ZS comes with a seven-year warranty. Excite models cost £15,495 and the Exclusive is £17,795 on-the-road.
