At MG, we build our vehicles on three core principles: Fun to Drive, ‘Vigorous Design,’ and ‘Futuristic Hi-Tech.’ Our mission is to go beyond mere functionality and deliver vehicles that blend innovation, quality, and affordability. In the competitive South African market, MG has struck the perfect balance with the ZS and HS models—SUVs that cater to both practicality and driving pleasure.
MG ZS: Where Practicality Meets Style
“Good Things Await”
The MG ZS is the ideal crossover for young families, offering an unbeatable combination of affordability, reliability, and contemporary design. With a strong global presence in over 100 countries and more than 1,000,000 units sold, the ZS has accumulated over 700 million kilometres of real-world driving experience, proving its dependability on the road.
Built on a Legacy of Excellence
MG benefits from being part of the SAIC Group, China’s largest automaker, alongside SAIC Volkswagen and SAIC-GM. This shared supply chain ensures consistency in quality, stringent manufacturing standards, and outstanding value. The industry-leading 7-year / 200,000 km warranty stands as a testament to MG’s confidence in its vehicles.
Design & Comfort
The ZS features distinct British-inspired styling cues, such as the ‘London Eye’ headlamps and the signature ‘leaping leopard’ shoulder line. Inside, it offers remarkable space for a B-segment SUV, with generous legroom and a versatile boot capacity ranging from 359L to 1,166L.
Safety & Performance
Equipped with six airbags and an advanced Bosch ESP system integrating eight safety functions, the ZS prioritises driver and passenger security. The 1.5-litre NSE powerplant delivers 84 kW and 150 Nm of torque, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission for a smooth drive. The three-mode steering system (Urban, Normal, and Dynamic) enhances driver control, while 17-inch alloy wheels provide a commanding road presence.

Dynamic Styling & Premium Appeal
Adopting MG’s latest slimline grille design, the HS exudes presence with its hunting-eye headlamps, sculpted bodywork, and distinctive dual-spoiler rear design. Details such as carbon fibre accents, gloss black wheel arches, and 19-inch petal-pattern alloys further enhance its dynamic aesthetics.

Performance & Safety
Under the hood, a 125 kW turbocharged engine with 275 Nm of torque powers the HS. Paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, it ensures refined yet engaging driving dynamics.
With a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, the HS boasts an ultra-high-strength steel body (82%) and the MG Pilot safety suite, featuring 14 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as Front Collision Warning, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
