MG launches bargain new ZS SUV

British brand MG has launched its fourth new model since returning to the UK under Chinese ownership. The ZS represents MG's entry into the massive-selling compact crossover sector, and aims to compete on space and value – undercutting ostensible rivals such as the Nissan Juke by as much as £3,000.

Prices for the new ZS start from £12,945, but despite these bargain origins MG offers zero-per cent finance and an impressive seven-year, 80,000-mile warranty. It's clear, then, that MG is aiming the ZS more at the likes of the Dacia Duster than upmarket rivals such as the Mazda CX-3.
