The MG ZS has been offered in Australia with both petrol, hybrid and electric powertrains, giving used-car buyers plenty of choice depending on their driving needs and budget.
Most used MG ZS models are powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine producing 84kW and 150Nm, paired with either a 4-speed automatic on earlier models or a CVT automatic on later facelifted models. With claimed combined fuel consumption of around 6.7-7.1L/100km, it’s a practical choice for everyday commuting and city driving.
Buyers wanting stronger performance should consider the Excite Turbo or Essence Turbo, which use a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 115kW and 230Nm, matched to a six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission. These variants offer noticeably stronger acceleration while maintaining good everyday drivability.
The MG ZS hybrid and EV are also available in the used market for buyers looking to switch to electric driving. It offers quiet performance, zero tailpipe emissions and lower running costs, making it a compelling alternative for drivers with regular access to charging.
All petrol-powered MG ZS models sold in Australia are front-wheel drive, providing predictable handling and efficient everyday performance.
