Initial Australian details for the upcoming 2017 MG ZS small SUV have been revealed this week ahead of its local launch in October.
A spokesperson from parent company SAIC Motor confirmed with Australian media this week that the ZS will arrive around October, complete with two engines and three trim levels – though final pricing and specifications are yet to be announced.
First of the two engine options will be a naturally-aspirated 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine, with slightly higher outputs than the 78kW/137Nm unit in the current MG3 light hatch, though these figures are still to be confirmed.
Powering higher-grade models will be a new 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, developing 92kW of power and 170Nm of torque.
