20 May 2021: Australia's award-winning, best-selling small SUV is now even better value, thanks to the introduction of two new variants to the popular MG ZST range, the MG ZST Core and MG ZST Vibe, offering customers an even more accessible entry point.
The introduction of the two new variants delivers a new entry point of $25,490 driveaway for the MG ZST Core, with the MG ZST Vibe starting from $26,990 driveaway.
Bringing a high level of safety technology and must-have inclusions, the new offerings further add to MG's small SUV success story.
With driver and occupant safety top of mind, the new MG ZST Core and Vibe are also equipped with the brand's Driver Safety Technology system, MG Pilot, which includes ten cutting-edge electronic safety systems that actively work to avoid accidents before they happen.
Coupled with MG Motor's standard 7-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, the new MG ZST variants offer compelling value in the competitive small SUV segment.
"It's pleasing to see the strong reception of the MG ZST since arriving in Australian showrooms late last year," said Peter Ciao, CEO of MG Motor Australia and New Zealand.
"Our current line-up has been widely embraced and rated by our customers as a premium and stylish compact SUV that's built to standout on Australian roads."
"The introduction of the MG ZST Core and Vibe will offer a new level of refinement and value to the segment," he continued. "We've listened to our customers and provided an impressive list of features in the new MG ZST variants that are usually only available in the premium segment."
New premium styling
The introduction of the MG ZST Core and MG ZST Vibe follows the refined and advanced styling of the recently introduced MG ZST Excite and Essence in late 2020. Notably, the exclusive front grille remains emphasised by a slick black high-gloss finish, delivering eye-catching style that perfectly frames the iconic MG badge.
The black high-gloss detailing further extends across the exterior elements of the vehicle including mirror covers, side sill inserts and fog light surrounds (available for Vibe only).
Inside, the two variants offer occupants the same superior shoulder, hip and headroom throughout the cabin as their top-end counterparts.
Comfort is top-of-mind with premium soft-touch materials throughout the cabin, including a leather wrapped perforated steering wheel and interior trim with contrast stitching, comfortable fabric seating, front centre armrest and two rear ISOFIX attachment points, which is perfect for growing families.
Packed with innovative technology
Committed to ensuring customers are equipped with the highest levels of innovative technology at an attainable price point, the MG ZST Core and Vibe both boast keyless entry and push-button start, Passengers can easily connect to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ through its 10.1-inch touch screen infotainment system.
