The compact crossover segment in Saudi Arabia continues to heat up with increasing competition, and the all new 2025 MG ZS arrives as a game changer in this space. Blending bold design, advanced technology, and refined performance options, MG delivers a vehicle that embodies the brand’s modern identity. Targeting young drivers and small families, the new MG ZS offers a smart mix of style, practicality, and value. Now officially launched through its local distributor, Giad Modern Motors (Al Naghi), the MG ZS quickly stands out as one of the most compelling SUV options in the market, bringing premium level features and design within a highly accessible price point.
Bold Exterior Design Reflecting a Spirit of Evolution
The exterior design of the MG ZS 2025 highlights a clear evolution in the brand’s design language. At the front, a large glossy black grille seamlessly integrates with wide side air intakes, giving the vehicle a modern, aggressive stance. The LED headlamps, equipped with internal lenses, enhance visibility while adding a distinctive visual dimension to the front fascia.
Along the sides, electrically foldable mirrors with integrated turn signals combine functionality with sleek styling. The 18 inch dual tone alloy wheels add a dynamic flair that captures the youthful spirit of the vehicle. A panoramic sunroof increases the sense of openness inside the cabin, while the roof rails enhance practicality for long distance travel and varied usage.
At the rear, LED tail lights blend harmoniously with the sculpted tailgate design, maintaining a streamlined look. The luggage compartment offers a practical 443 liter capacity, expandable to 1457 liters when the rear seats are folded. Completing the sporty character of the MG ZS is the lower rear design, which features dual exhaust outlets that emphasize the SUV’s refined yet energetic personality.
Efficient Performance and a Feature Rich Interior That Meets Expectations
The MG ZS 2025 is offered with two engine options tailored to suit various driving needs. The first option is a naturally aspirated 1.5 liter four cylinder engine that produces 112 horsepower and 148 Nm of torque. It’s paired with a CVT transmission and front wheel drive system, delivering impressive fuel efficiency of 16.3 kilometers per liter, making it ideal for daily urban commuting.
The second engine option uses turbocharging technology, also with a 1.5 liter displacement, but delivers a more powerful output of 168 horsepower and 275 Nm of torque. This version offers quicker acceleration and more responsive performance, supported by three selectable driving modes: Eco, Comfort, and Sport. The top speed reaches 180 kilometers per hour, and both engines are paired with a 55 liter fuel tank optimized for 91 octane gasoline.
Inside, the MG ZS strikes a balance between modern aesthetics and practical design. The dashboard is anchored by a 12.3 inch infotainment screen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside a 7 inch digital instrument cluster that provides clear and intuitive driving information. The cabin features five leather upholstered seats, with a six way power adjustable driver’s seat that includes lumbar support and a four way manually adjustable front passenger seat.
Additional interior amenities include an automatic air conditioning system with rear vents, a six speaker audio system, four USB ports, and a 12 volt power outlet, ensuring a complete driving experience that caters to both driver and passengers in all conditions.
Smart Safety Systems Inspire Driver Confidence
MG has equipped the 2025 ZS with a comprehensive suite of intelligent safety systems that elevate driving confidence and road security. Key features include adaptive cruise control with radar functionality, a 360 degree surround view camera system, and a blind spot monitoring system. The vehicle also offers lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, and emergency lane keeping support for added protection.
Enhancing control on uneven terrain, the MG ZS comes with a hill descent control system, as well as a traffic jam assist feature for smoother urban driving. The advanced safety package also includes front and rear collision warnings and a door opening alert system for added situational awareness. These systems are supported by six airbags, an electronic parking brake (EPB), automatic hold function, and tire pressure monitoring (TPMS), offering a reassuringly safe experience in all conditions.
The MG ZS 2025 is available in three main trims: Comfort 1.5L at SAR 64,750 (63,406 AED), Comfort 1.5T at SAR 73,600 (72,073 AED), and the fully equipped Luxury 1.5T trim at SAR 82,200 (80,494 AED). Backed by a 6 year or 200,000 kilometer warranty, the ZS demonstrates MG’s commitment to quality and long term value.
