THE RISE AND RISE OF Chinese brands continues unabated, and now MG has released a new SZ Hybrid.
It joins the MG’s HYBRID+ family alongside the recently released MG3 HYBRID+.
With the launch of all-new compact SUV within their vehicle line up, MG has shaken up traditional market codes with one of the largest batteries in the compact SUV HEV segment, a 1.83kWh NCM battery.
The all-new MG ZS HYBRID+ boasts a distinctive and striking design that combines elegance and robustness. With a very strong personality, it offers a reassuringly high ride height and uncompromising roominess and trunk space.
MG Motor Australia and New Zealand CEO Peter Ciao said the all-new MG 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.”
“This full hybrid engine provides a smooth electric drive and ensures driving range is
maximised in all circumstances, with direct and instantaneous acceleration. Thanks to this combination, the new ZS HYBRID+ demonstrates maximum versatility and adapts to all urban and road uses.”
Available in two variants, the ZS HYBRID+ Excite is priced from $33,990 (driveaway)
and the ZS HYBRID+ Essence is priced from $36,990 (driveaway).
The ZS HYBRID+ integrates a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with a dynamic 100kW/250Nm electric motor, paired with a 1.83kWh NMC battery and a three-speed optimised hybrid automatic transmission. The ZS HYBRID+ powertrain produces 158kW of maximum combined power and delivers an efficient combined average fuel consumption of 4.7L/100km.
With 8 dynamic propulsion modes, the Intelligent ECU seamlessly adapts to the current driving conditions in real time, delivering an impressive balance of efficiency with power for every driving moment.
From the comprehensive array of advanced driver assistance systems, the new ZS HYBRID+ also features the renowned PILOT Safety Suite including 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, all designed to
