2025 MG ZS: A New Era for Small SUVs in Sydney and Beyond
The highly anticipated 2025 MG ZS SUV is set to hit Australian dealerships soon, bringing with it a host of technological upgrades and new pricing that signals a shift from its predecessor. Priced from $26,990 to $31,990 drive-away, this all-new model is designed to offer better safety and technology compared to the previous generation.
Pricing and Availability
For the 2025 MG ZS, Australians can expect the following prices (all drive-away):
- ZS Excite – $26,990
- ZS Essence – $29,990
- ZS Essence Turbo – $31,990
- ZS Hybrid+ Excite – $33,990
- ZS Hybrid+ Essence – $36,990
Though the price of the new model has risen compared to the older version, these increases come with valuable upgrades. The entry-level petrol-powered ZS now costs $4,000 more than the old base model, while the range-topping Essence Turbo is $2,000 more expensive. But it’s important to note that the previous ZS lacked essential safety features like autonomous emergency braking (AEB), which is now standard on all trims of the 2025 model.
The Tech You’ve Been Waiting For
In a significant departure from the earlier ZS, the 2025 version comes packed with tech, including a new infotainment system, enhanced safety features, and more comfort. The base ZS Excite ($26,990) offers a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, sat-nav, and a rear-view camera, making it a solid option for those who want the latest tech without breaking the bank.
For those looking to upgrade, the ZS Essence ($29,990) adds larger 17-inch alloy wheels, a 360-degree camera, a 12.3-inch infotainment system, and six-way power-adjustable heated seats in a faux-leather finish. At the top of the range, the ZS Essence Turbo ($31,990) swaps in a 125kW/275Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged engine for more power, offering a more engaging driving experience compared to the base model's naturally aspirated engine.
Fuel Efficiency and Performance
Fuel efficiency has also improved with the 2025 MG ZS. The 1.5-litre petrol engine now averages 6.7L/100km, which is an improvement of 0.2L/100km over the previous model. Meanwhile, the turbocharged 1.5T returns 6.9L/100km, saving 0.4L/100km compared to the older car. Both engines strike a balance between performance and economy, making the ZS an appealing option for daily drives around Sydney or longer weekend getaways.
Sutherland’s Role in the ZS Journey
As MG's presence continues to grow in Sydney, with more dealerships like those in Sutherland gearing up to showcase the 2025 ZS, local drivers are in for an exciting experience. The new model promises a higher level of sophistication and value, which will no doubt resonate with buyers looking for a tech-forward, affordable small SUV in Sydney.
